Pretty sure mine was 16399753. But, not logged in for probably 15 or more years, so could be wrong.

No idea whatsoever about the password :P

Well good news. Because ipv6 has a thing called privacy extensions which has been switched on by default on every device I’ve used.

That generates random ipv6 addresses (which are regularly rotated) that are used for outgoing connections. Your router should block incoming connections to those ips but the os will too. The proper permanent ip address isn’t used for outgoing connections and the address space allocated to each user makes a brute force scan more prohibitive than scanning the whole Ipv4 Internet.

So I’m going to say that using routable ipv6 addresses with privacy extensions is more secure than a single Ipv4 Nat address with dnat.

Weird. Ipv6 and YouTube stats for nerds shows between 140mbit and 600mbit depending on what’s being watched and the time of day.

Is it possible your isp has problems with their ipv6 setup?

IPv6 overheads should only have a marginal impact on max speeds.

Per 100g is quite normal across Europe too (because you can kinda treat the values like a percentage or at least compare to any other product). We usually in the UK have per 100g and either per serving size or package size.

I think in 99% of use cases, upgrading isn’t a problem. Most of the time new SQL versions are backward compatible. I’ve never personally had a problem upgrading a database for a product that expects an older version.

They do have compatibility modes too, but those only go back so far too.

But, I think companies with their production databases for perhaps older complex systems are likely very weary of upgrading their working database. This is most likely where this situation comes from. Imagine being the person responsible for IT, that upgraded the DB server and database to the latest version. Everything seemed to be working fine. Then accounts run their year-end process, it falls over and now there are months of data in the newer version that won’t work properly. It’d be an absolute pain to get things working again.

Much safer to leave that SQL 2005 server doing what it does best. :P

Work laptop, it stays closed, and I use my two screens connected to it. After Covid, everyone wanted video calls. Nope, I’m not getting the laptop out from the back of the desk for you.

Anyone hacking the webcam can get a view of the base of the laptop.

I’d like a proper hardware light. Something physical such that the camera cannot send the image back to the board without the light being on. And yes, a physical cutout switch would definitely be nice.

It already exists. Although it’s not AI, and mostly works best when using channel logos to work out the ad breaks.

Wow, an alien ion drive formula! Try to get warp drive out of it too!

There are, and I think the only real difference has been the community support. The community was behind the original pi and the guides, images and support show that, and it continues to this day.

If this becomes “enshittified” then communities will grow around the alternatives, it’s likely there will be an overall winner (or winners per class) and we’ll move on. The device itself wasn’t ever the whole story.

Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

The S24 (all versions) didn’t.

Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite. Would you like a toasted teacake?

I said what I said!

That should be illegal. Any editor containing the letters vi together must not use any keys except those that can be sent over a vt100 terminal!

Kinda on brand though somehow.

You’re right, that sounds better than the average HR rep.

I feel like I skipped right over this comment.

The activities the program is said to engage in include constantly resetting the user’s web browser homepage to bonzi.com without the user’s permission, prompting and tracking various information about the user, installing a toolbar, and serving advertisements

Looks to me like they taught Microsoft well in this area.

Yeah. But they’ll likely make Azure Recall running on their own AI hardware. You’ll have to opt out (on every windows update) of their ad driven free model that uses your data to target ads, and sell your overall profile on.
