It was a problem with early WD green drives IIRC. The power management was exceptionally aggressive and caused massive issues when put in to any RAID-like set up. You could override it though generally.

I manage a web dev team. We try to optimise as much as possible but then there’s all sorts of tracking that gets tacked on by personalisation teams, opti teams, things like Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter/X scripts inserted too… It’s pretty shit. And sometimes when things break it makes it super hard to debug too

I just came back to this thread. What did I start?! :)

It’s because he’s wearing a double-breasted suit. Not really in fashion anymore.

(Useless fact for you :))

I actually wanted to look this up. This is an interesting article - https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-evolution-of-alexey-navalnys-nationalism

“He has never apologized for his earliest xenophobic videos or his decision to attend the Russian March. At the same time, he has adopted increasingly left-leaning economic positions and has come out in support of the right to same-sex marriage. This strategy of adopting new positions—without ever explicitly denouncing old ones—is probably the reason the suspicion of ethno-nationalism continues to shadow Navalny.”

I personally don’t have really have opinion either way but was curious.

I present Dual_EC_DRBG as a great example of “you can’t trust shit”

But also CPUs and motherboards may be compromised too. Whether it’s by China or the US… It’s a plausible thing. Intel IME and AMD Secure Processor amongst others…

In one case I found out they lied to me about why we broke up and the second she became a horrible, vindictive person after we broke up and started spreading lies and rumours about 6 month after we split. Originally both breakups were quite amicable and soured and they didn’t understand that that had quite a lot to do with my decision to 100% no contact.

I don’t think I’m 100% against it now that I think about it further. I just seem to have a history of dating people with an underlying hurtful streak and/or poor empathy…

Yep I second this. I have gone NC with all my exes. Two wanted continued contact but that’s just not me and sometimes people ask me what they’re up to and I can happily respond I have NFI.

The past is the past.

Not quite. I’m pretty sure I have at least one spare floating around. Will take a pic when I get the chance!

There’s a brand (I think it’s a small bakery here) that uses an awesome dual-wire one that I always keep because it is more a ‘clamp/clasp’ clip than a ‘tie/twist wire’ clip

They use their own kernel but a lot of the userland is FreeBSD-based (and some senior FreeBSD contributers are also Apple employees)

Intel also had them in their higher end consumer gear (eg. their high-end NUCs etc)

“Basically Apple created” is a bit reductionist. The USB-IF also includes Microsoft, HP, Intel and Texas Instruments amongst a couple of others (can’t recall them off the top of my head).

Also Thunderbolt was created by both Intel and Apple in collaboration…

That does kinda scream “I would be happy to kill all humans but don’t want to say it…”

It’s kinda like:

“Are you a nazi?”

“It might be time to move onto a new topic.”

“That’s not a no…”

Nurgle looks like he’d fit in well in the US. This is him at a food kitchen!

Yeah, every single workplace I’ve worked at aside from one has been “iterative waterfall” - AKA waterfall with sprints.

Companies shouldn’t be allowed to say they’re “agile”…

Isn’t there currently a huge shit fight about Disney+ removing shows that aren’t available anywhere else and will never be released on physical media too?

Is it just me or is the second picture Lone Starr flying/driving Eagle 5 in Spaceballs…

I self-host (postfix and dovecot) and will admit of all the self-hosted stuff I have it’s the most annoying/time-consuming to manage but doable if you’re willing to spend a lot of time reading and updating things. I wouldn’t recommend it to the vast majority of people though.
