5·21 days agoI thought that it became MANGA when it changed from FAANG?
It explains that it means “fan failure”.
And there was a link to a video of it happening.
The only other link to an MS support page did not work.
But you’re not allowed to proceed in life until you’ve pressed any key!
I remember an obscure one named “grommit” that was a dancing animated character and you’d click it to change arm and leg movements.
Bonzi buddy was over of the bad ones, maybe?
Drain.exe would say “water in drive a:, commencing spin cycle” then power up the drive and make a gurgling sound.
Sheep.exe … would create a sheep that would wander the desktop.
When I read it, it stirred a distant memory of hearing such a story before, so I knew that there was something behind it and looked it up.
You could just about play speech using one bit output using pulse-width-modulation. But it was almost unrecognizable. And would take a lot of memory for the time.
It was usual to have different numbers of beeps for POST errors.
But this was an age when a PC would say “Keyboard error. Press any key to continue”, so things were not thought out that well.
That probably wasn’t a virus.
Superbowl reminds me of the SDF Fox News

What’s needed is an online 2fa service that just takes a username and copies the code to the clipboard.
/s before I get any replies.
The distinction that I’m concerned about is that this isn’t a charge from the repair company, it’s a fee decided by the rental company. Unrelated to the cost of the repair.
It wasn’t an invented example, the figures I gave are what they tell me they will bill me for any repair that’s needed.
So thank you for clarifying, but I don’t think that I’m musunderstanding what an excess is. I’m just wondering if the excess protection would still cover these arbitrary charges from the _rental company.
I know that it is to cover the excess of damage costs.
I’m asking if they would only pay “reasonable” repair costs if the rental company charges me 1 or 2 thousand for just a large scratch, for instance, which is what Enterprise tell me that they do. (It’s usually £1000 but was £2000 when I had a larger vehicle).
When I rent in the UK they always tell my that each incident will incur a fixed penalty (e.g. large scratch: £1000, damaged windscreen: £1000) presumably to cover loss of earnings on the vehicle, but also to pressure me into purchasing excess protection.
So I wonder if having the extra insurance would cover these “fine” types of charges that are beyond the cost of repair.
Physical? As in a medical exam with a doctor?
If so you should really have a check up with an eye doctor, there are lots of eye health tests that you should regularly get beyond checking that you can read a chart at a distance.
My Bluetooth is always on too. I’m talking about choosing the earbuds to connect to.
They’d probably auto connect if I only ever used them with my phone, but since I use them with more then ones device, I need to keep selecting them on whatever I’m using.
Android 14 is drag down twice, hold finger on Bluetooth button, select from list.
IOS on iPad is drag down from top right, hold finger on network buttons, hold finger on Bluetooth button, select from list.
Windows 11 is just 3 taps.
Do you mean that you have a button on the front screen that connects specifically to one Bluetooth device, or do you get a popup when your headphones are on?
I like to have spare earbuds just lying around, e.g. some in the car glovebox. With wireless earbuds, even if a buy multiple sets, they would need charging.
And plugging in is far fewer steps then finding the BT connection option is I’m not just using them with one device.
USB C earbuds are a partial fix, but i have sometimes wanted to be charging my phone.
You can use it as a webcam if you suddenly need to work from home and there’s a shortage of webcams.
Originally I had to install an app for that, but it shows up as a standard USB option on my Pixel now.
