I'm already thinking about the amount of e-waste these are likely to generate.

I think you assume those existing TVs don't already engage in a large amount of the activity you describe, which is what allows them to sell those TVs at less of a profit margin, or perhaps even a loss.

Existing DIB contractors are struggling to meet all the requirements imposed upon them, while trying to win contracts in the race to the bottom contract awarding style that the DoD utilizes.

If you want to see this showcased? Look at the chaos surrounding the DoD's rollout process for CMMC.

Fun read about the usage of CORP as the default domain for Windows Active Directory domains and the chaos that might have come had Microsoft not ponied up for the domain: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/02/dangerous-domain-corp-co...

Am I mistaken, or has the open source community beaten the commercial password managers to implementing WebAuthn?

The most successful content creators know how to brand themselves and make a significant amount off such. I think MrBeast would be the shining example.

I think MrBeast could be compared to a Jay-Z of this content-creator era. What I think is noble about MrBeast, and a handful of other creators, is their trying to give back.

I think this data is subject to change quickly. I think content creation has enjoyed it's "Dot-com Bubble" era. I think it's already starting to change, but will likely very rapidly change if a recession sets in soon, as many prominent economists are expecting.

Content creation payments are fueled by advertising dollars and it's easy to see that the advertising market has started to contract, as evidenced by many of the modern news outlets folding, driven in much part by loss of advertising revenues.

Not quite the same, but interesting:

I stand corrected. That apparently was indeed the original context of his statement. The Internet has ways of morphing words.

I do recall he did express some level of concern about the launch pad being damaged if the rocket failed to launch though (it still looks like it was damaged to some degree from the launch.)

A Wikipedia entry claims it was a commanded explosion. I hadn't yet been able to corroborate that elsewhere.

I wonder how many folks have looked at the other details of Starship.

One I find most impressive?

Weight of Starship when fueled: 11 million pounds

Musk was saying it was a 50% chance the rocket blew up on the launchpad. Their sole hope was that it made it in the air, leaving the launchpad unscathed and quickly usable for future launches.

I hate when major outlets sink to using clickbait headlines that mischaracterize an account of events

I had been shaky in my opinion of them, being a China-based company, but after hearing the rave reviews I had to give them a shot. I've been nothing but happy and impressed. Wi-Fi APs are supposed to serve a few basic purposes, and serve them well. TP-Link has a winner so far in Omada.

I just need to get my controller setup now, so I can play with the dashboard. I had heard some features are missing from the controller that are on the AP web interface though. Which of them had you noticed missing?

Everyone assumes big companies are immune to weaknesses in their workflow. It's hard to know what's inside while on the outside looking in.

Looks like they updated it just now

Actually not true. Omada has the ability to be controlled from a controller, but it is not required. It has a built-in web administration panel. Beyond that TP-Link just puts out a solid product, at a solid price point, without all the constant issues you tend to get with how Ubiquiti keeps mucking with their firmware.

I'm working on getting on your level but not quite there yet.

On a semi-related note I will say it's infuriating that replacement Linux networking stack components are released with features missing. I hadn't dug into nftables enough yet to say whether that is the case, but netplan and, to a lesser degree, systemd-networkd have driven me bonkers.

Most of my gripes were related to IPv6 and DHCPv6-PD. The people supporting the replacements never seem to be in any rush to add missing features back into the replacement. Most would think you'd wait until the replacement has reached feature parity with it's predecessor(s) before pushing it out to mainline.

This is definitely the way. I used to use UniFi, but have kicked it to the curb. Omada is my AP Zen now.

He starts out speaking of the computer being for his child and the inappropriateness of default content shown for a child.

I think it's worthy of mentioning Microsoft Family Safety. It's pretty useful after you create a minor Microsoft Account for your child through it. My only gripe was the Microsoft Edge new tab page, which still shows some content inappropriate for a child, with no way to disable it through the UI. The Microsoft Support sanctioned way to disable it was by adding ntp.msn.com to the Windows hosts file.

I only really used UniFi for APs. Ubiquiti has really taken a turn for the worse in recent times though.

I too used to run a router on a 486 (?), circa 1998. It was shared out wirelessly with my neighbor, so he'd cover half of my 512 Kbps DSL bill (I was in middle school at the time). If I remember correct I ran the SmoothWall distro on it. Good memories of bygone times.

I wish more folks administered a basic Linux router of their own. I'm talking a mainline distro and iptables set to masquerade (for IPv4).

Broadcom's driver model is annoying. Definitely why Merlin shines here.

What boggled my mind about Mexico is how some states are EXCEPTIONALLY safe, while others are EXCEPTIONALLY dangerous. Most folks tend to presume all of Mexico is dangerous.

That's the problem with many hyped assets: they're only profitable in the short term if you buy in before the pump, and sell before the dump.

I still believe Ethereum is poised for a fair amount of growth in the long-term, though likely nothing near the rise it's enjoyed in it's last run. I say that only because it's an on-ramp to so many other cryptocurrencies.

With LLaMA it's all about the tuning. Using an Alpaca-tunes 7B yields pretty reasonable results, considering it's constraints.

Me asking how to accomplish a task using a Linux command does not seem unreasonable. I can understand it's current constraint on generating code, but that too will need to quickly be overcome if they wish for Bard to be a serious competitor.

What specifically would a reinstall cover then? Is it just a boot partition/stub (FAT?) that loads the root ZFS pool? It all seems like a drastically different architecture than I'm used to seeing on a system.
