I hate how people mix up correlation and causation with JC Penney and it's couponless trial. The company was ALREADY very much on a fast track to bankruptcy when it decided to try removing coupons - that's why they tried it. It didn't make enough of a difference to pull them out of the nosedive they were in.

It's not that not doing coupons doesn't work, it just didn't save a failing business.

Arch-user in the image said they were a "completely cis dude" and would hit that button, then replied to themselves (~1 day later) calling herself "she" - implying they became(?) trans within that time period. The final response is from another person, incredulous at the short timeline between "completely cis" and trans

This has been the case since SATA revision 3.3, released Feb 2016. So while I may have exaggerated with "ancient", a brand new PSU certainly shouldn't still be feeding 3.3v to that pin.

Likely changing the "active" flag or boot stuff, but as the other commenter says, if you aren't 100% confident, disconnect the scsi

I have done this with dozens of drives and have never had to do any pin blocking. You only need to do that if you're using an absolutely ancient sata power cable that doesn't know about the spinup pin change

Why does my chromatic orb keep failing to cast on goblins??

VP9 has pretty wide support, probably due to the Google (and YouTube) backing. I sincerely doubt devices will phase out any codecs, especially not VP9.

AMD video cards have supported hardware decoding of VP9 since vcn1.0 - well before they had support for decoding AV1

AV1 and VP9 are likely going to be your highest efficiency "free" codecs. AV1 is the way to go if you mean free as in free open source. It's not very likely to be implemented in many TVs or set-top-boxes, but VLC/ffmpeg will be able to decode any of these. Webm uses vp8 or VP9 which are "free"(made by Google) but it's just more specific settings for sharing online/viewing in browser.

H264/H265 has license fees for non-free software and hardware, but they will be your most widely supported option. H265 is approximately twice as efficient as h264 (meaning you can get the same quality of encode from half the file size).

Regardless of preset I think you can get handbrake to encode something reasonable from any of these codecs. Especially with DVD video you'll be able to crank through videos with modern high efficiency codecs

It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask "how do you ensure data isn't leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?" If you say "here's a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here's our log of decomissioned equipment" chances are very good they'll say "OK great let's move on to the next one" with only minor followup questions.

Just more nonsense showing how broken modern copyright is. It's too hard to write weasely legalese to just say you have the right to reproduce content submitted to your website, you have to own it entirely. And if you own it, why not sell it?

Google makes some really fuckin bullshit decisions. Jpeg XL being removed from chrome, same with DHCPv6 missing in android. I hate google

He already said it once

Ring doorbells have built in motion detection cameras, they do not necessarily need to be "rung"

"Responsible reporting" is for security vulnerabilities... It's extremely hard for me to believe that jailbreaks like this should be considered security vulnerabilities, especially if it's something local-only or otherwise limited to something only the owner of the device would feasibly be able to do.

Does anyone believe the portable is actually a more secure device now than it was before this patch?

Op said they tried without the firewall connected and had the same results

Thinking eve is just short for evening is so wild to me. Is "Doll" short for dollar? Is "her" short for Hershey's kisses? Come tf on

Yeah I just didn't have it in me and meant to go back for it lol.

Sure but what's the actual action there? Implementation of a wealth tax? What property counts for that? Is there some other technique he/you are talking about? Taking a loan will now count as income?

That's exactly my point. There are people working hard to make these things happen and generally these are very well supported by the public, but without the plan behind them, theres no substance here.

The reason these don't get passed is because of the particulars of implementation. you can't write a bill with the only text being "universal healthcare" without a lot more to it. Once there's a lot more to it, then it gets picked apart and rejected.

So instead of banning tipping you mean removing minimum wage exceptions for tipping.

Fwiw a lot of restaurants worldwide are starting to include an obnoxious 12+% "service charge" that can be "removed" if you have a complaint. Basically, enforced tipping that wouldn't be changed by your "ban tipping" plan.

I definitely agree hard with more emphasis on removal of after-the-listed-price fees
