Available on Amazon. Usually zero reviews. But there is that screenshot circling around of a 1-star review based on someone attempting to and failing to put out a campfire.

Watched a 4k blu-ray last night. Let me know when streaming services are sending video with peaks of 100Mbps h.265 and audio with peaks of 4Mbps (and when I can get a home connection that can handle that). And when I can use streaming when utility power is unavailable and my telco DSL is too (they apparently don't have a battery at the remote terminal)
SD cards seem alive and well, although usually micro these days.
If you're including micro SD cards, there's literally one on my phone right now. And optical discs remain good for watching movies, although I agree they're on the decline everywhere else. The rest I haven't seen in forever.
I was not including SDXC or even SHDC cards, only SD. I am trying to find a maximum capacity SD card to use in a Palm T|X, either 1 or 2 GB. Back when SDHC first came out, I often ran into issues with 2 GB SDHC cards not working on older devices. I think being difficult to find is another criteria to qualify as obsolete.
The odd thing about high capacity SD cards in general is that they are generally used as fixed storage. I have a 256 GB card that I put into a 11" laptop when I bought it and I haven't seen it since. I haven't used a CF or SD card like a floppy since storage hit 4 GB.
I agree that I spoke too hastily about optical media. Even modern gaming consoles have optical drives.

If you were a still or video photographer, you would likely be using CF or SD cards like floppies every day still.
(Some of this has been changing with WiFi capable cameras and video cameras with USB-C ports for SSD's etc but SD cards are still very much A Thing for photographers)
I was staying at a hobby farm and I was on the second floor in the loo when I noticed a shadow from above. It was a peacock looking at me through the skylight. They are evil evil birds.
It works the way the law is designed to be interpreted and written. Unfortunately, it's written with the purpose of helping the RIAA enforce their will against the people's will.
So the only way to fight back is to do your civic duty - lobby against it, and/or lobby for a more modern set of copyright laws (and repeal the DMCA). But unfortunately, people don't care enough to force their representatives.
That seems like a bug right? The drawing code might be highly optimized for equal height rows but resizing cells is quite common, I’m surprised they just punt on it.
IIRC redraw doesn't happen until the sort finishes, but I use Excel as little as I can get away with, so I don't have a recent memory to rely on. That said, at a guess, reordering rows of equal height (and otherwise with no non-default properties) is probably mostly just rearranging pointers - why bother keeping row index associations intact, when the only trait of any row is the values in its cells? - while reordering rows of varying height might involve a lot of copying, or otherwise significantly more complex shenanigans, to make sure data and row properties stay properly associated.
I'm not even talking about varying heights of cells, just resizing the window. It. jumps. and. jerks. and. crawls. and. chugs. Even if it's a fresh blank sheet. And the problem gets noticeably and rapidly worse the bigger the window is, so if I want to fullscreen a sheet on a big monitor...oof. It's like the application completely reconstructs the whole visual canvas from scratch any time you do anything, whether it makes sense or not.
This doesn't happen with any other application.
Hiding the ribbon makes a _huge_ difference. That's hilarious and awful.
Windows 10 now being a rolling release is making things even harder. Even if you do learn how to do something, you have no idea how long that method will remain viable or if features will be removed.
I find myself relying more and more on Powershell in Windows and using the Terminal in Mac OS X/OS X/macOS when I have to use these operating systems so I don't feel like a bumbling fool when someone asks for help fixing something. More than once I've had someone wonder out aloud that they thought I knew how to use computers when using the GUI.
I remember feeling angry when I learned about the undocumented MBR switch for FDISK. There I was, beginning to learn to spell words with 6 or more letters, thinking I had to use a hex editor to clean up the MBR.
All that effort with no guidance whatsoever that could have been minimized with one extra line of documentation.
My closest coffee shop would allow people to access Wi-Fi only if you gave them full access to your Facebook account. DNS was the only port open to the outside world.
I've seen this on Ubiquity hardware as an option too. Apparently it requires you to "check-in" via facebook to use it, whatever that means exactly. There is also an option to login via facebook without this though.
How about no. Or hell no. If I see a request like that it is an immediate disconnect. Might as well have a requirement that they do a full anal cavity sweep before they can sell you a cup of coffee.
RFC7766 "Recursive server (or forwarder) implementations MUST support TCP so that they do not prevent large responses from a TCP-capable server from reaching its TCP-capable clients."
My guess is that it stems from lax firewall defaults. "Allow port 53 - [tcp/udp/BOTH]?" (Yeah, I know that DNS can also work over 53/tcp, but it's rare compared to the 53/udp volume)
It's not as rare as it used to be a couple decades ago. If you block tcp/53 you will find a surprising number of things breaking as record sizes have increased over the years.
i think that is fine actually. however, if i would implement such thing i would probably redirect DNS traffic to my DNS server as long as you are not authenticated :)
The worn wood in grain elevators can be truly amazing from decades of grain eroding the wood and creating beautiful smooth surfaces. It would be a shame to tear it down without reclaiming it.
