100%, this is a trap being set for retail investors... not touching this even if I had a 1000ft pole.

it's also a big FU to everyone accessing Gmail's web interface over geostationary satellite internet connections. i had to deal with that shit for a few months and HTML mode was the only way to ease the pain from how bad the latency can get. the "normal" view would hang like a mofo all the time.

ILS :-)

But you have to trust the instruments and not become disoriented, takes lots of training and practice.

I think you mean McDonnell Douglas, it's what happens when companies fire all the engineers in charge and replace them with beancounters.

so hear me out... not a popular opinion by any stretch of the imagination.. but the real reason manufacturers are doing this is because of how much RF spectral splatter EVs put out (think inverters/switching noise, computers, etc) and it's bad news for ham radio operators that use AM/SSB bands. it's cheaper to ignore the problem than it is to EMI shield everything to reduce the noise floor low enough so that the AM receiver works in the car, otherwise you'll hear a bunch of static/popping/whining from the EV electronics that make the AM radio effectively useless. a similar concern that has since gone away was the battle over BPL [broadband over powerline] for the same reasons in that power lines would be effectively big antennas radiating crap in the AM bands. personally, i'm in favor of keeping AM around if it forces these manufacturers to follow proper EM shielding practices, but again... minority opinion for my own selfish reasons. the FCC doesn't give a shit about ham radio, so it's not looking good.

Don't let it fool you, they'll make exceptions to the rule for the ones they want to keep. This is just a way to make their "worst" performers miserable so they quit instead of laying them off. All the shit tech companies are doing it.

We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn't stop to think if we should.

and from what i remember, staying true to typical google fashion, they fucked it up by not opening up the "beta" when they had a critical mass forming behind it. then only to force everyone into having a profile a year or whatever later. lol, too late. i think most of us understood that anything associated with google is assumed to be a never-ending "beta", so no idea what they were thinking or waiting for.

TSMC

edit: downvote all you want, the fundamental circuit level design is not in question here... it's how you make the damn thing and TSMC can do it better. intel talks a big game yet continues to fail on delivering any of it. i'll believe half of what they say when i see it... and it helps that good ol' uncle sam is helping them out, they're gonna need it.

The Fly... fuck.

Linux 6.6.6 LTS (Lucifer's Terminal Sacrifice)

kbin.run admin here, i'm curious if this cert problem is still happening as i recently loosened up some of my super strict bot killing mechanisms... give it a shot again and DM me if it still doesn't work so i can try to figure out what's going on.

as for the name... yea, i should have named it something different. at the time, kbin was the only horse in town and the intent was to help alleviate some traffic from .social before the foundation took over to run it on their cluster... then things fell apart. unfortunately, i can't rehome it to a new domain because it will break federation of all existing content, accounts, etc.

Haven't looked up the station's license to see how much power they could have been pushing, but if I were the "authorities", I'd definely be checking local hospitals for records of anyone coming in with mild to severe [RF] burns. With [low frequency] AM stations, the tower itself is basically the other half of the antenna electrically... probably lit them up like a Christmas tree.

some of us have moved over to mbin, it's a fork of kbin with an emphasis on community driven development. i've already migrated kbin.run over. ActivityPub is very domain name specific once things federate out, so i'm sticking with kbin in the domain...for now.

they want that sweet IPO pump and dump. when he sells, you'll know it's time to short the shit out of it. and that's if it even happens at this rate, fidelity might up and say fuck you and cut them again, who knows.

i'm almost certain there's a hentai like this

i know this is for the lols, but you'd be surprised how often stuff like this happens... bodge wires and dead bugging it are much cheaper than re-spinning a board/IC. anything to get the boss off your back, just make sure to give your technicians a case of beer/beverage of choice for the extra effort fixing your fuck up.

@MrKaplan@lemmy.world pointed out that after reviewing the html source there's a link to this https://github.com/Linuzifer/domain_seizure.... looks like a joke or a hack.

we're "spread" out on purpose to avoid becoming an unwieldy behemoth like kbin.social...

Don't worry, it's just a friendly meeting with the Bobs

no, we maintainers (~6 active out of 13 total) have full merge power and admin rights over the repo, all it takes is 1 other maintainer to approve a PR for it to be eligible to get merged into our main branch... C4 ftw https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/C4.md.

mbin is a very recent fork (has all the latest commits from the kbin dev branch as of today), so not much of anything "new" or groundbreaking has happened yet. i think the main thing right now is catching up on the backlog of PRs that have been stuck in the kbin queue for months, even basic things like bumping the dependency versions to improve package security was enough to convince me to move my instance over.

hi, kbin.run admin here, i wanted to confirm that the 429 and 500s you're seeing are not on kbin.run but fedia.io? thanks!

and it's not an easy problem to solve. proper EMI mitigation is a super tough engineering problem that you can make an entire career out of (and make good money doing so). there are so many sneak paths that can pop up that it turns into a constant game of whack-a-mole... simple things like applying a piece of tape to a cable harness next to a metal plate can either make the product pass or fail a radiated emissions spec....it's crazy. and the automotive industry is so behind in the latest tech, the whole chip shortage thing during covid was because they're using way outdated process nodes that no one wants to invest money in. don't get me wrong, my fellow EEs in automotive do a good job given what they have to deal with, but they don't have the experience in RF like us cellular/radio guys... obviously.

it would have been perfection if they had done this last thursday (on 4/04), add another fail to the list.

And just so happens to be the same pesky thing people refuse to read, color me surprised. 🙄

Hello Mr. Yakamoto and welcome back to the GAP!

Dave Plummer has a very interesting take on this since he was the dev manager for Windows CD Autorun at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqWjq2SdzpI

you flux the fluxing flux out of it

Then you must have had a good time.

Mbin's API is 100% compatible with kbin as of today, so @hariette should have little to no issues pointing Artemis at Mbin instances.

omg me too... a much nerdier friend of mine told me to install Gentoo on my first custom build back in the early aughts. printed out the guide and spent over a week 24/7 compiling everything with an athlon 64 3500+... and had never used Linux before this... good times, man.

meh, it still has some use. my dog tore up the plastic housing on garage door sensors out of boredom and there was no way i was calling a local place to quote out parts for a 14 year old opener... found the same pair of sensors (albeit used) on ebay for $25. a little dog proofing later and bingo bango, back in business. but usually it's my last resort for obscure stuff that i can't find anywhere else and i have to be really desperate.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

we're making it super easy for any existing kbin instance to migrate to Mbin, just a matter of pointing git at the new repo, pull, and update as usual.
