There's a retail tool that lets you get a lot more memory below 1MB. 639K (625K free) conventional, 262K upper (177K free).

If you remember seeing how, you'll get a free virtual cookie.

I'm worried about that but also feel like GPL 4 needs an anti-AI clause. I don't want code I'm written fed into a machine that writes code that doesn't respect user freedom.

I did that. Unfortunately you'd have your stereo blasting, right? And then the second you upload it somewhere you'll get a copyright infringement notice and they mute the audio. Thanks Facebook.

Oh yes the field of vision is very bad! I liked to take snapshots out when with my wife, and I'd turn my head and she wouldn't even be in the field of view.

You have to turn your head 180 degrees like an owl and have them dead centre in front of the camera side to get them on film.

I have the original model and they're fun, if not super expensive. Unfortunately the audio quality is some of the worst you can have; if there's ANY external noise you can't hear any of your music playing at all.

This one says the audio is improved but I'd have to hear it before splurging again.

I had read that bone-conducting audio is better so I'm a bit disappointed to see that this one doesn't have that.

I’ll take some blame for $226m.

What you’ve said is nonsensical. Being the victim of some harsh words forgotten the next day while never having to work another day in your life is not any kind of responsibility.

Oh yes thanks love that one too! Also it’s prequel

So just don’t be one of the vanishingly small paid users who this affects. Easy.

I wonder what vanishingly small is. 0.001% of a million is still thousands.

The company is unethical garbage that relies on customer management being too lazy to sue them for not completing contracts.

They lie and treat their employees like garbage.

And their employee technical skill is typically less than a warm body from the street. Less than a dead body from the street.

I still feel sad for the people who lost their jobs. They know who they’re working for though.

I get a lot of emails (from various companies) that have "action required" and no action required at all. Usually "you've logged in from a new device, you don't need to do anything unless you've been hacked."

I'm amazed you think there's any goodwill for Google at all. Their search engine sucks shit these days.

ITT: Lots of people feigning ignorance about how companies work, or have literally never worked for a large company before.

And hilariously thinking Microsoft would spin up a critical incident team for a free open-source product. I'm rolling on the floor laughing.

It's weird because I've seen job posts for them running for 6 months now and still not be filled.

Are they running job ads but not hiring?

Companies like this drop-ship new laptops to new employees.

The laptops everyone has are COVID-era and about to expire for warranty, and would just be binned anyway. So there is no point taking them back.

Thoughts and prayers.

A lot of companies have teams dedicated to hardware that don’t give a shit about it. And their managers don’t give a shit.

Then the people under them who do give a shit, because they depend on those servers, aren’t allowed to register with HP etc for updates, or to apply firmware updates, because “separation of duties”.

Basically, IT is cancer from the head down.

Yeah I mean for starters the author appear to have been rich as hell from the very beginning. I’m sure that helps soothe the sting of being an “outsider”.

But I decided not to take the article personally because they’re not claiming something universal about outsiders.

Apparently every accident that has happened will never happen again and is a once off. So they don’t count.

So true. Seen situations so much like this.

Thanks! I felt the same way. Glad I’m not the only one.

I’ve had people attack me like that before and it’s not great. It’s always someone in a position of power, too.

I like 1Password so much I don't mind paying for a subscription. But I have to draw the line at no local vaults because there's no other way to keep work data separate without violating company policies.

I did myself a disservice by bothering to read the article, and it's still a joke.

The problem is noticing that you are changing a behaviour.

SQL Performance Explained, hands-down https://sql-performance-explained.com/

Covers all the main DBMS, explained very simply from the bottom up, maintained constantly and has been read and recommended by people for years and years.

The people whose literal jobs it is to provide a service and protect the data, lost it. This seems to have been glossed over in the comments - I guess, none of you want the responsibility of doing your job properly, and don't deserve to keep it.

Blaming the victims is not on. Assuming the victims should have done a better job than paid and trained professionals is not on. Assuming the victims are all CS majors is not on.

"Users should know better!" you scream, into a world where currently almost everything stored locally is already safely shuffled to the cloud to be retained even if your desktop dies (Windows 10 OneDrive, and Apple iCloud, and other solutions like Dropbox, Box). Except, obviously, at this university.

The bigger the better, so get a 10/12/14" dobsonian. They're cheap, dumb, easy to set up, you'll be able to see a lot, and it will last forever.

Refractor telescopes are extremely expensive to get a good one, otherwise the image quality is awful, and either way they are so limited in aperture and weight that you'll be able to see very little through them.

Don't buy anything off Facebook saying they've used some computer technology to make an amazing telescope. Yes computer technology helps some scientific applications but consumer wise it's all BS.

Reflector telescopes can be okay in theory and can be a good middle ground between the price/aperture of dobsonians and pricier options (my first scope was a reflector so I have a special place in my heart for the image they provide!) But you may as well save your money and get the dobsonian instead, because if you wanted to use a reflector for computer tracking and astrophotography you'll spend so much money on the mount and cameras and add ons that you may as well have bought the pricier option in the first place.

Don't get a fork mounted Celestron CPC. It's the same issue; more expensive, not as good as a dobsonian, you get computer tracking but can't use it for astrophotography.

That just leaves schmidt–cassegrain telescopes. If you want to do imaging you may as well jump here and try to buy a package that has it all including a really really good mount. The only downsides are that you'll be spending $10k-$20k. If you weren't interested in those things... may as well get a dobsonian.

One thing I wanted to mention that everything bar the dobsonian is going to be extremely heavy. For the reflector and Schmidt's you'll be carting a 25kg mount, 25kg of weights, then trying to hoist a 25kg scope onto the mount with one hand and slot it into a tiny rail in the dark while your other hand fumbles for a tiny screw clamp that holds it in place. There's a reason people get into the hobby and then give up.

A dobsonian you basically lift the tube and plop it anywhere onto the base and you're good to go. So unless you're fit, don't bother even getting started with anything except the dobsonian.

As dobsonians are cheap, they're easy to buy and sell, and so if you don't hang around in the hobby then you'll be able to exit quietly and not feel much of a loss. If you do become an enthusiast and jump to the top end there's no loss either, because it'll be such a nightmare to set up, you'll still be using the much larger and better dobsonian for all of your normal viewing.

They have another firmware bug that has been going on for years and years and was never fixed.

If you type quickly, it can lose the case of the characters in combination with the shift key.

Hold down the left shift and type CSMSDC. One of them will be lowercase (from memory it's the S). If it doesn't happen for you, either it's not a Sculpt, or you don't type fast enough. Once you can do it it'll happen every time.

No mention of his amazing Soldier in the Mist series.

No bug bounty?

Just try Hugo. Jekyll is okay but extremely slow with hundreds of Ruby plug-in dependencies and nonsensical breaking changes between versions.

The author is pedantic and seems to just not want to use other tools. That’s fine. But this is a dumb road for others to follow.

Remember the entire thing started because they don’t like front matter. They could literally have written a script to parse front matter, which are literally a few plain text lines.

Then they wanted asciidoc but without the dependency. Except their own code will likely have an asciidoc dependency unless they wrote their own entire asciidoc parser. In which case they could also have done this and plugged it into the same script.

“You don’t want to get stuck into the thinking of others,” they scream into the wires, followed by hobbling themselves into the most minimal viable product straight jacket imaginable.

Fool programmers and their time are soon parted.
