Get an HRV/ERV if you can't open a window.

I think Microsoft is the terminal state of a big tech company. Big tech companies will all eventually carcinize into Microsoft given enough time.

I do that, it seems like a self-reinforcing pattern I end up in after messing up my sleep schedule. I take a sleep aid (like Zzzquil) for a bit to get back on schedule. Caffine before 1pm or so helps too.

This is an ad for Incogni

Arial has better support for some locales on desktop devices.

Algorithms and data structures aren't the problem, bundling Chromium to make a chat app is the problem.

I think Rust's rise in popularity will probably lead to some benefits.

Games will probably get more efficient but they're easier to scale down to the memory that's available.

I'd rather see some gobbledegook than extended pauses or idealized (read: fake) information. Those are specific tasks it is doing when you run that command, there's a simplicity to it.

Not saying Lore's approach is bad, but sometimes "worse is better".

It's a joke.

I think that's true, but I am still frustrated with people who continue to use services that are openly hostile to them.

I think there's bigger fish to fry and it's hard to talk about when nothing matters to the people you're trying to convince.

If being user-hostile in tech created real consequences, Facebook would've shuttered 15 years ago.

Sad to say but I'm guessing this is an effective strategy.

I don't know for sure but Bluetooth, WiFi and Zigbee are on the same frequency band. Z-Wave is not.

(at least in the US, not sure about other countries)

I assumed it was laundering bad ideas, as in "it wasn't us being incompetent, we trusted the LLM!"

If you are naive enough to believe that, the moment you create problems for your bosses, you can be fired and replaced by some other naive person.

Personally I would wish for streamlined regulatory processes rather than being okay with any Tom/Dick/Harry creating health hazards next door because they overestimated their ability to dispose of their own poop.

You can find places like that all over the world. They're slums.

Maybe regulations put too much burden on homeownership but slums create huge issues as well. Basic plumbing shouldn't be taken for granted.

May I never have to use or work on your project's software.

Only a lawyer could write this with a straight face

I find the type of show makes a big difference, finding something thoughtful is important (and hard). We also like to set a time limit, usually 1-2 episodes to make the transition easy. Also, no tablets, just commercial-free TV so we can watch with them.

They re-enact fun/positive stuff from shows and don't get locked in or desperate for TV. Seems to work for us.

I run a Unifi Protect setup, local only.

They don't provide a display, so I put a Raspberry Pi, a display, and an audio hat in an enclosure. It plays an rtsp stream from the camera at startup and works pretty well.

Don't let old software break, don't use VMs/containers, don't use versioning: Pick two

Microsoft is the only company to pick all three. That's not strategy, that's indifference.

Better to have a strategy for software compatibility and evolution vs Microsoft's strategy of doing nothing.

Pretty much every game console ever made still works with every game for that console, but when it's Windows you never know.

Open-source Linux is great at updating old software.

Most other OSes (Android, MacOS, iOS, game consoles) rely on versioning, which makes it easier to provide compatibility layers or at least know when a piece of software just isn't supported anymore.

Personally I think Windows should have specialized VMs for old software, so they can be compatible forever even if they have bugs.

Windows is roughly 25% of the gaming market and I don't know why you're bringing up Linux. I haven't ever had a console unable to play a game built for it, just Windows.

'No Way To Prevent This', says only OS where this regularly happens.

I guess your teachers failed you, since that's a hasty generalization (your experience isn't universal) and a non sequitur (defunding public schools wouldn't address the problem of poor schooling).

Somewhere in the 2010s, social media turned news into spam. I guess it was a long time coming, I remember news commercials in the 90s fear-baiting constantly, demanding you tune in at 11pm to find out more.

I recommend Wikipedia frontpage, maybe Wikinews. It has to come from a nonprofit at this point.

I don't see how WebUSB makes that risk worse. At least I avoid making it easy and running somebody's firmware updater on my computer.

I get that you're trying to win the argument, but you're being opaque.

Any ESP device I have isn't even connected to the Internet so I do control when it updates.

When did I do that? WebUSB gives a website access to a specific USB device, not my entire computer.
