As usual. Our government, your government, totally clueless about how the internet works or what it actually is. And with all the money they waste every day, there seems to be no cent left to get some professional who could explain things on a politicians mental level. We’ve got people who successful teach computers to seniors, maybe politicians should hire some…

I had a hard time explaining to the powers that are that AI would not be able to help in any way, simply because there is no knowledge base available for this kind of job of which it could have learned anything worthwhile.

Oh, memories. A CD-R was 25 quid, burn speed was “single”, and the success rate was about 50%.

And the equipment costs had four digits.

That is what, six years old?

The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.

Better not. You know what all saints have in common? They are dead.

Especially as some laws in some countries refer to such standards. This should be illegal, or at least the country should see to get a licence for it’s citizens.

Sadly, Trump is lacking the guts for this move.

Within hours, an estimated 70% or more of America-First Pro-MAGA accounts had been exposed as being run by foreign agents instead."

Not all Russian assets sit in the US.

It stopped being any good after “Episode VI”. And before it, it was just a kids fairy tale in a space-themed Trenchcoat.

Who the heck designs a laptop with an ARM core? Nothing against ARM, they are my bread and butter on the job. But whatever you do, choose the right tools for the right job.

Maybe they should upgrade to support other OSes?

Grow up?

And it will leave you debugging strange code for two weeks afterward.

My daughter had to write a university paper once. They required two cameras to be running. One atop the screen like you use for meetings, and one showing the whole desk and the tested person.

Seems to be that learning sites in general are assholes. I once attended a language course, and while their “solution” was web based, it was focused on IE. I had serious issues attending the course under Firefox.

I logged a lot of errors on their site, but their tech support could only manage accounts, the web site had been built by an external company ages ago, and they had no fingers into that.

Is that a hardware or software issue? I.e. is it caused by the windows driver for these laptops’ graphic units?

Does HEVC work with the Linux drivers on these machines?

So I either have a bullshit job “I design chips for isosychronous low-latency networks” or a real job “I herd electrons”…
