I ran into problems because some time before the transition happened some bot use my email address to sign up for an XBox account, in German for some reason. So I have to first do an account takeover on some bot account that has been used

Which would work but in this case is not ideal because the majority of traffic arriving at the switch may not be on the table. Also, it will be constantly blowing away the existing entries in the table causing it to forget about the locall

A nice thing about the fertilizer is that it is only needed for a few weeks out of the year, which means it can be produced intermittently and stored without causing problems. If there are two weeks of non-production due to weather that is

Sounds like an opportunity to scale up your business. If the competition suddenly gets expensive that is a market opportunity. Of course it's never that simple. If the war ends tomorrow and fertilizer prices drop back to normal over

Right, which is why the tiny 4 entry MAC table might be a problem.

That memory constraint is a real killer on the chip, even one that is a first generation toy like this. Only having 4 entries in the forwarding table is going to be an immediate problem if that switch is ever connected to another switch. I

My very old i5-3570K on Firefox 153 is running this at 17.5Hz. I'm not sure why a much newer chip would be dramatically slower.

Doesn't FAT have the concept of "badblocks" to handle the old days when sectors could randomly fail on drives and they had to work around it? It would only be slightly more suspicious but it would allow the drive to be mount

The RAM crunch has been a quiet victory for those older cards. I have a 10 year old video card in my rig that had at the time a decent but not chart topping 8GB of RAM. Developers are still targeting 8GB because so many of the cards relea

It's the difference between getting a trickle of random players on the map vs. never ever seeing another player. For Minecraft random people are more of a nuisance than an asset, but for a Roblox obby there is an expectation that other

It's been noticed, but nobody with access to the website has been told or cares. The author is almost certainly the first person to do a root cause analysis and come up with the solution though.

I imagine such an engine would instantly blow itself apart in real life. Basically the simulated version of those tractor pull cars where the engine survives for about 500 rotations before it has to be rebuilt.
