Thanks...
  • I recently placed an order with Dell, but kept getting messages that they couldn't process it. After spending five hours on the phone with multiple customer support people, they finally told me it was because my billing address was different than my shipping address, and that I wasn't allowed to do that.

  • What's also scary is how irresponsible people are being with this technology.

    I had someone tell me they routinely take naps on their drive into work using lane assist and adaptive cruise control! I started laughing but they didn't laugh back...

    People of Lemmy who have either "reinvented themselves" or gone through a mid/quarter-life crisis, where did you start off and where did you end up?
  • Navy recently raised their enlistment age cap to 42. They're currently the only service to do so, that I know of.

    Edit: As far as I know, the enlistment age cap for most other services is 39, and the officer candidacy age cap is 35. There's variations and waivers though, depending on your situation.

    Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?
  • I learned on Reddit not to trust any world news or political news posts. I was tricked a couple of times by fake posts. I still browse the posts, but I take everything I read with a grain of salt.

    I use news apps for my news.

    You could say I am a bit of a copy/paste expert..
  • I realize my post sounds like I'm against students typing out commands, but I'm not. I'm against them mindlessly typing out commands they find on the internet without taking time to understand what the commands actually do. I encourage them to be intentional with their commands and really understand them.

  • You know, my students do this. It's freaking hilarious when they inevitably have a typo and get an error. I chuckle every time. 😄

    Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
  • I love Keepass(XC). I've used it for years.

    You do have to host the files yourself, which requires an extra step beyond just handing your password over to Lastpass for future leaking, but I consider that a good thing.
