Yep. The Windows 10 software is dire. If I RDP into my desktop machine the mouse lights up like a damn Christmas tree and won’t stop until I physically unplug it. It’s a cheap end G203 which I bought because it has a DPI switch on it so I c

This clip contains the actual “mistake”, ironically a bug: https://youtu.be/XGge4rj4v_Y Edit: idiocracy is a great film. However watching these dystopian films as a software engineer is somewhat stressful :)

It doesn’t. It was a shit show well before that. I think they just fished out a load more cash to fix stuff as well.

This is a depressingly common line of thought. I have corrected many people over the years on that front. I think the finest example I have seen was an asset tracking system in the defence sector. Independent auditors came in to make sure t

Very cool. For me this hopefully means higher end Zen 3 CPUs will bomb in price so I can upgrade my 2600X

Yeah I’ve avoided it intentionally!

Aye it’s a burning trash heap of everything thrown on top now. MSFT stacks are an ever ending wild ride of change, deprecation, constant direction shifting and bugs. I’ve been writing c# since 2002 and I’m quite frankly done now. It doesn’t

I’ll stick with the AC thanks. Having a house full of switchers is going to be hell.

Also impractical due to I^2R losses.

Yeah I sent that to my father who is a model 3 owner and former software developer :)

There’s no excuse for this at all. It’s shitty short sighted engineering. Simple as that. The main firmware should have been on a separate physical device if data was write heavy regardless of “enough space” being left. It would have cost a

This. Only thing I’d like is offline notes in it. Literally in the middle of the supermarket and I can’t get to my shopping list

Let us disable telemetry first.

Oh wow that just sounds horrible. So it is entirely the illusion that it's doing what you want. It'd be as pointful as riding in one of those cheap amusement rides outside a shop. It's all shiny. I want to sit in it. But the

Yeah considering people complain about game updates running 50Gb of traffic once every few months this is going to be a big issue for a lot of people. Also I suspect this is not something that will sit on any CDNs due to the specialist natu

I can't see how this lag couldn't exist with the network, processing and encoding overhead. How did they get that far through product development and still assume it was viable?

Totally agree. It can really shit the bed hard it can. I had an 0.8 cluster that crashed with a never ending leadership election. Only option was to burn the whole cluster to the ground and reinitialise it from scratch. That issue seems to

I don’t know why you’re downvoted because it’s true. It’s going to go snap like a 1980s lunch box hinge. Apple got rid of as much mechanical stuff as possible. There was a good reason for it.

They are fragile as fuck. Literally I dropped one three inches onto the carpet and the screen went pop. Also it slowly bent over time in my bag. This replaced a 2010 MBP which caught fire after I spilled a drink next to it. The case sucks s

That and the telescreen can fuck off. Zuck has done enough damage to society. Even Cthulhu is shaking his head at him.

Yes. I had a pretty bad one from a commercial software company. Running any script someone else wrote badly intentionally or otherwise is dangerous . The source is moot. Rather than provide distribution packages they had a shell script tha

A close anecdote. I posted one on IRC about 15 years ago, before this was even a thing, which called home by calling curl to an endpoint I controlled only. The sales pitch for the script was setting up vim properly which it did do. 80% of t

TLS takes considerably more watts of power on the basis it actually does more work and shuffles more electrons around the CPU. I suppose that loosely converts into carbon footprint. However even if it is an issue, most sites sending 6 meg o

That's a fair point for sure.

The issue is not necessarily the background checks but the fact that you can be compelled by the state you reside in after the fact. For example the state could target known employees of GitHub after they are employed and checks passed. I&#
