Judging by that picture, I think they’re all in on that color scheme and likely just bought multiple pairs of the same socks.

Two European-based cloud service companies, Exoscale and Elastx, tell WIRED they have seen an uptick in potential customers looking to abandon US cloud providers over the last two weeks

Are these any good? Are there others? As an American, I’m 100% on board with getting my digital footprint out of this country and into the EU somewhere, so I’d love to know!

It’s become very popular. Jaguar, Lexus, Audi, they’ll use glues at some point. So I’m very surprised. It’s not as if it’s an unknown science. I’ve not heard [of problems] anywhere else.”

Yeah, none of those brands are trying to be cheap as shit death traps though.

I also find it fun how i heard this morning that it hasn’t even been fixed in production yet.

So glad we’re destroying the environment and GPU market for this.

So. the FTC doesn’t have enough people now to do its job… great planning there.

Except it’s likely on purpose so they won’t have enough people to look into this and other large cases against corporations that might impact the people buying out the government.

Sounds like a health problem.

My dead grandmother use to tell me stories about the bank account information of everyone in my neighborhood…

It’s easier to roll out if no one can saturate it!

I like how now is referred to as the “post-truth era” as if there were pre-truth and truth eras as well… the internet and newspapers in general have never been infallible. Journalistic Integrity was a bigger deal, but it was pretty easy to find false, dubious and inflammatory statements in printed papers and news programs. As someone who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, I remember having to site multiple sources in papers due to inconsistencies and straight up lies and opinions being wide spread.

What we’re seeing here is less about truth, and more about the speed of information spread, truth or not. Coupled with the lack of questioning from the general public and the acceptance of marginal information by the masses. Anything that fits someone’s personal narrative is championed and distributed as truth. I feel that it’s partly due to the online bubbles that promote such community echo chambers, but we had those in the past as well. Perhaps they just didn’t work quite as well as those that can be both world wide and easily influenced by outside actors.

I’d agree that some of the perceived lack of journalistic integrity could be exaggerated by the AI and click bait tactics to drive views and revenue.

I’m all about decentralized social media, but I don’t think it’s a panacea as Lemmy has plenty of echo chambers and questionable information just as any other social media network.

eBay, Amazon, sometimes you can snag deals when they release newer versions, they actually had a few on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Tbh, I got mine in a pack of 4 on eBay (I only needed 3), cleaned them out a bit, bumped the RAM and put new disks in them and they’ve been solid.

Wow, this goes against Betteridge’s Law of Headlines, but absolutely.

I’ve got a small stack of 1L PCs running a ProxMox and Kubernetes cluster and it’s been perfect. Highly recommend. I’ll probably get one for my wife’s desk when she sets it up as it’ll do everything she needs and more, and it’s tiny and you can get em cheap lightly used.

I would argue that win 10 that’s been working on there for a long time will also run like a charm. Or enough of a charm that they won’t care to change it. And if it starts throwing errors, preventing the from doing things they want, or breaking down, they’ll just think it’s the machine and replace it. Most people don’t think of OS and Machine as separate, independent things.

I remapped my CapsLock key to Escape. The only time I ever hit CapsLock was a mistake, so this works out a lot better… and yes, I’m a Vim user so having that Escape close by saves my pinky.

I’d rather have one with no window manager than one with no terminal.

I daily DDG and either go to Kagi or, oddly enough, Bing if that doesn’t work. Google is too riddled with ads at this point.

One day I’m going to run out of free Kagi queries and I’ll probably have to pony up the money.

It’s because you need a cloud based account for a local device that should be able to run without internet access using a local only account. I don’t need a cloud based account to log into my local Linux machine… or previous Windows machines.

Now, if I want to log into a cloud service then I’ll need an account for that service, but not for the device itself.

I’ve often wondered if the authorities would care about a community run FOSS plate scanner network that publicly advertised the location of all government vehicles. I mean, it’s public data, right? A nice web front end with built in pattern detection shouldn’t be too bad. Plate scanners can be built with Raspberry Pi’s, so it’s fairly cheap commodity hardware. You’d need a good number though. Coupled with additional hardware, you could put them on cars as well I suppose.

Fwiw, this article says the name of the app is Clue. As a dude, I have no need of such an app, but as a security minded individual, will encourage my female friends to use it if needed and hope the developers continue to have security in mind.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has blocked a bill in the state that would have banned law enforcement from enforcing search warrants for menstrual data stored in tracking apps on mobile phones or other electronic devices,

And as a Virginian, I will once again vote against the enemy of security and privacy: Glenn Youngkin.

I still don’t know how people manage to fray those things. I used my 2013 for 10 yrs and the cable is still like new. They’re built pretty well. However, I do appreciate that the new ones are just usbc cables that plug into the brick so you can swap the cable if it does start to wear. Or so you can use MagSafe cables on non-apple power supplies.

It’s a support question. It may cost $2k more for a Mac, but if it’s officially supported, auto patched, remote managed and they can prove it with security tools, force patching and restrict users, use standard well known tools for compliance and security monitoring/administration/etc, they will easily save thousands in corp licensing, training costs and legal costs. That $2k+ really becomes negligible.
