I find the PeaZip gui to be awful to use. I much prefer the 7-zip gui.

Windows 11 has shipped with bsdtar/libarchive for a few years. The gui shell support for archive files was recently changed to use libarchive which has increased the supported archive files which can be opened in the shell.

Microsoft Office is bloated, slow and a usability nightmare. I couldn’t imagine anything being worse in those regards but somehow LibreOffice has consistently shown me the limits of my imagination.

The past attempts to enact these laws have been brought to light and defeated. The current attempt has been brought to light which is evidenced by this article. Doesn’t this undermine the idea that our countries are too large for the public to police this behavior?

TRSDOS for the TRS-80 line of computers was like CP/M heavily influenced by TOPS-10. It allowed 8 characters names with a 3 letter extension but used “/“ instead of “.” as the separator.

GSMA added end to end encryption using MLS to the RCS universal profile in March. For one to one messages the latest betas of Google Messages contain a flag to enable MLS support. It is expected Google will add the support for group messages and enable MLS by default sometime soon. Apple has committed to supporting MLS in a future update. So eventually there will be end to end encryption between the two ecosystems.

In the US and none of the food delivery services deliver from some place as far away as 50km. I don’t know why you think that would be necessary in the US. That being said I have never received a food delivery that was cold or that wasn’t delivered in a timely manner.

My daughter will be starting in the fall at a private STEM focused university. They pride themselves on being a difficult school which throws you right into the deep end. They have no fancy gyms, the dorms are basic cinder block buildings without any fancy conveniences including no AC. The dining hall is very basic with limited food stations. It is very much inline with the amenities or lack of at my college when I was a freshmen in 1987. It has 1 D1 sport with the rest being D3. It is located in a mostly rural area.

The other finalist school she didn’t choose is also private but has every amenity under the sun. The newer dorms which she would have been in because of her major have state of the art gyms inside them and parking garages under them which she would have been assigned a spot in. Multiple dining facilities whith a wide range of high quality food. The school has a full array of D1 sports programs and new atheletic facilities built within the last 5-15 years. It is located in a large metropolitan area. It doesn’t have near the same quality of academics as her choice.

The estimated cost of attendance for 25-26 is with $500 of each other. Both being around $89k before any aid. She doesn’t qualify for federal financial aid. Luckily both offered very substantial merit aid. She did also consider one of our state schools. Although not as nice as the private she didn’t choose it is much closer to that than the school she did choose. They, along with all our state schools, are known for giving almost no aid beyond federal financial aid. The cost to attend would have been more than the two private schools after their merit aid awards.

I guess my point is they get you whether they give you amenities or not and whether they are private or public.

"And the obvious question that another poster has raised is why are all the COVID era loans being forgiven then?"

And the obvious answer is that the COVID era loans being discussed were designed from the beginning to be forgiven if certain conditions were met. Those that accepted the loans did so with that understanding. Student loans are also issued under specific terms which those that accept the loans agree to. In both cases the government is living up to the terms of the loans when issued and expecting the borrowers to do the same.

" Apple has never, ever been serious about the enterprise, hasn't sold any servers during its whole lifetime,"

Apple has most definitely sold servers during its lifetime. The Xserve line for example.

What reforms or fraud/abuse cutting? I haven't seen any signs of either coming from DOGE. I have seen plenty of signs of DOGE creating and participating in fraud/abuse.

- C. A primary intended purpose is to advertise and promote the business. It's not achieving that in a good manner now. Good business would be to dump the toxic asset.

From the article I gathered that the primary intended purpose is to be a free for him personal cybertruck for the business owners husband.

You are talking about two cometelt different technologies. You are talking about 10BASE2 Ethernet which runs over RG-58/U coax cabling and as you mention requires termination at each end. It ran at a speed of 10Mbs. It could be unreliable for a variety of reasons such as connections coming lose, someone deciding to move their computer disconnecting a cable and breaking the continuos connection between stations that is required or a large number of Ethernet collisions because if either misbehaving nics or too many stations on a segment.

