Like pulling a tooth.

It also provides a raised grip for removing, but they could do both of those without THAT shape. Even rotating the hole 90 degrees would make it a little better on the key ring and still keep those marginal benefits.

I work in tech support. I haven’t done this, but a user I’ve worked with absolutely has. I have a photo around here somewhere, if I recall correctly he actually ripped the wires out of the cable lmao!

Edit: the picture. Guess it wasn’t wires out of the cable hah.

I love the documentation.

Just… Why is it shaped like that? What possessed Samsung to make that design…?

Oh neat. This is all taxonomy that is well beyond me. My defense of calling humans monkeys is that everyone does it, and that’s how language works. Glad to know I’m correct too, technically lol

Ol Bill Shakespeare. He wrote Hamlet, one correct letter at a time.

To be entirely fair, apes aren’t monkeys. I don’t think that particular distinction is really all that relevant to the discussion, but technically…

Technically true, I think it still fits for the layman.

Gyrategun. Shiversword. Vibratevibrator. Fidgetfalchion.

Weird how neither of those numbers are infinities. Almost like the numbers used are unfathomably small in comparison.

I would place money on some enthusiast somewhere having typed up Hamlet on a typewriter just for kicks. Surely in the hundreds of years of overlap between humanity, Hamlet, and typewriters, it’s happened once. I’d be more concerned with typos.

I think the point is less about any kind of route to Hamlet, and more about the absurdity of infinite tries in a finite space(time). There are a finite (but extremely large) number of configurations of English characters in a work the length of Hamlet. If you have truly an infinite number of attempts (monkeys, time, or both are actually infinite) and the trials are all truly random (every character is guaranteed to have the same chance as every other) then you will necessarily arrive at that configuration eventually.

As far as your process, of procedurally generating each letter one by one until you have the completed works, we actually have a monkey who more or less did that already. His name is William.

Why must the concept of time before the big bang (or after our heat death) exist in our physical reality for us to speculate about theoretical infinities past those? The thought experiment is about _infinite time, not all the time in our limited universe. A lot of things happen at infinity that break down as soon as you add a limit, but we’re not talking limits when we’re talking infinity.

What, was it blowing a whistle?

You sound fun.

Oh nice. I missed out on the wiiu entirely, so I wasn’t aware it was as capable as it is!

Original Wii is a very capable CFW/piracy device as well.

I think it has real staying power, if they can make the rest of the game as content rich as the first dozen or so hours. It’s only a flash in the pan because there’s not more fuel. As is the case for a lot of early access.

Can confirm, my car has the following cruise control buttons:

On/off - res/+

Cancel - set/-

The on/off button arms or disarms cruise control entirely. With it armed and no speed set, set/+ will set the current speed as the target speed. With no speed set, the only other button that does anything is the on/off button, which disarms the system.

With a speed set:

On/off will still complete disarm the system

Cancel will remove the set speed, but keep the system armed

Tapping the brake will pause the cruise control

Res/+ will increment the speed by one mph, or resume cruise at the previous set speed if cruise has been paused

Set/- will decrement the mph by 1, or if held pause the cruise control until it’s released.

One of set or resume will set the current travel speed as the new cruise speed, if travel speed is higher than cruise. I think it’s res.

For the most part this works fine. I don’t use the resume function, like you said it can be a bit harrowing if you’re not certain exactly what speed is set, and my car is over a decade old - it doesn’t have that feature. But, critically, it’s not a fucking CAPACITIVE BUTTON, and I’ve never accidentally hit it once.

Sure, I totally can’t see someone swiping on their steering wheel, say, shuffling across it to… I dunno, turn it? And either jetting forward because they just bumped it from 55 to 75 over the course of a turn, or suddenly slowing, probably without brake lights. Swipe on a steering wheel has got to be the worst car idea I’ve heard in a while, and I’ve heard some bad ideas.

Again, unless I’m misunderstanding the controls, which I am open to the possibility of. Please, if this is the case, let me know.
