Using the igpu might be problematic for transcoding if you need that. I'd recommend older intel / Asus NUCs if you want a mini PC. 3 year warranty, built for Enterprise, tall version has room for a 7mm tall sata SSD or HDD along with nvme m.2 SSD.

I think if you do Asus 12gen + they have another m.2 slot though it is the smaller one 2242. Doing all this you can upgrade it to 64GB RAM, 8TB m.2 2280, 8TB SATA SSSD, and 1TB M.2 2242. In homelab especially with mini PCs the limit is usually RAM / storage rather than CPU.

I got 4 11th gen with 64 GB RAM each and 32TB of SSD storage. I recommend avoiding QLC SSD as much as possible. Aim for TLC , MLC, or SLC. Higher storage capacity tends to be QLC or TLC, QLC has shortest endurance and slowest speeds.

Not trying to discredit or anything but in #4 1 shot is surely good compared to emptying his clip, but shooting or aiming a gun at somebody, the intent can't be "non-lethal".

I believe it was a CSV file of every item in all of the shops (comma separated values) and it was being read and stored into memory single threaded so it was maxing out a single core on the CPU.

While the CEO didn't unfortunately and I'd consider that an injustice, the other 2 did.

Baugh was among seven former employees who ultimately pleaded guilty to charges in the case. He was sentenced in 2022 to almost five years in prison. Another former executive, David Harville, was sentenced to two years.

Security by obscurity the 100% least effective security measure! Wait what? MS left the government knowingly vulnerable for years for the shareholders?! That's some good security right there!

Found an article that details it again since it was a fun read at the time. Looks like it was 10MB json file and the method to read the lines used the expensive length function you mentioned. It also had other simple optimizations too.

Maybe this will be the one thing that will fix my ISP and let me play online video games without frequent disconnects. I think it's bad node or something, but I had my ISP at my house over 8 times and they couldn't figure it out. Meanwhile my unifi gateway shows a high ping at least once a day.

Go spectrum!

Reverse proxy and letsencrypt. Doing custom certificates is more difficult and you would need to install and trust the certificate on all devices.

The problem is they are banning a device that doesn't solve the issue at all except if you have a car from before the 90s. The tools being used for this are custom made with a much larger range. Maybe they should ban smartphones too since people are using them to detect laptops in cars to break into since they are being stupid about it.

With that many exploits being used I wouldn't be surprised to see it is a group probably government sponsored. They love iMessage exploits as original attack vectors too.

Legit $12k EVs would crush all competition right now. There are only a handful of EV cars under $50k. Perhaps instead of tarrifs pass privacy laws for cars and let them in so the other manufacturers stop bsing.

Toyotas still trying to push hydrogen for some lucrative non-eco friendly wild dream they have and keep pushing EV to the side it's so dumb.

If students can become potential liability that will make colleges only admit rich white kids and leave everybody else without an education. This falls under the category of make more people uneducated because that gets more Republican voters.

That being said parts of this bill is attractive. I like itemized breakdowns of what I am paying for for anything.

Honestly I believe it. I had a VP of sales / marketing overriding requirements making them more difficult from the CEO after getting screamed at by the CEO who wanted the product (bono project) to be quick and easy for initial release.

He also ordered IT garbage for a site once (consumer PCs running Windows not server edition)

And to top it all off went behind supervisors backs in engineering departments asking for daily spreadsheets trackong their time because "if you can go to the bathroom you have time for this.

All leadership was toxic though like the CEO screaming at him lol.

Its using OpenID so yes it would support those. But it would support a lot of others as well. Authelia, keycloak, and authentik are a few examples that are open source and self hostable. Its nice to have SSO for all your services even in a homelab.

Wouldn't this get as hot as cars do when sitting in summers?

Isn't this because the minimum SDK level increase requirement in the play store and android 14? This gets rid of older Lapis that are less efficient or secure from modern apps. The benchmarking tools haven't targeted newer APIs and are thus the ones at fault. Devs need to keep their stuff updated; that's half the point of the beta period every year for the major version releases.

