This comment right here officer. (Fwiw, I up voted)

So wholesome. Now you’ve gone and got me all emotional, SatansMaggotyCumFart

If only the famously homophobic US military hadn't become less homophobic 10 years ago! THEN there wouldn't be centuries of history of homophobia in The Global South(tm) (lemmy.world)

Goodness, I almost had a dangerous thought, like “The struggles we experience in Western countries largely have analogues in non-Western countries” instead of “Every Problematic Opinion™ held by non-Western societies is The West’s fault”

Wait… So I can’t identify as an apache attack helicopter, but I’m perfectly valid as a MQ-9A Reaper? 😤

Careful doing just this. They actually track http request headers and look for desktop signifiers, so your best bet is to use a VPN in tandem with whatever setup you go with. (Tried doing this a few years back without the vpn, they sent me some very upset texts.)

I’m also not sure where they got their idea that cloud is cheaper from. On prem has always been cheaper, I’ve had to walk through fire and flames to get my company to approve cloud hosting as we simply do not have the capacity to be our own mail host. Goodluck explaining tech debt to upper management though, it’s like they’re allergic to the idea of understanding it.

Most UPS systems of quality will come with software capabilities. You can leverage this and just use a daemon to check the charge status every minute or so. If it’s ever off AC or reporting charge levels lowering, you can toss the system into a low power profile. This might accomplish what you’re trying to do.

I’d say I’m optimistic, hopeful, and we’ll intentioned but it’s been many a year since I’ve felt “nice”. Something shifted in society during the Covid era and I just feel awful going out of my way for most people these days. Very much in the “every person for themselves” category.

The antitrust machine hasn’t had its scheduled maintenance for a few generations. It’s gonna take a little while to spin up.

Same. Lol

Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves. Have seen this one video from KTZ Systems where he bought up multiple of these external ones just to open them up and use...

Ptsf , (edited )

Yeah! The practice is called drive shucking (kinda like Oysters) and you just need to be considerate of the limitations. The drives often end up cheaper, but lose warranty support once they’re shucked. They’ll also occasionally be slower than a normal drive or have an odd connector, but that is rare since it’s usually cheaper to go with something ‘off the shelf’. If you Google it though you should usually be able to find the handful of drive SKUs they’ll use in whatever external you’re planning to shuck.

Ptsf ,

Indubitably.

Ptsf ,

It’s the same reason many unenforced laws exist. It’s an entrance point. As the saying goes, they didn’t get capone on his gang activity.

Ptsf ,

Why do we live in this hell? Fuckin end users man, let me roll Arch.

Ptsf ,

They don’t brick shit, don’t lie. It not booting until you swap the part back to a verified part isn’t even remotely close to a full bricking.

We do not break userspace in this household young man.

Actually just got my $20 for this. Class actions work sometimes I guess. 10 years after the fact.

Printed circuit board.

Although we don’t see it, all of these developments do actually eventually make their way into battery tech. The batteries of today are not the batteries of 2014.

Encoding engine basically requires it, so you’d need to implement a hack or something. reddit.com/…/intel_arc_h265_encoding_performance_…

New Class of Antibiotics Proves Potent Against Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria (scitechdaily.com)

Further development of this class of antibiotics could make an...

Goodluck with that.

Ptsf ,

These batteries are likely far more complex in packaging, design, and thermal management that any consumer electronic cell. They’ll likely “fail safely” if/when they do fail.

Ptsf ,

China is a massive economy and country with some of the most advanced manufacturering and tooling in the entire world. Yes, it could be shoddy, but it’s in a ship and is going to be far more regoriously scrutinized by their regulatory bodies than a normal stationary battery would be. I understand the plausiblity of your comment, but it seems to be rooted in prejudice or extreme ignorance.

Ptsf ,

I would highly highly highly recommend a atomic distro. It’s going to be a much nicer sandbox for someone starting out, regardless of age.

Ptsf ,

They’ll just buy the entire startups back using their mountain of accumulated wealth and the cycle will repeat.

Ptsf ,

Morals and principles are all good and dandy until you’re staring down daddy Google (who can take millions in losses without blinking an eye) offering you a choice between a large check or competition with a business entity that doesn’t need to be profitable . There’s not a lot of people in the world who could stand up to that, even fewer so that would want to when the alternative is a worry free life sitting on whatever millions Google paid you while sipping Mai Tais on your private island.

