strunz··on Initial details about why CrowdStrike's CSAgent.sys crashed
Crowdstrike doesn't give that option. Updates happen without a choice to "keep you safe".
strunz··on Ask HN: What is in C-00000291*.sys?
Source? I have not seen any thing about that and CS themselves say it's Windows only.
strunz··on CrowdStrike fixes start at "reboot up to 15 times", gets more complex from there
>They do make a version of CS for Linux but nobody runs it unless they’re forced to by overzealous compliance drones.

I wish people would stop making blanket statement as if they know how every company in the world runs. Plenty of Linux machines are running CS, and it's not only because they are forced to for compliance. NG AV has been picking up speed as a "just in case" thing for Linux and Mac for years now. Your anecdote does not apply to everyone.

strunz··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
It's actually worse than phone updates. Ever looked at your phone and noticed it hasn't updated to the new OS despite it having been out for a few days already? This is why.
strunz··on PySkyWiFi: Free stupid wi-fi on long-haul flights
Whoosh

Maybe take a stand-up comedy class or something

strunz··on Dear Roku, you ruined my TV
I felt the same way reading this, though I felt like a patronizing douche. If you buy a TCL or bottom rung TV and expect it to cater to cinephiles, you're just begging to be let down. (Not that there's any excuse for this shitty anti-consumer behavior from Roku)

I don't believe either of those block YouTube ads on Safari
strunz··on Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project (2021)
Strange logic. Would you consider it unethical for former Google employees to start their own search engine? Or to quit and go work for Bing? Assuming they aren't stealing code this happens in every industry. Can former Ford employees not work for Chevy? I don't see the difference.
strunz··on Spotify won't open-source Car Thing, but starts refund process
I didn't have to escalate anything, just provided my receipt
strunz··on Ex-OpenAI board member reveals what led to Sam Altman's brief ousting
Did you read the article which points out specifically that he is financially incentivized?
strunz··on Ask HN: Video streaming is expensive yet YouTube "seems" to do it for free. How?
Actually Disney Streaming business was profitable for the first time last quarter - https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/disney-q2-2024-earnings-str...
strunz··on The Worst Website in the Entire World
Those people are trying to help the users who have been screwed by the managers who made the website terrible with no regard for anyone arguing against it
strunz··on The Worst Website in the Entire World
They're even more likely to type the wrong thing, so this actually makes the problem worse
strunz··on The Worst Website in the Entire World
Aside from SSO, it allows them to check if the username exists before even attempting to login with it
strunz··on The man who killed Google Search?
Page is only 50 and doesn't have any health issues that I know aside from his vocal cord thing 10 years ago
strunz··on Roku files patent to inject ads via HDMI
Yeah, all that mind poison from nature and science education, documentaries, great films and TV shows that entertain and help us experience the human condition through great visual art and storytelling. Are you from 1950?
strunz··on The xz attack shell script
That's probably because of this (as mentioned in the timeline):

>2024-02-29: On GitHub, @teknoraver https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/31550 to stop linking liblzma into libsystemd. It appears that this would have defeated the attack. https://doublepulsar.com/inside-the-failed-attempt-to-backdo... that knowing this was on the way may have accelerated the attacker’s schedule. It is unclear whether any earlier discussions exist that would have tipped them off.

strunz··on Show HN: Comma Separated Values (CSV) to Unicode Separated Values (USV)
CSV isn't even restricted to comma as the separator. You can use any character you like (pipe | is a common one) and csvkit will happy still work with a simple CLI flag. Pretty much all Unix tools have a similar flag. I've always been able to find an ASCII character that my data doesn't use, though maybe there are exceptions I haven't hit.
strunz··on Show HN: Comma Separated Values (CSV) to Unicode Separated Values (USV)
csvkit makes displaying CSV in a terminal trivial and has all the tools to manipulate/filter data I've ever needed - https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I don't really get this project at all.

"The suspect was seen fleeing the scene at 4:30pm - much like the way stains flee your clothes with new Tide Max+ detergent!"

I can't believe you typed all that and didn't include a number, what a tease
strunz··on Ask HN: Nitter officially declared "over" today – alternatives?
Not if you setup your own instance and use your own account sparingly

strunz··on Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it's not
It isn't explained in enough detail to understand the benefit. You think just walking around a room and placing windows is a good use case for this incredibly expensive headset? Does that really improve any workflow beyond just being a novelty? Do you think that is a very wide target demographic?
strunz··on Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it's not
Can you describe the tasks you will actually be doing like this and why this headset is actually helpful?
strunz··on CLI user experience case study
This only works with CLI that take a few arguments. If you're writing a CLI that requires 5+ arguments, then positional arguments are very hard to remember the order of. -- arguments make that easier.
strunz··on Fewer people are buying electric cars in the US
So you're stopping every 3 hours for 15 minutes? So a 10 hour road trip includes 45 minute waiting for your vehicle to charge? And that assumes the chargers are immediately free. That sounds horrible to me.
strunz··on Fewer people are buying electric cars in the US
>by time you pop in somewhere to use the bathroom and grab a coffee or snacks you're pretty much good to go.

I really think these comments are just EV driver rationalization. You really spend 30-45 minutes at a rest stop on road trips? When we take road trips we spend almost no time stopped. Even if we're eating, it's in the car. I can't even imagine stopping multiple times for 30-45 minutes to recharge, that is not the same as "going to the bathroom and grabbing a snack". That takes like 5 mins tops, the rest is just wasting time you could be on the road.

Man I would change your font, that is super difficult to read as large blocks of text.
