I was thinking about this the other day when watching a video about Chernobyl.

They flew countless helicopters over the exposed reactor core and because this was 1986, helicopters didn't have a million sensors or electronics in it. It was entirely mechanical. Effectively all in-use aircraft nowadays could not complete such a mission as the electronics would be rendered null almost instantaneously, even with ECC, etc.

Do these high energy lasers fry the electronics, or are they able to simply ignite and burn holes through the aircraft?

There will be no such thing as an "Walmart Employee" in 2040.

There is a decent chance the term "Employee" as a whole will be eradicated sometime in the next 10 years.

Because 'Teams' isn't just a simple meeting application. It's very feature rich. If you ever have to deal with the admin.teams.microsoft portal you'll know how many options and toggles it has.

Alongside this many businesses deploy 'Teams Supported' or 'Teams Enabled' devices into meeting and conference rooms. Yealink is a popular brand, they don't have baked in support for LibreMeet or whatever meeting products exist.

If you are <30 and are not in a trade related field, you will likely be unable to purchase a home in your life time.

Banks in Australia are now denying University Graduates, including those like myself in IT Industries, home loans due to increased risk of AI replacement in various workforces.

Sam Altman said they are losing money on their $200/m tier.

The "fatigue" from long trips is hardly a result of having to keep in a lane.

It's more so the result of being awake, doing effectively nothing, for a long time. Lane Keep assistance is a useless technology for 99% of the population and the 1% who need it, likely shouldn't be driving a car anyways.

The more we "aid" fatigue, the longer drivers will attempt to drive. This cannot be a good outcome. The worst driving occurs when one is practically half asleep.

There was a report a few years back about people running NTP servers to harvest IPv6 addresses.

Security via obscurity will only get you so far.

Potentially, although my phone only has the following options when selecting what "Network Mode" to use:

- 5G/4G/3G/2G (Auto Connect) - 4G/3G/2G (Auto Connect) - 3G/2G (Auto Connect) - 3G Only

Flagship Samsung from the last 3 years. I have to expose myself to 2G, despite no 2G towers being active in my country. We don't even have 3G anymore either.

Probably breaks some other very important things in Windows.

Not a foolproof solution though, you don't want to be constantly updating your hosts file every time Microsoft changes an endpoint to rename their product offering for the 3rd time this year.

Of course this is where PiHole or some other DNS solution comes in, but ultimately a full uninstall would be preferable.

I recently switched to Fedora. I have enjoyed it thoroughly although I am a little skeptical how the upgrade process for Fedora will go when Fedora 44 eventually comes out.

One of the concerns is the package delays on the RPM Fusion repo. I've heard it can take weeks before updated packages are shipped, a package without a valid Fedora 44 compatible package will prevent the update from being installed.

COPR is another can of worms, most people just recommend disabling all COPR packages before upgrading.

What can Terra offer me? How can I prevent dependency hell? What is the upgrade process like when lots of Terra packages are installed?

EDIT: Found the FAQ here: https://developer.fyralabs.com/terra/faq

This problem is really bad at my work.

We commonly run into finance issues about half way through the year. We get to the point where 10x HDMI cables get declined from Finance and we get reprimanded for not tracking where each HDMI or Ethernet Cable go. Near to the end of the year, the budget refreshes and finance (without consultation to us) ends up buying a bunch of random stuff.

"Guys, we brought 11 iPad Minis that need to be setup"

Oh so we can also get the HDMI cables now?

"No sorry, we just spent all the remaining money, have you audited the cables recently?"

Everyone, including politicians are intimately aware of Zero Knowledge Proofs.

Google even open-sourced technology to enable it: https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/opening-up-ze...

The politicians don't want Zero Knowledge Proof because it prevents the mass-surveillance of internet users. This is all deliberate.

You're right, but Social Media was one of the last places one could be critical of the Government whilst also being anonymous or pesudo-anonymous.

There is seatbelt cameras in Australia.

They are everywhere, they can also be mobile and placed almost anywhere. These camera are mounted high so they can view down in through the windscreen.

They automatically issue a $1,251 for not wearing one to the license holder.

