They’ve been doing a bunch of stuff in agesa updates regarding memory stability lately, and also recently broke and fixed setting manual speed on DDR5 memory with ECC enabled (basically any setting higher or lower than 5200mhz or something was ignored).

I wonder if this was also something they just accidentally broke, or if it was an incompetent attempt at larger segmentation.

There are various sizes/shapes of stickers intended to either dim or block led lights if aesthetics are important.

FYI, the “?si=*” part of your link is what Google uses to track you, you can just remove it.

What an excellent example of Brandolini's law: “ The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.”

For those just encountering this like me, the man in question was Sequoyah, a monolingual Cherokee. His own tribe put him on trial, being overseen by his Chief.

Slightly different from what I’d normally assume had happened from just reading the above comment.

Really impressive on his part, basically saw it was possible and looked as some examples of what others had done, then got to work.

Same, I hated when everything transitioned to it and became harder to read as a result. Frutiger Aero was a sterile sort of cheerful in a way only a CEO could think was relatable. It basically marked the turning point where the UI stopped being something janky that felt human made, into a mass produced corporate template.

Looking at it felt like the visual equivalent of licking soap.

Every time I see it now, I can only think “good riddance”.

Wow, first time I’ve seen this site, what a great thing to find.

I work I Ag retail (agronomic services, chemical sales) and while we have an IT department, a decade ago I’d occasionally act as “local” tech support and double a coworker’s RAM when their combination of browser/office/database front ends stopped gracefully fitting in 4GB (and later 8GB). I would also migrate them from HDD’s to SSD’s, and set them up with backups.

But even I haven’t done that in several years now, once IT moved to providing 16GB memory and SSD’s as a baseline, there’s really nothing left in a box to upgrade. I’m quite happy enough to not have to care.

I really enjoyed it. I had no idea what a “backrooms movie” would end up being, but it was exactly what I could have hoped for having enjoyed his other work. Honestly creators from youtube putting out movies recently has probably been the most interested in going out to see something in years.

That’s wonderful for you and apple.

I use privacy.com virtual cards. I make a card for each vendor, and define a limit for it. I can kill the cards anytime.

That was a fun read, thanks.

Interesting, it seems I learned/am using a modern American mutated version of the word.

In my case, I was using it as almost a blend of the two meanings, something mostly meaning “unimpressed”, with a touch of “and a bit perplexed why such effort is going into this”. Basically a shoulder shrug and “okay…?”

I now find myself nonplussed, wondering if I should be using the word at all given it seems to have two opposite meanings.

Was initially nonplussed, but toward the end I realized the choice of pokemon for an example actually works out well for showing how prologue can solve problems. I’m now a bit curious about trying it out somewhere.

In my case, the drive suddenly only shows having 1GB of read only space available. The firmware version will be reported as “ERRORMOD” (meaning, error mode). There are no warning signs, it just happens.

All data is lost the moment you see ERRORMOD, there is no recovery of data that I am aware of. It is sometimes possible to clear the drive and recover function for the now untrustworthy drive: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/pm9a3-firm...

It’s not the only way a drive can fail, but it’s the most immediately obvious one.

Other ways of the firmware failing result in no drive showing up at all, or data corruption. Physical failures can also happen, like breakage of the solder balls under the chips (which fixable enough to get data off it).

Related, someone decompiled Samsung’s 840 EVO ssd firmware, before Samsung later started encrypting it: http://www2.futureware.at/~philipp/ssd/TheMissingManual.pdf

Came across it looking how to deal with multiple different samsung drives caught in bad states due to shitty firmware. My original salty post warning about vendor branded Samsung drives on eBay is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37165189

You might consider setting up Navidrome. It’s working well for me, running NixOS on an N150 minipc along with Tailscale.

Lots of clients are available to connect with it (it also has a functional web UI). It does not touch your music files, keeping things like star ratings in its database.

I don’t have direct experience, but when I looked into it my takeaway that NBD was unable to reliably deal with network interruptions as well as iscsi.

Whether that’s the case with the latest version, I don’t know, but it’s something you might test if you choose to try it.

I just bought a few more Intel 310 Series 40GB mSATA ssd’s on eBay for $10 each. They are ancient and comparatively slow, but reliable and extremely low power, so much so they can be perfectly powered by a USB 2.0 port in an enclosure if needed, and don’t need a heat sink. My original 80GB version ($190) that I put in my W520 thinkpad in 2011 is still going strong.

Basically I like to use them as a cheap “better” thumb drive, putting ventoy on them with no concern for space, along with a fat32 partition for bios updates.

These along with a nanoKVM box my siblings can attach to the computers I built for them makes remote troubleshooting relatively painless when rustdesk isn’t sufficient.

IMOD’s (like Mirasol, which was abandoned) are pretty neat:

I’m an agronomist and while I don’t directly deal with that level of things, what you wrote sounds roughly like what goes on for the hazelnut industry here in Oregon.

It’s for sure not fair for you personally. However it’s also not fair the rest of us have do deal with Russia’s hacking and propaganda organizations that are either directly state run or willfully tolerated. IP blocks don’t fix everything, but they do (or did at least) counter a good portion of the bots for no effort.

You live in a country that is awful to itself and everyone around it, but that’s not something we can fix.

>An estimated 1.36 short tons (1.23 t) of uranium and 46 curies of alpha contaminants traveled 80 miles (130 km) downstream[8] to Navajo County, Arizona, and onto the Navajo Nation.[2] In addition to being radioactive and acidic, the spill contained toxic metals and sulfates.[9] The spill contaminated groundwater and rendered the Puerco unusable to local residents, mostly Navajo peoples who used the river's water for drinking, irrigation, and livestock. They were not warned for days of the toxic dangers from the spill.[2]

>The governor of New Mexico, Bruce King, refused the Navajo Nation's request that the site be declared a federal disaster area, limiting aid to affected residents.[10] The nuclear contamination event received less media coverage than that of Three Mile Island, possibly because it occurred in a very rural area not served by major media. The spill also happened in Native American country, among a community who reportedly did not have their concerns addressed by medical authorities.[11]

I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed.

My understanding is that FDIC deposit insurance only protects against bank failure, not fraudulent activity. Getting your account drained by an attacker may or may not be covered by a patchwork of other laws at various levels, and you could very well end up shit out of luck.

Do the design and materials take into account how well it can be sterilized?

My earliest desire for real AI was so it could control my dumb fucking harvester in C&C95.

Same, and agreed. It’s also annoying for everyone else who has to listen to the same few unit movement confirmation sounds hundreds of times in an hour.
