I’m really surprised by the lack of open-source OS choices.

I’m just going to keep buying refurbished iPhone SEs until that becomes impractical. Then I’ll see what the market is like.

    Whomever allowed that robot outside is to blame. If they have grievances, they can sue whomever wrote the software or built the device. Keep sending the buck up until it reaches the top.

    For a while, I worked at the Galleria Mall in Houston, Texas. Those service hallways went on forever, and never in a straight line for more than a couple hundred meters. It felt like an arena-style video game.

    Why does the old person still have access? First of all, change the credentials. ‘cause it sounds like the nonprofit has no concept of cyber security.

    It sounds like the old person fell off the map, they let him go, and now he’s trying to keep his position, all the while still failing to communicate with anyone properly.

    You need to be the communication they lack and ask them to make a choice. If they say something like “well, he still wanted to work and we couldn’t say no.” just walk away.

    "The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity." - Doctor Miranda Jones

    The Enterprise is ordered to transport the Medusan Ambassador Kolios to his homeworld. Traveling with him are Doctor Miranda Jones, a human telepath that was selected to join minds with Kilios and Larry Marvick, one of the designers of the Enterprise's engines. Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and Doctor McCoy join the two for dinner to discuss their mission and accomplishments when Jones suddenly senses the desire to murder coming from someone. When she returns to her quarters, Marvick follows her and confesses his love to her, pleading that she not go with Kolios to the Medusan homeworld. She lets him down as gently as she can, but he becomes enraged and attempts to assassinate Ambassador Kolios. Failing to do so, he retreats to Engineering where he momentarily commandeers the ship and sends it through the galactic barrier at high warp. In a void outside of the galaxy with no bearings to find their way back, Spock proposes a risky plan to mind meld with Kolios, an expert at astrological navigation, so that his being can take control of Spock's body to return the Enterprise to known space.
