I'm not one of the maniacs making threats of any kind, but honestly it really seems like death threats are the only thing that gets any attention anymore, so I can understand why it's done...
Is "eat the rich" not a death threat in its own right?

Just more nonsense showing how broken modern copyright is. It's too hard to write weasely legalese to just say you have the right to reproduce content submitted to your website, you have to own it entirely. And if you own it, why not sell it?
I'm kind of surprised RED is still small enough and Nikon is still big enough for this to happen. In my mind I expected them to have a thousand+employees
"Responsible reporting" is for security vulnerabilities... It's extremely hard for me to believe that jailbreaks like this should be considered security vulnerabilities, especially if it's something local-only or otherwise limited to something only the owner of the device would feasibly be able to do.
Does anyone believe the portable is actually a more secure device now than it was before this patch?
Arch-user in the image said they were a "completely cis dude" and would hit that button, then replied to themselves (~1 day later) calling herself "she" - implying they became(?) trans within that time period. The final response is from another person, incredulous at the short timeline between "completely cis" and trans
If the rise time isn’t 0, it’s not a square wave.
And if that's your definition then there's no such thing as a real square wave.
Just like no physical objects can have a perfectly square corner, there will always be some radius, even if it's just 1 atom
The reason making a true square wave is hard is that there are physical properties of real life electrical components that prevent voltage (or current) from changing instantly. Similar to how we can't instantly accelerate a mass from 0 to some speed, it's physically impossible. The faster you try to do it, the harder it is due to inertia. In electronics, there's always natural capacitance and inductance slowing things down. If you want a 10v square wave, you have to push some amount of electrons through some amount of capacitance and inductance and that, while it can be very fast, is never instant.
This gets posted occasionally and while I agree, the subscription for an airbag is one of the dumbest things ever, it's not the only way to buy the thing.
It's available as a one-time purchase instead, which obviously is what everyone here would choose, but it's a fairly high price, and their argument for offering a subscription model is that they want the price barrier for safety equipment to be lower. There are other ways to do it, but the option of a subscription is fine IMO as long as the one time purchase remains as well.
This is the recycle bin, not trash.
Apple apparently has the rights to call something "trash" and didn't like that windows was doing the same.
And who's got boxers tight enough and pants loose enough that they'd have the boxers stay up when the pants come down? I've been pantsed and the undies definitely went with the pants
"Chun Li - Fortnight" makes me sad. Chun Li is from Street fighter.
It's like if they said "Pikachu - Super Smash Bros" instead of Pokemon or something, or Samus - Super Smash Bros
He already said it once
Sure used to be that way but modern day Etsy is flooded with drop shippers selling AliExpress stuff
Morally and legally, yes
More than likely someone moved signage from the school supplies section to here as a joke. There's 0% chance Walmart would allow this
Cloudflare isn’t bad per se, but having huge amounts of the public internet behind a centralized provider is bad for the flexibility and resiliency of the internet as a whole.
Nintendo online is a lot like Xbox live. You can play single player without it (generally) but have to pay to get online/multiplayer
yes, you can have multiple accounts on the switch each with their own save, without paying for online for all/any of them.
I don't know if I'd guarantee that. Who knows what dumb services things rely on. If you want something that'll work maybe consider a more open ecosystem like that of the steam deck or its competitors
Half the time they were lying anyway :(
Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex
Some that I run that you don't seem to have anything for:
Almost as though it would be better if it didn't
More unconstitutional garbage
Reading this makes me want to try gentoo again...
Skype was wild with how aggressively it tried to create a direct connection. I love it for its tenacity but it would do things like open up listening sockets on common server ports (so it would conflict with e.g. a webserver) which drove me nuts at the time
Seems like it'll be cold
Almost none. I browse all almost exclusively and have nsfw enabled, but none of the communities really bother me enough to block them. I just scroll past the stuff that I don't have any interest in, same as sfw content.
Best era of the Internet was before the DMCA. At the time it passed I knew it would kill a lot of my favorite things about the Internet and I sadly wasn't wrong
You sure did. It's a clause that describes one reason to support the idea that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. It's not a limiting statement on the right to bear arms and how it should be infringed.
The intent of the amendment is and always has been that of self protection - the government is not responsible for protecting your person, you are. The tools you use to protect yourself are called arms. The right to have, carry, and use those tools isn't granted to us by the government, it's an inalienable right inherent to being human.
