Tbh, given how out of their way IBM went to enable the holocaust, I don't think they really should be weighing in on this one

If only we lived in a world so simple as to allow the whims of managers, customers and third parties to be completely definable in UML

Good thing there hasn't been any remotely exploitable security bugs in any of the mail system components in the 6 years since Debian 7 went EoL

It's all about the ergonomics - you need a good bra if you want to be at the top of your stabbing game, a bad bra really hinders you

Yeah, I understand - fwiw, RNZ is the national (government backed) broadcaster, and has an explicit mandate to elevate the perspectives of iwi. Black Sheep specifically has done a few episodes about the musket wars and land confiscation that really don't pull punches.

Another that might fit your brief: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/stuff-the-british-stole - from the ABC, and for the most part does a really good job of setting up the story with some historical context, then letting the people actually effected tell the rest

For my dock at least, the connection between the dock and the laptop is a thunderbolt connection, not USB. If you are able to drive the dock off a USB 3 type A port on both your laptop and your pc then yeah, the switch might work, but you will probably be limiting the resolution and refresh rate that you can drive your monitors at

I have the ugreen USB switch - does what it says on the box, not had any issues with it. I've not tested if it can actually get the fast USB throughput that it advertises, I only use it with keyboard/mouse.

• I'm fairly sure it won't let you switch which computer "sees" your dock. I use mine by connecting both my dock and my PC to my monitors (2x DP inputs, so I can manually switch what signal I see), then connecting the USB switch to both the dock and my PC, then keyboard and mouse to USB switch. As others have suggested, a KVM switch would be simpler, but getting one that supports 2x 4k@60Hz outputs is expensive

If you are interested in different culture more than different language background, https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep might be interesting

Looks like it's an x86_64 kernel though? So this is a VM - it's not running as a paravirtualised system, it's having to emulate everything from the CPU up?

If a project is hosted on sourceforge then its a pretty good sign that the developer hasn't progressed their craft since about 2005, which is a pretty big red flag for anything

Oh totally. There was an election and a change of government to one that is typically more business friendly, so I guess the hope was they'd roll back the rules but they were actually pretty popular with the public in general

This is New Zealand, but yeah, basically the same deal

Where I'm from, there was a huge egg shortage for a while because ~5 years ago the government passed new laws to try and make things marginally less horrible for chickens. The entire industry decided that they were going to do... basically nothing, then the rules came into force and there was lots of winging from industry people that 5 years want enough time, and how hard it was not being able to sell all this product that they kept producing for some reason

Ah yes, WordPress, renowned for it's robust social engagement tools.

It's the kind of decision you announce over Zoom so people don't riot

They make it sound like someone is holding a gun to their head and forcing them to own property

Basically none. The satellite link isn't getting traffic directly between you and the server you are reaching - the satellite just relays the data to the nearest ground station that then uses the normal fibre network to get the rest of the way.

Even if you managed to reconfigure starlink to be a peering network rather than an access network, you'd still have the issue that the starlink network as a whole has orders of magnitude less bandwidth than even one under sea cable

I learnt a ton about Linux by fucking up my boot config and being too stubborn to just nuke and pave

Yup - gaseous oxygen isn't very dense so you'd need pretty large tanks, and liquid oxygen needs high pressure and very low temperatures to stay liquid - neither of which is terribly practical for an aircraft, and especially for safety systems that need to be super reliable without lots of maintenance

lithium batteries

People in the office next to mine deal with prototype lithium cells and yeah, terrifying. They charge them in a special fire cabinet in case they go pop, and have buckets of sand everywhere (although the official advice is to not bother, gtfo). If you plot energy density on a line, there is an overlap between the highest density lithium cells and lowest density high explosives
