They’re not cutting you off for torrenting because they think it’s the right thing to do. They’re cutting you off for torrenting because it costs them money if rights holders complain.

You need to be networking, not applying. Why go to MIT if not for access to smart people to work with?

I think when I cp a file it takes on the context of the directory or whatever the default context for that path is supposed to be, and when I mv, it retains the original context.

Should the SELinux context of a file always be copied from the source when moving or copying it? Or should it typically inherit the context defined by policy for the destination directory structure? For example, copying a file from a user&#

ChatGPT is very casual with asking questions, and FRANKLY, I enjoy getting into a little bit of a daydream with it from time to time. It's taken the place of falling into a Wikipedia hole. Not sure if that's something that's

I don't think anyone needs to change their language. I understand that it's a common way to indicate candor, but it's hilariously inappropriate for a computer to say "some times I might lie to you to save your feelings,

I'm not saying you need to stop using it, but I prefer to not indicate that in some situations I would lie, but in this one specifically I won't. I communicate with customers constantly in my job, and my integrity and reputation i

My pet peeve is when an LLM starts off a statement with "honestly, ..." Like what? You would lie to me? I go nuts when I see that. Year ago I caught myself using "honestly ...", and I immediately trained myself out of it

You’re leaning hard on a No True Scotsman argument here. “With serious vendors, you’re not” is doing a lot of hand-waving to ignore how inconsistent support actually is across the industry. Just because you had a good on-site experience doe

Every hardware vendor has problems. Suggesting that Apple is uniquely bad while others “stand behind their products” doesn’t hold up. The difference is that Apple, after enough pressure, actually fixes things. They create repair programs, o

I’m glad that works for you and your family. For me, I thrive from taking breaks during the day with my family and having the ability to catch up and work when the ideas hit me. That’s what’s wonderful about remote work, both our styles can

The conflicts arise when all you do is work. Every second of every day does not need to be spent staring at your children and still be a good parent. I often sit with my kids and get a little work done on the couch while they're entert

It's certainly not worth it. I don't think that, for laptops, RAM requirements are increasing nearly as fast as they did 10 years ago. I spec 64GB for my laptops today, and if I could have afforded it, I would have specced 64GB 10

I'm a huge Thinkpad fan. I'm an even bigger MacBook fan. None of my MacBook Pros ever had any issues, and I used my last MacBook for 9 years. I could keep using it with Linux instead of MacOS, but I think almost a decade of use is

Look at Atlantic City. Trump (among others) did that to that city. That is what the US will become. It is heart breaking.

If America's reserve status goes, they will face the same constraints, except with way more debt and far less experience managing currency risk.

How is the European economy decimated? Not saying you’re wrong, but that’s a bold statement especially without receipts.

Overheating? Maybe. Preventing explosion? Absolutely.

My wild ass guess: prices dropped, causing battery packs to get bigger and increase availability to people who may not understand or care about the risk. Additionally, with lower base cost of lithium ion batteries, you get more cheap crap t

Usually I split it into two sentences, but yes. I don’t really see semicolons used in most business communications, so I treat them as a tell that the text was generated by LLM. Maybe I’m over reacting and prejudiced against semicolon usage

My LLM prompts all have “don’t use em dashes or semicolons ever” when I send the output to someone else. ;)

The comparison you’re making does not hold up because it mixes two completely different types of decision making. A consumer boycott is a personal, values driven choice. The goal is to express disapproval or take a stand, even if that means

I have had bad experience with cheap toner replacements. I will never get covered with toner again because the cheap toner cartridge blew up.

What a strange move. By all means you should be banning residential and small business equipment because that’s best practice for a number of reasons. But to ban their larger units is nonsensical. They are entirely different business models

My HP LaserJet MFP was a very good deal. It just works. Toner is expensive, but for residential use it lasts seemingly forever.
