Rentlar

That Kingston DataTraveller I have as well and it’s my ol’ reliable from at least 9 years ago. For some reason PCs put up a fuss with recognizing other people’s USBs at boot, I’ve never once had an issue with the Kingston.

It is true that it is slower but for a live distro, install and troubleshoot disk it does the job perfectly fine.

I’m not looking rn, and not that I plan to use it but actually I like it. Fight fire with fire in this case. I would like to confine it to firms using AI recruiting tools, I’d much rather just pass someone my resume in person or chat with them and do away with silly form filling.

Oh sure, next let’s have an AI open my Steam and play the games I want for me.

Neat, I did already transfer my budgeting to GNUCash a few months ago, but this looks shiny too.

The bad firms are going to lay off most or all of their juniors, hire AI leash-holders or something and do fine to code everything their hearts dream of, but at some point (5-10 years my estimate) enough of the seniors have left and shit hits the fan in a way where AI models can’t save the company from its own creations.

The thing that ChatGPT doesn’t have (at least right now) is the ability to tell management to piss off. I assure everyone that this is what the recipe for disaster for many firms will be, if any.

The smarter firms will have a keep a sizable contingent of juniors, who will work with help from LLMs, but have seniors teach them to have a bullshit detector in their industry.

Or, we start up all the coal power plants to keep the ever-hungry AI chatbots alive so humanity is fucked in the end anyway.

I am very shitty on security (I would not write this reply on a post on the cybersecurity community), and I resisted MFA for several years as being too annoying having to login to mail/SMS. After finding open source apps supporting TOTP, I feel better about it and I manually do the syncing by just transferring the secrets between my devices offline.

Passkeys are another foreign thing that I think I will get used to eventually, but for now there are too many holes in support, too much vendor lock-in (which was my main distaste for MFA, I didn’t want MS or Google Authenticator), and cumbersome (when email and SMS were the only options for MFA, difficulty of portability for passkeys).

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it as the crow flies.

On sunday, rfkill/airplane mode, and your internet will be politics free.

Yes, i’m just making fun of the verbose nature of PowerShell commands.

Seems interesting. As far I know I think why not, as long as you place Dragging Equipment Detectors (example) before and after the installation areas. Seems a good a place as any for solar panels, especially on only occasionally frequented lines.

Any notion that taxpayers are taking on risk here is fanciful given that any loan will be backstopped by Constellation’s entire $80-billion-plus value.

Not to worry taxpayers, despite us paying out dividends to equity holders, our $70 billion plus value means this loan is still safe and sound!

Don’t worry taxpayers about us spinning off 90% of our assets to Galaxy Brain Energy, a totally independent and different energy company that we didn’t just pull out of our ass. The loan is still backed by our $7 billion plus value, trust!

Invoke-WebRequest

To comply with the court decision, Microsoft have added a super easy to use PowerShell command to install your favourite browser!

Expectation: it doesn’t work well at all

Result: It kinda works?

Some nasty jerks they are. Well now internationally famous nasty jerks.

I think this idea is good. I remember seeing those domain names last year. At the time it seemed muddy and uncomfortable to me, since there was a whole scheme of Reddit ghost accounts posting, while I understood there were good intentions behind it, mirrored posts were flooding users’ All feed to the point I started blocking a bunch of subs, and many admins defederated.

If we can promote the community first approach where the domain is the space for discussion to be held and stored, with users connecting from across the Fediverse, this would be excellent, a good alternative to massive centralized Lemmy servers. Collective ownership would ensure preservation of content if one or more go offline.

This is an important first step in the right direction. Given the state of consumer law saying “anything goes if you agree to it” this may be the best initial way to start discouraging the practice of always online everything, helping preservation and being honest with consumers.

“The remote shutdown did not affect these vehicles. They are operating normally, without any failures,” he said Friday on Telegram, per CNN. “You couldn’t ask for better advertising for the Cybertruck.”

Buy a Cybertruck today! Only 1 in 3 chance it stops working after 2 months!

Let’s save money and have AI control the Nuclear Power Plant, see what happens >:]

That’s part of the reason why new community oriented projects are way more interesting to me now than most software. There are some outliers in the space who still have dedicated people in their craft rather than for money but it is fewer and farther between.

Imagine if they pulled that on the idle timeout pause screen too…
