So far I’ve mostly avoided the whole “things that don’t need to be on the Internet” situation.

Non smart TV (well that period when they started adding smart features but they’re all out of date now so not even connected to the Internet)

All kitchen stuff is just kitchen stuff. No Internet.

Car is still offline.

Only real exception is smart thermostat, and that’s just because when the boiler was installed that’s what they put in.

It’s as true today, as it was then?

Sure. But it’s to Mars, with Musk.

Then I suggest they use an XNOR pointer instead! Checkmate patent trolls!

Or, you do the tutorial, play for an hour don’t come back for a year and don’t know what is going on.

Huh. I am sure you could search for individual books. For sure you could do it by goodreads ID I think? Yes, adding an entire author as the primary way to do things is a bit much for some. I know for sure I have managed to do individual books before now.

Yep, same. Well I actually remember finding the best ways to copy a game on a tape error free first. Some, without protection you could just save back to tape for a digital reproduction (and this also allowed tape to disk conversion). Actually those with non destructive copy protection could kinda be copied too if you knew a little Z80 ASM. Others, you needed to copy tape to tape and hope the quality turned out OK.

But yes, then bringing your box of copied disks (Amiga in my case) into school and swapping with your friends was the way to go.

That’s fine. I’ll make my own internet. With blackjack, and hookers. In fact, forget the internet!

It’s a real shame because Readarr did work and they really just needed to fix their own metadata servers. No? Or were there other problems I’m not aware of?

I mean, I have to say I’ve hastened my own demise (in program terms) by over-engineering something that should be simple. Sometimes adding protective guardrails actually causes errors when something changes.

Yes, had the same happen. Something that should be simple failing for stupid reasons.

Yep. It seems they haven’t changed a thing about the format. Probably a script much older than mine on their end is generating it too.

I have a tool that I wrote, probably 5+ years ago. Runs once a week, collects data from a public API, translates it into files usable by the asterisk phone server.

I totally forgot about it. Checked. Yep, up to date files created, all seem in the right format.

Sometimes things just keep working.

Yeah, no prices. I move on. Same with job ads, no salary no application. If I get an intrusive ad, I’m not buying that product, I’ll deliberately seek out another brand in fact.

Is that a weird attitude to have? I thought it just made sense. We shouldn’t be rewarding this BS.

With IPv6 for most use cases there’s actually more security. With privacy extensions (pretty sure it’s enabled on windows by default), when you make connections from your device, it uses a “private” IP. That is a randomly chosen address inside your network’s prefix, that changes regularly.

These addresses don’t accept incoming connections. You have a main address that doesn’t really change that you accept connections on. Firewall that for ports you want to allow and then hackers need to port scan 2^64 or 2^80 address space to find your real IPs in your prefix. If they capture your IP from a connection to a web server etc, they won’t have luck scanning you.

Again as per my post above, the biggest risk right now is bad default configurations on many home routers.

The “firewall” features are called connection tracking and, a firewall. With IPv6 I have my firewall setup very similar to NAT. Established and outgoing new connections are allowed (this is done using connection tracking). Incoming new connections are not allowed unless I open up a specific port.

Home firewalls SHOULD be setup the same for IPv6, a lot are not and IMO is the main problem right now.

I’m wondering what combination of features would use 25w on a phone. On flagship models the battery would last less than an hour at that consumption (and might even melt :P).

Your point still stands by the way, sensors take next to nothing in terms of power. I guess the point of the article is perhaps the processing of the signals is more efficient with this hybrid chip? Again though in real terms it’s a nothing-burger in terms of power consumption.

I don’t think there’s ground even for an arrest in my (non professional mind you) opinion.

The act requires that a message be sent by any electronic means (including transmission) so, this meets that part. But the message must be indecent or grossly offensive. I would argue some pictures of a couple of buddies together shouldn’t be grossly offensive.

Unless it’s the police’s view that it is offensive because of what Trump may, or may not have done with said now deceased criminal friend. In which case, they should be arresting someone else too.

Yes, it’s a common police tactic to make arrests around the time of a visit like this. But, they really do need to be grounded in a realistic application of the law.

Just lay down, and pretend you’re compiling.

Does /dev/null support sharding?
