I got off the inkjet bandwagon almost 30 years ago now. All it takes is doing the math; most print jobs can be done on a compact laser printer, and the ones that can’t can be sent to a print shop for same-day printing, and I still come out ahead, even with binding included.
No, because it will spend most of its time after leaving the store in your home.
Like a record, baby.
Cell service is always turned on on a phone, even with no SIM card and the phone in airplane mode, and for most phones, even when the phone is “off”. They still ping the local towers semi regularly; they just don’t ramp up transmission power ir try to establish a full connection.
Anyone got a list of Bluetooth devices without a cell antenna where the BT MAC is regularly scrambled?
The gamification, closed protocol and grey patterns make sense? It really doesn’t have to be that way.
That said, up to this point, Discord at least appears to have made a good faith attempt at providing a useful service while also making a profit. I suspect we’re about to see the dial crank over into “turn a profit for the next quarterly report” territory.
Maybe 25% of the RISC-V market? Like, they’re now meeting 1/4 of the demand?
Sure… but the metaphor glosses over the fact that they haven’t really told us anything of interest. It SOUNDS good, but there’s no way to tell how significant it actually is.
Fusion breakthroughs have sounded good since the 90s, but we’re still the proverbial 10 years away from anything useful.
How that MIGHT change things?
Just look at every other tech company in the space that’s gone public to see how it WILL change things. It’s not a mystery at this point.
I almost pivoted that way years ago. I even took the company’s mandatory drug test. At the end of the day though, it wasn’t a good match.
But I found that industrial automation companies and the companies that use their systems have their own degrading steps to the hiring process. It just doesn’t tend to involve AI and digital privacy invasion.
Most Google trackers currently capture the information provided by the website (at a minimum, domain and URL), your IP address and Google account ID if you’re logged in. There’s lots of leeway as to how much additional information the site provides, though.
RCS is even less secure than SMS though — it’s unencrypted and by design, Google, Apple and the carriers all have to be able to inspect the content. And the way it’s designed makes it really difficult to have an open E2E encryption standard. So as a result, Google<->Google is encrypted, Apple<->Apple is encrypted, but combine even one device not of the same type in a group chat and it has to be unencrypted.
Research has also shown a link between dental bacteria and heart disease. Not sure if it’s causation or correlation, but keeping your dental microbiome healthy seems to have benefits throughout the body.
I’ve had gum grafts, and they’ve had no difficulty healing and growing back. I’ve also had extra teeth removed and the gums have had no difficulty filling in the gaps. So if all else fails, pull the old tooth, plant the new seed tooth, let the gum heal and then rupture as the new tooth grows out. Should have a nice healthy gum edge again. Although teething as an adult sounds… uncomfortable.
I’ve got a Tribit Maxboom and it’s great. Water resistant, line in plus Bluetooth, has a handsfree button (triggers Siri on iPhones) and volume up/down, plus a bass boost mode that uses more power.
It doesn’t drive as much sound as my portable guitar amp, but for a battery based speaker, does pretty well. If you buy two of them, they’ll figure out how to work together to provide surround sound, otherwise a single one will play stereo audio to fill the area.
Had it for around 6 years and it still holds a charge like the day I bought it (I usually need to charge it every couple of months).
Heh… like him, I have an M1 Pro and an iPhone 13.
Unlike him, I maxed both out at the time so they’d last me 7 years. Also, unlike him, I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem for 41 years, been in the Linux ecosystem for 29 years, been in the BSD ecosystem for 32 years, and been in the Windows ecosystem for 27 years.
So far, so good… they still do everything I want them to.
For anything else, I have my Linux server I can remote into. Both devices are still beefy enough to run VMs as needed for most tasks that won’t run on bare metal.
My takeaways? Apple still has the most reliable out of the box experience for hardware. I’ve run macOS, Windows, Linux and BSD as my base OS, and get along fine with all of them these days. But I always have containers and VMs running other OSes so I can use the best tool for the job (or at least the best tool for me).
I generally want a computer I can pick up and use to get a task done these days, without having to spend a few hours on the update and configure cycle first. My hardware on hand can’t handle it? That’s what networked compute is for — I can even set up a container locally and deploy it to beefier inline infrastructure if I need to.
Maybe if I were a PC gamer who always wanted to play the latest games, this setup wouldn’t work — but for my actual needs, it works.
It is fixed as of writing, but some EOL versions (3.6, 4.0, 4.2) will not get it.
You probably are already up to date.
I know my MongoDB updated around the 17th.
I have a script I wrote that uses imagemagick on the back end.
Alternative: install Proxmox on the hardware. Then install all the OSes you want to run on top of that.
Looking back, I think it was a freak accident that the ARCTG crowd ended up calling the shots originally. Computer design was considered janitorial/secretarial style work by powerful people in the beginning, and it wasn’t until the late 90s that the “get rich quick by taking advantage of others” crowd realized there was a lot of money to be made.
I say relentless Jensen Huang is hurting society and has “done a lot of damage.”
