  Everyone remember how janky and ugly the OG XBox was? The controller that was too big for anyone but Andre the Giant?

  That’s like saying “why are measles news? It happens more often than you think”

  The point is: it shouldn’t be happening. We’re starting to see outward signs of a decaying system. If their personnel were correctly trained, with following proper procedures (for example, securing all equipment and vehicles to the deck) this wouldn’t happen.

  It’s news because “it’s happening” period.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving servers and rack equipment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We did it 1,500 miles across multiple states. Also when we ordered new servers we ordered fully built and cabled racks, shipped from HP in Juarez to our doors in giant crates filled cabled. Unpack, plug in power and uplinks and the entire rack was ready to go. We were getting like 2-3 of those a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving servers and rack equipment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny thing is, I’ve relocated DCs too and we did the opposite. We had rolling racks and we wrapped the entire rack with everything still in it and did a padded wrap with anti-tip indicators.

  The biggest thing to watch out for was we used a temperature controlled truck to ensure there wasn’t a swing in humidity or temps to cause condensation and then let the racks sit in the new locations for 24 hours before power on

  Moving 85 racks with literally hundreds of disks and we only lost 4 disks over the next 6 months which was in line with our normal failure rate. No need to tear down and re-rack.

  Is this the same girl we’ve been seen pictures of since she was a little kid? She’s probably so used to it by now it’s second nature. Though at first I thought it was Drew Barrymore from the thumbnail

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The more I know about something, the more my claustrophobia starts acting up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gives new meaning to ignorance is bliss…

  But seriously, take solace in the fact that you can never know everything about something. Physics, math, random subjects, you name it. The world and knowledge forever increase. So there is no way in your lifetime you’ll ever fill a chamber. Thinking you can is limiting hubris on your end. The more you learn, the more you’ll realize there’s so much you don’t know.

  So I know nothing about the games but each are set in the same world and right next to each other? Do they take place in the same timeframe?

  Reminds me a bit of RDR1 and RDR2

  It was a good container of those people. Now that it’s been shattered, the incels, misogynists, and others will scatter to the four winds and on to other sites…. like Lemmy.

  I mean it depends if they’re on your side or not. Part of the problem with the first two is they were not your friends or yours to control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of CAPTCHA is this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea good thing you didn’t. MSHTA is the app that lets you run Microsoft HTML Apps (usually used for their help articles). Those can contain JavaScript or VBScript code. And since you’re pasting it in a Run box it’ll happily execute it, even if it’s a remote source.

  Generally it would only run as your user (you’re not admin are you?), which would still be enough to make your life miserable, but it could also try to run known exploits and raise itself to admin and own your whole computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are probably fediverse instances being run by governments for surveillance purposes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are also instances that most likely exist just to suck up data for AI/LLM training. People were up in arms about it happening on Reddit and trying to torch their comments when here they’re giving it away for free and there are less bots because it’s a newer platform.

  So even TFA says it’s not completely going away. It’s just switching from a command to a registry entry. Additionally Windows 11 Enterprise most likely won’t be affected or LTSC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love my Elite but I think it’s absolutely stupid that I have to connect to one of their servers in order to change activities and buttons. There is literally zero reason for that. You could easily have an app that connects locally to the device and can do it there. I could see needing their service if you want to download new remote profiles but that should be it.

  (In)directly, I hate how much this isolates the US even further. We use imperial measurements when everyone uses metric, we will have our own standards with more and more stuff that will look vastly different than the rest of the world. It just makes later integration that much harder. I think of how NK and East Germany were/are where it’s like an odd fever dream of reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

  Yeah I point out that Texas used to actually be part of Mexico and the border moved, not the people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:

  • Traffic
  • Remote (app) features
  • Music Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

  Yeah I’ve used the Audi one and it sicks. Especially traffic, so many missing streets and odd routing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GM blocks dealership from installing Apple CarPlay retrofit kits in EVs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly CarPlay and Android Auto suck in my opinion compared to iDrive 7 on my BMW.

  But… that being said, I do support choice. I wouldn’t even consider a car that doesn’t allow CP/AA as I think it should be up to the consumer to pick which one they want to use.
