Sovcit trying to pay their mortgage.
  • That’s not a bullion coin, it’s just a pre-64 quarter. It’s about $20 in silver, depending on spot price.

    I collect coins, not silver, and these are not special in any way. I sell them for melt value to buy better coins.

  • Microsoft Please Fix
  • I agree that the gatekeeping isn’t a good thing, but you should learn at least the basics of the CLI. It will give you a better understanding of what’s going on behind your GUI and makes troubleshooting and fixing problems a lot easier.

    Definitely not required but it is absolutely a skill worth having.

  • Microsoft Please Fix
  • Then you don’t understand git or source control in general. If you don’t commit your changes, then you discard any changes, you’re set back to the last commit. Discarding changes also includes any un-committed new files.

  • A new stronger Ozempic is coming. Here's what to know
  • It’s a happy accident. They were working on a diabetes treatment, which they did develop. The side effects included weight loss, so it started to get prescribed off-label for that. Then they did the required testing to get it approval for weight-loss.

    It works because it is a fake hormone that mimics GLP-1, a hormone that is involved with appetite regulation. When it binds to the GLP-1 receptors it causes more insulin to be released in response to sugars which lowers blood sugars. The weight loss doesn’t come from that, though, it comes from the appetite suppression.

    A lot of people seem to think you can eat as much as you want while you’re taking it. That’s technically true, but really because you won’t want to eat much.

  • [FIXED] t480: usb port stopped work
  • You can try to see if lspci sees the USB controller. Next I would try running diagnostics from UEFI, see if you get any errors. Try a bootable USB to verify if it’s a hardware or software issue.

    Any hardware diagnostic failure or failure to boot from it will tell you you need a new system board.

  • Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year
  • Requiring a support contract to receive continuing updates of software that was very publicly approaching end of support, with published EoL dates for years now does not break any laws.

    By that logic, no support contracts are legal in the EU at all, and no product would ever be sunset.

  • AT&T tries to defend why it shouldn't let you unlock your phone sooner
  • They automatically unlock it once it’s paid off. They have a disclaimer that it needs to stay on the network for 60 days after it’s paid off, but I think that’s a CYA because mine was unlocked within a day of the last payment.

    I just checked and I have 6 unlocked phones on my account and never requested any of them.

  • German Shepherd shows how they can hop the fence to little dachshunds
  • This looks like a working line GSD. It’s hard to tell from the video, but I can’t see much, if any, slope on its back.

    If you want a GSD, make sure you use a reputable breeder and avoid show line dogs. Genetic screening and meeting the parents will give you some peace of mind about the health of your pup.

  • [TIL] Florida had a smaller official population than West Virginia until the 1950 census. In the 2020 census, Florida had just over 12 times the population of West Virginia.
  • 1901, designed to lower humidity in a print shop to keep the moisture from affecting the paper. Then to textile mills and other manufacturing facilities.

    I think it was installed in a residence in 1915 for the first time, then in 1931 the window unit was invented. They became available for cars in 1932, but the first factory units didn’t come out until 1939 from Packard.

    If you don’t count only powered AC, passive air conditioning methods have existed as long as we’ve been building structures. There has been a big push towards these passive cooling methods again.

  • Frostpunk 2 releases in 1 hour!
  • New one is a lot different. Instead of individual buildings, you’re building districts. I never really got into the first too much, but I played for 8 hours yesterday. If you’re into city building with politics, it’s pretty great.
