Why? They offer it as a fallback solution you have to explicitly enable, I can imagine it's not their focus given that the regular connection is encrypted.

I mean, both are true? It's not a manipulative headline in my opinion.

BackInTime turns on my monitors

I use BackInTime (which is basically a front end for rsync) for backups, and I run one every night at 1 AM. This is on Linux Mint Cinnamon. If the computer is locked/the monitors have gone to sleep (computer isn't suspended), when the backup begins the monitors turn on, and will then stay on all night. I don't want to waste...

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware ( www.tomshardware.com )

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

I'd strongly recommend against that at this point since it will be useless without your Bitlocker key form the laptop's TPM.

When did you last check the statistic you just pulled from your ass? Bitlocker is on by default on all machines that support it, which is all pc's and laptops being sold the past few years.

The only exception used to be when you bypass oobe to create a local user account, which also isn't supported anymore.

The AI is paying more attention to your Slack messages than you are.

breakingcups ,

No, but they approximate it. Which is fine for most use cases the person you're responding to described.

Well, if you bothered reading into the second paragraph, you'd have more info:

UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider, and service was restored May 2.

So Google doesn't keep (unpaid) backups for it's clients, and the ones UniSuper paid for were deleted along with everything else.

This bot often is. It seems to only randomly cut out sentences and paragraphs. You'd think that with today's LLMs it would be possible to create something much better.

I was wondering why there were so many comments on a Lemmy post of a Linux kernel minor release...

Could nurse practitioners fill the primary care gap? ( www.theglobeandmail.com )

Nurse practitioners could help fill the void, advocates for the profession say, if more provinces would adopt policies to integrate them into primary care and pay them fairly for their work. Some physicians’ organizations have pushed back against that approach, arguing that NPs don’t have as much training or education as...

breakingcups ,

Maybe we should, as a society, make the profession of physician suitably attractive so that we don't have a huge shortage of qualified people motivated to do this job instead of having this generation's clever people working out how to make people watch more ads.

Welp, this is the most left field KilledByGoogle entry yet.

I highly recommend reading the Github thread as this is not at all an accurate representation. These features you're talking about are off by default. Removing them from the existing package is just breaking existing users. There's already a report from a user who can't access their passwords because yubikey support was suddenly removed. You don't do that to users just because you suddenly develop an opinion as a package maintainer that you feel is important. There was no dialogue, no consideration and a very rude, dismissive attitude of Julian.

Somehow it took this look back to make me realize that considering to spend 2000 dollars on a GPU is insane. I'm actually on a GTX 1080 now and I'll try to stick with it for as long as it's practical.

... Those LLM and SD urges still lurk though...

I mean, they never stopped, did they? This is what chip binning is and for chips, it makes a lot of economical and even ecological sense (since a chip where the yield is such that only 6/8 cores function properly can be sold as a lower-tier product without issue instead of being scrapped, for example)

It's also what made overclocking so popular.

Unless you and GP are referring to something else, of course. Wouldn't put it past Intel to be nefarious 😅

Do you clean the opening on your glass bottles?

Spouse and I have a discussion on what to do after you pour a sauce out of a glass bottle. I do nothing but my wife takes her finger and wipes the excess from the bottle before she puts the lid back on. I think touching the food is disgusting and she thinks leaving it there to gum up the lid is disgusting. What do people do?

breakingcups ,

Yes, but this way demand on instances scales with user count and aliows smaller instances to exist. Otherwise an errant toot on a small instance that suddenly gets popular will instantly drag that smaller instance down.

Of course it will, cloudflare is in front of it, they can definitely handje this traffic as long as itsfoss bothers to set correct caching headers for cloudflare to use. That's the entire point of cloudflare...
