HP, as well as being hostile to its customers, is also complicit in the Israeli occupation, and is a major target of the BDS movement: https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp

Don’t buy HP products.

“Hello, this is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce ‘Linux’ as ‘Linux’.”

So yeah, he pronounces ‘Linus’ like ‘LEE-noose’, and ‘Linux’ like ‘LEE-nooks’. (Roughly, anyway. It should get the point across for most English speakers, I’m not at a computer to do a more-correct IPA transcription right now.)

“Hello, this is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce ‘Linux’ as ‘Linux’.”

“Hello, this is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce ‘Linux’ as ‘Linux’.”

I think it’s just the two feelings, but in quick succession. Like an emotional dipthong. Or maybe even just simultaneously? Doesn’t have to be a unified thing.

But I guess, ‘tragicomic’, or ‘funny with pathos’.

Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache

Sadly, I suspect this is to protect adults on the network…

where the port is rotated 180 degrees so the push is between the plug and the back of the screen

That ought to be a crime! I would be getting fed up with that pretty quickly and making some improvised modifications to disable the retention clips!

a plug that claws itself in place

Just FYI, you can get DP cables without the retention clips. I too find them unnecessary and annoying.

Yeah, in the UK ‘trousers’ means ‘pants’, and ‘pants’ means ‘underpants’. Hilarity may ensue.

“Socks before or after trousers, but never socks before pants. That’s the rule. Makes a man look scary, like a chicken.”

This is a question, not a thought… You want !asklemmy

What they’re referring to is that analogue CRTs don’t really have a fixed horizontal resolution. The screen has a finite number of horizontal lines (i.e. rows) which it moves down through on a regular-timed basis, but as the beam scans across horizontally it can basically be continuous (limited by the signal and the radius of the beam). This is why screen resolutions are referred to by their vertical resolutions alone (e.g. 360p = 360 lines, progressive scan [as opposed to interlaced]).

I’m probably wrong on the specifics, but that gives the gist and enough keywords to find a better explanation.
