Ohhh you definitely want to be running TimeMachine backups in macOS. It’s run from the system settings app, and once you connect a freshly formatted drive it will likely suggest that you use that drive.
It backs up your entire system and data, then makes hourly versions, and keeps long-term weeklies. You can restore individual files or rather easily restore the entire backup.
It’s one of the few things apple does really well.
Yes, go ahead. The parties in question in the article all live under the yoke of the DMCA, with vigorously litigious corporations patrolling the streets.
Sam_Bass’s comments are mainly mildly contemptuous one-liners. Condescending is part of the persona, and when others interpret that manner as right wing, it seems to affirm sam’s misanthropy.
8 years or so and kids will be wearing maga hats for Halloween costumes.
I fully believe that you are antifascist in sentiment. I also see that you are asking people to show some skepticism about media that is obscure in origin and used to evoke strong feelings.
I was a media literacy activist for decades and this was one of the basic points, that framing can reverse the meaning of an image or video or even story. So you are essentially just asking people to show a little media literacy, which is laudable.
Your manner of argument, in a highly charged subject, is tone deaf, which is what seems to have triggered the downvotes. Righteousness is druglike, the veracity of the recorded action is immaterial, and we all need the narrative that punching nazis is normal. Plus, actual nazi propaganda techniques include sowing doubt about their existence, making false equivalencies, minimizing their transgressions, etc., and the tone deaf manner made it look like you were doing that.
You know, the subcontinent has around a billion people on it? Who see it scattered all around, for thousands of years.
I know that there are some complicated configurations that you could use to get the audio feed from display port to your receiver, like running it through a splitter that will strip out the audio and send it to your receiver separately. I’m pretty sure there are no mainstream AV receivers that will do what you want because the market is split between home theatre and PC, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, and manufacturers need to be convinced there’s a market for it.
In that situation, I would connect the output device, in this case a PC, directly to the TV/monitor with DP, and run optical audio from either the TV or the output device to receiver.
You lose some of the integrated control that HDMI-CEC gives you, so get a good universal remote that can adapt to this set up and get one-button source switching back.
I guess foggy there means it’s “mildly” xenophobic when you don’t bother to get someone’s name right.
A lot of names got changed during immigration due to wilful xenophobia last century, for example. Xenakis to Johnson, etc.
Structural linguistic problems like not having notation for foreign pronunciation isn’t necessarily xenophobic, but failure to address the problem might be.
The class war got into people’s heads as ‘working - middle- upper’ but now it’s really ‘worker - owner’.
Do you need a paycheque, or do your assets alone feed you?

Well, for one thing, the supply of googly eyes will run out and you will have to adapt.
Gold is good as notation for big things, like an excavator and a dozen barrels of diesel. You can’t trade that shit for cucumbers and canned tuna.
You can use gold as an excellent long lasting conductor for electric equipment. You can make it very thin. It would make a comeback in basic dentistry, as you can actually eat it: it’s non-poisonous. Doesn’t tarnish. A smith can do a lot with gold.
Gold is a resource. That said, I don’t have any right now. Just some silver coins, and some packaged goods like knives and flour mills (business leftovers). Given the market insecurities now and gold’s all time high price, wish I did.
To clarify, when people colloquially refer to “the collapse of society” they don’t mean that all forms of society would cease to exist, but refer to the failure of the nation state, or possibly the international order, and the long supply chains that go with it. Etc.
So society at various scales would still exist, in overlapping ways and jurisdictions. Basic units like neighbourhoods and firefighters and towns and regions would be organizing based on the old rules and adapting. People organize well in the absence of warlords, so that and extinction events are the threats to trade.
The value of trade goods might be indeterminate if a comet wipes nearly all of us out. Otherwise, many people love to dicker and argue about the value of things, so I’m pretty confident about rare raw materials like gold having both utility value and a reasonably inflated exchange value in a prolonged regional or international crisis.
Al is a pretty good guy but he can’t be everywhere. Maybe he can use some A.I. to help!
Yes, and that’s exactly what everyone forgets about automating cognitive work. Knowledge or skill needs to be intergenerational or we lose it.
If you have no junior developers, who will turn into senior developers later on?
It was off, it’s LTT. It was intertainment with some interview.
Still, L.T. had fascinating things to say, and a refreshing down-to-earth outlook on things like data storage (keeps no files really, just uploads to git and lets others worry about whether it’s worth saving or not), a.i. (important, somewhat inevitable, overblown hype, horrible business practices), and how he geeks out playing with hardware designs for things that are completely out of his expertise so it’s low stress (e.g. guitar effect pedals but he doesn’t play).
Idiomatic usage of ‘intuitive’ regarding interfaces breaks down into
‘familiar’, so, confusing intuition with knowledge, or
‘discoverable’, which is more accurate and describes things like icons and tooltips and menus, where the rules of usage become more or less apparent with exploration and logic.
and we could provide all this wonderful socialism everyone here wants, but that’s never actually going to happen
lol they said the same thing about kings and empires…
Ohh, so that’s why I was unable to watch it, YouTube wanted me to sign in, but fuck that.
