I’ve often described Europe as being the ‘other end of the internet’ since from Australia it’s often routed over the Pacific to US(via Hawaii and either Guam or New Zealand), over the US, then over the Atlantic.

tu.berlin is 316ms away.

I’d not rather have no PC.

I’ll just keep my existing PC(s).

Also I guess it’d Lumberjacky/Lumberjacqueline

Do what we did during the space race and pump cash into innovation, science, and research.

Oh they are. For AI. Instead of scrambling to Fusion, they’re putting the money into generating nudes of celebrities.

Forced ‘innovation’ see-

• Windows 8/10/11

• Gnome 3

Also add S109=0 to force k56flex, since it’s (like 3kbps) faster than v.90

the browser is just the biggest attack vector on my system and I really-

Want to add another 8 software suites worth of vulnerabilities to that…

Over to Waterfox then.

I don’t care if there is a way to ‘disable it’ (there won’t be) - if it’s there, it not on my PC.

Raspi4?

$94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn’t been reliable since Covid)

Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it’s CPU decode only, can’t handle AV1.

2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.

Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.

I wonder if it’s even worth it now.

Might be better to try and wing it on your own if you want reliability.

Gov and corpos will keep using it since it absolves them of responsibility.

Imagine the discovery phase! (or don’t, yuck)

It’s 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 for the GPU.

24GB total, non-unified.

Seems like he thinks the shutdown is actually better for Trump-

One MAC might have multiple IP addresses.

You’re right that it’s unfortunate that one American entity gets to decide ipv4/v6 address space though.

They zigged when we all zagged.

Decentralisation has always been the answer.

Software quality collapse

That started happening years ago.

The developers of .net should be put on trial for crimes against humanity.

Why shouldn’t I make the Torment Nexus!?

Sounds like Discord is about to have 2 million cases of arbitration to sort out.

One person takes them to arbitration, it’s short work for their legal team, if 1000 do it’s harder, if 100,000 do, you still have to respond in a timely manner. The costs would be astronomical.

Valve and a few others removed it for that reason, it’s a bomb waiting to blow.

It hasn’t taken any jobs, but this will keep being repeated so it can be used as a bludgeon against pay rises and keeping up with inflation.

‘you’re lucky to have a job’

No Raspi support for AV1 either. I’m stuck in patent hell HEVC land.

Look at those sleek lines, it all interlocks.

AV7 is clearly the best.

Av7 - oh god imagine if you pulled that seven in a bit. Sexy.
