I hear most people get free food and shelter for years afterwards.

The first USB stick I bought, I saved up for and it was over $1/MB. It still works to this day but is so ridiculously slow and capacity limited there’s no reason to.

4TB in a little stamp is amazing.

Many Lemmy instances block VPN posting. You can view, but not vote or post. I have a secondary private VPN I use sometimes for that. But honestly the whole thing just sucks.

Let’s use Flash!

I love how you’re being down voted for facts lol. Also as an FYI, Americans know nothing about the oil embargoes on Japan and how Indonesia and the Philippines played into japan’s needs. The US choke holded Japan and they had like a year left before everybody would freeze and starve. So Pearl Harbour it was, and they got lucky the US just happened to park all the ships there, they weren’t planning on it. But that news isn’t taught to Americans. They truly believe it was an unprovoked attack out of the blue.

More than half the world is in support of Russia, mostly because they do not support the USA proxy war or NATO. If by “the whole world” you mean NATO, then not even that considering the support isn’t unanimous. The remainder is indifferent, don’t really care one way or the other.

Ipv4 is one of those things that works awesome, is simple, and is a victim of its own success. Ipv6 is just complicated bloat of a standard. Cool features, but nobody implements them, so useless.

In 30 years, probably useful. Until then, I’m not giving up Ipv4.

Who can afford the performance hit?

My production server running Win XP Home has to have the firewall off just to make all the super secret company internal networks work. SFTP would cripple us!

/s, except about the performance hit being stupidly unacceptable in 2024.

You will pry ftp from my cold dead hands.

Mac and cheese is all macaroni cheese pasta.

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten microwaved Mac and cheese, don’t wish to try. If that’s what those photos are, then obviously disgusting.

Both of those look disgusting. And I like Mac n Cheese.

But but but, China bad boogie man! They can’t possibly do anything good.

The entire concept of having idiots from the area decide your fate went out of style with the wild west. The average person has no ghastly idea what the case is even about. These are people that don’t even know the difference between WiFi, “the internet”, and google itself.

If you really want a jury for a technical discussion it should be a jury of technical people versed in the subject.

But overall, ban jury duty. Archaic stupid process.

Absolutely.

But something tells me they will at most get a recognition award printed from MSWord and a pizza party day at their local office.

It’s a conditional branch… You make that into a loop. Branch if zero, branch if not zero, etc.

Ah yes the X86 instruction set for mapping.

Everything is a conditional branch loop. Always has been.

US credit cards still don’t use a PIN. The rest of the world uses Chip&Pin or nfc contactless. The US uses magnetic strip very often, chip and no pin, and now contactless. The verification if asked, is not a PIN, it’s the billing zip code (5 digit postal code of the US). Usually just petrol pumps ask.

It’s also why I strongly advise any foreigner visiting Murica to learn the default zip for their card. If you use an international card (any non American card in America) it will still ask you for your zip code and if it fails, no petrol for you. And in the US you must pay BEFORE you pump so you could quite literally be stranded because of their archaic banking system.

Many European cards use 00000 or 12345. I’ve seen some Asian cards that use the last 5 digits of the card. Even if you have an American card if you aren’t the standard boring American household that never moves, it can be a pain. The card may have its billing address (and therefore zip) set to a place you’ve never been. But you have to remember it.

I love how you’re being downvoted because the cavemen Muricans can’t comprehend modern banking that doesn’t involve cheques.

Blows their mind when you talk about tapping to pay in the early 2000’s. No Apple didn’t invent it.

World would be so much better off
