10yo me realized that other sized batteries that were also 1.5v could be used as well if I had enough tape and aluminum foil, so then all the flashlight D batteries around the house started to go missing as well.

It's not even VESA. DOS just uses the VGA 80x25 character terminal mode that all x86 computers still have to start in for backwards compatibility, where "video memory" is mapped to 0xb800 in the 1MB real mode address space. Software you run can then change the video mode, such as to a VESA mode if supported, or for ultra nostalgia, "screen mode 13" (320x200 256-color mode).

I've heard that some people end up using food as a substitute.

I'm a long-time Samba fan, but even I wouldn't run them as DCs in a production environment.

Yeah, the CAN-SPAM act, as far as I understand it, doesn't allow them to force you to make an account just to unsubscribe.

The FAA might have something to say about it.

We still use on-prem Exchange with Microsoft Office at work, and it's really becoming a problem. Microsoft already auto adds shortcuts for 365 (which we don't use and doesn't work with our setup), and the "Mail" app (which also doesn't work with out setup), and now I have to explain to people to use the regularly titled Outlook icon and not the "Outlook (new)" icon (which again, won't work with our setup).

See, this is the problem. You either risk getting a ticket by keeping up with the 15mph+ people in the left, or you deal with grandma and grandpa doing 10mph under on the right. So a lot of us end up having to leapfrog back and forth. I just want to maintain my socially and legally acceptable 4mph over.

I agree. I've found that a lot of the subjects I hated in school, I ended up finding an interest in later in life on my own. I now think it had a lot more to do with the method of teaching than the material itself.

You mean we'd be in control of the means of production? That's an interesting idea. We should come up with a recognizable symbol for this new concept. Something simple, like two silhouettes of tools, maybe crossed.

That only allows DNS-based blocking of domains, which isn't going to be nearly as effective. A lot of modern ads are served up from the same domain that you're visiting. Browser-based ad-blocker extensions are in a position to block domains, URLs, and specific parts of the HTML DOM itself. This is going to sound rude, and I'm sorry in advance, but when people bring up pi hole, I assume they aren't very knowledgeable about how things work.
