We could keep the 0 hour as the “middle” of the night and 12 being the “middle” of the day (though I’m not sure if that’s really the sun’s high spot for the day for any places).

But with fully controlled mirrors, we could make it exactly 12 hours, so we could just then switch to the 0 hour being when the sun comes up.

It’s pretty simple, actually. A village somewhere in Europe that is completely in the shade all day for part of the year has already proven it.

Mirrors.

We just need a ring of motorized mirrors around the Earth.

At hour 0, the mirrors will rotate to show sun all across the entire Earth.

At hour 12, the mirrors will rotate to put all of the Earth into night time.

That lets the entire Earth have the exact same synchronized time synchronized with the daylight.

The mirrors will block the sun from parts of the earth facing during the night.

The mirrors will constantly be rotating to keep the proper amount of sun light facing each part of Earth as the Earth rotates.

The mirrors will be solar powered.

This will fix it, right?

It’s worked for Windows?

Open your computer and reseat any cables and components that you can.

Maybe even do a memory test with something like MemTest86(?).

Random electric noise and disconnects could cause random corruption issues like this.

I’m only enough to remember when corporations were not people, and when the ultra wealthy paid taxes.

I paid for a keyboard, I’m going to use a keyboard!

Fuck Putin.

Does your current laptop have a dedicated graphics card?

Can you try a USB to HDMI adapter? I don’t recall how they work with a dedicated card. Haven’t used one since Intel i7 gen 2 days, so my reference points are no longer relevant.

I am not talking about jank yolo prayer work. I’m talking about people learning how to do something properly. Duct tape a car is not the repair I’m talking about.

You are complaining about there not being enough skilled workers today. I’m talking about people learning the skills over time.

Look at how many types of food and products are starting to promote cleaner ingredients and more sustainable materials as people are starting to learn more about their health and the environment. People can learn and thing can get better.

I’m not saying that today everyone should push a button and start self hosting. I’m saying it would be great if more people learn to self host and that there are benefits to people learning more.

People don’t just absorb knowledge. It will require education programs.

Did you know how to do everything before you started?

More self hosting would improve the “average” person baseline.

Education of people is always(?) better, I’d say.

It’s good to exercise the mind, just like exercising the body.

What if 25% of car drivers could handle their own car maintenance? The one downside people will scream at first is that fewer mechanics will be needed.

But that is too short sided.

More home mechanics will need to buy more tools, so that’s more store jobs and more manufacturing jobs and more shipping/trucking jobs.

And more people who understand mechanics mean a better workforce who can invent new/better products or processes. And can do more research into manufacturing science, which would improve society.

This would also lead to safer cars because they are better roadworthy, and car manufacturers would have a harder time using low quality parts.

So all of those changes would apply to technology when more people know how to use technology.

You are a true friend.

The red circles convinced me to enlarge the picture to read it.

That’s when you know you’ve won!

The new game will be to see how fast you can get OpenAI to compare something to Hitler.

So many answers will be a poop knife or put a sock on it.

Not even an apology. They’ll spend money smearing the FTC leader. And call it a witch hunt. And publicize all the people who will lose their jobs if the company has to pay these fines.

And they are hedging their bets that Trump becomes president and the FTC gets gutted, so there won’t be any fines anyway.

These days companies see fines as just a little fee for doing business.

We’ve seen fines for other companies.

Worst case, they have to.pay, what. 10% of their earnings back as fines? That’s still definitely worth it to them.