Why would I purchase this compared to the million other scripts and tools that exist today? Many of which are completely open source.

I've never seen Linde ever in my life (Australia).

What is funny though, at least in the Australia and UK regions, they still use the BOC brand, which is a subsidiary under Linde.

I'm not sure what you are trying to suggest.

What does it matter if Gabe has a yacht? He has multiple of them. Gabe also have an undersea research company called Inkfish, which is a non-profit company designed to "conduct deep-sea research and explore, map, and study the least-explored parts of the ocean".

In 2020 he donated $300,000 to the Starship Children's Hospital. In 2020 Gabe Newell arranging free concert for New Zealand. In 2014 Gabe founded a Racing Team which helps support Grassroots motorsports, the Heart of Racing Team also supports the Seattle Children's Hospital. Game is also the co-founder of a company called foundry10, which is an education research organization focused on youth philanthropy.

Gabe is not the evil person you are trying to make him out to be. He has visited numerous schools, colleges and universities and done free talks out of goodwill. He has put millions into research and development of Linux software for the bettering of Linux community as a whole. He doesn't "Just like Linux", through his investments and care for the Linux community, Valve has made Linux a viable gaming platform, which it would be likely a decade behind without his investments.

You clearly are very misinformed on how Valve operates and runs the competitive CS2 environment.

Valve does not require a Kernel Level Anti-Cheat for "first party" tournaments. It is not stipulated anywhere in the Major Rulebook: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/counter-strike_rules_and_re...

The reason third-party anti-cheats are commonplace at these events is because most tournaments opt to use Faceit or similar for game scheduling. This was the case before VRS (with RMRs) and the TO could choose an anti-cheat of their choosing. This always ended up being Faceit AC or whatever platform the matches are scheduled via (For example, PGL used Challenger Mode, which used Akros Anti-Cheat). ESL of course uses Faceit because (ESL Faceit Group).

You do not understand how Majors are run. It is very hands off from Valve. Only recently, with the introduction of VRS has Valve started controlling and implementing dedicated rules into the ecosystem for TOs.

Battlefield 6 being "highly optimized" is a joke.

Runs pretty poorly on a RTX 4080 with 5800X3D @ 1440p.

It also legitimately looks worse than the Battlefields that predate it, even up to Battlefield 1, which is over a decade old now.

A better example is Arc Raiders.

Stallman was right about a number of free and open source software things, although he is a disgusting person for his comments around the Jeffery Epstien situation and his views on minors...

It appears very "vibe coded", the application makes use of the stereotypical AI gradient in the top bar of the application.

The README.md uses a ton of Emojis in the feature Setting.

100% AI.

Google did offer a VPN, Google One VPN.

It was kind of killed like a lot of other Google products.

If by "evidence" you mean correlation.

There is a correlation about mothers taking acetaminophen leading to Autism. There is also a correlation about mothers drinking water and it leading to Autism.

Doesn't mean its the right connection. Effectively every first world mother in the past few decades has taken acetaminophen whilst pregnant, given its one of the only possible pain medications allowed, yet we don't see 99% Autism rates.

That sounds like all software. We can make better software.

Assuming correct implementation of the NTP spec and adherence to the "eras" functions, NTP should be resistant to this failure in 2036.

The problem being so many micro-controllers, non-interfaceable or cheaply designed computers/devices/machines might not follow the standards and therefore be susceptible although your iPhone, Laptop and Fridge should all be fine.

What reputation? They are known for being the most greedy payment provider and actively killing various other payment providers.

Oh wow, the flowchart made by the Government. The government has a registered interest in preventing blockchains for anonymization and decentralization.

Who would of thought?

I should be able to transact with anyone, anywhere in the world, near instantly with little or no fees.

This isn't some radical, cyberpunk extremist, this is just pure trade. We have technology to facilitate this but we've been held back for decades by greed and legislation.

It means nothing when most water is recycled anyways. It's not like the GPUs actually drink the stuff, the water just connects to heatsinks and is cycled around.

A lot, but maybe a lot less than you expect.

You'd be competing with ASIC miners, which are 100x more cost effective per MH/s. You don't need 100,000GB of VRAM when mining GPU, therefore its waste.
