Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters

  • I believe regulations require that everything you put in or on food is technically editable. Like the paper stickers on bread or produce. They are disgusting, but if you or your child accidentally eats them, they are fine.

    • A generational gap on Wikipedia - 91% of WP admins started editing before 2010

    Jump

  • Just a showerthought:

    Maybe that's part of a much bigger generational divide. Maybe Wikipedia is one of the last bastions of the old pre-commercialization internet. "From the people for the people", but actually from people whose hobby it is to spend time in front of a computer screen.

    BBS systems, usenet, forums, early websites, slashdot, open source, Wikipedia, early reddit, ...

    in contrast to: ConpuServe, AOL, Yahoo, Facebook, Amazon, Tiktok

    Editing early Wikipedia waa easy, fun, and meant something. You freed information from behind a paywall. Free as in speech.

    Now, everything is free as in beer ("some restrictions apply") and editing a wiki is no longer easy when you grew up swiping an iphone, not hacking a unix terminal. This, plus admin culture.

    • 80% of bosses say they regret earlier return-to-office plans

  • OK. Now copy all other EU laws.

    • While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux

  • Forget wine. Virtual Machines or Remote Desktop work very well for generic Windows software. For graphics-heavy stuff, you need to learn whether this works for you.

  • Ok, so via LUKS. Thanks

  • Did you contact the developer? It's open-source, why would they restrict it?

    • System76 or Framework laptop?

  • I have bought 2 tuxedos and they were okay.

    One time they shipped a device where the trackpad did not work. Well, not on Linux at least. Their excuse: The hardware manufacturer chose a newer model not yet supported.

    They were helpful and provided a new firmware a few days later, which did solve the issue, but out-of-the-box experience was not exciting.

    I'm still using this machine, however.

    Both this and a model I bought earlier felt cheaper than the price point. Maybe it is not fair; maybe it's not that important, but at 1000€+ I have some expection on build quantity and loooks.

    Those are small things, sure, but they are not perfect, yet.

    • Firefox add-on to track the trackers?

  • Thanks. Both go exactly in the direction i was thinking. Both appear to look at network traffic, connections to third-party servers.

  • Don't worry. I work in a bank. We employ very expensive IT consultants. After the initial PPT that sold the project to our management, all they do is Word documents ("concepts"), mostly copy paste from other documentation. And all the links are file://C:/User/Joe/Temp/MuFiles/...

    • Plan on getting a Linux laptop: any suggestions?

  • Great that AMD has open source drivers, didn't know that.

    • Plan on getting a Linux laptop: any suggestions?

    Jump

  • You got all the good infos already, but I'll stress:

    1. Get Linux preinstalled from a reputable vendor. Linux works on most devices really; but when buying new, you don't want the hassle to even think about drivers.
    2. If you cannot buy from a Linux-friendly vendor, buy an older model that's VERY popular with Linux users (like the stereotypical thinkpad). Again, most devices will work, but you don't want the hassle.
    3. Intel everything just works out-of-the-box with Open Source drivers and is good enough for work. I'm not aware of the current state of AMD, nvidia drivers.
    4. Choose a popular generic purpose distro. They are all good (enough) and should work out of the box. Popular for end users are Ubuntu (although hated by a vocal group) and related ones such Debian or PopOS; maybe Mint. I'd put Fedora/RedHat and Suse on the same level (but I wouldn't know since I settled on Debian/Ubuntu long ago). Then, Arch adresses a different clientele who wants to tinker with there system; not my choice if you want a computer that just works, but great community. Anything else probably has too small of a user group unless it's popular with your friends or line of work
    5. Treat it like a Mac. It's different.

  • Wikipedia has it as: /dʒɜː(ɹ)ˈbəʊ.ə/

  • This clearly goes against the intention of the GPL. Maybe not illegal.
