Yeah, likely true without some sort of legislation.

Well at least there’s a business opportunity for someone to reanimate these things and use them to push gacha games and energy drinks on the innocent children they’ve bonded with.

Surely in that case they could open their software so the community can figure out what it would take to keep it running.

There’s something like that near me, but it’s a Five Guys clone. Seems like a good idea if you can get established locally. Small menu, nothing complicated.

So, should I start hassling my ISP about my missing 350 Mbps? Is there some other obvious thing I should test before I hassle them? I certainly don’t want them to say “have you turned it off and on again”?

My ISP will treat anything under (I think) 90% of advertised speed as a technical problem, assuming it shows up on the modem speed test.

I had a problem recently where it was consistently slow, but only in the evenings. I was pretty sure it was a neighbourhood issue, but I still had to go through the whole troubleshooting script, replace the modem, get a tech out to check everythting, etc.

After none of that helped, the regular tech support didn’t know what else to try. Luckily there was a form on their site to escalate an issue. That put me in touch with an actual person with an email address, and they were able to get the issue sorted relatively quickly.

There’s actually a whole escalation process up to making a complaint with the regulator, but this is in Canada, so YMMV.

I used to have one, but everything I’d use it for should really be going in the compost, not the sewer.

I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:

People in Canada can’t view this content.

Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.

This seems reasonable. I don’t feel like Canada necessarily in a less precarious place than (e.g.) California.

I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

I’d just count calories and reduce the amount per day until you’re losing weight.

The time of day you eat things shouldn’t really matter. This will also teach you really quickly how to feel full on minimal calories. For me I just try to eat something like raw carrots when I want a snack.

It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.

Yeah, I would love to stop getting potato quality videos on MMS, but not enough to install a proprietary app. I’ll just have to create matrix accounts for more people.

I can’t vouch for it as a music player, but it’s what I use for videos when I can’t get on a bigger screen. It’s nothing like the desktop app, so you might want to give it a try.

I love that you have a very specific and arguably moral crime in mind, and it inspired this post.

I guess at the 2028 Olympics they’ll be jumping on the AI bandwagon.

I was expecting something in the article to back it up, like sales figures, but I couldn’t find anything.

Does it actually tell you the results? I’m curious how they score your driving, and how effective it is. The scariest things I see on the road are things like:

• distracted driving
• tailgating
• lack of awareness

I don’t see how they’d measure how safe a driver you are.

Perhaps it’s just that people are more careful when they know they’re being monitored, and safe drivers are more likely to opt in?

Oh yeah, that was pretty much the point I was trying to make too.

There’s actually not that much autotools jank, really. There’s configure.ac and a few Makefile.am. The CMakeLists.txt in the root is bigger than any of those files.

There’s also some stuff from autotools archive in m4/. IMO that’s a bad practice and we should instead be referencing them as a build dependencies.

I’m not convinced this backdoor would have been significantly more difficult to hide in the cmake code.

Emacs I assume.
