Had a color wheel in a DLP TV explode on me. Fairly easy to replace but it was a pain to clean out all the glass.

This was most likely posted by a kid who just thinks Unix is “old” Linux and doesn’t understand the roots of what it actually means in terms of computing.

Guys out here sending BMPs…

Cool cool, so who will be paying for the time to archive it, the medium the archive it to, and the accessibility should someone else want to access it? I mean I can put a copy on a floppy disk and keep it in my desk and say it’s archived.

My thought was the reverse. Figured it was in mainline and the betas haven’t fixed it. If it gets fixed, it’d probably be in the beta first.

Confirmed it exists even in 18.1 Beta 2. Reloads faster than I can even time it though.

Gabe too.

I used the app once when I first got mine and never needed it again. I haven’t had a need for it as I start it, and then come back later. If I need a timer I can set one on my phone.

So it’s not an official standard. It’s a buzz phrase used by people who wanted to make others think “crypto was next gen”

So what makes a site “web3” in the first place?

The iPad ate my homework

I’m lucky that I only have Gen1 products. I kept getting hit with “well don’t you want new features?” And I’m thinking to myself “what features?” This does everything I want. Plays local music, integrates with streaming services, syncs between multiple devices throughout the house.

And it’s a good thing I can’t upgrade after seeing this whole mess.

This is where AI would come in handy. Start scrubbing the buffer as it’s coming in to identify the difference and jump past it.

I really hate the conflagration between AI and LLMs. We’re seeing a polishing of LLMs and they’re great for mimicking language, but they don’t “know” what they’re saying. We’re still quite a ways off from GenAI and have just started working on more specialized AI. But without some massive leaps in understanding logic and filtering out garbage it’s gonna be a while.

You just sound stuck up when you say that. Like “is windows still a thing? I didn’t know because I use Linux. Don’t you?”

Of course Google is still a thing, by far it’s still the largest search engine in use on the planet, so most people won’t notice it. If anything, this hurts all the not-Google users. Can you imagine if different sites started signing exclusivity deals with different search engines?

I really wonder how much large scale energy production we’d need if every building was required to have solar. I know we’d need some energy storage tech such as batteries but I’m focusing more on the generation part.

I didn’t say it was, nor did I say UEFI was the problem. My point was additional applications or extensions at the UEFI layer increase the attack footprint of a system. Just like vPro, you’re giving hackers a method that can compromise a system below the OS. And add that in to laptops and computers that get plugged in random places before VPNs and other security software is loaded and you have a nice recipe for hidden spyware and such.

You’d have to have something even lower level like a OOB KVM on every workstation which would be stupid expensive for the ROI, or something at the UEFI layer that could potentially introduce more security holes.

I first dealt with them at least 10+ years ago and at the time they had no ability to do staged roll outs or targeted roll outs. We got updates when they said we did, no choice or control. We had to resort to updating our firewall to restrict the download endpoint and only open it in groups to do a phased update.

Incidentally CrowdStrike has a Linux agent and my previous company was pushing us to install it to check another box on their Cyberliability insurance form. So this could just as easy happen there too.
