Anyone have any idea why the cables are arranged like this? https://8400e186.delivery.rocketcdn.me/articles/wp-content/u... What's the zig-zag pattern for, seems like a fair bit of extra conductor.

The first stages always do, that's why corporations keep pulling the enshittification lever.

Billionaires benefit from it, they are the ones buying off our government. All the other "wedge issues" are designed to deflect attention away from our oligarchs and both parties are on the take. Look at how the DNC reacted to M

I’m certainly no authority but i tend to write the same way for casual communication, came from the 90s era BBS days. It was (and still is) common on irc nets too. Autocorrect fixes up some of it, but sometimes i just have ideas i’m tryin

Single word answer: trust. Y’all seem like nice people but trust isn’t automatic these days.

Sorry, "cost of entry" meaning that the software and the supporting hardware platforms makes it cost prohibitive for a small org that isn't moving a lot of volume from their shelves. Grocer margins are razor thin already.

I have no first hand experience outside of North America so I won’t speculate. There is a cost of entry so you need to be moving enough volume in a market already working on razor thin margins. I’d expect that this means it’s only for the

KVM is awesome enough that there isn’t a lot of room left to differentiate at the hypervisor level. Now the problem is dealing with thousands of the things, so it’s the management layer where the product space is competing.

VMware has been so good and reasonably priced for so long that there hasn't been a competitive market in the enterprise virtualization space for the past two decades. In a way, I think Broadcom's moves here might be healthy for t

Talking to midmarket and enterprise customers and nobody is taking Proxmox seriously quite yet, I think due to concerns around support availability and long term viability. Hyper-V and Azure Local come up a lot in these conversations if yo

The industry tends to use the even harder-to-understand term "shrink". Not always theft, just any loss of product versus what the books say they should have.

What percentage of the world's power grid do you figure is being used by all datacenters right now? Go ahead and look it up, you might be overstating the problem by a bit.

I've worked with a major retailer on similar backend systems and can echo the post above - all of them are running these systems and they almost never discuss the specifics (until someone like Walmart sues Everseen and we get a glimpse

More recently, TPM and the systems surrounding it are being effectively used for attestation of the entire OS and driver stack at boot time, from UEFI up to a running OS. DRM sucks, but I do appreciate having some degree of hardware-level

I'd rather suspect it has a lot more to do with 40+ years of application backward compatibility and the ludicrous stack of software available for the platform.

How about S3? I haven’t personally seen them price that so aggressively but I have a limited sample set.

Agreed - force sensitivity can be had for the princely cost of a cheap motor current sensor on each axis, everything else is a software issue.

It's still very useful for repair techs (and I don't mean parts-swappers, I mean actual techs). This data is pretty quickly reverse engineered and shared in China, and then made available to shops through services like ZXW, WuXin

I feel you're being dismissive but it maybe TFA would make more sense if the use case was more clear. The typical vinyl DJ setup is a pair of turntables, mixer, and PA. This adds a laptop and one or two of these encoded records to th

That compatibility can be pretty valuable as it allows you to mix between digital and analog vinyl on the fly on the same hardware. DJs of a certain age grew up around the UX of the Technics 1200s and these sorts of tools allows them to ke
