  • It's been ten years since the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

    This was a plot point in that game, as well as its prequel, Ground Zeroes.

  • Berlin: Police can secretly enter homes for state trojan installation

  • I think installing spyware on someone's device is two or three steps more drastic a measure than a simple search, which is about the extent of what a court order can authorize police to do right now. It feels conceptually close to tampering with evidence present at a (possible) crime scene. To add to this, spyware is not the same thing as installing a physical listening device in someone's home. It requires far-reaching permissions on a system, and can influence lots of other software on the same system. You'd have to have an extreme level of confidence that this won't lead to accidental or intentional planting of incriminating material. And, in my opinion that sort of load-bearing trust is not really something law enforcement has earned in the general case.

  • Amazon Web Services Had a Very Bad Day, Amazon's Stock Price Did Not

    Jump

  • I feel like as an argument, this isn't really saying a lot. There's an idea that markets, including the information economy that a stock market hinges on, are efficient, and thus, inaccurate pricing pretty much cannot exist. But if you remember that this is just a convenient oversimplification, you realize that stock markets haven't ever once reflected reality from, like, the day they were invented.

    The article is also a bit lazy in arguing that an AWS outage should be bad news for AWS. To the contrary, this outage serves as a powerful reminder how commonly used, depended on, and entrenched AWS has become — traditionally, outages tend to raise stock prices of companies suffering technical failures. It's more curious that in this case, no significant change either way seems to have happened.

  • Where in Settings would this be? Cellular?

  • I like this. The very best horse archer is probably a centaur, but they'd be exceedingly rare. You can match good archers with good horses at scale, which probably makes up for the coordination disadvantage in any situation outside of single combat between champions of nation states.

    Or, uh, that's what I heard.

  • Is it "safe" to use an own domain for Mails?

    Jump

  • If you only ever use this mail domain to send messages to or receive messages from people who don't know your name and address, why not. Any old infoleak would otherwise indelibly associate that domain with that personal info.

  • Remastering ‘Final Fantasy Tactics’ Was Much Harder Than It Seemed

    Jump

  • Eh, did War of the Lions not happen? Doesn't that imply some missing content in this remaster?

  • Can I mrrrreow meow meow mrrrp meow meow :3 during chess tournament?

  • My Tesla had this weird error message on screen

    Jump

  • If only people would take this stuff to heart. Tesla prices haven't budged 🤷

  • How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse.

    Jump

  • If your idea of a federated Twitter is a bunch of mini-Twitters that sometimes exchange indirect replies or something, then the Fediverse fulfills that purpose completely. Mission accomplished, we can all go home now.

    If your idea is that the replies to every post look the same to any user, anywhere, at any time, even the thing Mastodon merged half a year ago that supposedly fetches all replies if you remember to navigate to the topmost post, and wait up to 15 minutes for your view of the thread to coalesce, falls short.

    And this is why hosting Mastodon is cheap, it fundamentally cannot provide the functionality BlueSky offers. Of course, you might think that such functionality is not desirable anyway, and that's entirely fair. But if you're looking for the immediacy that centralized Twitter gave users, I don't see a way for Fedi to ever provide that, whereas there is a path to BlueSky decentralization. It's a fact that your UX is diminished if all of your followers and followeds are not on the same instance.

    But in the end, I think there is space for both.

  • Phone Recommendation

    Jump

  • I must be the worst autist on planet Earth, because to "tinker with every facet of" my mobile phone is about the last thing I want to do.

    So, definitely not iOS, because I'm pretty happy with iOS; also there's no expectation of LARPing as a sysadmin for my phone, precisely because that simply isn't possible to any meaningful extent.

  • I wonder what they think about their Pipeline Punch customers. Specifically, how much overlap is there with, y'know, the memes?

  • Google will throttle your Pixel 10's battery, and there's nothing you can do about it

    Jump

  • Will it not add artificial slowing regardless? I think the controversial aspect of this strategy is that it doesn't care about the state of the battery, it just counts cycles.

  • Google will throttle your Pixel 10's battery, and there's nothing you can do about it

    Jump

  • Apple throttled (and continues to throttle) device performance because going full power draw on a battery with higher than specified internal resistance will just end in a device shutdown.

    They do this once there's a first unexplained shutdown. So that takes your actual battery health into account. In contrast, Google says "200 charges should be enough for anybody" and imposes its policy no matter what your actual battery looks like.

  • Correlation between screen size and your importance in the company

  • Eh.

    Username checks out.

  • Parallel Empires

    Jump

  • I don't know, since I didn't have to specifically buy anything to get that throughput. So, in my case, it cost me nothing.

    It was just an ISP-provided router and an older Mac Studio. I didn't check but there's a good chance the wireless link actually supports even higher bandwidth; at the time, I was bottlenecked by the 1 Gbps connection to my ISP.

  • USB-A, FireWire and that video output converged to Thunderbolt, which also means I can connect several displays to e.g. a 2021 MacBook Pro. The separate headphones and microphone jacks got merged as well. After the whole Touch Bar brouhaha, the card reader and HDMI also made their return.

    So the one connector we did lose is Ethernet. Which, to be fair, is a bummer indeed. Luckily, we can easily push 1 Gbps over Wi-Fi nowadays.

  • The dangerous push by Canonical to rewrite GNU coreutils as Rust code without the GNU license

    Jump

  • It's been a while since I last touched Rust, but there's a discussion on whether to commit Cargo lockfiles to version control, and the consensus is basically that you should do it if your crate is primarily a binary, and, conversely, you shouldn't if it's primarily a library. It acknowledges that code at the apex of the dependency graph should follow different rules than everything below it, and this kind of reasoning could apply to licenses in similar ways.

    Jump

  • That's the most sensible thing I've read all day. I think much of the reasoning for Cargo lockfiles could apply here as well.
