hwbunny··on Backblaze Drive Stats for Q1 2024
Refurbed drives, at least for Seagate, are terrible.
hwbunny··on Backblaze Drive Stats for Q1 2024
Refurbed drives have a MUCH HIGHER failure rate. I used to send back lots of drives to Seagate, they come back with the service sticker and that means trouble. YMMV
hwbunny··on Backblaze Drive Stats for Q1 2024
They are kingkong. After they started publishing these Seagate seemingly stopped selling trash less and less. Had so many Seagate drives going south. Bleh. Would be nice to see SSD drive stats too. There are so many terrible SSDs out there, like SP, which has utter trash controllers. One day your drive gets locked up without any forewarning, and your data just disappears.
hwbunny··on JPEG XL and Google's War Against It
At least it has some uses :D.
hwbunny··on The IMEI Code: Your phone’s other number
There were a lot of chinese made keiser phones that allows you to edit all the phone/sim related identifiers. Sadly they were discovered and rooted out of the amazon marketplace.
hwbunny··on What language should beginning programmers choose?
NOT perl.
hwbunny··on How to Fund FOSS, Save It from the CRA, and Improve Cybersecurity
Yeah, but it won't.
hwbunny··on Bill Gates never left - Insiders say he's still pulling the strings at Microsoft
Who is advising BG?

Gates had been dreaming of a world in which everyone would navigate the internet using software that would "have a personality you'll be able to talk to in one form or another" and that would "learn about your requirements and preferences in much the way that a human assistant does."

hwbunny··on Highlights from Git 2.45
Just add empty file/dir support already...
hwbunny··on How to Fund FOSS, Save It from the CRA, and Improve Cybersecurity
Shining city of open source, I have to laugh. You provided code, that is in a central place called Github (with an octopus-cat mascot...), that is now used to train LLM models, that will unemploy a lot of developers. It is and was a trojan from the get go. That is your shiny city of open source. Oh, and unless you are a very known entity in the space, you won't get any money for your work. This is the biggest farce ever concocted. Just let FOSS turn into POSS, Paid Open Source Software. It won't happen.

Anyways. I don't really understand what the author is talking here. Seems like he is in a very deep forest. Since the fines start from 5 million eur... The CRA is not about FOSS developers, it's mostly about companies who create devices that we use in our everyday lives.

Apple phones do not auto install updates, now they will. Intel will think twice before implementing some untested shit. Companies will react swiftly when something goes sideways inside their product. If you enter the router market you have to provide security updates for a loooong time, and make sure the default password is not "" or admin...

Everyone, literally everyone shat on security, until now.

hwbunny··on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok
Yeah, children should be on the fields, working and socializing with other children, not watching the interwebz.
hwbunny··on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok
And the rest of them on yt shorts? :D
hwbunny··on "So that a truncated partial download doesn't end up executing half a script"
Nix, as the name implies, it's a moissanite, a fuck-o, a bullshit.
hwbunny··on Ask HN: Why doesn't Google.com on mobile still doesn't let you search by date?
Aliens.
hwbunny··on Americans See China Increasingly Negative
Nobody seen this coming.
hwbunny··on What can LLMs never do?
They can't even produce high profile art. Thankfully, and they won't be able to in the next 10 years. Thankfully.
hwbunny··on Meta's gamble on chatbots opens new wave of tech competition
Yeah, it's an advert on one of the houses in They Live.
hwbunny··on Meta's gamble on chatbots opens new wave of tech competition
I don't think so :D.
hwbunny··on Meta's gamble on chatbots opens new wave of tech competition
They are trying out all the fancy tech showcased in movies and science books from the last 100 years.
hwbunny··on I'm creating PBR Textures and 3D models since 2018 and sharing them for free
Yeah, they also killing the market. Once they established themselves they just nuke it, so you will need to look out for another ladder to climb higher.
hwbunny··on I'm creating PBR Textures and 3D models since 2018 and sharing them for free
Nah, I have no stakes in this market. Just the recent I do work for free in exchange for clicks movement baffles me. People are idiots, ruining complete markets because some bored individuals dilute the market with their free offerings.
hwbunny··on I'm creating PBR Textures and 3D models since 2018 and sharing them for free
Bloody idiots ruining something because they can't find a market for it or bc they are incompetent.
hwbunny··on AI could kill call centres, says Tata Consultancy Services head
Nooo, everyone saying the opposite for years. AI will create more jobs. PEOPLE! They are lying, AI will not nuke jobs, definitely not. Pffff...
hwbunny··on How a photographer captured his eclipse photo
What a horrible photo, really. Jesus on the cross.
hwbunny··on Meta Horizon OS
Why the forced push by big companies into this VR thing?
hwbunny··on Claude 3 beats Google Translate
Well, it became worse in the last 6 months.
hwbunny··on Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, a.k.a. "Masonry" layout
Webkit team snorting cocaine?

look at this, how intuitive, how readable:

grid-template-columns: 14ch repeat(auto-fill, minmax(28ch, 1fr)) 14ch;

just throw the whole grid thing out of the window and get on board someone who can create syntax that wouldn't send you to jump off a cliff and feels like it was made by a fellow human being, not an AI controlled robot.

hwbunny··on No one buys books
Fucking books are like museums. 100 year disadvantage.
hwbunny··on Apple has reportedly acquired Datakalab
After social media depleted the dopamine receptors, now time to give in the final punch :D.
hwbunny··on Ask HN: Please recommend how to manage personal serverss
