  • Two things to note.

    1:> This happens at the same time the Carrier Strike Group of the world's "most lethal combat platform" is pulled out of the European theater to play drug cop in the Caribbean.

    2:> This...

  • I can't help but wonder if that "anonymous donation" has anything to with with the world's "most lethal combat platform", along with it's strike group, being ordered from Europe to the Caribbean to play drug cop as Russia Putin steps up their his attacks against Ukraine...

  • Convenient how this happens at the same time the trump pulls the Navy's "most lethal combat platform", the USS Gerald R. Ford, out of Europe to go play drug cop in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, Russian attacks against Ukraine escalate. Kinda makes one curious about where this $130 million is coming from. At least we know that the government will be funded, somehow, even if Congress itself stays shut down "indefinitely"...

  • offer refugee status to Europeans who oppose migration

    Wouldn't a "refugee" who "opposes migration" be called a "hypocrite"?

  • ISPs’ complaint[ed] that listing every fee they created would be too difficult.

    Here. If it means that fees become transparent and my rates go down, let me submit some free pseudo code into the public domain.

     
            class User {
          Charge[] charges;
          addCharge(Charge inData)
        
          listCharges() {
            foreach c in charges {
              print c.desc + ": " + c.amt
            }
          }  
      
          listChargeDescs() {
            foreach c in charges {
              print c.desc
            }
          }
        }  
      
        class Transaction {
          const String desc;
          const int amt;  // Transaction amount in millicent accounting units`  
        }
      
        class TOS {
          listUserFees(User inUser) {
            print inUser.listChargeDescs();
          }
        }
    
    
      

    Now, it has been a quarter of a century since I got my BS in Telecommunications Management from DeVry University (a degree which only became useful to me after I got my job as a casino slot technician), and I only code at a hobbyist level, but if this code I wrote in about 5 minutes can completely revolutionize ISP billing and help them with transparency, you're welcome.

    Though somehow, I'm guessing that this is a solution to a problem that they know they have, but willfully refuse to solve...

  • Fuck, and here I thought AGS progressive controllers were bad. Remote desktop into the controller using a commonly known username and password to get a "salt", "hash code", "iterations", "password length", and "server name". Enter all that onto a website that has to be logged in to, all to get a generated password which is used to remote desktop desktop into the same progressive controller under a different account. Password changes every 24 hours. Oh, and did I mention that this is typically done on an active casino floor? Good times.

  • That was all Neo-Zionist propaganda.

  • You just gave me an idea. If my work as a casino slot machine technician gets me killed, I'm haunting the casino and making every guest on the floor the luckiest gambler on earth.

  • Games played, bet amounts, coin in/out (win/los statements), time on machine, god knows what else. Have you ever joined a "players club" at a casino where you insert a card into the machine you're playing and get rewarded things like Free play? That's player tracking in action.

  • And here I always thought it was 1001 + 0111 = 10000.

  • If you look at the point where the "I-Deck" (the horizontal touch screen that is about waist high) meets the main body of the cabinet, you'll see what looks like a tiny display. That display is a part in of the "player tracking" system.

    I've installed countless numbers of them in my time as a slot tech, some of them on the Everi Empire Flex, the slot cabinet pictured.

  • "All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined could not, by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years."

    Never thought I'd say this, but here's hoping that A. Lincoln was wrong.

  • A few years back, my college has put up flyers about copyright infringement. The timing couldn't have been more off...

  • Should Lemmy.ca defederate from Maga Place?

  • To a Nazi, anything less than pure, unadulterated Nazism is "left-leaning".
