Ah yes, I think that was when a FOSS maintainer had to step down and handed it off to someone else if I remember right? See this XKCD for relevance. It’s pretty ridiculous how much we (and companies with billion dollar revenues) rely on the free work of others for such important systems. But yes, an important distinction to make is that certain Linux distributions may use code by others that is not open source and malicious without them realizing.

I mean, but we pretty much do know? The difference between Linux and Windows / MacOS is Linux is open source and can be checked and audited by anyone. If an exploit exists, it will be visible publicly and just needs to be spotted by those knowledgeable enough. Windows and MacOS are more than likely audited too but by private companies under NDA, so then it’s left up to Microsoft or Apple to decide what exploits are fixed.

Yeah Kiwix is great for this, I just put together what this company is essentially selling for free by myself a few months ago. In fact I would be surprised if this company wasn’t using Kiwix as most of the resources they listed are on it already.

My internal clock is similarly good, but more of an asshole. If I fall back asleep after an alarm accidentally and have somewhere I need to be, my body will wake me up with the absolute bare minimum amount of time I need to get ready if I rush like an absolute mad man.

I don’t know if I would call it lying per-se, but yes I have seen instances of AI’s being told not to use a specific tool and them using them anyways, Neuro-sama comes to mind. I think in those cases it is mostly the front end agreeing not to lie (as that is what it determines the operator would want to hear) but having no means to actually control the other functions going on.

Amphenol connectors. Used a ton in industry, military and aerospace. They are actually really nice when you get down to it, but you need expensive tools and the connectors themselves are usually quite expensive. I once had a client ask for a specific 6 pin one, only about the size of my thumb, it was $800.

Yup, heard about it a week or two ago. Found it installed on my Samsung phone, it never asked for permissions or gave any info that it was added to my phone.

Hi, not gay but bi and I spend a lot of time in LGBTQ spaces. I personally have not heard of this meaning anything specific. Chances are that it’s just a quirky / goofy expression that they like. I have a few friends who are not gay where every photo has a similar expression, it’s just something some people do I guess 🤷

Has it always done this or is this a new issue? I agree with what someone else said, I think this is likely a bed leveling issue. The P1S uses pressure sensing using it’s nozzle for bed leveling. If the screws holding the hotend in place aren’t tight enough, it might be giving you poor readouts. This could happen after a nozzle swap if you’ve done one before. Same if the print head itself has a lot of play in it for some reason, it would throw off the results.

Just last week actually. I was visiting my parents and we were having dinner with the radio on. I started talking about how I was learning the piano and had most of The Scientist by Coldplay learned, and how I like the piano part in the song a lot. And as I finished talking, it came on the radio, just perfect timing. I actually thought the smart speaker somehow picked up on me saying the song name but nope, definitely was just good timing on the radio station.

It’s just the chassis, screen, battery, and keyboard. You would just buy one of their boards separately to go in it, or make one yourself I suppose.

This is entitely on brand for Bitcoin Cash from what I remember years ago when the split happened. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a scam coin, but the community was very sketchy.

Wouldn’t it be good to have the truth during investigations?

Well, yeah, but the mind is fallible. That’s why eye witness testimony usually only gets a case so far, people tend to forget specifics and fill in the gaps without realizing they did.

In the gaming world, for example, MSI announced this year a monitor with a built-in NPU and the ability to quickly show League of Legends players when an enemy from outside of their field of view is arriving.

…So it just lets them cheat? I remember when monitor overlay crosshairs were controversial, this is insane to me.

Lmao timers are essentially the only thing I use Bixby for, how did they manage to fuck this up so bad??

If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.

Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don’t own a Roku now.

Reaminds me of this legendary Aussie. https://youtu.be/SoZ41i2dSIw?si=Er-JrpdsBLnMD5hH

My roommate from a year ago was adamant CCleaner was required for his PC to keep running. In 2023. I was just shocked to see it was still even a thing.

I enjoy that the character that can break a lot of things is called the “non-breaking space”.

Makes me glad I still have access to my old university email and credentials.
