  • Might want to boot up warpinator myself, but from their website:

    #Winpinator for Windows PC​

    For Windows users, this software is readily available for the Windows platform, allowing easy installation of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It facilitates seamless file and folder sharing between Microsoft Windows and Linux via LAN.

    It seems like there might be a slight error in your question. It’s possible that you’re referring to “WinZip” instead of “Winpinator.” WinZip is a popular file compression and archive utility for Windows. If you’re looking for information on WinZip, you can visit the official WinZip website to download and learn more about the application: WinZip Official Website.

  • VPN is another case of an appropriated and bastardized term, much like hacker, crypto, AI, etc.

    The term has been used wrong for so long by so many that most people now know VPN as nothing but a glorified proxy with some security, which is a rather niche use for the technology as a whole.

    Might be time to find a new term for Virtual Private Networks too, so it doesn’t get mixed up or get bad rep because of its other meaning.

    Jup ^,^

    And if you’ve got very long heir, then don’t forget to gently rub 2-3 drops of oil into any hair below your shoulders. It’s supposed to protect against split ends and damage and also gives the hair a “natural” shine.

    Or, at least that’s what I do… With normal vegetable oil, since that’s what I currently have at hand… ^,^"

  • Before you had optical media, you had cable matrices where you could ‘write’ the matrix once by overloading individual cables, thereby blowing/burning them like a fuse.

    Every media is writable at least once, but some media is erasable/re-writable a finite number of times (eg. RW-CDs can be rewritten some 10-100 times and flash can be rewritten some 10000 times).

    Since the process of writing to read-only storage is destructible, and since you tended to burn the individual cables in the cable matrix, it became known as ‘burning’.

    Originally, it had nothing to do with lasers or optical media.



  • Yes, I did indeed read the study - even before I posted my rhetorical question - which appears to be the raw numbers.

    And are you trying to tell me, that you do not have the raw numbers of motorbike-related accidents in relation to car-related accidents according to the European Commission for 2022? I find that hard to believe.

    EDIT: My bad, you meant the numbers of vehicles needed to equalize the raw numbers. Plus, the graph appears to already take relative popularity into account with the reversed relations.
