Most people don’t think super hard about their political ideology.
This is perhaps the most important insight one can have when it comes to entertaining the 'fun' discussions on christmas dinner. Both in constructing an argument and maintaining healthy relationships.
People really cling to being a "good" person. And not thinking can serve as a shield to maintain this; at least within one's own self-image.
I once got myself a small projector. It ran on Android. I didn't want to connect it to my network. Unfortunately, an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot would sometimes pop up nearby, which the damn thing would connect to in order to download ads and bother me with nonsense.
The workaround was to give it Wi-Fi, but block the internet connection in the router. The solution was to throw it away. Malicious little fuck.
I can't really fahom any use case where a typical home NAS would benefit from ECC memory. These things come with 1-8 GB of RAM and read and write files. At worst they transcode files.
How do I put this?
The chace that an error (that would otherwise be corrected by simple ECC DIMMs) will irretrievably destroy your files, is super duper low. Especially compared to human error or software bugs. And if your files are really that important, you need a proper backup anyway.
And if you have a proper backup, then even the most unlikely unfortunate chain of of-by-one errors shouldn't matter.
Like, get ECC, if you want. But… "useless"?
Also: I belive the Pi5 features some sort of on-die ECC.
Not really. But from a security perspective, giving software for a video game, done by InfinityWard, EA, Activision, Treyarch and similar, access to the lowest level of your operating systen is kinda insane.
I wouldn't want any personal data on such a device, let alone do online baking on that thing. It's weird how normalized it has become give entertainement-software this kind of power over your devices.
1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg.
1kg (of anything) is 1000g.
1g of water is 1cm³.
Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column.
This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base.
1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.
And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal.
Meanwhile if you convert feet to miles, you get 5,280, for some reason.
Weder Bokeh noch eine hübsche Farbpalette sind Garant für ein KI-Bild.
Ich hatte so ein Kommentar auch neulich unter einem Scheißepfosten von mir. Und obwohl es ein Scheißepfosten(!) war hat's mich minimal traurig gemacht, dass so ein Kommentar kam. Vorallem, weil ich beim fotografieren die Kamera vor leisem glucksen kaum still gehalten bekommen hab.
Andere Hersteller bieten oft nicht die Voraussetzungen, welche von GrapheneOS verlangt werden.
Und "auch gut" ist halt nicht genug, wenn man Opfer eines gezielten Angriffs ist. Das System muss in diesem Fall einfach halten. Und weder Lineage, /e/ o.ä. würde ich (als ganz persönliche Meinung und mit einem beherzten Löffel Halbwissen) mein Vertrauen aussprechen. Da lassen sich teilweise nicht mal die Bootloader nach'm Flashen wieder schließen.
*an AI describes part of a scene in a movie, badly.
And the title is something like “HE USES SUPERPOWERS TO SAVE HIS FRIEND #MOVIE #FILM #CINEMA #SHORTS”. Also, the name of the channel is any two word combination of: movie, cinema, star, summary, domain or reels. And each upload is either 15 to 25 minutes or a short and the channel uploads something every day.
Once a user came into our office on the verge of tears. Her notebook wouldn't boot and she thought that meant her thesis was lost.
Didn't make a backup either.
But luckily it was the mainboard that quit and not the SSD. So we were able to decrypt it and get her up and running again. After we told her to make a backup next time, she was so happy that she wanted to give us money. We refused.
Come next day, she stormed in, without saying a word. Just threw a pile of candy and a handful of soft drinks on our table and ran off before we could do anything about it.
Man. Those poor souls. Sent by some wanker who neither knows nor cares about them, just to die for some bullshit game. Their one chance to experience anything wiped out for eternity.
