So... how do they plan to sell this idea to companies that require their employees to sign into their corporate VPNs when they're on the job?

Interesting, I didn't think an incandescent filament would even appreciably glow at 4W.

I know that they often label LED lights with the wattage of an incandescent bulb of equivalent brightness, since that's what people are used to, but I don't think incandescents ever went as low as 12W...

I mean, this is Lemmy, I wouldn't be surprised if the average age is above 30

It still enrages me to this day that IGN literally bought out a charity because they wanted to make money off of it. I will never forgive them for ruining Humble.

I've seen the stereotype of Altima owners being bad/dangerous drivers around the internet a few times, and I'm curious as to how it developed... The Altima always struck me as a pretty typical mid-size sedan, so I'm not sure what about it would attract a higher proportion of bad drivers over other similar vehicles, or why people would zero in on bad Altima drivers over anyone else.

Since I've learned of the stereotype, I have periodically noticed Altima drivers doing stupid things, but I also see a lot of Altimas and a lot of dumb drivers in general, so I haven't been able to tell if the incidence of bad drivers in Altimas is higher than the norm.

Yeah, pretty much. It was originally geared towards evangelical Christians, and while it was critical of Trump at first, it eventually turned fash around 2020 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Babylon_Bee

"...There are still no signs of foul play," the sheriff's office said.

Uh, what? He was found dead in a retention pond a week after texting "Help me" to his mother, how could that be anything BUT foul play?

Javascript's type coercion is rather insane, yes, but there is an actual, practical reason it's done. JS, having been designed to be run in web browsers, wants to avoid blowing up and crashing at all costs. If it gets an unusual type comparison, usually the result of a bug, it tries to return something, such that the script can continue running if at all possible. In JS' mentality, keeping a page running, even if it might not completely function properly, is preferable to throwing an unhandled exception and completely crashing it.

Whether or not that is the right approach is debatable, but there is at least some logic to it. Personally, I think that the proliferation of Node letting JS run outside of browsers exacerbates a lot of JS' issues, but TypeScript does a lot to make it look like a more sensible language.
