Wow the explanation of how they reverse engineered their way to pixel atomics was super interesting!

That was the point of the article, it doesn't do the trick anymore, bloatware is now part of the default install.

No, I don't

No, it's a normal multiplication by 3, and it makes sense.

3 times the sum expands to: 3 * 1/4 + 3 * 1/16 + 3 * 1/64 + 3 * 1/256 + ....

Which is essentially what the picture shows: The main meme is three quarters filled with whole pictures, the fourth quarter being the inset of the sub meme, which is made up of three sixteenths of whole pictures and the fourth sixteenth is made up of the next layer of inset meme etc.

Wow that's a good price. I pay 64.75 Swiss Franks for that.

But at least it's a cool little ISP serving me. they offer 10 and 25 Gbit/s for the same price, just a bit more setup fee, because the transceivers are obviously more expensive. I've just not taken the plunge to upgrade my router and switches.

"Allowance" what the fuck? Aren't they infantilising their customers?

Thanks, that actually a good idea.

I guess I did miss "a", that was never something I saw on our older APs when I was a teen, only "b"

To me that whole royalties spiel was always just marketing to bait non-technical people into adopting the NFT system.

I've never seen anyone build and use an enforcable mechanism for a multi transaction chain to pay out to one original address repeatedly. I think at the very least you would always have to hold the NFT in a multi sig wallet between the artist and the current owner, for the artist to have a mechanism to keep enforcing their royalty claims. That would also require involvement of the artist in every further transaction.

Maybe I'm missing something like a smart contract that can fabricate new multi sig transactions on demand with pre-approval of the artist somehow... If anyone knows of something like that I'd be interested in the technical details.

I'm more confused now than before. I always knew what b, g, n and ac were, but now when people say Wifi 5 or Wifi 6 I don't know which of the standards it corresponds to.

The content isn't anything to write home about. I don't really get it.

But some places like New York or Chicago are both hotter and colder

Than what? Chrisinau, Sevastopol and Bucharest are similar to New York

You mean like Apple’s Self Service Repair, which has been available for a few years now?…

Sure, if you call 1.3 years a few years...

Here's the press release dated 2022-04-27

Well when the USB Type-C connector was forced on them, they didn't make an EU iPhone. Let's see if this is enough to push them over.

Maybe 2 minutes normally. Hard to tell really. If I don't I have two strategies:

If I'm staying awake because of some captivating train of thought (stressfull or exciting or whatever) I mentally put it aside with the thought "I can't change that right now anyway I can deal with it tomorrow" and start trying to freely associate without focusing on any thought starting from some nice landscapes.

Otherwise if there isn't something obvious keeping me from sleep, I just start focusing on relaxing bodyparts and breathing deeply and slowly to stimulate my parasympathetic nervous system. That normally puts me out quickly.

I'm a bit of a fan of Okular. It just does a good job displaying PDFs and is not annoying. The table of content works well if the document has one. There is text select and block select for when you need to get content out of the PDF. You can tell Okular to ignore DRM with a simple checkbox in the settings, for files that "don't allow" selecting and copying text or "don't allow" printing.

Now that you mention it, yes it totally does!

USB C is confusing because it pretends to be universal

In reality USB Type-C is only a connector, not all the features people associate with it. Of course it's going to be confusing if you insist on mushing the concepts up in your head even after an explanation. Just accept that there are at least four different things, Type-C, USB 3.2, Alternate Modes and USB PD, and start thinking in those categories.

It's not about the server being strong or weak. Good server is the one you associate with your own projects and hobby, bad server is the one you associate with work and oblications :-)

I’ve always thought it was to head 'em off at the pass so they won’t install un-remotely managed and un-monitored Linux distros on company equipment.

For me it's not working. Every day of having to use macOS drives me closer to doing this. It's such a fucking annoying system, even after 2.5 years :-D

USB Type-C is not all over the place, it's a pretty normal connector standard, that was updated a few times.

What may be confusing to is that there are also two other relevant standards:

• USB Power Delivery 2.0 and its updates
• USB 3.0 and its updates

Both of these standards require the USB Type-C connector for some of their features. Sometimes in a specific revision, for example at least USB Type-C Rev 2.1 is required for the Extendend Power Range introduced in USB Power Delivery 3.1 for charging at more than 100W.

Furthermore USB 3.1 has absorbed USB 3.0 and USB 3.2 has absorbed USB 3.1. Each time they renamed the old connection speeds. For example a USB 3.2 Gen 1×1 connection used to be called a USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection and before USB 3.1 came out it was called a USB 3.0 connection.

Finally USB Type-C has so called alternate modes, where the lanes for SuperSpeed USB can instead be assigned to carry other protocols, like DisplayPort.

Since very few features are actually required to be supported, and marketing managers are apparently allergic to precision, it's hard to find out what feature is supported on which interface for any given device.
