Ethernet is Still Going Strong After 50 Years
  • Why wouldn't it be? I don't understand the point of this article. It's not like some other direct P2P communication medium is going to come along and upend it. It doesn't really make sense to run fiber inside your home. You don't need that kind of bandwidth for such a small number of devices and it would be prohibitively expensive since you need a specialized, highly trained technician to run it - unlike Ethernet, where any sufficiently motivated person can do so. I've heard that the people that run fiber for ISPs make something like $200/hr or so.

  • Palestinian Death Toll in Gaza Tops 13,000 as Israel Repeatedly Strikes U.N. Schools Housing Refugees
  • Why is the IDF still relying on bombing and artillery strike to stop Hamas if it's proven it causes such high civilian casualties?

    You're funded and supplied by the largest military industrial complex in the world and its allies and you're telling me you can't get troops on the ground to rescue hostages?

    It almost seems intentional at this point and if they keep this up, between them blowing the shit out of Gaza and Hamas executing/torturing hostages, there won't be anyone left to rescue.

  • Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated
  • There are significant differences between statistical models and AI.

    I work for an analytics department at a fortune 100 company. We have a very clear delineation between what constitutes a model and what constitutes an AI.

  • Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.
  • If this is true the crowd on here that often says Firefox is really owned by Google because Google pays Mozilla to have their search engine be the default search engine on Firefox really need to look at their claim and rethink their understanding of how Mozilla and Google interact.

  • Reviews for Starfield on Steam drop to "Mixed"
  • When fallout 4 was in development, Bethesda had to crunch and have non-developers who had little to no experience in the engine (like writers) work in the creation kit to flesh out the rest of the game. This led to many quests being implemented entirely separate from each other with little to no input from other teams or staff members and is a major reason why fallout 4 base game feels so disjointed once you actually start exploring it.

    It wouldn't surprise me if they had to do the same thing with starfield.

  • Debian being insanely stable
  • If you're running Debian stable, your hardware was probably too new for the kernel. Unless they changed their development paradigm when I last ran it, stable is always 2-3 years behind mainline Linux software aside from security patches. It's one of the key reasons why it's so stable.

    See the Don't Suffer from Shiny Stuff Syndrome on the official wiki.

  • TX school bans trans boy from playing "Oklahoma!" male lead, recasts with cisgender male student
  • Just want to point out that this statement makes it very clear that the original decision was reactionary discrimination against a minority in the first place.

    Following the closed meeting, a board member, Wendy Vellotti, put forward the motion to reinstate the original version and cast of the production as it was before the gender rule was created.

    Edit: The school board is now launching an investigation into the actions of the superintendent.

  • He is a Hard Worker
  • I don't understand why people pick on tradesman as if they're somehow lesser than them.

    There's lots of skill and knowledge that goes along with doing any trade.

    Also, while it's back breaking work, and you often work overtime, construction workers make bank.

    This is an aged and outdated take that devalues the contributions of a very important job.

    All jobs are skilled labor.