There are already massive restrictions within the state of California on who can carry a firearm either concealed or open, where firearms can be carried, and how they can be carried. These new regulations are not intended to improve the public safety, they're intended to prevent those who have already jumped through countless hoops registering, proving themselves, and gaining explicit authorization to carry weapons, from exercising their right to self defense and from being able to choose how they can protect themselves. It's intended to make us more dependent on a police force that continues to prove itself ineffective and largely corrupt.
No children are being saved by this law.
I have done this with dozens of drives and have never had to do any pin blocking. You only need to do that if you're using an absolutely ancient sata power cable that doesn't know about the spinup pin change
Fucking exactly this. We have levels of corruption, inequality, poverty, etc on par with countries like Brazil but our violence stats are compared with countries like Norway.
Nobody should be okay with taking away personal defense options when every day we see corrupt, inept, and abusive police officers with guns that we should apparently depend on instead of ourselves with guns. It's absurd.
It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask "how do you ensure data isn't leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?" If you say "here's a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here's our log of decomissioned equipment" chances are very good they'll say "OK great let's move on to the next one" with only minor followup questions.
AV1 and VP9 are likely going to be your highest efficiency "free" codecs. AV1 is the way to go if you mean free as in free open source. It's not very likely to be implemented in many TVs or set-top-boxes, but VLC/ffmpeg will be able to decode any of these. Webm uses vp8 or VP9 which are "free"(made by Google) but it's just more specific settings for sharing online/viewing in browser.
H264/H265 has license fees for non-free software and hardware, but they will be your most widely supported option. H265 is approximately twice as efficient as h264 (meaning you can get the same quality of encode from half the file size).
Regardless of preset I think you can get handbrake to encode something reasonable from any of these codecs. Especially with DVD video you'll be able to crank through videos with modern high efficiency codecs
What a very weirdly phrased statement
RAID for uptime, backups for data you care about. RAID(1+) will keep your data online when a disk fails, but backups are the real way to keep data around if shit hits the fan. For a personal media collection, you might be better served with a non resilient RAID0 (total failure if one drive fails) with a backup around to recover from when that happens. If you do e.g. a raid5 you lose 1 disk of capacity in exchange for 1 disk of resiliency, raid6 same but 2 disks. That gives you some safety but there are a lot of instances where those raids don't save you from losing all your data. If you buy 4x 18TB drives, you could have 36TB from the 1st two drives and then backup to the other two drives.
There's no specific type of drive to worry about unless you're doing RAIDs especially with ZFS. Search shingle RAID rebuild for the biggest thing to worry about there.
Almost always, yes. Slow drives throttle the rest.
I've never used them but people say good things about synology most of the time. Everything comes with a cost and it's hard to make any sensible recommendations without knowing your constraints; primarily your budget.
Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!
A better question is what are you achieving? Voting against your own interests
Does anything even use thunderbolt 4's bandwidth? About the only thing I've seen is external GPUs and even that is a ludicrously niche use case.
I'd be much more excited about a post about something using TB4 to its fullest. All I can think reading this title is "who cares?" Is someone going to make a reasonably priced and even remotely convenient 40gbps ethernet card for TB5? No. Do my NVME drives go past 40gbps? Generally not, but I could've seen use for fast drives plugged into tb4/5 at least. Is anyone using TB4/5 for datacenter interconnects where this speed would actually be useful? I doubt it.
Does anyone reading this post use tb4 on a daily basis and feel limited in any way?
In a way I agree, there has to be a major deterrent for this level of negligence. That said, "ruin their life" isn't IMHO the right way to go. I'd be happier if they kept living a productive life, but they'd better be supporting the people who depend on me.
You want them to learn their lesson but how do you do that without ruining lives? How do you do it before they kill two people? I think that level of change has to be governmental and even cultural. Reducing dependence on cars, increasing how seriously driving is taken, etc
What a lot of whataboutism. I'm against all of that, too, but I can also be against limits on my rights of self defense.
It is neither amperes per hour nor watts per hour. Those imply division (1 watt, over two hours, would be 1/2 a watt per hour. Useless as a unit for most of us). Ah and Wh are amps or watts multiplied by hours, pronounced as amp-hours or watt-hours (1 watt, for 2 hours, would be 2 watt-hours)
I seem to remember that yes, it was even for low voltage data cabling.
Not that I would imagine anyone's enforcing it strongly
I hate how people mix up correlation and causation with JC Penney and it's couponless trial. The company was ALREADY very much on a fast track to bankruptcy when it decided to try removing coupons - that's why they tried it. It didn't make enough of a difference to pull them out of the nosedive they were in.
It's not that not doing coupons doesn't work, it just didn't save a failing business.
