  We just discussed this a month ago in the Technology@lemmy.world community: discuss.tchncs.de/post/23083174

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pants⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the day I’d say. Option 1 if they’re feeling row major, option 2 for column major days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jewel Beetles⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Besides “AI and facetuned images” from OP, another supernormal stimulus that comes to mind is fat anime tiddies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Rome Total War

  Anno 1602

  Stronghold

  I suspect I’m driven by nostalgia and by literally hundreds of hours of repeat exposure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Summary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Bilbo Baggins My Balls”

  Good group name though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes sense. He’s old enough and close enough thematically to have seen a few of these tech hype cycles.

  You’d think the secret service were better at opsec than random soldiers getting their helicopters blown up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Club Penguin Experience got breached.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty good disclosure text. There are much bigger companies that don’t manage to be this clear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IFIXIT: Victory Is Sweet - We Can Now Fix McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Repairing things helps reduce the endless resource expediture and trash creation. Ice cream machines are just a random example. As you can read in the article they were going for much more, and more significant stuff, but got denied.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IFIXIT: Victory Is Sweet - We Can Now Fix McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah this bit is a shame. The exception only covers bypassing DMCA protections to fix your own stuff not distributing the tooling for it.

  It is still a crime for iFixit to sell a tool to fix ice cream machines, and that’s a real shame. The ruling doesn’t change the underlying statute making it illegal to share or sell tools that bypass software locks. This leaves most of the repair work inaccessible to the average person, since the technical barriers remain high. Without these tools, this exemption is largely theoretical for many small businesses that don’t have in-house repair experts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, that’s a lot better than many people that have been forced into 5 days a week or similar bullshit

  I hope for your sake this isn’t just their first test followed by an escalating series of demands :-/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still got a Ryzen 1600, that would be just fine for when my flatmate needs a PC for working remotely, but his company reqires Windows 11 :-(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A move from Ireland to the Netherlands doesn’t really change much in that regard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About today's downtime⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it would be a server issue, on the status page all services on H5 had the same status. Thanks for the quick reaction!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So tired to see Elon Musk in my home page EVERY DAY⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t see him until your post, so thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A decline in arable land⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does Ireland have such a small sliver of areable land? I thought it was “the green island”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Server dealer keeps hitting at Elon Musk for $61 million bill — Wiwynn sues X for unpaid IT infrastructure products⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They ship servers to customers, don’t think they have access anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Server dealer keeps hitting at Elon Musk for $61 million bill — Wiwynn sues X for unpaid IT infrastructure products⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The article sounds to me like they were selling hardware, not providing a service.

  Checking their website confirms this is what they usually offer.

  Wiwynn may be unique in the market with its ability to provide solutions all the way up to L11 rack integration services – from the board, to the system to the complete rack. Wiwynn has the facilities to deliver systems that have been tested and validated prior to shipping, reducing the amount of time that customers need to spend to assemble, test, and validate prior to a rack installation going live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10001⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The four bit sections of eight bit bytes are called nibbles, you know because nibbles are small bites

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10001⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  RFC 791 refers to an 8 bit byte as an octet

  French people do too. On second hand websites in Switzerland you always see that some disks are listed for e.g. 250 Go and others for 250 GB, depending on the first language of the seller.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My dad told me recently, when he started practicing medicine the old people with heart failures he was treating were often born in the late 1800s, but now those are all dead, and the people he’s treating are more likely to have a birth years that are around 1940-1950. Which is also starting to become uncomfortably close to his own, 1960.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink kit found amid wreckage of Russian drone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Typical dual-use problem. The best you can do is try and close any black import routes you find, and try to disable or disconnect base stations moving faster than 150 km/h.

  Similar to how commercial civilian GPS clients shut off when moving at high speeds, except even better if you can do it from the satellite, so the client can’t be modded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  At least you can turn it off in singleplayer and still use your mods there. That’s a pretty important consideration imho.

  How do those community servers for RP work? Do they require mods? Do they still work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cereal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like the negatives were not in a large enough format, the remaster has letterboxing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Locked bootloaders can prevent that. Or proprietary hardware drivers can make it unworkable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oreo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ligjt mode twitter

  I usually prefer Daruk mode

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨28 Years Later: Danny Boyle’s New Zombie Flick Was Shot on an iPhone 15⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Next summer’s horror blockbuster is the biggest release yet to be shot with iPhones—and not even Apple’s latest model.

  But iPhone 15 is the latest model? The 16 Series is still the future model, until people can actually get them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Much more interesting is the part about Relayed RDP Shortpath. With STUN and TURN and even a relay it sounds like this will enable some usecases similar to TeamViewer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I patent harmful technology to prevent it from being put on the market?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First of all patents run out generally after 20 years. And then everyone can use your technology.

  The whole idea of patents is incitivising inventors to publish their invention for everyone to see. In exchange they get a period of exclusivity. This way they also don’t have to deal with as many trade secrets.
