What an embarrassment. Does this mean their backups didn't work? or did they do backups at all?

They earned confidence? What did they do to earn the right to say "I don't like this color"?

Personally, I find the whole thing condescending and dismissive, taking swipes at "Gen-X-ers and Millennials"

I'd like to offload a required security software to a stand-alone device that exposes the software endpoints directly to the host via PCIe. The goal would be to ensure that if an attacker gets into the host, they are unable to modify the security software or limit its functionality.

Ideally the card would have a TPM module and supports some sort of signed boot/firmware validation.

I know I'm being a bit coy, but hopefully that helps you understand the requirements a bit better?

The console bans should be investigated cause that’s a strong signal that the software is just wrong.

This sadly is a bad idea, as it’ll get your entire store account banned (Steam, battle.net, etc). Chargebacks work great until the whole account matters.

Don’t you have to trust the CA to actually log all the certs they issue? What’s to stop a rogue CA from logging all but a few key certs?

Such a weird decision given the results they indicate. Was there any rational thought behind the layoffs beyond giving the metaverse more dollars?

Amazing accomplishment! If I didn’t know better, this could have been in the next bobiverse book!

Who do you consider the head diver then? I figured the guy that lead the mapping of the caves and the rescues the head diver personally, but I'm open to understand other people's opinions.

The head diver that he called a pedo wanted the sub? Why the conflict then?

My experience differs. The right leaning members of my family strongly support Russia and the left leaning strongly support Ukraine. It’s caused a lot of strife in my family. And I don’t think the right folks feel like they’re on the fringe. They do watch a lot of Fox, but they’re not Q folks, afaik at least.

> I'm surprised that this article doesn't even mention the ongoing, continual attacks on the civilian Ukrainian electrical grid, in a concerted effort to take it out with thousands of cruise missiles and loitering drones.

I would guess that it was an intentional decision to avoid. Grady goes to great lengths to prevent anything political in his videos, and the Ukrainian war happens to be politically charged in America currently.

Cisco’s meraki has that built into their devices. I run meraki in my home and have it enabled and it’s pretty powerful. If you see a wifi network, it most certainly can track you and if it’s not a residential network, I assume it is.

I’ve never had a corporate card in my entire career, including Twitter. I’ve been able to book via a company provided travel agency, but I’ve never had the card in my hands.

I think he's made a major mis-step with twitter though.

SpaceX/Tesla employees work as hard as they do because they believe in the mission of the company. They're willing to just buckle down and do amazing things beyond most people.

Twitter had a lot of normal employees, however, it also already had the true believers in the mission. Those people don't seem to have bought Musk's vision and they're leaving the company. He wanted to get just down to those folks, but I think by and large, they're gone. I don't know that he can recover from that mis-step. He needed to come in, explain his vision and got the true believers onboard before he cleaned house IMHO.

Really, I have multiple end profiles that are possible.

1. My phone 2. My wife's phone 3. My Tablet 4. My TV

They each have different screen geometries and even my tablet has two profiles really, local streaming at home or playing downloaded media on trips.

So I could transcode everything to 5 different formats and store it, or just transcode on demand and not worry about it.

I bought a GPU to get smooth 4k sources streaming to my devices.

I personally decided the structure of a in person job was beneficial and went back to a in the office job twice a week rather then the full remote opportunity I was at. I need that framework to be mentally and physically fit.

From the Twitter email

> Today is your last working day at the company, however, you will remain employed by Twitter and will receive compensation and benefits through your separation date of February 2, 2023.

> During this time, you will be on a Non-Working Notice period and your access to Twitter systems will be deactivated.

> While you are not expected to work during the None-Working Notice period, you are still required to comply with all company policies, including the Employee Playbook and Code of Conduct.

It seems like a refusal to go off of the “None-Working Notice” would be treated the same as any other refusal to follow assignments and it would make legal sense that it would turn to a termination rather then layoff.

Not moral, but legal IMHO

I run little snitch and block all outgoing connections from my mail client except the imap/smtp ones. It shocked me that my company’s HR emails included tracking to see if I opened them!

Just playing dumb might not be enough of a reason if you actually open it.

I’m a very low skilled picker, but I did try racking and bumping my Encode Plus before installing it and didn’t get it open.

That said, I do intend to re-core and re-key it someday.

Wait. So of the ~3500 employees left at the company, 2000 are content moderators?!

My understanding is the outstanding grants are guaranteed at the buyout price and are converted directly to cash.

New grants/options/whatever are at the whims of the company.

I would love this if it added if the drive is a Shingled Magnetic Recording or Perpendicular Magnetic Recording. That's a key difference between drives.

I want to use Jellyfin, however, I require mobile app downloads/syncs. I load up my iPad with content for trips and I'm not willing to give that up.

She was 100% at the Meta offices on SLU, so she's a Meta employee posting a video about Meta life. Even if it's comedy, it's unlikely the company would agree IMHO.

you could also just have find run the grep for you as well

    `find . -type f -name \*.py -exec grep homestring {} \;`

It's not exactly equivalent, however, I often will just use find directly for simple actions.

I'm currently running Tailscale at home, but will switch to Headscale once they get iOS support sorted out.

It's magical. It's well on the way towards being a critical piece of infrastructure in my mind.

It sorta seems like they won the 'right place at the right time' lotto in getting the links on about us. A competitor might have a huge battle to win that market share.
