What's crazy is that Fujifilm now, once again, makes more money on photographic film than anything else they do, thanks to how popular the Instax instant cameras are. That's just how wildly profitable film is.

How does HDCP work over DisplayPort? I guess HDCP is a different spec from HDMI itself?

Bad example, the 3GPP standards are not at all closed like HDMI 2.1 is, unlike HDMI 2.1 there are open source implementations https://osmocom.org/projects

None of my PC friends had any kind of networking, but on our Macs we had an AppleTalk (PhoneNet) network between 3 Macs (WC2 ran on a 25 MHz 68040 so my old bedroom Mac would still suffice) making my home the WarCraft II gaming nexus.

Yeah there are always levels of risk we as a society have chosen to allow. My thinking was along the lines of how to self-regulate these imports of cars that do not follow the common safety standards our society has chosen if they are force

Even since the very early versions of Sydney and ChatGPT their system prompt has started with the current date/time (and username, user geolocation etc), it seems odd they'd leave it off here.

FreeBSD users definitely seem to have taken over the mantle of OS evangelicals from Linux users. I tried using FreeBSD for two different projects (NAS and router) and it turned out to be unsuitable for both, for each one switching to Linux

Snoopy as a character is popular in Japan, but only as a character design - kind of like Hello Kitty. There is zero awareness of any of the shows or really Charlie Brown himself.

This is how it works in Japan for the newer rate plans for consumers now (replacing the previous method of charging you based on the size of your main breaker), but checked in 30 minute increments rather than 15. The steps are pretty coarse

Despite 10G being far from new it seems like somehow they're still not even achieving that with FreeBSD. Would be more interesting to see an upgrade to Linux.

by kalleboo 11mo ago
It's ironic because I chose Linux over FreeBSD due to 10G performance. Be it a TrueNAS box with dual Xeons and Marvell 10G card or a ThinkCentre Tiny with an Intel NIC running opnSense I could never get anywhere near full 10G throughpu
