You can’t just mix and match battery chemistry and call one superior. If you could, they’d all be inferior to a nuclear reactor in the right packaging anyway. But since you absolutely have to be pedantic about it, I’ll make this revision specially for you with emphasis in the right place:

Primary cells hold much more charge than an equivalent rechargeable battery with the same battery chemistry.

And you can’t just allow for different voltage ranges without all the electronics also being adjusted for that.

No. Primary cells are easy and cheap to manufacture, and hold much more charge than rechargeable equivalents.

And so much of everyday tech is already built around the form factor and voltage. You cannot change one without also changing the other. While I’m sure some battery sizes will go away with time, as some already have (Type B, anyone?), I’m willing to bet AA batteries will still be around in some form 100 years from now. Internals might change a little, and capacity might increase, but we’re still going to see 1.5V packed into those dimensions.

Those first four words caused me to mentally rap this to the Fresh Prince theme.

The white one. I drank a lot of that ages ago, and I have some specific sounds, smells, and other senses associated with it. I’m sure if I tasted it, a lot of specific memories would immediately trigger.

I wouldn’t, as managed switching is only a small subset of the managerial tasks I attend. I don’t manage individual switches as much as I manage production systems where managed switch management is only a minor component.

On that note, we actually use hubs in one particular place in these systems, and since I manage their installation and asset tracking, does this make them managed Ethernet hubs?

Probably belongs in unpopularopinion, but: Chicken is a waste of spices an herbs.
“But you gotta season it, man!!”
I know. Put the same seasoning on any other meat, and it’ll immediately be a better dish.
Anything you can do with chicken can be done better with pork.

Ok, maybe not wings if you wanna be pedantic about it.

Unmanaged switches don’t care about VLAN tags, spanning trees, management interfaces, or LACP.

Managed switches care about at least some of those features and therefore will have a management interface to configure them, as well as firmware supporting them.

A dumb/unmanaged switch will look up the MAC address of the intended recipient and map that to a port before forwarding a packet to a particular port. A managed switch might do a lot more.

If you don’t need a managed switch, don’t buy one. If you’re OK with everything on one port being able to communicate with anything on another port, and connectivity is your only concern, you’re probably going to be fine with an unmanaged switch.

Source: I manage (amongst other things) managed switches for a living.

So there’s this chorus of unheard voices calling up into the void “is anyone there? We’re over here. Hello? Anyone?”

My impression of the internet for the past 20 years.

Both are fair points. In the latter case I think OPs of such post should, as a courtesy, add a note that they intend to delete.

I find people deleting their post after a few answers have been provided to be a problem here on asklemmy. As a mod I sometimes serve a relatively short ban when this happens for no real reason. While it isn’t explicitly against the rules, I find it very much to be against the spirit of the board, and it’s really not fair to the ones who took their time to write a response nobody will ever read.

I was on deck when lightning struck the MF/HF antenna. The backdeck was very low compared to most other things, so there was never any danger.

“Hey, Mike, you might wanna report that to the bridge” I asked of my coworker who had the radio.

The universe is so vast that it is statistically unlikely that this planet is the only inhabited one. But therein lies the problem: The vastness makes it impossible for us to confirm anything or even observe traces of hints.

We are alone in the universe. And the aliens, they are alone too.

Me whenever I had to visit corporate.

Background: I’m field service personnel. I’m either at home, or I’m in some corner of the world, jury rigging hardware and voiding warranties to ensure everything works until the end of the project. But once in a while I have to visit the head office. And once in a while I have to attend a meeting with someone on the penguin-floor. I stand out like a pink elephant in a snowy field.

A coworker of mine who dealt with the “normal” IT stuff commented that it was always funny receiving hardware from us in the field, because it was opposite of what he got from people in the office; They could receive a work laptop that was shiny and sparkly on the outside, looking almost new until you opened it up:
Screen was dirty, and keyboard was full of makeup-residue and other gunk.
And then there was my laptop that needed a replacement: The finish on every corner was worn down, it had physical bits missing from the trim, paint had stripped in a spot due to a chemical spill, and there was a stain from actual lubrication grease. But open it up, and it was pristine.

EDIT: Come to think of it, the ethernet port was physically missing. The solder pads of the RJ45 port had loosened after too much abuse.

Next time you see him live on TV, or you read something he just wrote, remember this: That’s him at his best. And he’s never going to be that good again.

Because he’s noticeably demented, and it’s progressing. He may have good days, and he may have bad days, but what those two types of days have in common is that they’re only going to get worse.

He’s already rambling, and sometimes incoherently at that. But the stew he has between his ears will keep degrading to the point where coherence will be a vague memory from his campaign trail.

Now, that’s the good news.

The bad news? Stephen Fucking Miller is the de-facto president until 2029 because we all know the couch fucker is too chicken shit to invoke the 25th.

While Wojtek serving in the Polish army during the invasion of Italy is true, a lot of his exploits are exaggerated. I still love it though.

Him helping out is confirmed, and if I remember correctly, the story of him carrying artillery shells is among the confirmed ones. And yes, he did in fact drink beer. But no, he didn’t smoke cigarettes, on the account of being a bear. He ate them, though.

Looks like red chalk wrapped in paper. I remember having those in school around the end of the previous millenium - The paper prevents your fingers from being stained.

Stupid indeed, but of utmost importance.

Metallica - …and justice for all
But not in a good way.

Hej, söta bror. I think you meant to post a reply to OP and not me.
