listic··on Abundant Intelligence
Not to defend what Altman is saying, but is OpenAI actually using or going to use that much power? This Reuters source the US power budget will be 4,187 TWh in 2025: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-power-use-reach-r...

listic··on Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured
How is the blocking minority counted?

8/27=0.296 (29.6%), and I thought it has to be 35% (65% supporters to pass)

Care to explain how does a normal watch look like nowadays and does a fitness product? I guess I am clueless in this. I wear Mi Band 4.

There's no way of ever hearing back; being responded to, right?
listic··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
So... Is Anubis actually blocking bots because they didn't bother to circumvent it?
listic··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
Kind of. The author is asking nicely not to remove the picture of Anubis. The tool is open source.

listic··on Couchers is officially out of beta
Another project.

I happen to have an account with them, and also BeWelcome (what seems to be the closest to popular alternative to the original couchsurfing.org) and TrustRoots, too. Also, the original one, of course.

listic··on Helsing at Eurorust and the Oxidation of Defense
Today I learned that there is a EuroRust converence. I have about that level of involvement with the mentioned technologies.

Whom are these kinds of tech conferences actually for in 2024, I wonder? For what kind of person and in which circumstances is it a good idea to go?

Having read a few comments, and then the essay itself, I am surprised there's no call to action or announcement.
listic··on AMD records its highest server market share in decades
> in a couple of months Intel will launch Arrow Lake S, which will have a very close single-thread performance to Zen 5

Will they? Intel Innovation event was postponed "until 2025"[1], so I assumed there is not going to be any big launch like that in 2024, anymore? Arrow Lake S was supposed to debut at Intel Innovation event in September [2]

listic··on Wi is Fi: Understanding Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7 (802.11 n/AC/ax/be)
Can you suggest how to get the best router experience if I intend to use an alternative firmware? (I am thinking of OpenWrt right now)

I have some experience running m0n0wall (it wasn't deprecated back then) as a router and a Ubiquiti Long Range AP (bought old, used) as a dedicated Wi-Fi AP at my old home.

Also thanks, all great points!

It may be an aside, but could you you clarify what you mean by a huge shift in American religious belief? For the benefit of those of us, who are on the internet, but not from or have been to the US?

listic··on 5 Years of Pop _OS
Maybe you're right. I never bought a PC from any of the name brand 'computer companies' and maybe there's no sense to start now.

Just wanted to compare their Thelio mini PC to my last PC setup in a NCASE M1* Mini-ITX case and found that their 'tech specs' page (intentionally?) lacking.

*NCASE M1 cases are discontinued, but are widely available secondhand.

listic··on 5 Years of Pop _OS
Are their desktop PCs built around standard boards? I presume their 'Thelio' is Mini-ITX form factor?

It sounds condescending of them to omit the exact model names of their hardware in their 'tech specs' section. I, for one, would like to know what exact model of motherboard I would be getting when I choose 'AMD' or 'Intel Advanced' in the 'Platform' section. Same goes for RAM, SSD, etc.

Are there non-Russian airlines who operate in Russia and not subject to the order?

Don't know how this thing works.

listic··on Cuba about to adopt the most progressive family law in the world
To date no "most progressive family law in the world" has touched the legalization of polyamory; why so?

The only thing that comes to mind is that it would become too convenient a loophole to escape taxes.
