Macs can actually be really good linux computers. It's not always straightforward, but I've heard good things once it's installed.

Put linux mint on my roomate's yoga laptop. There was about 3 days intermittently peppered with questions that were easy to answer, and there hasn't been anything since. Probably the smoothest transition I've seen so far.

I'm not following the VLC example too well. Is France demanding the donations to VLC as revenue, thus hamstringing non-profit opensource software projects? That would seem like poor legislative design. I'd assume we'd want non-profit software development to continue as a practice, and that new tax as implied would potentially require a for-profit model for Opensource software's survival on the web. Am I reading that wrong?

I think it finally sank in that every time a woman was going on screen, it was a deliberate choice. The suspension of disbelief just stopped being doable for a lot of us, and now the question 'was this actor coerced into this nude scene' is always coming to mind. And we know that for a lot of them, saying no to a nude scene early on is potentially a career-slower, so saying may not even feel like an option for them.

That's at least why I've somewhatsoured on vapid nudity in films.

Its probably mostly because he's in his 50s and does a desk job for a career.

As a techy person who's not plugged into API/Services BS, this is what most of this sounds like to me.

Literally did the same thing in my notebook this morning. I helped sell in to myself by adding the pumpkin crease lines. It helped a bit.

Not sure why this jab is being made when it's not scientists who have issue with different perspectives. Paleontologists, Anthropologists, historians, and many other fields are filled with scholars which follow the scientific method to study nothing being other cultures, and the vast majority of scientific fields are rooms full of highly specialized experts arguing different perspectives and trying figure out which are accurate. Entire fields are created out of new perspectives on a subject being found.

Scientists do not like astrologists, psychics, and mediums, because they lie to people for money. It's fine if they're not taken too seriously, but these three groups have bankrupted grieving family members and often sent people down terrible life paths in the past. They do not deserve being sheltered from being the butt of a Farside joke.

Could someone give a description of what a brat is? I thought I understood at first but the more of these memes I see, the less I think I actually understand.

I am working identifying a problem in a VFD for a friend's belt grinder, and I've ID'd the other ICs on but, but I wasn't able to ID this last 8-pin one. I know it's made by Microchip, but couldn't pull anything up from the codes on the front.

It's possible this is an encryption key chip with some obfuscated info on the front. However, I don't know how common that actually is.

Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE: Looks like this one's solved. I went back and double-checked the code, and it looks like y'all were correct on it being '4A08I' and not '4A081'. This chip is also the closest IC to the MCU which lines up perfectly with this being an EEPROM.

I appreciate everyone's input and help with this!
