I know for a fact you can get a metal set for a few dollars plus shipping.

I’ve noticed this in video games too. For example, in Monster Train you fight as the champions of hell to save what’s left of your home against the forces of light.

Boo hoo, I need a TPM, recent SIMD instructions, and DirectX12 support to be able to boot. Please help!

Boo hoo! 🎻

I dislike AI but I think you’re unfairly downvoted. I find it helpful for ensuring I’m taking care of necessary steps in a common, low-stakes procedure. It’s useful to generate sequences of terminal commands as well, though it’s important to check and understand what you’re doing.

This is really cool, but I wonder how long it’ll last before they are bullied with legal threats.

I mostly agree with you. I find it really weird how I live in a world where all my Internet is being run through 5G cellular for political and social reasons and not for technical ones. Due to the monopoly on the cables, it’s actually much cheaper here to buy 5G home internet. It seems unnecessarily complicated and choosing to use a shared medium for no reason. It’s just the politics.

In case you’re not from the States, we have a monopoly pretty much everywhere for Internet services.

With my 5G I have unlimited data, and it’s 300 down 44 up on a good day. It’s perfectly serviceable if you can live with increased latency.

How do you know they don’t just sell your data anyways?

Pathetically weak flex cable and connector. Obvious problem and design weakness that’s persisted for years.

I think users who know what a NAS is probably know that information already. But true, yes!

It doesn’t just benefit you. You’re benefiting the current users of that spectrum that for one reason or another might not be able to switch.

I suspect most users though couldn’t tell you what frequency their network uses let alone the devices on it.

Ensuring that the system complies with industry standards and integrating security measures for cross-technology communication are also necessary steps, Gao adds.

This is absolutely a huge factor that could make or break the technology if they don’t do this perfectly. This could be the single most important part of the tech.

2.4 GHz is super saturated. The last thing we need is long range i.e. large footprint signals in already saturated spectrum. How this technology is deployed should either be not at all, or very carefully, to prevent widespread interference with existing WiFi devices. This spectrum is already on the verge of being complete trash. Please please do not be deploying more stuff on 2.4 spanning an entire “smart city.”

I’m doing DPI on my own network and I can still view TLS certificate fingerprints and some metadata that provides a good educated guess as to what a traffic flow contains. It certainly better that it’s encrypted, but there is a little information that leaks in metadata. I think that’s what was meant.

Following your edit, I’m sorry to hear that the patent system couldn’t protect him. This isn’t the first case I’ve heard of. Honestly, you have to be rich, which I think is completely intentional to ensure that only big business can benefit from a patent.

That’s really cool! My invention was a means of accelerated processing for images that makes it cheaper to produce what used to be dedicated color processing chips for digital cameras. While these are no longer used today, it did find some applications. At this point there’s a few libraries out there implementing some of it as open source with my explicit permission in the hopes they might find some use in the future and contribute to society that way.

As someone who was awarded several patents, these things were not made to be a source of infinite money forever!

Up there with our copyright law it’s a system that has been horribly abused to the benefit of super powerful corporations that run everything.

This requires people to play by the rules. I’ve yet to play a game that actually follows the written rules.

It looks like it’s the same flag to me. I mean, it’s entirely possible that administration could use a different path to applying the setting, but it has the same name.

I relate to your Windows comment. There was a point where I was that person with a bunch of different tools to modify my OS exactly how I like it, and then I realize I’m just doing more work. If I’m willing to do that work anyway, I might as well have an OS that is more malleable.

For those who may not want to click the link, this appears to show a workaround that enterprises might use to bypass the change.
