FWIW the (not Loss) comic is from the age of Michael Jackson, not the roaring 20s.

Yeah, no. It was (/is? damn, dude's still going. Good for him.) a comedy/commentary comic mostly about gaming and basically interactions that wouldn't be out of place in a Clarks movie. This was a standalone just a week or so before Loss.

Que super serious miscarriage storyline for "art" reasons.

Yeah at least with their parts lists the material cost is ~$134. So even the places selling kits for $150 are offering a pretty good deal for putting it all in a box for you. ( I assume they're able to make some savings buying in bulk but still)

The Country is not the Continent.

Sure, the singular cultural/political/religious "those people".

What are you talking about?

This is not about streaming to a laptop or Internet access. This is about a long range, low power, low bandwidth network using 2.4GHz. It's using 2.4GHz, like everyone else likes to, because it's the "free" signal band that you don't have to pay to license. It's for sending the message "Sprinkler head 1039A is leaking" from a solar panel powered transmitter without having to run a data cable or network repeaters.

It's competition for Zigbee/Z-Wave/Matter. Not the herald of the ISP crackdown Armageddon.

Geostorm. Fun enough throwaway Gerard Butler movie.

It's definitely exploded but content farms were a problem even before 2022. There's a reason google results starting with "reddit" / "stack overflow" were trending so hard.

Even with amazing documentation, it can be hard to find the thing you're looking for if you don't know the right phrasing or terminology yet. It's easily the most usable thing I've seen come out of "AI", which makes sense. Using a Language Model to parse language is a very literal application.

Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

For a job that requires a lot of reminding people "that's not your laptop, that's the companies' laptop", a lot of people get awful invested in "their servers". Just let it go.

I know their business decision, however misguided, was very personal. Prove their mistake, which they will never know or care about, by moving on to the next job. Not by trying to be the sub-villain in a B-movie.

That feels like a very... hopeful interpretation. Instead of "In my expert opinion there is no non-malicious use of this component, and SysadminX was the only one with possible access."

Intent is not always necessary, it depends on the charges.

Computer Forensics isn't a new discipline at this point. People have literally gone to jail for putting in kill switches. It's possible SysadminX is actually smarter than teams of people that are dissecting what happened after they were fired and is a real life Keyser Soze, but it's extremely unlikely.
