But once it’s recompiled it runs so smooth.

I think they’re just saying that if you’re a multi billionaire and get a 50% net worth fine, you’re still a billionaire once it’s done.

So this makes Amazon, Microsoft and Google jumping on board the nuclear energy train. Meta would have to be the next domino surely?

I can see where you got watch from looking at the picture as a thumbnail rather than a full image!

Probably had leftover screens after they stopped making the 3DS and wanted to use them for something.

For most of my internal services that are sitting behind Traefik I use step-ca which basically gives you a Let’s Encrypt style certificate while working over the local network. The root CA has a long expiry (so might not be what you want if your goal Is a short lived root CA) but the actual certificates for each service are short lived (a touch over 24 hours from memory?)

Capitalism?

I saw a similar comment in the last week or so (might have been on TikTok?) but it was specifically Japanese court that they’d said they’d never lost in. I don’t know if it’s accurate though, took it at face value and didn’t really think much about it.

I created an SMS to Email gateway back in 2011 when data was still expensive on phones and I was trying to see if I could turn an iPod Touch into an iPhone. (I was a poor student at the time, was trying to find ways to save money 😅)

Basically I had a 3G modem plugged into a Linux server that could receive the messages, a prepaid SIM card with a long life credit expiry, a domain name set up with unknown email address capturing, and some tools to handle the actual SMS part.

At the time I published the scripts I used online and apparently they’re still online 😅 This is on Whirlpool which is an Australian telecommunications forum.

But wait, most people are going to plug these bricks into their phones or tablets, yeah? Those have data connections we could surely piggy back off so rather than a one time or irregular phone home we could have real time data on where the cables are and how they’re being used. And we can release an app they run on their device to capture that information that shows a nice pretty dashboard of when they charge their devices, how much power they use, etc.

We then use that as the justification to move the entire product range to a monthly subscription instead of a yearly one. We can even remove the sharing restrictions to begin with, and then add them back later with a family tier, and eventually prevent cables from being away from the registered home base for a predetermined length of time.

We could then add an upgrade tier for those that do need to use their cables in other locations.

…Is this the kind of logic that goes through their heads?

See the problem here is the price. At $30/yr that’s worth considering. The problem is they’d charge $30/mth.

That good advice, thank you, will definitely give that a shot!

I have Ventoy on a USB stick, tried to use it recently for DBAN and it didn’t work, is there any way to get around that these days? Haven’t looked into it recently.

Oh, I missed them having to backpedal on that! That’s good news.

Isn’t Safari WebKit which is different again? Or is that a chromium base as well? (I realise you can’t exactly choose Safari unless you have Apple stuff, but I thought it was its own thing).

We’ve had a McDonalds getting dragged over the coals this week for using the chip warmers to dry a dirty mop head. The McMop has been doing the meme rounds as a result.

I have a sneaking suspicion when Google’s AI eventually surfaces the story in a search they’re probably not going to mention that fact though.

So if they were basically regurgitating Reddit already, does that mean they were using AI before it was cool? They might have just used the Amazon approach to AI (I.e., why use technology when we can throw a bunch of minimum workers at the problem).

I didn’t know Bluetooth cassettes were a thing, although if I think about it then of course they are. What’s the sound quality like?

Oh crap. I shouldn’t have said there was a meeting. Oh crap. I definitely shouldn’t have said it was a secret. Oh crap. I absolutely should not have said it was to reserve all our 2nm chip capacity.

Oh, it’s too hot today.
