  • Both kinds exist. Both have different benefits and drawbacks.

    You shouldn't only be using one type in your house.

    Optical is great for detecting large smoke particles quickly. If the smoke is small particles, though, it'll need to be rather dense before it'll go off. Ionizing detectors have the opposite issue; they react quickly to small particles but can't detect large particles that well.

  • Fun fact!

    When the Republican Party first gained traction, many states would have them labeled on the ballots as "Progressive Party".

    Teddy Roosevelt ran on a platform of environmental conservation, anti-corruption, anti-monopoly, consumer protections, corporate regulation, social welfare, and income and estate tax.

  • They didn't omit those prices. CPI and Core are two separate measurements. Core excludes food and energy.

    In fact, excluding food and energy actually made the numbers worse. CPI is at 3.2% YoY. Core is at 4.7%.

  • -r means delete recursively. rm will by default only remove files, but with this flag, it'll also delete all the folders, subfolders, and the files in those.

    --no-preserve-root disables a security check. A few years ago, this flag didn't exist. If you ran rm -r /, everything on your system would be deleted, provided the user had permissions. Now, / is treated specially and rm will refuse to perform a recursive delete on it without the --no-preserve-root flag.

    -f means force and disables any prompts.

    rm -rf --no-preserve-root / would delete every file on your system.

  • Not long before Amazon came out with their spyware phone.

    Seriously - they bragged about how the Fire Phone was always spying on you and still tried to charge $600 for it. Like three months later, they had to discount it to $99 and include a year of Prime.

  • I mean after everything he's done, he's not gonna get the best attorneys out there.

    Won't pay his bills, lies to his lawyers, breaks court orders on Twitter, tries to get his attorneys to break the law for him, etc. After Sidney Powell, this shouldn't be a surprise.

  • It's a great little machine. The downside, though, is that it's not that powerful at all. With hardware offload enabled and features like QoS turned off, you'll get about ~600mbps of max total bandwidth shared between up/down.

    For most people that shouldn't be an issue, though.

  • I've never had that with my work laptop. If I've got programs open that require close prompts, it won't even reboot when it's been idle. Eventually IT will lock it down unless I update though.

    No big deal either way. You should be restarting at least weekly with any OS.

    Plus, at least with Ubuntu, kernel updates happen much more frequently than Windows updates and require a restart to take effect. The only difference is you can ignore them, which is almost never a good idea.

  • Won't be an issue for courts. In fact, the original text prediction software came from the Enron Corpus - a trove of emails gathered by the FERC during their lawsuit against Enron.

    Now, companies will absolutely not be friendly about this. The number one reason most companies are hesitant to AI is because they don't want to risk giving sensitive data to an outside company.
