Wouldn’t those corporations just purchase the commercial license MongoDB offers, though?

"I also think there's a misinterpretation that alternatives to cars means nobody should drive anywhere"

From reading the comments on this thread and the other regularly posted ones, I don't think that's a misinterpretation at all.

Too bad they didn’t throw in a Person of Interest joke :(

Still, it’s a neat project!

The Apple USB-C dongle is actually pretty well regarded as an inexpensive step up from onboard audio for “normal” headphones, and some folks will use it as a starter DAC to pair with an amp for less “normal” headphones …

“The regulation actually says that cables can no longer be bundled with the devices themselves”

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned that. Oh my god, tech social media is going to melt down when that kicks in if the reaction to chargers being excluded is any indication (not to mention a repeat of the shift from 30-pin to Lightning in Apple’s case, except now without a cable).

It’s a HN thread on an article about the problems with ________; I’m not sure what else you expected :)

Someone wake me up when I don't have to pay for a PO box to avoid having to announce my address to everyone within listening range - maybe my own license will still be active by then.

Open your own repair shop and you can get all the schematics you want![1] If you're not a repair shop, enjoy your FRU replacement?

I'm not sure PC is the greatest example of your thesis anymore given that a lot of major releases are protected by Denuvo.

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? For example, https://old.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/qkd9xe/s...

I stuck an Apple Magic Trackpad between the two key wells of my Kinesis Advantage, and you can do the same with any similarly split keyboard. Having it below the spacebar like a laptop may be a bit harder/less comfortable though just because of the larger size of everything.

Have worked fine for a damn long time with the caveat of wayland, including the last time I ran desktop Linux with my old 2060.

In a pinch you can play FLACs using the built-in Files app, actually. Still better off using a different playback app for any long listening, though.

They actually do start an audible alarm after being separated from their owner, starting sometime between 8 and 24h after separation. I don’t know the interval though.

What problems did you even run into that would cause you to lose a whole weekend? If we’re dealing with anecdata, I never had an experience that bad even when having to use bumblebee/primusrun/etc on a laptop; my last desktop Linux install was with an RTX 2060 and it was pretty much painless using X.

Also, it’s not defaulting to installing the driver anyways - as described in the article and its sources, what Fedora is actually planning to do is to change GDM’s udev rules to select the Wayland session by default if the proprietary drivers are running.

Yes - the TPM isn’t a Windows-only thing. For example: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module

… but Apple’s chargers have been USB on the charger side for ages (previously USB-A, currently USB-C). The easy availability of chargers that work with the phones did little to stop the complaints when they were unbundled.

If and when Apple is forced to allow other app stores (and Google is forced to give them the same abilities and privileges as their own), the wailing and gnashing of teeth when “competition” ends up like the much derided state of PC gaming will be hilarious. At least there’s the login with google/Apple ID thing and OS level restrictions on program privileges?

You already answered your own question :) The press release is from the group filing the lawsuit on behalf of Stephen, and they of course want to portray their client in the most beneficial way possible. Replacing “citizen” with “veteran” in the headline is a great way to play on that veneration.

If you trust python-vipaccess[0], you can use it to provision the token to load into your preferred TOTP app. It’s not a supported method but if you (or someone coming across this later) want to use another app it’s an option :) From WilsonHammer on Reddit[1]:

1) Install pip, a python package manager, using your OS package manager.

2) Install python-vipaccess by executing `pip install --user python-vipaccess`

3) Execute `vipaccess provision -p -t VSMT` - this will print out all the information needed. Note the Symantec ID (it looks like VSMT12345678). It is what goes in the "Credential ID" field when adding a new device on Schwab's website.

4) Save the `otpauth://...` data into data.txt.

4.5) (Optional) Modify the `issuer=Symantec` parameter to read `issuer=Charles%20Schwab` Also change `VIP%20Access:VSMT123456789` to your Schwab online banking username. These are purely aesthetic changes and will only make a difference in the label that shows up in the Google Auth app.

5) Install qrencode using your OS package manager.

6) Execute `qrencode.exe -o qr.png -s 15 < data.txt` to generate the QR image (qr.png) from your otpauth data file. The -s 15 scales how many pixels wide a QR block is in the image (in this case, 15).

7) Scan the QR image (qr.png) with your google auth app.

8) Go to Schwab -> Service -> Security Center -> Manage Two-Step Verification -> Add another Security Token and input the Symantec ID from step 3 (it looks like VSMT12345678) and the current rolling TOTP code from the Google Auth App. (If you use Authy you may have to type it manually)

… Nvidia did release lower end cards that target the same market and price point as the 6600 XT a lot earlier than AMD though - as far as MSRP goes the 3060 and 3060 Ti bracket the 6600 XT’s $380 at $329 and $399 (not that MSRP means a thing right now) and similarly brackets performance, and even the MSRP was not received well in conjunction with the 1080p marketing. Both manufacturers have basically told the mid and low range market to buy a console even if you are lucky enough to get an AMD reference or Nvidia FE card.

If you don’t mind custom ROMs etc, Pixels with GrapheneOS or similar?

That’s why this sort of thing is first used “for the children” (or “to prevent terrorism” back in 2001 or 2015[0]) - because when you argue in favor of privacy you then also implied to support whatever is being used as the impetus.

The alternative is to not start scanning your device in the first place and getting the foot in the door, because once it’s open it’s really hard to close.

I’m sure the indoor cat having their toes chopped off (which is a procedure derided by pretty much everyone these days) has nothing to do with it.

It’s a bit more nuanced than that - NSFW content can still be shown but the app needs to express a 17+ age rating on the App Store. That’s why apps like the Reddit client Apollo[1] and Google Chrome[2] are 17+.

Probably the closest thing would be the PSU tier list from the LTT forums: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier... but even then it's based on aggregated reviews etc.

Two reasons: 1) The compressor uses some power from the engine, reducing gas mileage. 2) You can actually use it in conjunction with the heater to get dehumidified hot air.

IIRC the monospace font itself would have the cursive characters as its "italic" typeface, then the terminal would just need to be sent the control characters for italic text (i.e. https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/)

What specifically is entitled about expecting a properly-working game on the platform said game is released on, especially the consoles where not having to waste time and effort to "debug, alter, or otherwise hack games" is one of their selling points?
