  • Conversely, I think that every program should have a way to operate it from the command line and the GUI can just needlessly get in the way a lot of the time `¯_(ツ)_/¯
    You write a command once and you can do whatever you want with it, repeatably, forever. It’s fantastic! You can then pipe the results into a completely different program all without needing to do much of anything! Want to run it on a schedule? Easy! Want to send the exact parameters you used to someone else? Easy! Want to copy and paste the exact output? Easy! Want to get a daily email with the results? Easy!
    Some things are better with a GUI, but, plenty don’t need it.
    With all that said, I understand why a dev who didn’t build their program with CLI in mind wouldn’t want to go in afterwards and add it in, especially if they don’t use/like CLI interfaces.

    I’ve seen similar arguments to yours that every program should have be packaged as an exe, because fuck those fucking programmers thinking I should need to install python to make their shitty programs work. The devs are like “I don’t use Windows and wouldn’t even know how to package it as an exe and even then, I wouldn’t even be able to test that it works, python just works for everyone” and then the guy just continues to go off on a similar rant to yours about how ridiculous this is.

    Besides, even if it had a GUI, the complaint would be “why don’t they make their software do the things that people want it to do‽‽‽” and then going off about how easy this {insanely complicated thing} would be to add in and EVERYONE {nope, just you} needs this function in order for this software to be useful and the dev is just a POS for not adding it.

    Like, I get your point if you’re paying for software that doesn’t make it clear it doesn’t have a GUI, but if you’re just on github using someone elses software that they made for themselves and thought other people might like, why are you bitching? Just move on to another piece of software that can do what you want and has a GUI (I’m going to guess you can’t/won’t because those cost money and you wouldn’t be able to belittle and harass the actual software creators and that’s half the fun for you).







  • TFA has an example of a fake warrant being used and the fake being clearly fake but accepted anyways.

    I know a few people who happily have ring doorbells in their house as cheap cameras and don’t seem to care at all that all an officer has to do to get INTERIOR footage of their house is to ask for it and they get it no questions asked.
    I hadn’t even thought of how easy that makes it for non officers to just do the same thing.







  • I’ve got a couple of Raspberry Pi Zero’s that emulate a mass storage device (basically it acts like a USB drive) that I have connected to 3D printers and my wife’s embroidery machine.

    Instead of using it with a network share like in the link, I share the folder with SyncThing.

    It’s super convenient to not have to move a USB drive around and can just leave it connected and get the files on there seamlessly.



  • There’s also the “oh shit, I’ll get this fixed, but nothing I say can be in writing or I’m definitely getting fired” possibility.

    Nah boss, I just apologized for my misunderstanding, I have no idea why $Insubordinate_Contractor is saying that I said he’d better come in or I’m going to blacklist him in the entire industry and ensure he never works again … I mean, why would I say that?! I don’t have that kind of power!

    If you’re a single man with infants (under age 1) and/or children (under age 5) then, THEY are eligible for the benefits of the program. Women are specifically added in because the program is designed to also help pregnant, breastfeeding and/or postpartum women who have their own nutritional needs. Women who don’t meet those requirements are also not eligible.

    So, you don’t get help with food for yourself, but you can get assistance for infants/children … there are other programs to help you.

    Search terms used on Google in Incognito mode: single man with children WIC eligibility
    Brings you to this page: https://www.joinproviders.com/state/illinois/wic/
    Which has the below information:
    There are four kinds of eligibility for WIC:

    1. Categorical: you need to be a mom, child, or have custody of a child.

    Moms have to be pregnant, up to six months past pregnancy, or up to your baby’s first birthday if you’re breastfeeding.

    Children are eligible up to their fifth birthday.

    Foster parents, guardians and single fathers who have custody of their children are also eligible.

    1. Residential: You need to live in the state where you’re applying.

    2. Nutritional: A health professional needs to determine if you are at “nutrition risk.” This might mean you have a medical condition like anemia, or a diet that could be healthier. You can see a health professional for free at a local WIC clinic.

    3. Financial: Your household needs to make less than the amounts listed in the income limit table below to qualify for WIC. A pregnant woman counts as two (or more) household members. If you know you’re having more than one baby, count each one as a household member.

    The top link for that search is for a page in IL, but I saw similar for other states.


  • Is that planes that are packed to the gills or private planes that actually have space that people aren’t crammed into?

    Also, 3-4/6 liters of what? ICE cars and modern planes aren’t burning the same fuel, so I’m not sure what this is intending to portray by directly comparing how much of each (in liters) that they burn (serious question, no snark)



  • I thought it was 30, but it looks to be 20USD, which like you said, not a terrible price by any means. I usually get the 100W capable ones for around 10-12 when they go on sale, so I even retract my “I wouldn’t pay their prices” comment since I have paid 18-20 when I needed a good cable ASAP.

    People just like to complain about the “apple tax” and I can’t fault apple for not trusting their brand to shoddy products because the news isn’t going to report that a shitty cable burned down a house, it’s going to be that an iPhone burned down the house.


  • Hard to say. A LOT of USB-C cables don’t meet spec and are either hot garbage or a risk waiting to happen, even if it’s not immediately apparent to you as a user of them, based on the testing that Benson had previously done.

    If Apples devices can detect this, you may get an error. People are already ragging on the cost of Apples USB-C cables, but to my knowledge, they all meet the spec and will also 100% work at 100W of charging and the other auxiliary items in the spec that most manufacturers seem to just ignore.

    Now, with all that said, I’d never pay Apples price for a single cable, but if you absolutely want a cable that’s going to meet spec, I also can’t fault you for buying one either!
