Fuck driving. You'd be lucky to get me off the couch. 😆

Obviously ACAB, but...I have known a few jackasses who thought nothing of driving while high. Just don't. And don't reply to me about how you "know your tolerance" or that you can "handle it". Fuck you, you're impaired. Don't do it.

I can't speak to Bluetooth as I don't know much about it from a software development perspective, but when I first started working with USB I was surprised to find that the hardware is really simple but there's a ton of software that makes it work. Specifications evolve over time to add features or improve efficiency. This neccesitates code changes, and those code changes have to be made at both ends of the connection if you want the devices to continue to be able to talk to each other. Aside from maintaining the interface code, there are probably also changes and improvements to the device itself. Thus, firmware updates. Make sense?

I'll take a look. Thanks for the suggestion!

Good advice on balance, but we're a small company. In addition to being SSE I'm also what passes for IT. 😆

I'll check them out! Thanks for the tip.

 

Had to install this app which then made me sign in (using my work PC) to update the firmware on my damn controller. Wish there was a way to do this in Linux. I'm so over Microsoft's crap.

The upgrade turned out to be extremely uneventful!

I maaaay have layered some stuff that I couldn't find flatpaks for. 🥺

This'll be my first Silverblue major version update. What am I in for?

 

Guest OS is Debian 12.7, no desktop environment. VM was created with Powershell so that I could specify the Configuration Version (9.0). This VM is intended to be migrated to a Server 2019 host.

I have a series of checkpoints so I can observe the behavior at each. After installing (rootfull) docker, VM memory demand idles around 526 MB. Starting a session and running top doesn't change the memory demand at all.

When I start with the checkpoint where I've made docker rootless, memory demand idles slightly higher before login, maybe 870 MB. When I start a session and run top, though, memory demand skyrockets and assigned memory quickly reaches max dynamic memory, 4096 MB. The output in top barely changes. For giggles I bumped the max to 6 GB and demand still continued to rise.

There are no containers defined in either case. Any ideas about what I'm seeing?

Would that be pronounced KED or KWED I wonder? Or maybe just a large belch. 😆

I've been experimenting with going without the suggestion strip on my Android keyboard because I tend to hit that row (and a random unwanted word) occasionally on my relatively new Moto when thumb typing. This can cause problems in FF as it did for me today when I was writing a long-ish comment and accidentally hit the reading mode button in the right of the address bar (I have my address bar at the bottom) and of course flushed my post to hell. It was a perfect storm of shit haha.

Might move to nightly so I can disable the reading mode button, assuming that's still possible. I've been on Android released for the last year or so.

Any other "gotchas" that you guys have encountered on mobile FF?

 

MAITLAND: Doctor, is there no way you can get into your ship?

DOCTOR: No, not unless they return what they stole from my ship.

RICHMOND: But will they'll never give it back to you!

DOCTOR: Oh my dear, they're not invincible, no-no-no. Did any of you notice the peculiarity in their eyes?

MAITLAND: No I can't say I did.

DOCTOR: It's a fallacy of course that cats can see in the dark, they can't; but they can see better than we humans because the iris of their eyes dilates at night. Yes...huh! Haha!

 

I know this will sound paranoid as fuck, but I've really been thinking about Microsoft lately. Like, they're pushing their Recall shit whether we like it or not. The fact that it even made it past the concept stage tells me that no one at Microsoft gives a single fuck about their users anymore. The final shreds of any trust I had in them as a company are gone and I've started thinking of them as an adversary.

Today I was considering Teams in particular. My company has been using it for maybe six years. When our email provider went teats up, I did some research and realized we had Microsoft cloud stuff included in our Action Pack subscription. We started using their email, and about the same time we started using Teams.

Teams offers EEE but only on Teams Premium, which we don't pay extra for. Microsoft has access to every message and chat. They could be saving transcripts and voice calls. They might have accumulated billions of hours of voice data by now.

What could they do with all this data?

  1. Sell to LEO
  2. Commit corporate espionage
  3. Gather government secrets
  4. Use for AI training

Something else just occurred to me. I did research a while back on the software stacks that big tech companies use. Not one uses IIS.

I've been a Windows developer for thirty years. I used to like Microsoft. I looked forward to new versions of Windows and Visual Studio. Now I feel like they've lured us all in slowly until we put our throats in their jaws. Fucking mental.

Talk me down, if you can.

Greg Austin is a fantastic actor but when I see those eyes it's reeeally hard not to see Travis Leich. 😬

Edit: Btw Class is fantastic. I'd have watched it back then had I known about it. I mean, I'd vaguely heard about another spinoff but I didn't know the particulars. Look man, I'm not on trial here. The real crime was cancelling this show.

Edit: Many thanks to @[email protected] for suggesting that I hold all three buttons down. That appears to have worked! 🙏

Pixel 6 Pro. Yes, I did a factory reset after patching. No, I wasn't aware there was an issue. Yes, I understand there's no fix for this.

My question is, how do I turn off the phone once it is in this state? I've tried holding power alone, power + volume up, and power + volume down for varying periods of time up to 30 seconds each. I've tried in the recovery menu and at the error screen. I've tried catching it during the restart. Can someone help me please?

Following initial investigation in July, three more women come forward, including one who signed NDA following her experience with author

Edit: Not sure why the link abstract says two. The article clearly says three.

 

I have a UPS Ground prepaid label to return the cell phone that I'm trading. They told me it would be $10-12 to schedule a driver pickup, else I can take it to a dropoff location. When did this start? Boo, UPS. Boooooo.

Edit: To be completely fair, it may be that the destination decided not to pay extra for driver pickups rather than this being some new UPS thing. I don't know the inner workings.

 

Would anyone happen to have a source on who portrayed the young Lady Eddison in The Unicorn and the Wasp? I've checked IMDb, Wikipedia, fandom, Shannon Sullivan, and a few sites I wasn't previously familiar with. Fandom had the names of some of the uncredited cast (footmen, kitchen staff, etc.) but I couldn't find anything about young Lady Eddison. Thanks!

I know they're not explicitly selling SkyDrive or OneDrive or whatever it's called now, but they kinda are.

What's funny is, this file is stored in an encrypted container that does live in the cloud. 😄

Edit: Thanks to user @[email protected] I now know about F12 in Office applications to bring up the "classic" Save As... dialog. Today I learned!
