  • I don’t hate that much but I don’t watch him because of the shady selling business hr often does and apparent sponsored content which is not always disclosed (been a while but his channel misrepresented graphics cards benchmarks for example).

    It’s like the British yellow press for me: his face alone is enough to discredit the quality of the source. Could it be good? Sure! Will I ever find out? Not anymore.


  • At least in Germany it’s the same. It gets ignored in the discussions concerning nuclear exit but it’s actually the main reason why I’m not aggressively against it: we have save areas for nuclear storage but those fight bitterly to not have it. The areas which are currently used are… Not good. Paying someone else (such as Finland) is out of budget for both state and energy companies. The latter anyway want to do the running but not the maintenance and the building, state should pay for that.

    It’s really white sad for me. The (true) statement that the dangerous waste needs to be stored carefully got corrupted to “it can’t be stored”.











  • The systematic change you describe would make sure that people are “on time” though, just redefining on what that meaning.

    Being “on time” I understand as one of two things:

    • Being in a place you agreed to be at a time you agreed to.
    • Something happens for a lot of people and it was announced beforehand that this will do.

    The first one is your responsibility, the latter is impossible to make in a way that works for everyone.

    I don’t understand how this “change” should look like, what you’d expect people to do for meeting each other and events.

    Of course I’m fine with “I take public transport I’ll be there between four and six” as a statement for punctuality. Beyond that though?




  • It’s the server doing the meddling, don’t forget that! Email servers have two things to base an analysis off of: the trustworthyness of the senders header data and the content.

    Header analysis will quickly kill messages from the fake servers but only after a certain amount of spam is identified - the computer doesn’t “read” the alphabet, it just sees valid encoded symbols. It’s the humans job to find the traffic lights, so to say.

    And content analysis is a cold war of attrition: building better filters leads to better tricks leads to better filters, etc.

    The only way I have found to stay spam free is customizing my address for each potential sender (i.e. scipilemmy@mydomain.net).that was a lot of work to set up though…


  • You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:

    Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!

    Fucking why doesn’t this compilation start I can’t find my mistake for hours?!

    Where does this module come from?! What do you mean “root kit”? Learning was fun!

    It all was fun! :)


  • Is there anything to support this? I couldn’t find anything that really has this intend documented and Intel weren’t the only on pushing for usb as the most simple protocol possible ( I recall a lot of excitement about the “u” part… How naive at least I was back then!).

    I’m not knowledgeable enough to really argue against it, looking simply from an Okham point of view as “they wanted everything to connect” - the printer in the same way as that PDA… Plus Intels de facto (IT) world domination at the time it just seems unlikely.

    Edit: some sentences didn’t make even less sense, fixed.
