20 years of hoarding CVEs down the drain.

Now they’ll never be able to gg ez their way into any country and will have to actually use their bribery budget to get more implants lol.

I have wiped a toner cartridge with a paper towel and chucked thst sucker back into a ye olde HP from 20 years ago with a broken guider clip and it still prints perfectly fine.

I wiped it because it was leaving a smudge at the edge of the paper after never cleaning the rollers for aforementioned 20 years.

I guess I can add briefcase printer for mission impossible as a use case for inkjet lol

inkjet

Virtually useless unless it supports non consumer ink cartridges or you buy chinese drop in knockoffs.

And even then only if you need to print graphics/images in high quality.

All hail laser.

Framework’s whole thing is upgradable laptops. The increased cost is what you pay for the upgradable platform instead of buying a new laptop.

Repairability has already been proven multiple times by several OEMs like Lenovo.

Even if the repair process itself becomes tedious, the mark of a quality OEM is offering parts and schematics that allow repair shops to disgnose and fix broken machines.

Unlike Apple, which actively prohibits their vendors from selling any parts to anyone except Apple.

Yeah I might switch over too because immich didn’t originally have some of the sort and detection features like Photoprism.

Photoprism is pretty good but it doesn’t have some of the nicer UI features immich has.

My old windows install was so cooked thst I had successfully made an illegal CON file (cygwin?) on NTFS, which Windows would refuse to delete because it should be impossible to make such a file.

After a completely fresh install, the settings app refused to launch after a day and of course sfc/dism did jack all.

Said “screw it” and dual booted Fedora because my previous experience with Ubuntu sucked snd I saw that video of Linus saying he never used Debian or Ubuntu because it didn’t used to be user friendly to install. Searched up his preferred distro and it was Fedora.

Kept Windows around for a couple of months for one game until one day windows overwrote grub after an update.

Nuked it again and installed only Fedora. Found out the game now had solid support in proton so I literally did not miss anything from Windows.

Photoprism users every time this topic comes up

Sorta annoyed Nintendo didn’t receive as much flak as this with hoards of people trying to justify game cards by pointing at Microsoft and Sony.

I think it’s funny to think that the NSA has probably defeated RSA and those sketchy ECDSA curves, but they still haven’t broken AES because its symmetric.

that they do try to subvert standards processes.

This is why RSA is considered weak even at 4096. No hacker or APT is gonna break it but the NSA probably can and probably has, even if it was some loophole implementation bug.

When you assume nation state funding and leverage, a lot of baseline security standards go out the window.

I skimmed the title for a sec and thought “what’s wrong with orbital stations?” before realizing the utter stupidity that graced my vision.

FOSS users when there’s a software that’s free but not open source

There’s a black market for export to China but they’d need to already have contacts or involvement for that to work.

Although ot would be way funnier to see unobtainium enterprise gear end up on ebay lol.

Hey let’s be fair here, we already had bosses barraging their employees with nonsensical directives long before LLMs lol

Ali express but the prices end up being the same because the demand is still to high for China to match the supply.

I think they’re a bit cheaper if you buy within China, but globally it ends up being better to pick a good OEM with proper warranty.

Friendly reminder that 5G service availability in the US is still dogshit and often incurs packet loss which you can mitigate by disabling 5G which forces your device to operate at 4G/LTE which has a superior range.

Of course they could have set a software preference for LTE over 5G when PL is detected, but that advanced technology used by literally every other multiband radio standard is too complicated for billion dollar OEMs and service providers to implement.

The only way this succeeds if is Micron betrays the other two like last time and makes a better desl for themselves in exchange for being a snitch.

Otherwise they won’t be able to gather enough evidence for a quick trial and this will last close to a decade before each company agrees to some penny handouts.

Unless they’re really dumb and didn’t learn to hide their collusion from the last time they did this.

Supersized Form Factor

If you want something that fits the SFF cube shape so you can throw it next to a TV or desk for video output, you can probably go for the SYS-A22GA-NBRT.

Easy to upgrade CPU & RAM later down the line if you start doing more stuff with it, plus space for dedicated GPU if you ever want to do heavy media server stuff.

Would avoid pi due to the underperformance for the price. Plus best bang for buck usable storage will always be HDDs. SD cards are nice but you have to disable journaling to keep the writes low as to not wear down usable blocks.

Yes, example: https://hub.docker.com/r/dyonr/qbittorrentvpn

tbh I would just combo a compose with a seperate qbittorrent and vpn container on the same pod.

That way you can set proper iptable rules if needed and perma bind qbittorrent to the vpn interface.

We already have the second and the first is based on the idea that qbits can be stabilized enough to actually accomplish any of the algorithms that would make quantum computers useful.

In 2001, Shor’s algorithm was demonstrated by a group at IBM, who factored 15  into 3 × 5 , using an NMR implementation of a quantum computer with seven qubits.[10] After IBM’s implementation, two independent groups implemented Shor’s algorithm using photonic qubits, emphasizing that multi-qubit entanglement was observed when running Shor’s algorithm circuits.[11][12] In 2012, the factorization of 15  was performed with solid-state qubits.[13] Later, in 2012, the factorization of 21  was achieved.[14] In 2016, the factorization of 15  was performed again using trapped-ion qubits.[15] However, none of these demonstrations fulfill the requirements of Shor’s algorithm: they compile the circuit using prior knowledge of the solution, and some have even oversimplified the algorithm in a way that makes it equivalent to coin flipping.[16]

Unless the US MIC has evidence that Quantum computing is reaching viability, this is just them hedging their bets in case some research actually leads to something, which means it’s currently just a pre-emptive hype train.