I believe this is one of those Google "F it I am going to make this protocol my own way without anyone else's input" which results in security concerns and also Mozilla prioritizes it being a browser more.

Searching serial looks like this is still the case. There are security and privacy concerns over it.

https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/

Servo is an active project still just not owned by Mozilla.

I didn't confirm it but saw a comment when there was only one level left. They mentioned how to download them and make them playable as your own offline stage. They also mentioned you can download an archive of all the levels about 1 TB of data. The level has 2 or 3 files for each one if I recall correctly.

Edit: found archive link. The process to do it for one levels not automated but from what I read so someone will likely make a tool around the time it actually shuts down. https://archive.org/details/smm_levels

Article said they were using Bluetooth and a app on play store / app store I assume the app measures the signal strength to determine the proximity to the devices. Maybe some laptops don't turn off Bluetooth in their sleep state or people just weren't putting their laptops to sleep? Could pickup tablets or phones forgotten in cars too.

DDOS = denial of service attack. Attacker sends a bunch of requests overloading a service and causing other clients to experience.timeouts due to the service not being.abe.to.handle the load.

It requires a certain security software installed on windows. Yes it is still going on since IT admins have to boot into safe mode to fix it.

"If you'd like to set a timer with a specific time, please subscribe to Amazon timer unlimited. You have a trial available, would you like to activate your free trial?"

Looks like tesla offers a premium subscription for most things and a separate one for the fancy cruise control... So I assume you have an old model or your being a troll?

Generally it should be stored in the security chip on the device so no one has access to it.

Your issue sounds more like a capitalism issue. FANG companies lay off thousands of employees to cut costs and prepare for changes in the economy. AI didn't make them lay off all those employees, just corporate greed. Until AI can gather requirements, accurately produce code with at least 80%, can compile the software itself, it isn't a threat.

Edit fix autocorrect

I appreciate the disturbing sensory you have brought upon my mind kind stranger. I hope your nose recovers one day.

I don't think so, but it was in response to some smart people developing their government website with the database stored basically in the HTML of the website if I remember correctly. A good Samaritan reported it and was basically charged with hacking the state.

From past posts on this apparently it's common for lead contamination in Apple orchards due to pesticides used years ago. If this is the source I don't think it was on purpose.

A quick article I found discussing this topic

Lidarr to download music, has Spotify playlist integration, only problem is it pulls by alblum not by song.

LMS to play music, it supports selecting tags to use.

Picard to tag the music. Kinda optional, but using plugins it can pull genre, moods, and BPM, which I liked using to make a smart playlist to get songs I like the sound of without 100% hand picking out of thousands.

I prefer my cars with quality testing, hardware that is not consumer grade that lasts more than a year, and mechanical doors so if the battery dies after buckling a kid in the car seat they aren't trapped in the vehicle with the only option to smash the window. I'd love to live in fear with no guarantee the steering wheel won't fall off while I'm driving on the highway.

You can't escape...

They hardly even do it when paid for others in the US at least. Gotta love bare minimums and lobbying to make those minimums really low.

Not a problem! Jack used car prices up to new cars, prevent public infrastructure and provide benefits for cars, all car manufacturers have similar privacy policies. Combine all three and you have customers that need a car to live, might as well get a new one if decade old ones are the same price or have no stock, and suddenly there isn't much choice.

Always always leave a trail when possible. Email would be the best bet for an audit trail. After calling / conversatin, do a follow-up email to keep the audit trail and confirming what was discussed

I want them to write an actual KOSA bill that would introduce privacy laws and would prevent this stuff. But nah it's more like Kill Online Safety Act and do nothing about the real problems.

Valve also worries about relying on Microsoft. They want people to transition to Linux since it's open and no corporation can go "all games have to go through my store for 30% commission!" The proton fixes that these clients make Valve can also probably utilize to also make and I'm sure the devs for these also contribute to proton so it's a win for everyone.

Denver seems to be leading America with a lot of these good things. Upfront labor wage policies, marijuana, this. Looking at those mountains is also a plus.

Those disappearing messages aren't just fun - they're actually helping protect your privacy by not keeping your data around forever.

I highly doubt this is true.
