Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional.”

According to which constitution Melon ? You do realize that Brazil is a sovereign country and we have our own constitution right ? You know, the one that has explicit protections against hate speech, discrimination and harassment ?

Also, do you really think you know more about our constitution than a fucking Supreme Court Minister ?

You’re pathetic, Elmo.

According to the open-source intelligence (OSINT) site Molfar, Ukraine has sunk or damaged nearly 60 ships of the Russian Navy.

How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?

Holy! Shit!

I read this as “We’re not competitive on a global market anymore, so let’s retreat into an shrinking niche, until we’re gone or someone buys us”.

Sure, they can’t compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication… Oh, wait… those are US car makers. They wouldn’t know quality if it smacked them in the face.

Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.

I was wrong in one thing, it hasn’t been a thing for 10 years, but for 20. It was determined by the Minister of Justice, based on article 55 of the Consumer Protection Code. More here. I remember seeing some warnings on labels back when the rule was new. My opinion is that companies got smarter and realized that those warnings were damaging to their brands, so they just stopped with the practice of shrinking products, which is why you never noticed.

This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they’re enforced successfully.

If too many people do this, you bet “smart” TV peddlers will start bundling cellular modems on their devices, so they can connect directly to their servers without relying on your WiFi, just like car companies do. Blocking this would require enclosing the TV in a Faraday cage.

Taiwan, not PRC. Mainland China isn’t capable of making CPUs and GPUs whith the performance and low power draw needed for a portable console in the volumes necessary. They brute-forced their way into a 7nm process, but it’s expensive and low yields, so they’re using it only for crypto mining ASICs and Huawei phones.

To make a console like the Steam Deck, they would need an AMD64 chip on 5nm. Granted, Zhaoxin does have a licence for X86 architecture (inherited from Via, who got it when they bought Cirix), but they’re still far from being able to make those in 7 or 5nm.

Meanwhile, TSMC in Taiwain is already shipping 3nm chips for Apple and soon for AMD too.

Unless China figures out Extreme UV, like in the ASML machines, or direct stamping, like in recently announced Canon machines, they won’t be competitive with Intel, TSMC or Samsung anytime soon.

Fuck it ! I’m buying the game again. I have it on GOG and Google Play Store and now I’m buying it on Steam too, for no other reason than reward ConcernedApe for his amazing work.

I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.

Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.

Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).

One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.

Which means several years of development ahead to have working silicon, and that would mean AMD64 v1, which Windows and many libraries/application in Linux doesn’t support anymore.

In Debian Unstable, for example, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 reports that it only supports v2, v3 and v4. v3 architecture , so CPUs from Buldozer/Nehalen generation or later. That version of the architecture will still be protected for a few more years.

Since both Intel and AMD are competitors on both CPU and GPU markets, Nvidia’s only option is Zhaoxin, a joint venture between Via Technologies (who has a license for box X86 and AMD64) and Shanghai municipality.

Failing that, they would have to go with ARM and emulation, which would come with a performance penalty, or separate CPU and GPU chips, which would make the devices bigger and less power efficient than competing models with APUs.

In conclusion, don’t hold your breath. This talk about Nvidia handheld PCs is just to appease their shareholders and create FUD on AMD and Intel ones.

Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just “System”), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.

Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.

I could say the same about Microsoft.

That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.

In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like “Freeginx”. IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.

Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.

Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.

That site is likely written by AI, so is no surprise that it makes such stupid mistakes.

In that case, without encryption, your safety is zero. That’s the exact scenario that full-drive encryption was designed for.

Safe in what context ?

If the drive is mounted and data accessible, in case your computer is compromised by some kind of malware, well, the data will be easy to exfiltrate. Now, if the computer is turned off or the drive unmounted, that’s what encryption comes in to protect it.

So, basically, encryption will protect the data in case of physical theft of the drive or in case of remote hacking if the drive is un-mounted.

If India is anything like my country (Brazil), corruption is rampant and enforcement outside business environments is pretty much non-existent, so, no, no one is afraid of piracy for domestic use. We used to have street vendors and booths on strip malls selling all kinds of warez on CD/DVD. The only reason they’re not around anymore is because internet speeds here are already good enough that downloading is easier. And no, no one will cut you connection because of it, our congress already approved laws saying that access to digital communication is a civic right.
