The speed difference between my brand new 7200rpm 20TB HDD and a random ass sata SSD is still astounding. Sequentially the HDD is only half as slow. But booting an OS or loading files the HDD is maybe a 10th the speed. Small sequential files is where SSDs shine, especially when it comes to high end NVME drives. That’s why iops are always included in benchmarks.

Windows on an HDD takes like 1-2 minutes to boot. A sata SSD is closer to 30 seconds, and a high end NVME drive is like 10 seconds.

I love booting up servers. 95% of the boot process is spent on the ram check. 4% is spent on the actual bios things, and 1% is actually booting the OS.

Even on my home server (a desktop with 64 gigs of ram) the ram check takes longer than the OS.

They argue that Musi is a ‘parasitic’ app that doesn’t compensate creators or rightsholders.

We turn it off in our office. It doesn’t benefit us.

You could also make the argument that ipv4 through NAT is better for privacy since it obfuscate what, and how many devices are connected to where.

And they should be. Toyota spent so long fighting against EVs instead of embracing them that they could become irrelevant in less than 20 years.

China is heavily subsidizing their EV production. US and Japanese car makers are sitting on their hands and bitching to their government to keep the Chinese vehicles out.

To know what features people are using, how fast it's running, know what hardware and where it's being used, and to try to investigate crashing issues? Telemetry doesn't only mean knowing where you live or who you're banging.

Crime has been trending downwards for decades now. We had a bump around the pandemic for fairly obvious reasons, but it's been back to trending downwards again.

What a disgrace to know Kabosu as "the face of Dogecoin"

Caller ID has existed since the 90s. This is just the modern version of it.

Not water baloons, but some companies will cut off your water if you're sharing it with a neighbor. (especially if that neighbor had their water cut off for not paying a bill)

I prefer to start conversations at the range with “ya ever tried riding a dick while high?” It really kickstarts things.

No, it’s just a bug. Apple Music likes to just kinda randomly fuck up and stop playing an album. Especially with streaming. Even legit Apple Music the streaming service will do this shit from time to time. It’s almost flawlessly on iPhone but sucks balls on Mac OS and Windows.

You also can't leave bad reviews if you return an item.

I bought an item that had issues, wanted to return it and the seller accused me of sending back in a different item. Once I got ebay involved I got them to approve the return, but like a day later I got a message from the seller that I assume he meant to send to someone else accusing them of trying to scam them as well. I almost wanted to eat the $40 so I could leave the bad review, but I know ebay would just remove it or something.

You can have audits done on proprietary software. Just because the public can't see it doesn't mean nobody else can.

Entire drive/array backups will probably be by far the largest file transfer anyone ever does. The biggest I've done was a measly 20TB over the internet which took forever.

Outside of that the largest "file" I've copied was just over 1TB which was a SQL file backup for our main databases at work.

They’re trying to build their own segregated social media community. I think federation is literally the last thing they want to do.

There’s also value in not basing your image compression algorithm on a low resolution scan of a magazine from the 1970s.

I don't understand why companies keep putting such small batteries in laptops. Especially in the 16" laptop, anything less than 90 is just not acceptable in something that actually costs real money and isn't an ultra thin device. Cheap garbage? Fine. You get what you pay for. Starting at $1700 pre built? No.

You'd also probably lose a whole lot more processing power trying to stop the crawlers vs just letting them have API access with some sort of limit to queries.

Truth social is just mastodon. I'd be surprised if there weren't more like that.

Is it the phone, or the social media? The article only really mentions social media as the real issue.

Subsequently, does that mean social media on a computer is 100% A-OK? (this is a mobile phone carrier so it makes sense that they'd only focus on phones)

What happened to sub $1000 phones?

They still exist, just don't buy the "Pro Max" model. The iPhone 15 is $800 and the 15 Plus is $900

Nice try FBI.

Even was told now companies use “AI” to filter out resumes before a human even sees it.

Companies have been doing this for 20+ years. The only thing new about it is that they stuck "AI" on the label.

That's the key. can. It needs to not suck by default. If people have to tweak the program to be usable first then nobody's going to want to use your program.

State police said body camera video and other information tied to the case is not immediately being released to “protect the integrity of the legal process.”

Uh huh. "Integrity"

I think the key is a lot of people don't want to pay for porn. And in the case of deep fakes, it's stuff they literally cannot pay money to get.

Those are all just skins on safari. Until like 6 months ago you couldn't install any web browser with a renderer other than safari. And that's only in the EU.

You don't really have much of a choice in the high end laptop world. Maybe this will be enough to push manufacturers to put AMD CPUs into high end workstations. I'd kill for a Thinkpad P1 with AMD.

And sometimes even if you own the game it uses some licensed software that prevents you from releasing it without going through every single line and scrubbing every reference.