Ptsf ,

Half the tool chains

Ptsf ,

Weight is also a factor. All these bottles/etc are often transported in very carbon intensive supply chains. Any additional weight scales that footprint and has to be managed.

Ptsf ,

It’s also worth noting that transport does not have a zero cost on the environment. It’s why we did away with glass, it’s so heavy it actually becomes carbon intensive to transport. Especially when you account for greater spoilage percentages (due to the glass being mishandled and breaking more often than alternatives). The equation isn’t as simple as it would seem. The true solution is less likely single use drink containers of any kind and more likely some sort of reusable bottle you carry around with you and could fill up.

Good old Linus. "If we break userspace or common functionality, we’re the problem. "

This is the way

I’d save a stranger, but between a cat and my enemies I can’t say I’d be inclined to go out of my way for either.

Ptsf ,

GM produces their own Ultium cells, but the partnership was mainly for the rest of the vehicle. (Control systems, etc, etc) so they could slap a Honda infotainment system into it and a different set of sheet metal on it and say they’ve got an ev in their fleet for tax and fleet fuel efficiency reasons.

If you’ve showered in the last year and don’t suffer from a nutritional deficiency you’re probably doing better than 99.999% of your ancestors. 🔥

You can boot windows from a USB stick if you really want. It’s even branded. “Windows to go”.

Kagi is paid and has a small usage free tier. If you don’t pay for what you use, you’re the product.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL, which had the same ultimate root cause as recent XZUtils backdoor incident (dev.to)

The XZ Utils backdoor, discovered last week, and the Heartbleed security vulnerability ten years ago, share the same ultimate root cause. Both of them, and in fact all critical infrastructure open source projects, should be fixed with the same solution: ensure baseline funding for proper open source maintenance.

Ptsf ,

Hear me out. What if instead we just included a respected developers open-source project into our multi billion dollar product, paid them nothing, and gave them the pressure of ensuring it’s working for millions of users at the threat of their reputation until their mental health is in shambles? 🤔

Ptsf ,

Why is privacy feel so impossible when working with any American company? Literally every cell carrier has had multiple catastrophic data breaches in addition to insane data collection practices. Are consumers and regulators really this disinterested in maintaining basic protections for our communities?

Ptsf ,

Like a lot of markets big companies engage with, cloud services were operated at near loss levels for years. It’s only when they had a sufficiently vendor locked and invested user base that they started cranking the costs, especially in areas you wouldn’t otherwise notice. There’s a reason everything is micro billed, and it’s not to make it easier to lower costs on your end.

ELI5: The Linux xz backdoor situation

PLEASE. I keep seeing it in memes. As I understand it the latest version of the xz package (present in rolling release distros like Arch and SUSE Tumbleweed) has “a backdoor”, but I have no earthly clue what can be done by malicious folks with access to that backdoor or if I should be afraid or how to check if my distro is...

Ptsf ,

The backdoor was not contained within the source code, but within precompiled binary blobs sent “downstream” from the maintainer, this is often done so that end users get a leaner version of the software without development tool chains attached, which also makes automated checking of these blobs difficult to impossible so instead we rely on verified and trusted upstream maintainers to be “good actors”. That’s the reason this is such a big wakeup call, as it’s a maintainer that worked on projects and waited for years before trying to push this through.

Ptsf ,

Probably telemetry software. Basically mandated for any publicly traded software company these days.

Ptsf ,

Yep! I understand, which is why I was clarifying for the previous commenter. As for if telemetry is morally justified, or if we should go back to old fashioned bug reports and some sort of upload system that requires direct user buy-in as the payment for privacy at the cost of reliability, mobility, and scalability is a discussion for someone else haha.

Ptsf ,

Thanks 🙂

Lol what a take.

Disable OnePlus N30. Full charge notification

So I have a couple month old OnePlus N30 phone, and one thing that drives me crazy with it is when I plug it in at night to charge, eventually it fully charges. You would think this is good, but then it decides to vibrate every 30 seconds or minute or so to tell me it’s fully charged. Over and over again till it wakes me up...

Ptsf ,

Lol your phones charge controller is much smarter than you. Let it regulate the charge. “100%” isn’t that anymore.

Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles (www.polygon.com)

Warner Bros. Discovery is telling developers it plans to start “retiring” games published by its Adult Swim Games label, game makers who worked with the publisher tell Polygon. At least three games are under threat of being removed from Steam and other digital stores, with the fate of other games published by Adult Swim...

Must me nice 😭

Honestly! Not sure. 🤷‍♂️
