Thank you… I hate all the people who are “we’ll permanently destroy the earth and it’ll never recover!” crowd. Maybe for us it’ll be too inhospitable and we won’t survive, but nature is surprisingly resilient. From bacteria that can eat oil and plastic, to entire generations of flora and fauna living in irradiated landscapes, it will adapt and be here long after we’re gone.

I know too many devs to have my body require a firmware update.

You went Tiananmen Square on it.

Nation favors local incumbent, news at 11…

Control is another thing. I can’t tell you the amount of execs I’ve heard say “they’re losing control of their company” or “I don’t feel I have the same control over my people”. It’s crazy that they think that. What do they think the past 3 years have been when they’ve gotten record profits “oh, but our profits would be even better if we had people back in the office”. Sadly no amount of data will override the entrepreneurial “it could always be more” what if that they throw out.

Keep going back much, much further. I remember hearing that phrase back in the early 2000s, and wouldn’t doubt it if if was referenced as early as 1999.

I live dangerously. I have it set to show NSFW and to not blur it in my feed. Give me all of Lemmy unfiltered.

How it’s implemented can vary, but you’re gonna take one of three approaches

• Microsegmentstion - On a home network this is the hardest but ensures there’s no overlap
• Separate VLAN - this is usually good if your router can support it and have multiple gateways for each VLAN. Your router can then restrict traffic. Unifi gear does this well and I use this set up to segment my guest and IoT traffic
• Separate subnets - if your router doesn’t support multiple VLANs this can work, but you still need a router that supports it

The latter two can actually work with an unmanaged switch as long as you tag your vlans correctly. The key is having a router than can handle it.

Easy to confuse stupidity with malice. They’re chasing one thing and one thing only: the almighty dollar. Look at it through that lens and their actions make sense. For the rest of us though, that’s just stupid.

I did that as a kid in school passing notes!

I’ll look into SetEdit, thank you!

You can change it once connected, but every time it defaults back to LDAC

Side by side test with my headphones showed better speration of the range (including bass) and a more solid connection, especially while flying. Kept having LADC constantly try to bitrate switch on me, and when I set it on highest quality it kept cutting in and out at times. Sample size of 1 so YMMV.

I actually prefer AptX HD but I wish my Android would default to it instead of LDAC

Ah Slackware, the first time that I learned software could damage hardware. It has the option to also configure hsync on your CRT monitor, and if said monitor didn’t correctly validate the range it would permanently fuck it up.

Spoiler alert: she didn’t buy it for you to see…

2 is kinda the WIS vs INT debate. You may be able to memorize and recall things but not understand and act on nuances in the moment.

It’s a flerkin.

Ever seen the Animatrix? Shows how the machines rose up to enslave humans. They used nuclear weapons against humans because the radiation hurt humans but not them, even though an EMP would. If anything I think our AI overlord would start with a chemical weapon since that won’t hurt them at all and there’s no chance for getting caught in the blast or the EMP wave.
