  • The GOP Is Blocking A Last Ditch Effort To Bring Cheap Broadband To Poor Americans

    Jump

  • No internet means the gullible masses will remain uninformed and vulnerable to manipulation.

    The GOP wants a solid foundation of uneducated poor to exploit as the base workforce and voter base.

    Cheap idiots to fuel their companies.

  • True story

    Jump

  • I need a documenter!

    I have a head full of stuff that hasn't had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn't job security, it's a major risk.

    My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along "up-skilling" (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

  • European car safety body is coming for touchscreens. The European New Car Assessment Programme mandates that key controls need physical buttons or switches

    Jump

  • The car was the slow part, I have an S23+.

    The wrestling was figuring out getting BT audio ONLY.

    And until I reset the head unit to factory previous users, contacts, radio stations and destinations were all stored there.

    Not great on a rental car.

  • I'm happy with a Bluetooth connection to the stereo. I have maps on my phone.

    Fuck carplay/android auto in the ear.

    I hate getting a rental car and I just want my music, but it tries to hijack and download my whole phone.

    I want to get in, connect my phone and go. Not 20 minutes wrestling it for control.

    Digital displays are fine. It's just a display. But controls should be manual (buttons, dials, etc) that can be operated with eyes on road.

  • The job applicants shut out by AI: ‘The interviewer sounded like Siri’

    Jump

  • Motherfucker!

    If I was given an AI interview I would burn that place to the ground. The fucking disrespect.

  • My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.

    Jump

  • People make mistakes, that's why we automate things. If a system relies on a human not making mistakes it is doomed to fail eventually.

    Saving manually should be a feature, but autoaave should be on by default these days, unless 30+ years of people losing work due to not hitting "save" manually has taught us nothing.

    Crashes happen. Errors happen. Pets and children happen. Any major document editor should be able to auto save and replay a very long history of actions.

    Improve the system, because you can't improve people with a code patch.

  • As an individual with Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, and ADHD, that works in IT...

    This policy is incredibly ableist.

    Glad I don't live there.

    "Just ask for directions"... have you ever tried asking a french person for help as a tourist? A lot of restraunts won't even serve you, even if you're speaking French.

  • Amazon finds $1B jackpot in its 100 million+ IPv4 address stockpile | The tech giant has cited ballooning costs associated with IPv4 addresses

  • A massive swathe of current gen devices don't even support it.

    It won't be a month.

    Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.

  • Your password must also not contain the following character combinations: script, select, insert, update, delete, drop, --, ', /*, */.

    Jump

  • Maybe they filtered those strings to be safe, and put the notice there to answer the invertible "why won't it accept my password" queries.

    It's a shitty password engine. But not necessarily uncleansed

  • Reddit API blew up and now I run Linux?

    Jump

  • No. Some of us were already there.

    Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

    But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows... Because I know it backwards and upside down.

    The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

    But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft's enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

    So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it's MS SQL or a website).

  • Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes

    Jump

  • OP asked for feedback.

  • Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes

    Jump

  • Dude you're pretty condescending for a new author on an old topic.

    Yeah I read it and it's very over worded.

    1024 was the closest binary approximation of 1000 so that became the standard measurement. Then drive manufacturers decided to start using decimal for capacity because it was a great way to make numbers look better.

    Then the IEC decided "enough of this confusion" and created binary naming standards (kibi gibi etc...) and enforced the standard decimal quantity values for standard names like kilo-.

    It's not ground breaking news and your constant arguing with people in the thread paints you as quite immature. Especially when plenty of us remember the whole story BECAUSE WE LIVED IT AS IT PROFESSIONALS.

    We lacked a standard, a system was created. It was later changed to match global standard values.

    You portray it with emotive language making decisions out to be stupid, or malicious. A decision was made that was perfectly sensible at the time. It was then improved. Some people have trouble with change.

    Your writing and engagement styles scream of someone raised on clickbait news. Focus on facts, not emotion and sensationalism if you want to be taken seriously in tech writing.

    Focus on emotion and bullshit of you want to work for BuzzFeed.

    And if you just want an argument go use bloody twitter.
