Interesting, I've literally never seen that (though obviously not doubting your experience) and I have (at one point) been in charge of 1% of web traffic.. I'm wondering if this is something uniquely american, because we don'

Well, you'd be surprised how annoying it is to be a curmudgeon these days. You can't even find wired (aux) headphones... So tempering expectations when you finally decide to "go back" to simple things is required. I li

if a support contract is 70% of the cost of something, then for every 2 of something a spare is cheaper. For Aruba I think it was 1:1; a support contract was the same price as the device itself over 2 years or something. Support contracts n

Can you point to anything that he leaked that wasn't necessary to leak? He didn't release it to the public, he chose journalists specifically who had a lot of integrity and would go through the data with lawyers and release only

I still feel like we're catching up to SMF. But yeah, the lack of package manager hurt a lot, and there were competing third-party package managers which had totally different pro's/con's and packages and were incompat

it is often cheaper to buy a spare of something and throw it in a cupboard rather than have a support contract. I have a bunch of Aruba switches and this is what we do, because it's a lot cheaper.

I get super bent out of shape when Apple TV+ advertises shows before the one I am trying to watch; even sometimes advertising the show that I am trying to watch itself and spoiling things. I have actually cancelled my subscription because

“Hand yourself in” is not the compelling argument you seem to think it is. He put egg on the face of the US government, proving that neither democrats or republicans have done anything to preserve peoples right to privacy, even US citizens.

its just too convenient. If your goal is to discredit Snowden if you cant catch him, revoking his passport is a total win, he can’t flee to any neutral country (if there even is one that wouldn’t bend to the US) and wherever he lands is an

Heh, I have the opposite... uh "problem". I am often right. This has two negative effects; 1) I start to believe my own hype because I am so consistently correct- which blinds me to other ideas if I don't actively take steps

"democracies" have a separate problem, even if we had true direct democracy (and not representative democracy)- people often conflate what is popular with what is true . You can see this directly in online forums (including thi

Irony aside (now there's more people from the middle-east migrating to the UK- which if you're racist you tend to hate more than Polish/French/German/Swedes/Estonians)... I think a lot of people who argued for

I don't believe this happened. It's very easy to get into actual dehumanising rhetoric and genocidal slogans ("from the river to the sea"); but nobody actually cares enough to fire you for voicing your opinion on a mid

The Fujitsu Lifebooks were legendary for their robustness back in the day, I'm genuinely sad you had that experience. The only fujitsu laptops I used was back in 2011- it was a budget version for on-call and it was fine .. Sounds like

if you want correctness* you use write through caching. My mistake, if you want performance you choose write-back caching, and fewer nodes need to acknowledge the write. Sorry for clumsily typing the inverse when I was in a morning haze w

its also the fact that a lot of fundamental systems work in trade offs. Do you want performance, or correctness. Well, if you want performance you use write through caching and in the case of distributed storage: more nodes confirming the b

I don’t know of a better tool that operates on raw blocks, maybe there is one. `dd` is a real power user command, I’d prefer that it isn’t doing “intelligent” things, especially not by default.

You're right that greed isn't hate. I said as much, the motive was money, not malice. But motive and content aren't the same thing. A company can platform contempt cynically, for cash, and it's still contempt. "Don&

My statement was neutral, you shouldn't buy from people who hate you. They seem to really dislike me, and I would say the same to any person who was going to buy something from somewhere. You wouldn't be flagging me if it was a pe

Your call, aside from the opening being a bit long winded, it's actually a well written bit of text that goes into what made Nike successful historically, and the psychology of corporate greed and it's ability to destroy vision. T

i think the people flagging me haven’t bothered to try reading it, they just assume that they know what it says and thats enough. Despite the fact that I suspect many would agree with the core sentiment, no matter which political side you’r

I still think that it’s one of the great ironies of our time. Linux itself bends over backwards to avoid breaking userland, to the point where there is a substantial amount of cruft when interacting directly with the kernel. Only for GNU to

That looks like an interesting device. I'm more talking about being able to attach a normal laptop to another computer though, without any IP/Networking requirements.

We're singling out LG, but it's also true of Samsung and others. Maybe Sony is better, based on my memory, but I doubt it now without evidence.

except for the fact that it was literally shown? What am I missing; was it the rootkit itself that added the functionality to do background recording and dictation? I fucking doubt it.

I really just wish I had a USB-C KVM I could use with my laptop (or even better: tablet)... I can't find much, and what I find is a bit bonkers. I ended up buying a license to Orion, using USB-C→HDMI capture card with a Startech VGA→HD
