Inhibit

I mean for future products. I'm not sure they'd care enough to patch up previous hardware. Just my personal opinion based on hardware manufacturers in general though.

Thanks for the link, that looks like it'll fit the bill whenever I scrounge up a vacuum.

Although I think trying to convince vendors they want less data seems a little naive. More likely they'll lock out work like this entirely to make sure the free floor maps of your house (and schedule, and pet presence, and...) keep coming.

The article's first paragraph proposes that "we" didn't understand that respiratory illness spreads through water droplets in the air.

I honestly doubt that was ever the case; it certainly makes everything else posited seem a bit orwellian.

Stuffed bears. Mainly.

I'd also like a citation.

What! I refuse to believe every American premises isn't wired for fibre. Since we've paid for it so many times. And required it in many lucrative exclusivity contracts.

Some of the spending, for instance: https://www.jsonline.com/in-depth/news/2021/07/14/weve-spent...

I'm not sure if this applies to the OP but I've known quite a few full or part time set musicians, instrument players, and similar performers who don't have a "following".

They're simply people who get paid for making music well. Often as part of a performance.

Promotion and marketing isn't generally what they do.

Unfortunately people who set prices are known to have to eat and seek shelter too. They're not some formless bogeyman.

People is the important word in the question.

I agree. That phrasing always gives me a moment of "9.1%? Is that vs. last month or last June?" before it kicks in and I realize it's YTD phrased in as sensational a way possible.

I enjoy writing and hate editing! There's always some problem.

You can. But the story would imply that all that money is in receivables; it's hard to seize a big pile of debt, I assume even in Europe.

So as it turns out the key to making Twitter less crap is leveraging Daniel Gackle clones.

And that's how Nintendo pulled their coup in the US games market.

They still had all those mediocre (as in long in the tooth) arcade games but also original games (full RPG and complex strategy) more like computer ports.

The dark horse contenders were the actual "general purpose" computers. That worked out well but took quite a bit longer to play out than the consoles in gaming popularity. Less accessible I suppose.

The nVidia Shield is the longest supported Android device in existence as far as I'm aware. And still moves a fair number of units.

"Massive failure" isn't exactly how I'd term that.

If it's only a frontend how does "we'll end our support for third-party apps, including Pidgin and Gajim" make sense? Just coinciding?

That's what made me assume it was a whole stack rather than interface to a backend.

This happens. I've had SDCards sitting in devices long enough unpowered that they required a format when spun back up.

Except that frogs, as (all? not a biologist) amphibians, have very good sensitivity to external temperature. Unlike humans.

My counter used an ATTiny. That was overkill for counting, likely.

I'm guessing an ESP of any stripe would be a low bar for measuring and networking a tube up.

AI War and the Dominions series (generally whatever release the latest one is) are my go-to for that type of engrossing gameplay.

True. I imagine Harvard has the necessary staff on hand to run a TLD themselves. Might make a good use for it.

It saves on labor. ZIP doesn't require an extra layer for impermeability of the OSB; just seal up the joints with acrylic tape and you're done.

Better? No idea. Although there might be less to screw up unless someone cost-saves by not installing the spec tape (it really is necessary).

Although I'd argue Muntz, becoming a verb, probably achieved what Crazy Eddie claimed to have done.

In a nutshell: Set up your VM (or whatever), harden the base against intrusion as needed (per the OS provider or application's recommendations) then set up your services following the given guide for a service.

BIND, NGINX, Postfix, Apache... they all have excellent documentation on setup and securing.

I'm curious which aspect your seeing as poorly documented. Perhaps some specificity would help others point you at a reference.

I had the chance to ruminate about wood burning recently during a conversation.

The conclusion I came to was that when there's few people and they're all manually whacking at wood with axes you're (as a group) okay. When the wood collection is essentially strip mining a forest for millions of customers it just isn't the same thing. Not really comparable.

Manual labor and using an axe is an efficient system in the sense that it ultimately limits use and production of wood per person.

No, thank you for making OpenSCAD better! It's always nice to read the process behind an improvement as well.

As the practical build here shows you simply need 15$ and one capable engineer. To be fair you'll also need something to tool a case out of, be it FDM or extractive machining.

Having owned a range of second hand junk laptops at the time I assure you they ran Linux just fine. As did new machines.

The rest is true enough and I'd add that there wasn't anything nearly as rugged at the price (used Toughbooks, or that style, were more expensive).

That looks like an awesome project but I'm not sure building an LFS system would help developing a system like that. Possibly in understanding and configuring it.

I still recall how to build a Linux system from go. Coding what you're working on up in Python/C would take a large unrelated amount of knowledge.

I wonder when the writeup is from... rne.com was online in 1997 pulling from wayback. So this post must've been earlier than that.

Fifth gen x86 processors were around 1994. So I'd guess earlier than that from the age of the machinery they're using.

But the 486 was seeing use in 1990. So after that but before 1994 would be my guess.

It's possible it was ongoing litigation at the time.

It doesn't mention which kind of tape. I'd be interested to know what they used.

Also it looks like they're referring to the VS100.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAXstation

I never had access to those but I'd conjecture from the post they might've used tape. There at least.

To be fair to the other end of the spectrum they might be crap at sanitizing Excel spreadsheets and automatically databasing the contained information. Not as sexy, but maybe not less useful.
