It’s palm oil with some peanuts.

Walmart unit price is completely broken in general. They also have glitches in the “did you forget to add?” page where it will show an item as a sale price, but when you add it, you’ll see total price increase by sale price, and a few seconds later, a second price increase to the normal price. Re-checking the cart will show the item as not on sale. There are some other real weird glitches with that e-commerce platform. A rat’s nest of bugs that might not be intentionally nefarious, but also could be.

ChatGPT is already speaking highly of the EO policy statements being put into place, starting on inauguration day. It can no longer be trusted.

Ooh, both good choices. So tough to choose.

Reddit’s response to this will reveal where Reddit likely falls on the Spectrum of Evil. They’re a privately-held company, so any possible protection money they may have paid to the Nazis won’t be visible like Meta’s and such until the FEC report is (likely never) released in 3 months.

Yeah, it started in WWI.

From a 1976 interview with German-American T. Max Kniesche, who moved to San Francisco in 1907, and worked in restaurants and cafes there:

Teiser: What was it like in San Francisco for Germans during the first world war? You were working at a clearly German restaurant. […]

Teiser: Did you change the kind of food that you served, or the decorations?

Kniesche: Well, the hamburger steak was Liberty Steak. French-fried potatoes were Liberty Potatoes. [laughter] We called it Liberty, but the liberty wasn’t there. Anyhow, everything went to “Liberty.” [laughter]

Alternate title: The Cesspool of America.

Oh yeah, I’d still try too. Once rescued a phone from a saltwater beach. It sat there buried for 6 months ish in saltwater. Was able to extract all the data from the MicroSD card and find the owner to give them their lost pictures and such. Would still try, despite knowing the science.

Unrelated, f cell manufacturers for removing MicroSD card slots.

It’s much more simple than that. One can’t help others until one can help oneself. A country can’t help others until it can help itself.

Due to the outcome of the election, all of the United States of America and its territories have been kneecapped and set in a terrible direction that will result in Just. More. Death. There will be no helping others, no helping ourselves, no helping.

All death sucks, and now we have more to layer upon it.

Welp, they just made the do not read list.

It is what every industry always does. The Italian guy playing a Native American crying on the side of the road about trash was just an industry trope to pass trash pollution on to citizens.

On its website, KAB says it was “formed in 1953 when a group of corporate and civic leaders met in New York City to bring the public and private sectors together to develop and promote a national cleanliness ethic.” These “corporate and civic leaders” were members of wealthy packaging and beverage companies, including American Can Company, Owens-Illinois Glass Company, Coca-Cola, and Dixie Cup.

It’s never, “hey we’re going to stop running our giant planet-killing industrial plants,” it’s, “we’re just going to tell you to use your sink less and buy a new machine from us and then the planet will be cool.”

There are these TV commercials about dishwasher soap lately, telling you to use them as often as you want because they use less water than washing dishes in the sink.

Fun stuff about that lie:

• Their fine print, IIRC, claims sink-washing uses 26 gallons of water.
• In that scenario, they expect the way one washes dishes in the sink is to run the water the whole time, not storing the water in the sink

Better DLC too.

Works so well, and soothes the warning annoyance brain, and keeps warnings from eventually becoming errors.

“If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.”

Hard drives, except for helium-filled ones, actually have an air hole in them with a filter attached to it so they can keep enough air in the drive so the heads can properly fly over the disk surface. Completely possible that moisture ingress would be an issue after years of sitting in a landfill in who knows what. It is a darn tiny hole though.

Well, how else would the energy vampire recharge? Huh? Random Internet person?! HOW?!¿¡

It’s rare to see a newborn meme. Soon it will be pixelified to all the doom.

…this hurts my brain. That being said, I’d probably also try it for the lulz, but I’d never bother support about it, because I knew what I was doing was insane.

Oh, apologies for my suggestion before seeing this comment hahaha!

CAN devices I have limited experience with, but I know at least in the automotive industry, vehicles often have various CAN devices that have various sleep states. Like, shut car off, it holds brake system for a few minutes and then unlocks the brakes and that ECU shuts down. Later on, an emissions ECU may run a self-diagnostic. After a few days being powered off, the security ECU goes into low power and turns off wireless doorlocks. After the voltage drops too low, the ECU in the head unit ostensibly shuts down, and the next time the car is started, the head unit has to do a cold-reboot and takes a fortnight.

Could be one of those CAN devices takes some time to get into the “off-adjacent” state to manifest the bug?

Could the time delay in being able to reproduce relate to some piece of code that has a timeout (thinking login timeout, cookie expiration, auth timeout, that sort of thing.) Or likewise, if the computer in question has multiple shutdown phases, like how many computers today “sleep” to RAM, and then an hour later sleep to disk in a more hibernatey fashion and fully power off? (Or some weirdness like how Windows shutdown now is ostensibly a hibernate, but a reboot is actually a full “power down power up” without shutting off power.)

I like @Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 's take on being wall-clock-based. I once had a bug with some software that would just go belly-up on certain days for no reason whatsoever in a datacenter 2000 miles away. After having worked on some bare metal servers in the past and learned all about thermal issues firsthand, I checked the weather in that region. It only seemed to happen on extremely hot summer days, at the day’s temperature peak. Turns out the datacenter vendor had a cooling problem in that section of the DC and they were unaware of it…

Crazy sometimes how bugs manifest.
