Even though I don't use Macs, this shows how important it is to block ads. They are not just "inconvenient", they are dangerous.

Treczoks ,

Fuck that thing. THREE slots? I had to abandon one project and look for alternatives because my GFX card already block one slot from being used, but blocking two is crazy.

Treczoks ,

I wonder how they will spin it if the crew gets fried at re-entry - whenever this may be...

The award for "WTF Design" goes to...

So you get either a mediocre ARM or a mediocre RISC-V, plus an even worse RISC-V, plus an 8051 core.

I've seen a lot of crazy, stupid SOC designs in the last decades, but this is extraordinary.

And the board has USB2, 10/100 Ethernet, Wifi and/or(?) BT, and 512MB RAM. With no real support on the software side, and to small to run a modern Linux efficiently. If this board costs more than $10, it is doomed.

Treczoks ,

I'm not into JS stuff, but when I read that google is blocking ads, shit must be flowing in gargantuan amounts...

Treczoks ,

You are aware that "technology" is not limited to shitty apps with a small user base?

Treczoks ,

Not anywhere I read around, and I'm quite into tech.

Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

"Alternative"

Treczoks ,

They cannot afford wasting propaganda on the "Enemy", they need it to keep the starving population under control.

On the other hand: How can they afford those balloons?

Treczoks ,

Eight inches, not seven. Got a story with that...

Back when I was in school, I was working on the side on expanding an ERP system for a customer. Said customer got a stack of printouts from their main supplier each January: The new price list. They meticiously typed that 300+ pages list into their own ERP system, and then checked it for errors. This took the boss and his wife a good part of January and February. Every year.

So I told him that the main supplier already has that data in a computer, why does he not ask to get the price list on disk, and I see whether I can get them into the system via a software import. He called them, asked me back if "IBM Format" would be OK, and I said yes. Surprise: The supplier had an IBM mainframe and sent us an 8" floppy. Luckily, the boss knew the right people with the right equipment and got me a copy on 5.25" and in ASCII (the original was in EBCDIC).

It took me one day to figure out the format, write an importer, and run it to completion. Boss and wife were very happy.

And now imagine that companies paid reddit money to be enabled to train their AI on them...

Treczoks ,

Who is watching YT videos through this app? I occasionally run into it when clicking on a link on my phone, but I close it before the ads are through. Because it has become nearly as much ads as content, and is completely unbearable. If the video seem important or interesting, I may forward the link to my PC, where I can watch the video without ads.

Treczoks ,

Poor idiots.

Treczoks ,

Just that I don't have anything worthwhile on my phone. All the important stuff is on PCs. All the stuff that is professional, that is covered by NDAs, all the banking. And just because Microsoft has ever been shitty and is now going extra-shitty, it is not a Windows PC.

Just wait until some Microsoft digital parrot AKA artificial "intelligence" spouts some companies internal data that it had gobbled up somewhere from the companies internal network...

Treczoks ,

As long as one of them has a copy of that data, threats to publish them actually pose a threat.

Treczoks ,

Putting those LockBit people assigned - what has happened to those who caused the data breach? Microsofts buggy software, incompetent admins, stupid users, TLAs who store away known vulnerabilities instead of getting them fixed, etc.?

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough ( www.xda-developers.com )

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

Treczoks ,

I'd love to have 8GB of RAM. The SOC I'm working with has only 2K ;-)

Treczoks ,

No AVR, it's a small LPC from NXP. Chosen for the price, of course, but I have to somehow squeeze the software in it. At this point, even 8k would make me happy...

Treczoks ,

Luckily, no ;-)

Treczoks ,

Yes. 2 kilobytes. Coincidentally, this is as big as the displays internal buffer, so I cannot even keep a shadow copy of it in my RAM for the GUI.

Treczoks ,

And I have never heard it called "backbuffer", so we are even.

Treczoks ,

I never said anything about framebuffers. The 256x64 pixel display in 16 brightness levels probably has something comparable inside. I just tell it that i want to update a rectangle, and send it some data for that.

Treczoks ,

What do you expect that happens if a volcano throws dust into charged clouds?

There needs to be actual content rules. TIL worked best when the mods actually adhered to those content rules. Otherwise you just have people posting all kinds of nonsense. Quality is better than quantity

Treczoks ,

Qaulity is better than ... trying to post the whole article as a headline.

Treczoks ,

Looks good. Does it do Easter calculation?

Treczoks ,

I did that Easter calculation for a spreadsheet calender once. Calculating it was easy, getting it into the calendar display was a pain...

Treczoks ,

Sorry, don't remember, that was somewhere in the 90s or 00s.

How do I get phone notifications from my server while I'm not connected to my home network?

Hey guys. Im running Home Assistant in docker container for few years and I'm super happy with it. The only way I access my server when not home is wireguard VPN. I noticed that I'm still receiving notifications even when not connected to VPN. I wonder how is that possible?...

Treczoks ,

There are GSM modems that can be used by the server to send an SMS. I nearly bought one when it was cheap, but noticed just in time that the GSM level of that device was 3, which is no longer available here. And it needs a valid Sim card to work.

Treczoks ,

Will they serve it though?

There is a thing called "international arrest warrant". Of course they are rich enough to hide somewhere where the Swiss have no contract with, but I don't think they would enjoy that...

Treczoks ,

Good start. They are actually not the only ones in that area where rumors of similar treatment of employees are making the rounds.

Treczoks ,

Could be, if the neighbours did smart up.

Treczoks ,

So ChatGPT accepted Russian money despite the current sanctions?

Treczoks ,

"Lemons"? Is that "Lemmys gone sour"?

Treczoks ,

What would you expect in a country where "We drink raw milk" is the new "we don't wear masks"?

Treczoks ,

I wonder why nobody wants to set up their billboards on a burning heap of shit...

Treczoks ,

Looking for CSAM is only the excuse they put out. Who knows what they are actually after. Maybe they just want to find compromat on people.

Treczoks ,

Tibet is part of China and brooks no interference from external forces.

I'd like to see Putins face when the Chinese start say things like "Russia is part of China and brooks no interference from external forces."

Treczoks ,

Wait until the first customer gets his dick squeezed to mush due to a "software error"...

Treczoks ,

For those who like this kind of action... Which makes me wonder: If the Sex puppet has a software problem, is it still consenting?

Treczoks ,

Don't be surprise if it reappears as an attachment to a fishing quota law or a law defining sizes for underwear...

Treczoks ,

Actually, this is a common occurance in the US and EU. One of the previous, court-captured laws actually was riding with fishing quota regulations.

Treczoks ,

That will only kill a European if the American who ate it sat down on the European.

Treczoks ,

Do they make wet sucking noises if you lift your feet off the ground?

Treczoks ,

Why Egyptians? Is there a special reason that singled this group out for some reason?

Treczoks ,

Nope, not the King. He might have a lot of stuff, but quite a lot of that is basically unsellable. So his crown might be worth a gazillion, but parliament would probably interfere if he tried to sell it off. And it would be an issue what is actually his to sell and what is really owned by the state.

Treczoks ,

I only look into kbin.social occasionally to see if they finally got their spam problem under control. They were nice maybe a year ago, but now it is a dumpster fire with half the main page being ads for drugs and junk services.

Treczoks ,

Unironically yes.

My condolences.

Now are you going to answer what I’m saying or are you just bowing out of all the points you tried to raise and which I answered?

I answered all the relevant ones.

Treczoks , (edited )

WTF do you need a "reasoning" for that normal people should not have guns at all?
