I mean... dry from... water. And often enough that I have many bags of silica packets that I reuse. Obviously.
edit: I spend a lot of time outdoors. My gear tends to suffer if I use it and then don't dry it before I put it away. I dont enjoy taking out some gear to use only to find it corroded or molded. Silica helps that. And for my needs, it is cheaper to reuse silica packs than it is to buy and run a(nother) dehumidifier.
I know the admins have unquestionable integrity (they certainly pretend as much) so surely they are going to retroactively pay every user who contributed their benchmarks for free. Right? When should I expect my first royalty check?
I call it this every chance I get because its like nails on a chalkboard to many DBAs.
edit: huh. both my clients have spoiler tags, but both are apparently broken. I can't decipher what Lemmy wants me to do for the markdown to fix it, probably the client not displaying it right.
edit 2: yeah, it looks correct on the default browser interface, but both apps I use (Boost for Lemmy and Eternity) fail to render a spoiler.
When I used to rack and stack servers, many moons ago, we would always connect them to a switch with LAN only so we could use SSH/SCP to harden them before they got exposed. This was for .gov stuff that would get attacked instantly.
Ahh yes, we should let our 4 and 7 year old kids have unfettered 24-hour access to porn, gore, and combat footage or we are treating them as literal subhuman animals.
Even if that were technically feasible from an interoperability perspective (which in many cases it is not, due to them using proprietary software) a parent putting Linux on it would certainly violate the acceptable use policy when the school inevitably finds out. Consequences from there will vary dramatically, but none are likely to be desirable outcomes. At the very least, they'd probably tell you to either restore the device, or pay for the cost of having their person do it.
Parents don't generally own these devices and are not going to be legally authorized to install software on them, generally. In the US, for example, unauthorized access along with "damaging" the device by removing the OS could very well be a crime (or several.) I doubt it would be prosecuted, but I personally don't have money to burn on lawyers.
edit: to be clear, where I live, these systems are typically owned either by the school system, or by a third party leasing agent.
Only someone who has never touched one would claim AI literally doesn't work. So I have to assume that's just for the sake of hyperbole because Lemmy hates AI. You probably just mean it doesn't live up to the marketing hype? Okay, thats... That's just how marketing works.
AI really will transform everything,
But, like, not yet? When will you declare it useful so I can go back to using AI in my daily life?
I'd've gone with rednecks. I think the stereotype is closer (for a certain segment.)
