I don’t know if it is always the fastest. I know they said android, but for example on not too old Apple phones (pre-usb c), I had the impression you could get better throughout on wifi compared to a cable connection. Maybe that’s just apple trying to squeeze money on proprietary connectors, but other manufacturers seem to copy their worst takes sometimes though.

I have not heard of any orgs replacing windows with Mac. This is for consulting and IT. To my knowledge, it is still something only available to execs and higher management. What sector was this for?

I took a really big shit the other day. Like, really BIG. We can call it the shit of the americas and anyone that disagrees would be making it a big hubbub.

Just because it was a president saying something stupid does not prevent it from being stupid.

Wikipedia was here before those dudes and will be here after them. They are small in the grad scale of things.

True, much easier to remove the antennas and SIM cards.

I am melon lord!

With that said, a beater with snow tires and chains on the trunk (and a driver that knows how to put them on before they are needed) will do better than a Subaru with all season tires.

Source: Subaru forums, even a RWD like a BRZ/FRS with snow tires can be safe if driven with the car’s limitations in mind.

With extra steps.

While not as bad, my dad is kind of like that with phones. I installed Linux mint and honestly as long as the same ginormous Firefox icon (which I told him was the internet and YouTubes - same as windows) is around, he can still get to his karaoke and YouTube videos.

On my side I know it is pretty much impossible for him to get a malicious executable now, every few weeks we do upgrades when I visit which are a lot faster than windows updates.

You think at&t is protecting you from hackers? ISPs are notorious for using crap routers and wifi devices which they charge an arm and leg for. ISPs literally had default passwords that can be guessed (many of them still do), used outdated protocols that were prone to brute force attacks or simply fail to compete with even the most basic DD-WRT, Open-WRT or other custom firmaware.

Slowly since glass pipes tend to break.

Lemmy was pretty sparse on posts not that long ago. Time can help.

Same here. I’m using the Nortek z-wave and sigbee usb adapter with zigbee2mqtt + home assistant (both on docker). They are sometimes annoying to pair, but never had one drop for anything other than low battery (original battery sometimes craps out after a few months, but replacements go for 1+ year). I did hear their second gen motion sensor was kind of a miss when compared to the original one, so I stuck to the v1s. Not sure if they’ve addressed the reported issues. People also say that they don’t follow the protocol to the letter, so it seems possible that depending on the hub, they might not work as expected.

We also have some third reality smart switches that turn a switch “smart” with a physical mechanism on the outside, while not as good looking, they are awesome for renters when you want yo automate things like kitchen lights without having to replace anything on the circuit itself. The batteries last forever (aaa). I found that adding some vinyl matching the color of your outlets makes them more stealth if you also don’t have white outlets.

Edit: one of our third reality switches was placed on the porch light, which we wired the Christmas lights to this year using one of those $1.50 light socket to socket adapters (LED Christmas lights use very little energy - should be ok to power with a light socket which can do 100w for porch lights just keep it below 60w if unsure). It made automating them on when the sun set and off after midnight or so a breeze.

Same State for car emission standards as well. Too bad our cities are shit holes because of all the car infrastructure though.

You misspelled gallon(s).

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

And the day that something bad in general about the code can be said? That’s when developers fork. It means something different to us.

I don’t use them, but I do work in tech and oopsies do happen even with a properly configured k8s set of clusters or well managed bare metal infrastructure and well trained engineers. A developer could not be fully aware of something as simple as logs going to a file being something that can bring down capacity due to evicted pods on k8s for example.

It does sound like the post is beating around the bush on terms of what caused the outage, but if their post mortem acknowledged fully what it was and decent steps being taken to mitigate it, short and long term it could still be a lesson learned. Generally it’s not possible to just correct something that quickly on complex systems or environments that have been used to a certain workflow as much as customers and users would like (developers like anyone else make mistakes).

Whether a noobie mistake on the code review process or something else if they are honest and clear it can still impress people willing to migrate. Using MS teams and O365 at work it feels like there is an intermittent outage every other month.

-$21 to -$54 once you factor the $25 to $60 for a tetanus shot.

I’ve heard of people using a shake sensor or a power monitoring outlet/switch which seems like it would take a lot less effort to integrate into automations (like showing a light when it is done somewhere).

When you are forced to buy a car just to maintain a job or not be run over on your way to get groceries on the transportation “infrastructure” provided by American cities, reliability for a car does make the top of the list.
