Electronics LPT: Use PowerPoint to keep your screen from locking.

5.7k Upvotes

IT have a policy which locks your computer, or logs you out every 5 minutes (or worse)?

Open PowerPoint, any presentation will do, and start the presentation. Tab out and continue your work.

On a Microsoft OS, your computer won't timeout...ever.

Also, if you hit the "B" key, it sets your screen to black.

Sorry, Cybersecurity folks...had to share this one.

Also, don't do this and leave your computer. That's probably unethical and/or violates a code of conduct.

I use this one because I'm constantly interrupted while working and have long conversations with folks while sitting at my desk...and for whatever reason my WIFI drops if the screen locks.

❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO for being upset that my partner lied about being allergic to strawberries?

2.8k Upvotes

I’ve been with my partner for 2 years. Very early on, she told me that she was allergic to strawberries. Strawberries are my favorite fruit— like, genuinely one of the few foods I both loved and could rely on when I was anxious and struggling to eat.

Long story short, she told me that she’s allergic and it could be dangerous if I ate them and then kissed her. So I stopped, immediately and completely. I cut out strawberries, anything strawberry flavoured, even things like strawberry gum and candy, just to be safe. I didn’t question it because when someone says they have an allergy, you take that seriously.

I just found out recently that she isn’t actually allergic to them, like at all. She just doesn’t like them. She didn’t want me to eat them before kissing her because she simply doesn’t like the taste.

I know they’re just strawberries, and I know this might seem small to some people, but it doesn’t feel small to me. It feels like I made a real sacrifice, no matter how minor it might seem, out of care and concern. And she let me believe that for 2 whole years. She knows how much I love strawberries. I don’t think I could ever imagine asking someone to give up something they loved just because I didn’t like it, let alone lying to get them to do it.

Didn’t she ever sit there and feel even a little bad watching me crave strawberries and not eat them because of what she said?

I just find it so selfish and odd.

Do Americans secretly want this?

689 Upvotes

Trump was just on ABC News and made the point that the deported maryland father had the actual letters "MS13" tattooed on his knuckles.

The image is circulating online and it is (to most people) obviously photoshopped/annotated.

He lies about this on ABC and the reporter gives him little, but no real pushback.

Many have said this is because he would lose his job if he did so... But what else can he do? Just swallow it down and move onto the next question?

This entire thing is 100% intentional. He and his team KNOW his base is stupid enough to believe it, and even if they dont, they will fight to the death that it is true.

America and its citizens not doing anything about this blatant display is telling.

Either YOU do something, or no one will.

APPROVED B-LISTERS Swiss Fencers Refuse to Face Flags During Israeli Anthem

8.7k Upvotes

The Swiss under-23 fencing team refused to turn towards the flags while the Israeli national anthem played during the medal ceremony of the European U23 Fencing Championship in Estonia, on Saturday.

The Swiss team, which came in second and won the silver medal, kept facing forward while the Israelis, winning gold and Italians taking third, turned sideways to face the flags of their countries during the anthem.

The footage has since gone viral on social media, widely hailed online as an act of protest, while the Swiss Fencing Association apologised on Sunday after facing pressure from the Israeli foreign ministry.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar took to X stating: "Shame on the Swiss team for their disrespectful behaviour. You don't know how to lose and behaved in a manner which is an embarrassment to you and the country you're supposed to represent."

They’ve both been through the same stuff, they both know who’s who and what happened here and there, but only chose to wipe 3PO’s mind? Didn’t they know that R2 could have easily restored 3PO’s mind? Plus, what was the reason they wiped his mind?

AI is changing how we create ads.

This campaign is 100% made with ChatGPT for WWF.

Yes, everything was done in ChatGPT.

There was no editing. From idea to image, the focus was on storytelling.

This shows that AI can create real emotional connections.

It works alongside humans, not as a replacement.

AI + creativity = endless possibilities.

Know your Worth 🏆 We weren’t lazy. We were just the first generation to realize “work” was never going to save us.

They told us to go to college, get the job, stay loyal, and we’d be fine. Now we’ve got degrees we can’t afford, wages that haven’t moved in a decade, and burnout so normalized it’s part of office culture.

I’m not anti-effort. I’m anti-exploitation. I’m tired of watching people work two jobs and still choose between rent and groceries.

Maybe we weren’t built for this system. Or maybe we were just the first to say: this system is broken.

Is it radical to want rest, fairness, and dignity? Or are we just finally waking up?
