Are you sure you don’t want to argue about it more? You really have a lot of “I want to argue about it” energy.

… To grab someone with?

It makes it easier to clean. This is why I also had my child’s ears surgically removed and their nose widened so I can get a scrub brush up in there.

Seems unlikely, it would have to be a really botched tip snip to get the balls.

Nothing wrong with liking circumcised dicks, but I think we can all agree that chopping off part of a child’s genitals for any reason beyond a medical necessity without any input from the child is inherently wrong.

Take it one step further, and invent an entirely new set of genitals just to piss them off!

I’m kinda just tired of this conversation

Is that why you came in here and wrote two paragraphs only just barely tangentially related to the article?

Not really. Most computers are sold off a shelf at a big box store, pre-configured and ready to go. The license for windows is flashed onto the hardware, so the staff doesn’t really have a way to remove it from the computer.

Hah, you think it’s 15.99 a month…

I don’t think there is a way I can prevent sending any money to someone in Texas, they have ports, they do a lot of oil refinement. I’m trying not to spend any money in Texas. They have a significant tourism economy, and I dislike the idea of giving tourism money to a state that is famously bigoted, anti-woman, and pro-christofascist.

I have to go to Texas to complete a bucket list of mine (Visit all the national parks in the US) and I’m trying to figure out how I can do it without spending any money there… Pack in my own fuel, food, supplies, stay at free campgrounds or on public land. I don’t want to spend a cent in Texas when I go.

This is wild to hear? What year(s) are we talking on these Asus laptops? Everything Asus I’ve bought has been rock solid, and I go out of my way to get their hardware. I haven’t really bought any new systems or components in about 5 years though…

Doesn’t really happen until middle school here. I had a Health class in 5th grade that was basically like “your body is going to change, please take showers every day, and use this stuff called deodorant.”

Actual sex-ed wasn’t until 7th grade, and even then, it was basically “Boys, here is all the horrible stuff that will happen to your dick if you get an STD. Girls, the urge to have sex will turn you into worthless husks, also, here’s some horrible shit that can happen to your pussy.”

Your character would get caught. Mainly because electronics boards are absolutely covered in parts made from all over the world. Each one of those parts is batch numbered, if not labeled with a serial number. If your main character wasn’t caught from being the only person with a purchase history that matches the equipment used, they would certainly be caught using forensic analysis of the identifying marks on the devices.

Your character’s best bet is to realize that the point of sabotage is not to destroy a resource, (complete destruction is a bonus), but to make the opponent either realize that they would need to commit more effort to protect that resource than it is worth, or get your opponent to commit that effort, wasting their time and resources.

Real life example : Ukraine blew up part of a useful bridge in Crimea with a truck bomb. The bridge has been restored to working order, but now Russia has to check every single truck that goes over the bridge very thoroughly. They’ve limited the maximum size of the trucks as well. The total flow of material over that bridge had been choked, and Russia is doing all the work to choke out their own asset, and they will need to continue to do this for the rest of the conflict, or the bridge will get blown up again.

So, back to your fictional character… He doesn’t need to devise a sophisticated attack to destroy all the cameras, he just needs to be part of an ongoing uncoordinated campaign of random attacks. Either the camera owners step up hardening their devices, which increases the cost and decreases the number they can deploy, and their usefulness, or, the government entities that use the cameras will need to deploy more police presence to protect the cameras, invalidating the benefit of having the cameras anyway.

Mobile broadband. I promise you, if you go around jamming cell towers, you’re going to get the feds on your ass real quick.

The residents need to work on an election that exempts anyone who doesn’t come out against this bill from being in the government.

Well, considering it’s damn near 100% of the environment, I’d say anyone who doesn’t work with Windows isn’t really an IT admin.

I’ve been looking for jobs to get started in Linux administration, and I gotta tell you, the handful of times I see it mentioned is as a single line in the footer of the job posting.

Pay for it twice actually, Microsoft charges you to install that spyware on your computer as well.

I could be wrong, but I think that was what the convention was in the US at least.

Similar to how there is nothing “stopping” a web server from having a 192.168.x.x address, but we have a standard that blocks off those addresses to be used inside of your own network.

It’s been a while since I’ve had to do a game system setup on an old TV, (like damn near 20 years) but I think you used channel 3 because it was a channel reserved for local communications, so there would never be “TV” on that channel. Your VCR connected to the TV with a coax cable, and if you wanted to have “TV” plugged in at the same time, you either needed a TV with multiple coax inputs (I think it was common to have 2, one for VCR, and one for satellite/aerial antenna) or a coax splitter. Early on, those RCA plugs weren’t built into a lot of TVs, so you needed the VCR to inject that signal onto coax for the TV. Lots (if not most/all) VCRs would let you switch the channel used in the settings, I think mainly to cover other regions where channel 3 was not standardized.
