I'm sure they can be re-educated as well as any other minority... (/s but not really)

I unplugged the bassist and people went to buy the album.

Im using Firefox because fuck Google's monopoly, but Firefox seems to care little for some stuff I think is critical, namely AV codec support. Lack of out of the box support for HEVC and a few others, which my underlying OS supports perfectly, is a big turn off.

May be time to give Opera a spin

Great, as soon as you have that working we'll just make it useless in Ubuntu and rebundle everything plus their mothers in a snap

I can't follow your reasoning. If companies cannot own houses, how do you propose this shell-ownership would work? Wouldn't the owner just be free to sell the house at any time and pocket the cash for themselves?

As for tax evasion by foreigners that own real estate, I mean how is that even a problem? There's millions of foreigners that do business in the US everyday, plus, these ones have actual immovable assets that can be seized...

Sounds perfect, do it. I wanna see your income statement when you own 20 apartments.

Definitely then the issue lies with click to subscribe, and not with click to cancel.

If the customer is insufficiently informed of any penalties for cancelling, then he shouldn't have been allowed to subscribe in the first place.

You should get a prescription, it will do wonders to your humour.

Hot take: birthrate is high when it's economically profitable to have kids - helping hands all around to take care of stuff. When they're a financial burden for the rest of your life besides substantially worsening your quality of life, birthrate plummets.

For $2000? Is this comic from the 50s?

The secret here is to come up with a business case that shows management what an incredible ROI they should expect from this initiative.

Then you get to play with robots for a few months instead of actually working!

Yeah I occasionally run into that block that blames GDPR too, and it makes me wonder just what in hell they want to do with user data...

It's not hard to comply with GDPR, unless you're a shady scumbag, in which case, thanks for the warning I guess.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
