Charles university uses and develops something called ReCodex, and it is available on GitHub. As a student, it was very nice to use.

Don’t know about the UK, but in central Europe it’s common for houses to get three phase power that can then be used on 400V three phase circuits and gets split (ideally evenly) into 240V circuits. And the fact that the phases have effectively zero coupling means that you also need to just try the adapter to find out if it’s going to work or not unless you happen to know how exactly your house is wired up, just like with split phase power.

Apartments usually get a single phase though, but IMHO it’s also less likely that WiFi won’t be enough there, so it’s questionable if that’s even a point for powerline.

Just to be clear, the applets were stuck while the laptop was plugged in? If so, then it might just be the threshold - connected, not charging, not discharging (because the laptop is running off the AC adapter).

For example on my IdeaPad laptop, when I enable the charge limiting feature it will get “stuck” at 59 or 60% while plugged in. It doesn’t have a configurable threshold. Although your laptop might provide a more fine-grained control given that you were able to fully discharge it while plugged in.

Hey, just a tiny note: static and dynamic addresses aren’t mutually exclusive. You can let SLAAC do its thing AND also set a static address on your server. Remember, IPv6 works best when you aren’t afraid of adding more addresses.

I agree, the fact that Meta considers 13 year olds being able to have romantic chats with chatbots to be perfectly fine is disturbing and IMHO the main newsworthy thing here.

However there is no mention of “200 pages of romantic interactions with minors” in the article - that is the whole chatbot guidelines document. Still, it including such things shows how shitty Meta is as a company.

OK, so the whole LLM chatbot arranging dates with people thing is obviously problematic, but this person simply tripped and fell, and the headline vaguely implies that the chatbot is responsible for his death. That seems a bit clickbaity - if it was a real person and they were actually waiting to meet at the agreed upon address, the outcome would be the same.

Idk, it surprises me it took so long for TP-Link to get into trouble with how they tend to support every HW revision of their routers for about a year and then stop releasing any security updates for them. That’s awful for a device intended to sit at the edge of your network, possibly having a public IP address.

Like sure, you can look for any reasons you want, but not giving a fuck about security in a device that’s always connected to the internet and also routes all user traffic is bound to get companies in trouble when someone with the power to do something about it notices.

The question asks for “the best” way to do it (making it opinion based) and forbids a potential solution without explaining why (it’s clearly some kind of assignment, but that doesn’t matter here). And it has plenty of answers both using Boost and in pure C++, so I’m not sure why that wasn’t enough for you. Just because it’s closed doesn’t mean the answers already provided are bad.

Maybe a good option for projects that you don’t want anyone else to contribute to, but then why make them open source in the first place?

Because, at least to some people, open source is more about user freedom (to modify the software and share the modifications with anyone they wish) and less about collaboration.

For example every time I publish some simple utility that I wrote for myself and decided could be useful for other people, I release it under a reasonable open source license and pretty much forget about it - I’m not going to be accepting merge requests, I don’t have time to maintain random tiny projects. If I ever need to use the utility for something it doesn’t quite do, I’ll check if any of the forks seem to have implemented it. If not, I’ll just implement it in my repo.

The reason I’m publishing the code is because I know how much it sucks when you find some proprietary freeware utility that almost does what you need, but you can’t fix it for your usecase on account of it being proprietary for no reason (well, author’s choice is the reason, and I respect it, but it’s still annoying)

Sure, but I don’t see how any of that disproves the current “M$ supremacy” for “normies” - the fact is that people who couldn’t care less about how their computers work will have a much easier time using Windows (and probably macOS) than any Linux distro. You don’t have to worry that some software won’t be available to you because of your choice of the OS, and if you ever have a problem it’s easy to find help.

I haven’t used Windows in a decade on my personal computers, but as long as these two things hold true, it will always be my recommended OS for people who simply don’t care - I’m not going to spend my time doing free IT support for everyone I know and then get blamed everytime something doesn’t work.

Annoying warning keeps showing up at boot -> bring the PC to the nearest computer-literate person, and they’ll fix it. Good luck doing the same if you use Linux.

Don’t be ridiculous - this is a lab environment, they can faithfully recreate the suffering as long as the ethics committee doesn’t get notified.
