Ps5s are about $500 still iirc.

You can totally get a used hi-point for less than that. Shit you can get a brand new one for less than $500. Police trade-in glocks go for about $400-$450.

They're not nice guns, but they definitely work. I think this buyback program may very quickly run out of money, and if anything it encourages people to buy guns they otherwise wouldn't have just to trade them in.

Both kinda already exist.

Easier to control for variables with airplanes. It seems like a simpler (still hells difficult, but simpler) problem to solve, so them first I'd guess

Sure, as long as the VPN itself is secure. Strong passwords/keys, etc. A VPN itself can be a potential security risk, as if it's compromised an attacker can tunnel traffic directly into a network straight past a firewall.

The risks can definitely be mitigated, but if someone's asking for an ELI5 on KVMs, then it may be best to stay away until they have a better understanding of IT infrastructure altogether.

ELI5:

It lets you remotely control a computer.

It's different (arguably better) than remote connection software because it is a separate device that basically just forwards your keyboard & mouse inputs. This means that you can control the remote device even if it's powered off or not able to boot properly, and you can configure the BIOS remotely too.

You could call someone on-site to connect the KVM to a server, but KVMs, while expensive by regular person standards, are pretty cheap as enterprise hardware goes. So some organizations just keep separate KVMs plugged into all critical hardware all the time.

Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite high security risk.

Their website is probably light on details because "KVM" is fairly common industry parlance. If you normally work with this stuff then just hearing those 3 letters tells you most of what you need to know.

Edit: high, not Hugh

Well, GA is employment at will so, unless there's some special law for judges I don't know about, I'm guessing the 'rejection' is more symbolic than anything. My best guess is that he was about to be fired anyway and Kemp didn't want him to get away with acting like it was on his own terms. It would be good to hear a lawyer's take on it, though.

There's a scene in evangelion where the mc jerks it over an unconscious asuka (the character on the video card in the background) and nuts all over his hand.

He covered his hand in thermal paste as a reference.

It's a (intentionally) creepy scene and extremely off-color for a repair tech to send this to a customer, IMO. Good thing it's probably fake.

Can they sue crunch fitness next?

If you watch the clip he's only caught off-guard that the audience didn't even wait for a punchline; he clearly isn't totally surprised that people support him at all

We've got 2

Biden is, once again, considering doing something. He won't, but he's thinking about it, and really isn't it the thought that counts?

Correctly identifying a problem while doing nothing that could possibly change it.

That's Joe's legacy, I guess

Depends on the leftist, but generally I think hoarding land you're not personally using, especially during a housing crisis, is wrong.

I also think that charging rent from people to simply exist in a place you aren't using anyway is wrong. When she pays the mortgage she's buying equity, when they pay the rent they're buying jack shit. It's an enormous parasitic drain on the economy.

But I don't think she's, like, evil. Not the same way that major landlord companies are. And I understand the motivations. I still disagree with the methods, but until the great commie revolution/rapture (/s) comes we all have to engage with problematic capitalist systems to a greater or lesser extent.
