I'm a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.

  • Just use one of these tried and tested standard disclaimers from 2012, I'm sure they still have exactly the same legal weight as they did back then, right? That Rome Statute is something to not fuck around with, that's for sure.

    (/s , just in case)


    Hi all. Don't forget today starts the new Instagram rule where they can use your photo Don't forget Deadline tomorrow !!! Everything you've ever posted becomes public from tomorrow. Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry. Channel 9 News talked about the change in Instagram's privacy policy. I do not give Instagram or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Instagram it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). NOTE: Instagram is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tacitly allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Copy and paste. Wondered why Instagram was so boring!

    Better to be safe than sorry. An attorney advised us to post this. Good enough for me. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute).

If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be tacitly understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates. I HEREBY STATE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION."

  • Globally they are nothing special in price, performance, reliability, or availability.

    Rivian is only seen as a contender because of the artificially crippled US sandbox that it plays in.

  • AI written update changelog: "✨ Bug fixes and performance improvements! ✨ Best version EVER! 😊 😎 "

  • If you're out on a farm, you fit the intended use case for starlink.

    The issue is that all them city folk see starlink as a way of escaping the locked in municipal ISPs. So they clog up satellite bandwidth when they have fibre/5G/HFC/wireless/xDSL options literally at their front door.

  • Neil's been a bit angry lately, it could have been them.

  • It's worth nothing if it hasn't been graded and placed in a sealed plastic box by a grading company that asserts that grading is awesome and things are worth nothing if they aren't graded.

    (sad \s)

  • Later versions of windows recognise that the device is removable and don't cache writes. From the users point of view the copy dialog box only closes when writes are complete.

  • I've been working on updating all my old software projects lately, and as part of that process I feed the source code into a LLM for review.

    The amount of simple security errors, logic flaws, and code smells that it reveals is quite embarrassing.

    This was all "good functional code" that's been used internally for years. Clearly it worked well enough, but a simple pass through a LLM reviewer made it a lot more robust and secure.

  • Telstra says it is looking into the issue and will share an update once it is fixed.

    Ten bucks says it's due to a software update to core telecommunications infrastructure.

  • That's why they used to restrict signups in certain geographical areas. But then people complained that they couldn't sign up. So here we are.

    1. Googles "PLENOPTY"

    2. Only finds references to their store on Amazon.

    3. Reverse image search shows what looks like the manufacturer in China.

    4. Their website is in Chinese.

    5. You can only order in quantities of 500 and up.

    6. Your country implemented 50 percent tariffs that the company refuses to eat which is baffling as your President said they would.

    7. It will cost you 750 for your microwave poached egg maker, but at least you will have 499 spare ones. Delivery is in 12 weeks.

    8. You return to Amazon and buy it for 3.99.

    9. You get free overnight shipping because you are an Amazon Prime member.

    10. Sweeeeet.

  • Just run 'sfc /scannow', it fixes everything.

    If you don't believe me, just ask your friendly local volunteer Microsoft customer service agent, they'll tell you.

  • Well, from a technical standpoint they now routinely do weekly what was never ever done before by anyone. Both in launch cadence of their booster fleet and the recovery of them, and they've pretty much fully transitioned to only making their Stage 2's and just using their existing fleet of boosters. So from a rocket company perspective, SpaceX is a legitimate company, and they've made legitimate advances in the field of rocketry, and now they outpace the rest of the global market combined in tons to orbit.

    Then you fold in Starlink, which needs those weekly launches to maintain the constellation.... and then you fold in Starship, which is the next generation launch platform, and it's like "Ok... that's still rocket-y, that's cool".

    And then along comes xAI tacked onto the side like a 100 billion dollar dead weight and that is where things get a bit wobbly.

  • The reason ”InFlUeNcErS” are being targeted

    Is because they are essentially unregulated. They are only 'disruptive' in the sense that they can get away with shit that the industry cannot by rule of law. Don't try and frame this as Yet Another Way The Shadowy Cabal Keeps The Common Man Down.

  • You can verb pretty much any noun you like and get away with it, when used in such a manner the verbnoun takes on the typical action of the noun.

    "Gunned down" is an example.

  • Every large AI startup is racing to be the last one standing. They are all gobbling up compute resources to ensure that they have the best competitive advantage when others go broke. That includes soaking up all the future supply they can to restrict their competitors ability to do the same. In < 5 years time there is only going to be one commercial AI company left, and all the rest will just be skeletons picked clean of all their resources.

    Be prepared to live with whatever hardware you have now for about 10 years. If you're lucky things will be back on an even keel by then.

  • "Sorry boss, quota resets this evening at 8. See you tomorrow!"

    "But it's 9am!"

    *shrugs* "Quota. Got none. Seeya."

  • Roflcopter?

    Hey hey hey hey hey whoa whoa let's just keep the big guns in reserve for now, ok?

  • The tubes keep it warm, obviously.

  • I work on heavy mining equipment and I tell the techs who are looking for a laptop to just buy something cheap because when you drop it off the top of a machine it's still just as broken.
