I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.
Dear article writers:
PLEASE STOP ANTHROPOMORPHISING CORPORATE ENTITIES.
They can’t feel terror, or anger, or ‘slam’ some other corporate opponent.
As an entity, they can make decisions and take actions. Assigning them emotional range gives too much credibility to soulless money making machines whose sole purpose is to create value for their investors.
I found with my QNAP NAS that even just sitting the case on a piece of styrofoam made it considerably quieter. A lot of vibration gets transmitted through the feet and whatever it sits on gets turned into a sounding board.
Does anyone actually hate systemd?
It’s a little too monolithic and kitchen-sink-including for my liking. It doesn’t feel like the “do one thing and do it well” style, it has a pretty large attack surface as a result.
Oh, and binary log files.
Waiting patiently for the arrival of my pebble time 2 with its moderate array of features and its 21+ day battery life.
A lot of presumption:
will surely be
If the Rust version becomes popular
It probably will
the Rust people will start pushing
They will most probably also
Does not a solid conclusion make:
That way. the Linux userland becomes even more broken than it already is because now we have again two incompatible sets of…
The Apples and Googles and Microsofts of the world are all about offering cloud services to hold your precious data, for what is essentially “free” to the end user. Push you into their services with dark patterns, make it a pain in the ass to do without them, join the cloud, it’s awesome.
Unfortunately all that comes with a catch - when automated services fail, and self-service solutions fail to resolve it, you have zero chance or ability to contact a real live human who can apply reason and judgement to sort out the issue. You and all your data are basically fucked at that point.
We’ve all been there, back in the day haha
But they had “kernel tweaks for buttery smooth performance!!! *”
* oh yeah bluetooth, wifi, fingerprint sensor doesn’t work, camera takes green tint pictures, phone app crashes, and I’ve had some hard lockups, but it’s been my daily driver for two hours now and it’s awesome!!1!
showed the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’” had declined over the past two years, from 22 to 17 percent on Facebook and from 11 to 7 percent on Instagram.
This is ENTIRELY because of Meta’s content algorithms that buried the content from everyone’s friends under a torrent of shit. It’s pretty disingenuous for the company that controls that algorithm to present this as some inevitable fait accompli, something out of their hands, oh well.
But of course Meta was terrified of people just viewing all their friend’s posts and then logging off for the day because, as everyone knows, line must always go up.
Everything is fine in the Apple ecosystem as long as you want to do something The Apple Way™.
As soon as you want to do something differently to how Apple decrees it should be done, then you’re screwed.
love that it has to repeat my command back to me before executing it
This is inserted to give enough time for the LLM to process your command. Otherwise Google would have to pony up for a lot more compute horsepower to make it performant.
Public with conditions on behaviour which can lead to your licence being revoked, just like the current GPL. 🤷♂️
Those who use AI to report to open source projects and flood the volunteering devs who keep the World going, should be disqualified from using those open source projects
I propose a GPL-noAI licence with this clause inserted.
Linus was ahead of his time in the human-identifiabilty stakes.
“Why do people do X, when in my opinion if you disregard the two top reasons for doing X, it’s pointless? Prove to me that it would be better!?”
Again,
Ha! Welcome to corporate
There is a catchphrase in corporate - “Minimum viable product” and it means just that, memory leaks and all.
If it seems stupid, that just means that it was cheaper to do it this way.
Program ROM/EEPROM + RAM, or just RAM connected to a USB interface with a reset line tied to the camera processor? See the USB device ID connect , fill the ram with the camera software, toggle processor reset , off you go.
It’s only a matter of time before Google borks the fine grained notification system in Android in the quest to serve you more ads information to enhance your life.
Apps get one chance with me. As soon as I get an unsolicited notification begging me to interact with them, that’s it, 100 percent silenced.
It’s difficult on the back end of the charger as well.
A shopping centre or rest stop can’t just spring for a few high capacity chargers for the car park. A single megawatt charger is 50 houses worth of consumption, so they now need a substation upgrade to provide what is basically a whole neighbourhood-equivalent of power.
Whatever you setup, also do a reverse ssh connection back to a PC of yours and forward ports for SSH and VNC-or-similar to local ports on your PC.
That way if it still boots you’ve got a way to fix it remotely and with reverse ssh they don’t have to do anything with port forwarding on their end.
