They say a backup becomes a backup after it's successfully restored :)

After reading this, I'm even more confused about what autism is than before. Sure, my current knowledge may be wrong, but tearing down any generalizations "if you met one person with autism, you met one person with autism" ju

> machine level backups I presume that's block level backups? Or some snapshotting? As far as I know, block level filesystem copies can get inconsistent (so we have journalling file systems). But assuming it works well, like a files

When I say "worthless", I mean "close to 0 on the extension of the scale that stretches from an original to forgery".

But they aren't they related? There's clearly some dilution of value between an original and a forgery. I'm positing that NFTs are even more divorced from "originality" than forgeries – by a factor terrible enough t

I'm actually not sure how. What makes a forgery worth less than the original?

With NFTs you're trying to sell something worthless too.

Fully controllable pocket computers. Surprisingly, the tech has been there since the '90s, but never really caught up. Then it went into a weird walled garden direction with mobile phones that often work against you. Pocket computers a

Are they though? What kind of a random number generator is being used? Does it have 256 bits of entropy?

From the article, it doesn't seem that life being bad is the point: "But it's not that I'm unhappy in my life. My life is good, but I'd rather not be here. You know it's like there's a nice room, but I don

For me, anything that I couldn't write without a guide is too complex. Like a function. Or a conditional. Subjectivity of what is complex is the problem here, which means that regular Bash users regularly write programs that are comple

SSDs don't need to get defragged, but it needs occasional trimming, and that can be done either continuously, or batched. Sadly, there's no fancy graphical application to show you what was trimmed in the batched version. If you us

If it's factually wrong, or missing the point. Or if it's just attacking the parent. I try not to downvote opinions, even if they are blatantly stupid. On the other hand, disagreeing in a clever way will earn an upvote from me.

You're not going to be disappointed when you give them a try then. They match your requirements so far. Sure, they have problems specific to them (e.g. losing encryption keys, some WiFi sticks unsupported by policy), but every ecosyste

Experience? If you buy a computer with Linux on it, you don't have to care.

I think you're ignoring the manufacturers of Linux laptops, like Purism or System76. Those are built together, for each other. Okay, maybe not as deeply as MacOS, but it's the only concern of those companies.

The problem with that is that malware is different things for different people. Location trackers for insurance. A virus under research. A remote access tool. DRM. An outdated but working driver. A non-encrypted messaging tool. A cryptocurr

Relying on judgement opens the door to malice IMO. But we agree, and it's only a matter of wording.

We can see the result of (not arbitrary, but) precise mathematical divisions. "Halfway between" is a mathematical division. I must be missing something huge here.

That's why I mention judgement: we expect OS vendors to make a judgement (that fact is what the top post seems to be missing). And Microsoft makes a bad judgement now.

But lunar phases... are a mathematical division? 1/4?
