  I think north America only switched this last weekend?

  Had a non standard difference last week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams can record office presence from December⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They exist, but people don’t leave them once there, so new jobs don’t come up as often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams can record office presence from December⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it’s a useful feature… But only if you have a good company culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The company I work for is an Azure shop. However, our provider for customer OTP tokens uses AWS… So still in trouble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It just needed the AMD compatibility plugin, lots of time wasted until someone pointed that out though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point. I got 1 year of ultimate, will the plan to upgrade to perpetual if it was good (it is!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Has a nice UI, let’s me mix and match disks, let’s me host docker containers plus a VM with gpu pass through.

  All basically out of the box. (Ok - Pass through was a bastard) All for a one off price.

  I don’t know if there are other options that let me do all of that, unraid has always been the one mentioned.

  Didn’t Linus say that he is a tiny investor, they only let him in for the press. (Unless he has invested more?)

  Sounds like a good ‘nudge’ law - David Cameron would be proud

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel in early talks to add AMD as foundry customer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the fabs that the us gov cares about though. You could end up with ex intel fabs producing AMD chips, with intel bankrupt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨United States of Autism⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s the point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify is finally taking steps to address its AI slop and clone problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That requires you to buy all your music though, for those (like me) that own basically nothing, it’s crazy to change.

  They need to force the free streaming of owned tracks or something. Qobuz allows this I think, but only if you buy through them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s one of those things, that if done well, in a privacy respecting way, would be awesome!

  … But they don’t want it to be privacy respecting…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the article actually list the target altitude for this version?

  I think I was imagining something much higher. You’re probably right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A wind turbine automatically feathers. Why can’t the airship automatically raise and lower itself?

  With modern forecasting, getting it’s height right shouldn’t be too hard?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of profitable companies with lower PE ratios.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wealthy parents rush to give children their assets as tougher UK inheritance tax rules loom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand the complains when it comes down to family businesses, it’s not just wealth, it’s the business. Getting a loan against the company big enough to pay the tax bill could be difficult/unaffordable.

  Maybe there should be an option to give a share of the company to the taxman as collateral and split the bill over years or something.

  See the Samsung inheritance tax debacle to see the extremes of this kind of stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Value Age verification⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There should be age walls for some stuff. What that stuff is and how the walls work is up for debate.

  In this situation (a store) using a payment method as the age wall works well. In other use cases it would not be as good.

  IMO: the new law is overreaching, they needed to set up privacy protecting ID verification system first if they were going to go that far. It’s an own goal so far…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Value Age verification⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically, this means that they are more likely to be used to pay for porn games though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Value Age verification⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you trusting them with? Most people have already given steam this information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Value Age verification⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not asking for an ID?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Value Age verification⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Screenshot is from here

  It’s the best option I can think of, not privacy invasive stuff. My only concern would be if it’s good enough. My only problem is that it requires you to have a credit card.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Could Be Getting A Sequel Or DLC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It does get harder later, I had to leave areas to level some more/rebuild characters. Some areas are just weak/strong Vs some builds too.

  I still haven’t finished it either, actually 2 seems to go on forever (don’t even know if it’s the last act).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t understand why apps these sizes need that many people in the first place, what do they do!?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to Qobuz. They use soundiiz.com to migrate, I think it was free transfering to them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that JetBrains IDEs do not remove old share and cache files from the previous version when upgrading. Every folder includes a local LLM, plugin executables, and old search indices. They go unused. Removing old versions freed up 14.8 GB storage for me.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Equally, when your install is fubar, you can uninstall, reinstall an old version and it will re-upgrade all your old (not broken) configs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cryptocurrency that is pegged 1-1 against a normal currency. I think they have some limitations though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it a payment processor problem, or a card issued problem though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about the so called ‘stablecoins’?

  (Although those sound dodgy AF to me?, not backed 1-1 anymore?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why LLMs can't really build software⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick is to split up the tasks into chunks.

  Ask it to identify the blocks.

  Then ask it to identify the connections.

  Then ask it to produce the diagram.
