  with the US-based security vendor on November 11 urging customers to pull their management interfaces off the public internet or restrict them to known IP addresses.

  Why would you EVER put management interfaces on the public internet? What terrible decisions led them down that path? VPN is so quick and easy at a minimum.

  By “screen time” the article seems to assume the only thing they’re doing on their screens is social media. I had to check as if it was really just screens for more than 4hrs, that’s an interesting stat I hadn’t heard, but could make some sense. However, that’s not it. So doing things like content creation (drawing, writing, photography) reading or learning, aren’t counted in this study.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Surgeons Are Wearing The Apple Vision Pro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ergonomically, I’m not sure that’s better. Sure they don’t have weight on them that the headset would add, but being able to freely move your head without holding it against a stationary headset would be quite an improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passport-less clearance fully available at Changi Airport, average clearance time of 10 seconds: ICA⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Paperless doesn’t necessarily require biometric data… still, I’ll just skip Singapore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passport-less clearance fully available at Changi Airport, average clearance time of 10 seconds: ICA⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At the moment it sounds optional, so that’s a plus.

  Also:

  The previous average clearance time for each traveller was 25 seconds, said ICA.

  So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.

  Bet the people will spend more than 15s per person dealing with the ramifications of their biometric data getting leaked and used against them later though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨North Korea blows up parts of inter-Korean roads in a symbolic display of anger⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of those toddler things where everyone can look and say “you’re only hurting yourself here”. Like who cares? They’re unused roads/tracks. This does literally nothing. NK, this isn’t even a show of strength… like any country can get some tnt and blow up a section of unused roadway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Likely both of those could be much much smaller for 2024 because it’s just streaming the data so the updates and installation size are smaller since it’s all coming in real time while playing instead of having to be installed before playing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You joke about the install size, I’m more annoyed at the constant 1-2hr updates preventing me from playing when I have 20 free minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Read this if you own a Juicebox EV charger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Eh, I’d have to argue that even open firmware devices are a mistake unless they’re really standardized and extremely popular, which aren’t things you can necessarily know when its early in its life cycle.

  Open source things either get a cult following, or get that one lone dev that thanklessly keeps it going and then decides to give up and become a sheep farmer… or both.

  30GB plus unlimited data streaming while using it…

  That said, I suppose one plus is that this hopefully wont need as many 10+GiB updates literally right when I finally have an hour free and want to play it.

  I have a copy of slashdot when they turned it pin for April fools day. Does anyone know that? No. Could someone find it if they wanted to read it? No. Is that helpful for preservation? No. To be helpful I’d have to make it available and searchable. You know what that does? Makes it so it can be DCMA’d.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameStop Launches New Retro GameStops Across North America | Retro Gaming News 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when they had this stuff in stores. Then one day they decided it wasn’t making them any money and dropped all but the latest and the previous gen. This stuff was the primary reason I went to GS. After the dropped retro, little stores started to pop up to fill the gap and do it a lot better. Leaning into the culture surrounding retro gaming and imports and soundtracks and such. Not sure I’d go back to GS at this point. They kinda blew their own hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk says Tesla is an AI company now. Here’s how plausible that is.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon could have spun off Tesla’s AI (FSD) into a separate company or created a new AI company that Tesla uses for their FSD. Instead, he’s pivoting Tesla, a fairly successful, if troubled car company that uses AI, away from producing cars. Why? I mean, this is consistent with his firings and division layoffs, but it seems like a dumb decision from the board’s/investors point of view.
