What is the largest file transfer you have ever done?

I’m writing a program that wraps around dd to try and warn you if you are doing anything stupid. I have thus been giving the man page a good read. While doing this, I noticed that dd supported all the way up to Quettabytes, a unit orders of magnitude larger than all the data on the entire internet....

That’s some RFC 2549 logic, right there.

Digital Cinema Package; basically the movie file you’re watching when you’re in a movie theater.

Nothing replaces common sense, but I’ve been using ESET for years now and have been really happy. Just the AV mind you, none of the other security suite bs.

His excuse was some bs about, “companies should be allowed to decide for themselves without having the government mandate it for them”.

This, from the same guy who wants the government to decide what aspects of history schools can and cannot teach, or what books libraries can and cannot include.

Very consistent, Ronny.

They held one yesterday under the shadow of the Microsoft acquisition - granted, it wasn’t official yet, but friggin Phil Spencer showed up bc everyone knew it was going to go through - so I don’t think it’s explicitly Microsoft interfering. This feels more like the realization that, like last year, they don’t have that much exciting content to hype right now. They already milked their 3-part WoW xpac news dry, all they’ve got left is… Diablo season 4 or the seasonal new Overwatch character? Can’t build a convention around that.

I read a while back that Bobby Kotick was trying to drum up investors for it.

Well c’mon, if they write a legit privacy bill it’s going to hurt their Stateside vectors. This way, they can tout “yay security!” while funneling more traffic to Instabookapp where they can still access it.

You just need 9 more PCs with the same motherboard on em!

Not to mention it needs a security update. Gotta figure out a way to encrypt those pigeons!

I collected Marvel cards back in the 90s and I’m pretty sure I have at least a few that are official “collectors items” now. I’ve never looked into it very thoroughly since I just kept them in baseball card pages with no other particular protection from the climate, etc, but who knows?

Pretty sure that was more than one time

Only when the tree shoots first

Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck (www.engadget.com)

Last year, two Waymo robotaxis in Phoenix “made contact” with the same pickup truck that was in the midst of being towed, which prompted the Alphabet subsidiary to issue a recall on its vehicles’ software. A “recall” in this case meant rolling out a software update after investigating the issue and determining its root...

I think it’s slightly more nuanced - not all OTAs are recalls, and not all recalls are OTAs (for Tesla). Depending on the issue (for Teslas), the solution may be pushed via an OTA in which case they “issue a recall” with a software update. They’re actually going through this right now. For some other issues though, it’s a hardware problem that an OTA won’t fix so they issue a recall to repair the problem (ex: when the wiring harness for their cameras was fraying the cables).

This is 100% from the NHTSA shenanigans, though.

The literal elephant in the room is Mastodon, the open source, decentralized social network that’s been around since 2016, years before Bluesky existed. While the platforms share similar goals, they use different protocols, making it difficult for the platforms to work together.

Quick, someone link the xkcd

As someone in my early 40s, I can confirm that 50 year olds were born almost 100 years ago. Right? …right??

I’m a die-hard AC fan, but typically only play through the game/story once and then put it on the shelf. This year, I picked up the UbiWhatever subscription at $15/mo, played through AC Mirage in a couple of weeks, and dropped the subscription. It’s even better than waiting for a sale!

Florida here. They have adequate coverage, but there are caps in some extra options or high-end tell estate. The bigger issue is that all the other instance agencies are pulling out of the state so Citizens (the state insurance) is having to cover more and more to the point that the state is just one direct hurricane hit away from insolvency.

I saw this on Reddit a while back. This isn’t an actual employee, it’s the kid of a manager who brought them to work for the day (school was closed or something). The dumbass manager thought it would be cute to dress her kid up and put them on the register, but patrons were rightly weirded out. Culver’s corp found out and were pissed - I’m not sure if the manager got fired or not, but this definitely wasn’t something Culver’s was cool with.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the concept cars always look sleek and then the manufacturers poop out something that looks way more standard. See: the Chevy Volt.

Absolutely, is this even a real question?

I set up a test rig with Fedora to see how the gaming went and didn’t have any issues with Steam or a handful of AAA games. Of note though, my test machine has an AMD GPU so I didn’t have to deal with any Nvidia driver shenanigans.

Does he not have any accountants?

Probably fired em. When you have more money than nearly the rest of the world combined, you don’t need to keep track of things like “finances” and “books”.

I’m in my early 40s in the US. I learned to drive a manual when I got my license ~25 years ago but haven’t driven one since that day. I rode a motorcycle for a few years as well, so I’m pretty sure I could manage if I absolutely had to.

Dlayknee ,

Thank you for doing this so I didn’t have to

Dlayknee ,

Yep!

Dlayknee ,

On top of what’s already been said, to your question specifically of what the devs are doing - a lot of the time it’s nothing out of the ordinary as the Ops teams are the ones conducting the maintenance. There will likely be a dev or devs on call, but that’s routine anyway so it’s ultimately just another day for them. Sure, when big patches are pushed they’re typically more attentive to the process - but even then, they’re essentially informed observers.

I lost my grandmother and dad to Alzheimer’s. I feel like it’s probably in my future, as well. It’s a miserable disease that makes me question a lot of end-care practices and my wife & I are absolutely going to have some strategies in place, but to answer your question we already have 3 beautiful children that I can’t imagine life without (pretty sure there’s an Alzheimer’s joke in there, somewhere). I certainly don’t want to put them through what I saw with my Dad, but I also wouldn’t want to have missed out on all the wonderful experiences I’ve had/will have with them on account of a “what if”.

Ultimately, the choice is yours to make but you’re clearly putting a lot of worthwhile thought into it and I’m sure whatever you decide will be the best choice for you. I’m sorry about your dad & sister, and if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here.

It just looks like the AC3 sea combat. Not even modified - it looks exactly like it did a decade ago!

Yep. I also block that source from future feeds if I can.

Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own?

I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router’s wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the...

Dlayknee ,

QoS was my first thought as well. OP is ready to build a faraday cage to brute-force this common 3rd party router feature!

Dlayknee ,

Pretty sure I’ve RMA’d a few pieces of hardware where they did just that

Dlayknee ,

I’m not holding my breath for it in the US, unfortunately

Dlayknee ,

So how screwed are we? Obviously this isn’t good, but I don’t think it’s going to stop here - and at least in the US it doesn’t seem like the political landscape is going to change any time soon. So is this bad enough for people to start having to do something like move away from the equator? Or are we approaching a legit “move to Mars” scenario?
