Something I've noticed with institutional education is that they're not looking for the factually correct answer, they're looking for the answer that matches whatever you were told in class. Those two things should not be different, but in my experience, they're not always the same thing.
I have no idea if this is a factor here, but it's something I've noticed. I have actually answered questions with a factually wrong answer, because that's what was taught, just to get the marks.
What if this lifetime is also a dream.
Like inception.
Apparently that person wants to be unemployed.
As far as I'm concerned, this can still happen. The date might even be right, but the year certainly isn't.
IMO, DS9's creators just gave us more credit than we deserved about the technological progress we would make between when the episode aired and when the bell riots were supposed to start.
It's been a while since I watched the episode, but if I recall correctly, they had technology in the episode that we do not currently have.
I'm still convinced this is pretty much inevitable given the current state of the world, it's only a question of when.
I find that regardless of bank, if you talk to a teller, you need to have an account with the bank you are physically in.
There's very little they can do for you without it.
I've had banks I don't have an account with occasionally replace a damaged dollar bill of some value or another, or do some limited currency conversion, eg, getting a roll of quarters or something, in exchange for the cash I have on hand... Beyond that, they basically tell you to leave.
I would counter that with: "if you'd give me a debit card that worked, I wouldn't have to"
I'm pretty sure the joke is that she was inside the bank, likely talking to... A teller, asking about an automated teller machine.
Just talk to the people inside and ask them to help you. It's literally their job.
The closest thing to a thin and light that I own is my framework.
I felt like anything less than what framework offers for repairability wouldn't be sufficient for me.
There's actually an argument that makes the point of driving prices down with soldered RAM.
The individual memory chips and constituent components are cheaper than they would be for the same in a DIMM. We're talking about a very small difference, and bluntly, OEMs are going to mark it up significantly enough that the end consumer won't see a reduction for this (but OEMs will see additional profits).
So by making it into unupgradable ewaste, they make an extra buck or two per unit, with the added benefit of our being unupgradable ewaste, so you throw it out and buy a whole new system sooner.
This harkens back to my rant on thin and light phones, where the main point is that they're racing to the bottom. Same thing here. For thin and light mobile systems, soldered RAM still saves precious space and weight, allowing for it to be thinner and lighter (again, by a very small margin)... That's the only market segment I kind of understand the practice. For everything else, DIMMs (or the upcoming LPCAMM2).... IMO, I'd rather sacrifice any speed benefit to have the ability to upgrade the RAM.
The one that ticks me off is the underpowered thin/lights that are basically unusable ewaste because they have the equivalent of a Celeron, and barely enough RAM to run the OS they're designed for. Everything is soldered, and they're cheap, so people on a tight budget are screwed into buying them. This is actually a big reason why I'm hoping that the windows-on-ARM thing takes off a bit, because those systems would be far more useful than the budget x86 chips we've seen, and far less expensive than anything from Intel or AMD that's designed for mobile use. People on a tight budget can get a cheap system that's actually not ewaste.
Remember you absolutely must not go to these specific sites.
Do not do it.
See you all tomorrow for class.
But how else is he going to pay for his yacht.... I mean, pay to feed his children.... Yeah, that's relatable with millennials and zoomers that are so far in debt and earning so little that they can't afford kids, right?
Who dreams this up?
Nobody. Nobody dreamt it up. They are just remembering the hard reality of the early 90's and the before times.
You know, before everyone was connected and online 24/7/365. Before "online" meant anything.
When you left your 9-5 job, drove home listening to the radio, because you didn't have anything else to listen to, and got home to dinner on the table because you didn't need your spouse to work for a living to make ends meet, in your home that you were able to purchase, and food that wasn't largely artificial.
The phone would ring during dinner, and it would just keep ringing, because you're spending time eating with your family. There was no answering machine, so it would just ring and ring.
And if nobody ever answered it, they couldn't tell you to get back to the office because some emergency happened.
Maybe you went to the park, maybe you were out to dinner with the Mrs... Maybe you just didn't care enough to pick up the phone. Anything could have happened.
Unlike today, where we're bombarded by marketing and notifications constantly. All of which are demanding that you address them ASAP. Everything is an emergency, so put down your "three ingredients away from plastic" dinner, and pick up your master, and obey.
I am all out of bubble gum.
