  • lmao you don't even know what legal tools exist to examine this volume of documents.

    Do some research if you're going to be up in arms about stuff. Do even more research when you decide to be up in arms about how a billionaire gaming the system is somehow being treated unfairly after ripping millions of dollars off people, creating these terabyte repositories of illegal transactions.

  • I like the Arc series as a concept, because they're the only value-driven option. Nvidia is just about pumping power and AMD is about trying cool gimmicks like dual clocks and chiplets.

    Eventually I hope that the Arc series contributes to an Intel chiplet series similar to the APUs available on handhelds.

  • Huh, the time machine must be off. This was news from a decade ago.

    It's actually one of the main reasons we switched off Skype to Discord for most gaming socialization.

  • Let's try reading the articles before discussing them, next time.

  • Looks like even the original article I could find was updated to state that it was a hypothetical.

  • The last time they tried this the UAV decided that the operator was interfering in their goal so it adapted to try to kill the home base because the operators were telling it not to destroy targets, and all it understood was "killing targets = good".

  • I'm pretty sure there are reasonable expectations by governments that you maintain adequate moderation, especially the EU. If Mozilla were to deploy a public facing system and not moderate it, they would catch hell from the EU and likely be fined out the ass.

  • Every single comment chain on this thread besides this chain are 100% wrong and operating on misleading information. I fucking hate how up in arms people get when they don't even have the full picture - even the basics, like having read the fucking article.

  • They have a duty to moderate public-facing systems. This is a link/bookmark sharing system, so obviously bookmarks that are pointing to things that are illegal are going to be dealt with.

  • That's something I hate about the fediverse is that we have so many layers of links that you never get the original article, you get seven recursive links to other federated sites and maybe if you're lucky on the last link you find the original article.

  • It's fun and finished. Too bad you don't like it but it's a really enjoyable game for most players including myself.

  • It started with headphones to listen to music on the go. Then it become a DAC for the headphones. Then it became an inherited record collection. Then it became a turntable. Then it became a pre-amp. Then it became a massive and varied record collection.

    All and all I've probably spent, I don't know, upwards of maybe five to ten thousand dollars overall with all my audio equipment and record collection.

  • He wants file transfers between MacOS and Android. It can probably be done with a LAN file share but he's using some kind of random app to do it.

  • If you don't know what SMB is, it's probably a bad idea for you to turn off the Mac firewall. You don't know enough about this stuff to be monkeying around back there.

    You can theoretically set up actual network shares that are readable by both devices which will solve your problem and not require any messing around with the firewall at all.

  • Open source Windows is an interesting premise, but Windows-focused Linux is already a thing going on. Not only has Microsoft basically adopted Ubuntu, but most of their recent projects have been open source. They are actually one of the most numerous contributors to the Linux kernel and it's mostly to make Ubuntu run better on Azure hardware and to make Windows Subsystem for Linux more effective.

  • My Dell does the exact same thing, or at least did when it was running Windows. I would go to put it to sleep and the fan would spin up like a jet engine, as if it was thinking really hard and doing the exact opposite of what I told it to.

  • I find Ubuntu to be the best out of the box. I would not use Arch as a productivity machine. My laptop runs EndeavourOS and I was able to get it to a decent place for dicking around. Manjaro hardware manager helps the process of getting the Nivida driver, but Nvidia recently open sourced their newer drivers so they are generally included upstream as part of most package managers. I just had to install nvidia-dkms and it works fine for gaming now. I can do DXVK stuff with Lutris (WoW), run Proton emulation (basically everything else), or just natively run Vulkan games.

    If I were to have to stick to a distro to make professional day-to-day use with I would probably pick Ubuntu. It's the most well supported overall by communities, and it's one of the most consistent experiences within the Linux environment. Every other distro has some stupid hacky way of connecting to proprietary clouds, while Ubuntu just has native OneDrive and GDrive capabilities. Having access to those shared drives for my org is one of the most important parts of my job, and on most distros I just can't access them outside of the browser.
