In that case though, the person helping you doesn’t have the ability to solve the problem by changing code. They have to work around the bug to try to make it work for you in its broken state and report the problem to developers to fix in the next release. It’s a more difficult problem to solve

That is a lot of money to lose even back then.

Hacking without releasing a statement like this is just terrorism. Releasing a statement after hacking can make it easier for the govt to cover up, like “no we weren’t hacked, someone in our server room just accidentally tripped over a power cable”
shastaxc@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?4·3 months agoI need an ecmascript library that demuxes mpeg when fed individual frames. Every lib just wants to take in a whole file or URL to a stream. I need to filter the websocket sending the data so I need to feed individual frames to the lib. I’m only finding commonjs libs that do this

It does and up helping a little bit. I’m addition to government fines, they also risk class action lawsuits from their customers. I’m willing to bet this is more of a hurdle than China has for state owned companies.
shastaxc@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speedsEnglish2·3 months agoWorse than that, from the article:
The 50G-PON ITU-T standard supports theoretical speeds of up to 50 Gbps downstream and up to 25 Gbps upstream, though current real-world deployments in China - led by China Telecom, its regional branch Shanghai Telecom, and ZTE - typically provide 10 Gbps all-optical access.
So the 50G number is just theoretical and actual real world speed is only 10G. Due to regulations in the US, advertisements would need to advertise the real speeds. So this is really just the same as 10Gbps anywhere else.

shastaxc@lemm.eeto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Why do some programmers love emacs so much4·3 months agoDepends on the operation. There are some things, especially interacting with remote servers, that can be done with a GUI tool. For example, exploring a kubernetws cluster. Sure, you could enter 5 different commands to get the info you want, or you can use a GUI app like OpenLens that is constantly sending dozens of commands in a polling loop to display all kinds of info on one view.

shastaxc@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?1·3 months agoOh I haven’t heard that use. That is gross.
I was just thinking about this yesterday. These days, Lemmy is just making me depressed. I like to read comments to get further insight to articles, maybe someone trying to point out the author’s bias, or a joke. But Lemmy comments are all some variation of “the world is doomed”, “kill this person”, or “capitalism is the root of all woe”. They are neither useful, insightful, or improve my day in any way. Lemmy is making my life less enjoyable. It was already an overall negative and cynical space during the Biden administration; now it is unbearable.
I’ve been on Lemmy for a long time now, since Reddit killed 3rd party clients with their API change, but now I think I might go back to Reddit. The company itself has a lot of problems, but at least I can get a lot of non-doom content to fill my day.
