“Systemd is the future”
  • Doesn't surprise me that a developer from Microsoft doesn't understand this. To this day, when I select "Update and Shut Down" in Windows, it only actually shuts the computer down about half the time.

    There are some tasks that only can be done when the majority of the system is not in use. Windows prepares the files, reboots, does its thing in a preboot environment, then it actually shuts down.

  • Garulefield
  • If you squint at it the switch says "cuck".

  • Absolute genius
  • ...context?

  • Google’s Privacy Chief Is Out And Will Not Be Replaced
  • Matthew Bye, Google’s head of competition law, will be leaving as well

    Bye Matthew

  • Always r(ule)emember what they took from you.
  • Huh, wouldn't that mean that Theo is almost 3 metres tall?

  • New ASUS router firmware now requires a user to be 16y or older and will restrict features and even security upgrades if you opt out
  • To be fair they called a lot of their "intelligent" features AiSomething wayyy before the LLM explosion happened. Their overclocking tool for Z97 motherboards (around 2014) was called AiSuite.

  • What Video games graphically hold up on their aesthetic?
  • Except the sims and pets themselves those were 3D models

  • btw
  • Before that, we need to talk about the latent heat and the refrigeration cycle

  • Sony Xperia 1 VI review
  • Apparently they give 3 years of OS + 1 year of security updates now

  • Nonbinary rule
  • If you can afford a gun you can afford a holster

  • Comcast to Launch Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ Bundle at a ‘Vastly Reduced Price’
  • I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV - and I still have to watch commercials.

    Wait. You're paying $230+ per month for internet and tv? Even if I was currently living in Western Europe, a fully maxed out package there wouldn't cost half of that and that's without the time gated discounts.
    (For comparison: tested with ziggo.nl, largest tv and largest internet package with landline phone comes out to ~€95/month)

  • How do I pass a coding test?
  • Better still they had actually taken it and put in into production in place of the code that CTO had written, and which was the basis of the “correct” solution.

    The test was just a set-up for free work.

  • LinkedIn is the latest company to get in on gaming
  • It's owned by MS. Just to give you a view how important do they think it is, if you're on Windows press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L on your keyboard.

  • Google Play Store rolling out simultaneous Android app downloads
  • Modern phones do a thing called "race to sleep". If they're awake every other background process also runs, so it's beneficial to do the task as quickly as possible then go back to sleep.

  • Stake F1 poster for Chinese GP
  • Oh, so the car is sliding towards a wall?

  • Please contribute your 3DS and Wii U SpotPass data before it's too late!

    > Hello everyone. For everyone who may own a 3DS or Wii U, I'm sharing this out to as many places I can think of, where the awareness can make an impact.

The SpotPass Archival Project has been created by the 3DS and Wii U Homebrew modding community, to make sure as much SpotPass data as humanly possible is preserved for the foreseeable future and not lost forever in the coming few days.

The data is stored offline locally on your 3DS and Wii U, so you may be confused as to why you can't just make the dump after the date.
