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.

Los Angeles had hidden oil rigs.
I thought that it became MANGA when it changed from FAANG?
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.
Operating systems don’t die, their time since the epoch just reaches INT_MAX.
Oh that’s a good idea. In fact with more measurements, it would become harder and harder to ignore them corresponding to a spherical model.
Every degree of latitude would be a degree of shadow angle.
For flat earth, it would be on an inverse tangent curve. Even if it was argued that the air somehow bent the light to distort results, what are the odds that it would do so in a way that exactly matched a sphere?
Someone should set this up as a world-wide science project. It would be easy to coordinate measuring at the same time.
To play devil’s advocate, wouldn’t you get the same result on a flat earth, if the sun was closer enough for rays not to be parallel?
Also useful for testing links that might only work if signed in.
For instance, if I share a link to a OneDrive file, will it force the receiver to sign up with Microsoft before they can view the file.
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).
I told you to remember where you parked it.
