Because OP left zero context;

14 Bighead Carp from East Asia that were intentionally planted in 1992, but never properly removed were fished out of a pond.

Storage vendors are rolling their hands in delight while systems administrators, particularly backup admins are cringing at the thought.

I cannot unsee that naked body of his streaking from his studio during commercial break across the KGB hall and into the bathroom one day in the 90s lmao.

He often did radio in the nude. Man was he a truly unique character.

I only listed Opera b/c Vivaldi is based on it:

Vivaldi is absolutely a descent FOSS product, but will agree with the Opera sentiment and have edited my post more accordingly.

I only listed Opera because Vivaldi’s based on it, but that’s about where it ends. Vivaldi and FF are the only two I use tbh.

Opera, Vivaldi and Brave are descent alternatives.

EDIT:

Vivaldi (based on Opera, but FOSS and not Chinese) is still good.

I didn’t realize Brave inserted referral codes, TIL.

As per iFixit and other sites like tvserviceparts, it depends on the Vizio model. Mainstream models you can often replace the screen and even power input board, others you simply cannot without sourcing their brand though.

Example repairable model: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/VIZIO+TV+Screen+Replacement/120241

Vizio makes it 100% impossible to acquire a replacement of: buttons, bezels, control boards and input boards for intellectual property rights reasons.

In short, unlike other brands, they make it far less easy to repair either by IP restriction or by over usage of glues.

Sounds about right: Vizio the throw away brand. Horrible warranty terms, they refuse to repair them even if you offer to pay and completely unrepairable yourself.

What are we going to do tonight Pinky?

Café de Olla, try it.

It’s not consistently true, Leghorns have yellow colored ears and lay white eggs, but yes, MOST eggs can be differentiated by their “lobes”.

Yeah, we dumped Cisco for Aruba two years ago. Completely replaced the entire company core network infra. No major complaints.

On the Enterprise side of things, I was a huge VCE fan pre-Dell days. Only thing close to that now is Pure Flashstack, which isn’t bad, just pricey. I’m just not a Dell fan, Michael Dell is a fuck-whit.

Comparing my experience with Cisco B and C Class, HPE DL and Dell PE server experience over the past 20 years:

Cisco: Expensive, Good support/service during lifetime of product, excellent management tools w/o buying additional lics, reliable, but eosl/eol is short and poorly supportable after.

DELL: Just retired some 30 of their servers and storage. No regrets. Expensive, horrible support, licensing is a nightmare, but e360 and online tools were better than others. EOL/EOSL support is okay for a max of 2 yrs afterwards.

HPE: Just deployed 20 DL380G10+, Cheaper than other 2, licensing is a pita, support is meh, but InfoSight and support costs are cheap and there’s good support past eol/eosl.

I’ve done the whole white box thing like SuperMicro a number of times and while it is cheaper upfront, it’s a headache over time.

Spazzing for double points!

Then there’s California where NEM 3.0 makes it less than worth while to install or upgrade your existing solar installation.

It’s like people hate ads so much they’re willing to change browsers… gasp

Google had a revelation.
