A tip for today:
It helps if you imagine autocorrect as a tiny little elf in your phone who is trying so hard to be helpful but is in fact quite drunk.
Also, he doesn’t know Spanish.
Elves, being for the most part Irish, do not feel the need to learn any other language..
That’s not very sporting: people who speak Spanish are sometimes drunk, too.
I’m picturing a Spaniard and an Irish Elf who can only successfully communicate when they are both drunk.
I wonder if that is why my smortphome keyboard sometimes switches to the Spanish keyboard setting. Makes for some interesting texts.. ;-)
Hmm..
Maybe someone will write a story.. ;-)
Alcohol facilitates all sorts of social interactions.
O’Shaughnessy went into a local pub on the Upper East Side and asked for 3 pints of Guinness.
The next day he did the same.
And the next.
The bartender, also being an immigrant, struck up a conversation and eventually asked, “So, why do you come in here every day and order 3 pints?”
O’Shaughnessy said, “It’s for me tree brudders left back in the old country. When I left, we agreed that we’d share a pint every evening so we wouldn’t forget each other.”
“Ach, but that’s a fine tradition,” agreed the bartender.
And so it went.
But one day, O’Shaughnessy came in and only ordered two pints.
And again, the next day.
And the day after.
The bartender was a sensitive soul and didn’t want to create any pain for O’Shaughnessy but he was concerned. Finally he asked. “What’s wrong, O’Shaughnessy. For the past week or so ye’ve only been ordering two pints o’ the stout. I hope dere’s nuttin’ wrong with one o ye brudders.”
“Och, no.” O’Shaughnessy replied. “It’s nuttin’ like dat. It’s mine I haven’t been orderin’. Ye see, me doctor told me I had to give up drinkin’”
I don’t have a Huawei laptop. Or anything from them that I am aware of..
Just linked so you could read it.
Interesting that vendor plug ins can be subverted like that.
Bet there are others.
Sort of like Asimov’s Azazel?
He’s also a bit of a moody A-hole too, judging from what he does to my typing.
Communist conspiracy: China and Russia are working hard to steal America’s secrets, weaken her militarily and economically, and that explains why the vendor plug in are subverted. Don’t listen to anyone who says either country is benign. Both are building their military strength.
:sitting down and shutting up, now:
PS: Three words: New World Order. Soros’ pet project.
Scary thought: foreign actors discovered purposeful holes in vendor plugins and made their own version.
Companies that have had government contracts would be under suspicion.
If I had the ability, skill, and the tools I’d sandbox a machine and take some pokes at various drivers to see what happens.
Like: video driver.
Most video card makers have had a contract with the government at some point.
Lots if incentive for shenanigans there.
Well, that’s an encouraging thought.
Morning Floof says he wants food or he’ll get RAWR with everybody!!
Good morning. The shower has been had and next on the list is the morning steroid and making the bed, and not necessarily in that order.
At the moment, I don’t feel like getting the x-rays, but I don’t know how long the order is good for. And as for that sick whatever-it-was I had, that was CFIDS at its worst. Nothing else. No cold, no flu, just CFIDS.
