Imagine trying to navigate the patent minefield when developing something like a modem

I feel it has already happened.. people check social media, but I hardly see any created content anymore (status updates etc).. just reposted stuff from gullible people that they thought was magic but was just AI created rubbish.

The only thing I use social media for is purchasing items from hobby groups and I can’t see that being replicated anywhere anytime soon as eBay is full of fake rubbish

This guy seems like a bit of a dickhead

If I look at what Windows 11 is, its features and the new features, I honestly can’t work out who Microsoft’s target market is anymore.

With the pricing for AI, I can’t even work out which enterprises would consume it.

The answer is nearly going to always be ‘your data’ and loyalty

Visually, you cannot beat the Darth/Luke battle scene in the carbonite freezing chamber in ESB.. it is like art. The orange and the blue are so beautiful

If I have already purchased a copy of the physical media, I don’t think it is piracy to acquire a digital copy of the same media for personal use

Your work sounds like it has no IT Security department and no HR department

Lemme guess.. they are worried companies are using it to train ai, so better close it off so they control access to it

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary..

People will go where the content is.. all it will take is one massive event where Lemmy is the source

over the last 15 years or so I would have spent $10k on mattresses of all types.. inner spring, micro spring, full latex, a mix of above.. all end up with body indentations that cause back pain. In the end I bought a cheap mattress in a box (Koala Brand) that is hard as a brick and a latex topper, it has been wonderful

lol.. where do I start?

Eyes, went from being able to read the tiniest font to not being able to read a large font book in about 2 years.

2 knee surgeries

Getting up to pee 2x a night

Not that I am interested in one, but if I was after something that Meta sold, I would buy something else

I am glad I have never made a mistake at work lol. Every time I see a rule or a warning sign I think back to what caused it. Let’s hope the 6yo getting put on a plane without his family fixes something so it doesn’t happen again

I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM.. it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm

Your country seems inches away from imploding :0/

If he loses again, what is to stop him trying again in 2028?

Sounds like they just asked every donor for their top unhinged priority and said yep..

Pretty sure DNS is 53 UDP. Not sure if you meant it like that.

Port 53 TCP is for dns zone transfers

I have been using Jdownloader2 for years.. I don’t know what the differences are, but might be an option for people who want something GUI based

I will probably continue to buy new cars as I can spend my hard earned on whatever I want. Everyone’s financial situation, wants and needs are different… you shouldn’t bundle everyone else into your opinion.

That said, I wouldn’t buy a car that has a feature that I need locked behind a subscription.. I would just buy one that suits. I am not loyal to any particular brand so I don’t care.

‘…never heard of him’

Or tinnitus

For me it was Wonder Woman 1984. I thought the first one was pretty good and the trailer for the second looked like it was something I was going to enjoy.. I was wrong

yeah they do, they are just frothing as what that means for the bullshit that they peddle

I just realised that I probably wouldn’t realise it was strange, I might have to ask someone who knows me

Knight Rider, The A-Team, MacGyver

Honorable mentions to Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy, Magnum, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, TJ Hooker, Manimal, Automan etc

What a time to be a kid

I am sure more will be sold than manufactured

You think a multi trillion dollar company is just winging it from a legal standpoint? Or do you think they have worked with the EU to develop the policy within a hair of what they are actually required to do?

Honestly.. Google Play.. someone re-gifted my son a $20 Google Play card a few years ago, and I tried to buy something for him and realised the card was about 2weeks out of date, and after about 10 back and forwards with support, they wouldn’t honour it.. a trillion dollar company. I get it, but their cold indifference just seemed mean

Love can hurt too.. I am going through a rough patch at the moment and I sometimes wish I never knew love because the pain of losing it is the worst pain in the world.. I don’t think that helps you much, but it is another side

Honestly, social media.. Facebook is just absolutely full of bullshit meme's for every type of occasion, and clicking on a single one sends people down that rabbithole. Eg.. Say a person has a breakup with a person who exhibits some narcissistic traits and then relates to a meme about it and clicks on it (or pause too long), next minute the feed is full of gender hating memes, groups and pages to feed that part of the brain, and I think it is incredibly unhealthy. It just seemed a lot easier to meet people before heads were filled with social media influence

I have never even seen one (Australian)
