I know, right? Seems like a really cool project, and for that cheap, small non-profits could get their own.

Does it need to be folding? What if you borrowed the leg idea from something like this?

He was also communicating a worldview that’s increasingly central to the political strategy of his allies in the U.S. conservative movement—that environmental advocates who push for urgent action to avert climate catastrophe are followers of a “pseudo-religion” seeking to impose socialist control over every aspect of modern society.

What an absolute, self-fallating idiot. But then, there’s lots of money to be made by pretending to be smart in the right-wing griftosphere; it’s not hard, when your slobbering demographic has the collective intelligence of a single snail and the attention of a toddler.

It’s also a pretty big self-own to find religion, pseudo or otherwise, problematic. He’s basically implying that people with religious zeal are irrational and authoritarian, and that says a lot more about him and his followers than it does about people who follow the science.

He’s useful, because he is the lone “expert” they can wield like a club. Peterson will be remembered as having marginally interesting ideas, once upon a time, and descending into paranoid narcissism in his later years.

One of the buttons around the screen mutes them, in case you weren’t aware. I’ve found that it’s usually one of the ones on the top right, but it can vary.

Yep, that’s because the actual data transfer was handled by the more capable device, instead of only the guest. I think the standard also required a minimum throughput, iirc, whereas USB only had a maximum.

I miss FireWire, too.

TBH, they should put all their effort into making Pantheon better. NixOS’s installer has Pantheon, and it feels pretty much the same; that’s clearly 90% of what makes elementaryOS unique.

Trying to make a walled garden in Linux with their software choices was what turned me off to the project, and you’ll never attract Linux-minded people by forcing them into a box.

Tl;Dr It’s complicated.

Do you mean 5Ghz networks (5G is cellular tech, after all)? If so, 5Ghz can travel through walls, but it doesn’t travel as far, because there’s an inverse relationship between range and channel width. Also, 5Ghz has a shorter wavelength; some of the signal’s light will get absorbed by the walls, but not all of it.

Ultimately, you’d still have the same problem: too many radios sharing a limited range of frequencies on a band would interfere with each other if sufficiently close.

It would be akin to having everyone playing different music at full volume on their own personal speaker; you’ll inevitably hear the people closest to you. Radios can’t “hear” anything outside of their chosen frequency (channel), but if other people nearby are also on that channel, you might catch or lose some unintended packets, triggering a resend event (TCP) or causing stuttering/lag (UDP).

The number of channels available for 5Ghz varies by country, with the EU having the most, iirc. In the US, if you try to force your router to use one of the blacklisted channels, your devices will likely not connect (unless they were directly imported), despite being able to use the 5Ghz spectrum.

If there’s enough space between them, it would be less of an issue. If it was in a multifamily high rise with hundreds of units, I would expect it to cause issues.

Admittedly, Intel is running out of margin. Whatever the real reason for the 20A cancellation, there is very little time left to prove that 18A is everything Intel claims. And yet the prize for Intel if it can deliver with 18A is monumental.

Simply because we’ve done the whole “single point of failure” before when it comes to markets, I hope they succeed, so we don’t have a repeat of the chip shortage in 2020. Giant companies suck, but we’d all feel that one if TSMC was the only player and got swept up into a military pissing contest between China and the US.

So it’s a network operated by a third party? That’s interesting. The handful of universities I’ve been to maintain their own.

That seems pretty standard stuff. My dorm had the same policy, because they operated their own mesh network and didn’t want students sending out their own radio signals that would have absolutely made their wireless network not work well.

Is there some reason you need your own router?

ETA: The student dorm people probably meant a network switch. Regular, non-techy people don’t usually know the difference between a router and a switch.

MagSafe and magnetic Qi chargers have been around for years. They’re also in many earbud cases and earbuds themselves (besides the transducer).

The problem isn’t that it’s magnetic, the problem is that it’s a solution to a problem almost nobody has, excepting perhaps people without upper limbs.

Because as we know, shirts and other layers falling off our bodies is a problem we all face. And what we need to solve it is an over-engineered button.

It also presumes you have a contact number. Some big companies don’t for the reason you mentioned, and some smaller ones don’t, because they have no need for a business number.

I like it. Wonder if this could be retooled to work on rpm-ostree systems, because any layered packages installed from RPM files have the same limitation of needing to be manually upgraded.

Don’t use Meta products.

Ftfy. 😁

Absolutely this. In the town I moved from, Craigslist was the defacto town market. In this one, it’s FB Marketplace.

FB doesn’t have a stranglehold because they’re better; these spaces can and do evolve organically.

I hope we see an evolution of licensing. Giant companies shouldn’t get a free pass if they’re just going to treat the original devs like a commodity to be used up.