Currently there is MOCA hardware which supports speeds up to 2.5Gbs. The standard for 10Gbs has been released but no hardware for it is currently available. At least not to consumers. MOCA runs over the coax that is often already installed in homes to support cable, satellite or over the air antenna TV. It uses different frequencies and thus can coexist with these on the same cable. MOCA is not Ethernet. It is a half duplex shared medium protocol using time division multiplexing. It was originally developed to distribute IP TV without the need to run additional wiring in a house. Today it is mostly used to bring broadband internet connections into a home or to bridge Ethernet connections through a home. Different frequencies are set aside for each purpose and so both can be done at the same time. It is very reliable. I use it to extend my network to several out buildings on my property which had coax run to them many many years ago.

Is this the beginning of a series that is going to cover all the types of "ethernet cables" such as RG-8/U, RG-58/U, MMF, SMF, and twinax cable? If so, I hope the rest are better than this one on twisted pair cables.

Disappointing that there was not a recommendation to reduce the number of flights out of DCA. Congress has interfered multiple times over the years to increase the number of flights despite warnings from both the airport authority and FAA that the number of flights posed a serious safety risk.

The author confuses ANSI escape codes and terminal escape codes in general. Because of this they declare that ANSI escape codes aren't standardized which is a bit silly. They were standardized in the ANSI X3.64 standard which is why they are called ANSI escape codes. ANSI X3.64 isn't even referenced in the article. ANSI X3.64 was withdrawn in favor of ISO 6429 which also isn't referenced in the article. ISO 6429 is based upon ECMA-48 which is referenced in the article. The article then references documentation for several other terminal escape code sets which are not part of the ANSI escape code set but the author positions as part of the non-standardized world of ANSI escape codes rather than being part of the ecosystem of terminal escape codes in general.

Virginia Tech provides helmet safety ratings for a wide range of sports. There is a drop down on the site where you can select a sport.

A couple of years ago they added equestrian helmets. My time on a horse can be counted in minutes but I have found myself the owner/manager of a horse farm and my daughter likes to jump horses over sillily high fences which means the ratings are relevant to me. I can't speak for the other sports but for equestrian helmets cost and safety are not directly related according to the VT, as an aside when did it become referred to as VT instead of VPI, ratings. This caused a great shitstorm in the sport when the initial ratings came out and some of the makers of helmets costing several hundred dollars found themselves at the bottom of the list.

I own a horse farm and have several barn cats. They aren't there to keep the bird population down.

We started having budget surpluses during the Clinton administration and paying down the national debt. Republicans regained control of congress and swiftly put an end to it because obviously if have enough money to pay down the debt taxes are too high.

Never knew the TI-99/4A was useful for anything but playing Parsec. That’s all I ever did on my BFF Mark’s TI-99/4A. Then I would go home, use my C64 and be grateful my parents didn’t get me a TI-99/4A.

They have not updated the site with the correct total and have removed the documentation of the correct value and replaced it with a link to the incorrect value. In those circumstances it takes an extreme stretching on the imagination to consider it an honest mistake.

“The fact that they are uncovering amazing amounts of waste can't be ignored. Whatever their motive or reasoning.”

It can be ignored because it isn’t a fact. They have claimed to have uncovered amazing amounts of waste but I have yet to see any evidence that they have. They have uncovered spending that they disagree with on a policy basis but that isn’t waste that is a difference of opinion on spending priorities. And even that hasn’t been amazing amounts.

Although outside the norm nothing about this is beyond the rights of the executive. The DoJ has always had prosecutorial discretion and the granting of security clearances has always been a discretionary decision of the executive.

When questions about their access has arisen earlier the administration has said they were granted security clearances. Releasing classified information is in that case is potentially illegal and at a minimum was normally result in your security clearance being revoked. But these guys didn’t go through the normal processes for obtaining a security clearance, so there is no reason to believe the normal rules and laws will be followed now.

> "The elevator breaks down sometimes, and nobody can retire," Musk said, adding: "Doesn't that sound crazy?"

It does sound crazy because I have been to this facility several times and never taken an elevator to reach it. Just more Musk bullshit.

We all prefer to use TVs for non-shorts YouTube because of the larger screen size. Since they are already using their TVs to watch regular YouTube there is no reason to switch to another device to watch shorts.

Myself, my 18 year old and my girlfriend all watch YouTube on our TVs. I don’t watch shorts in general but the other 2 watch shorts. All of us have an iPhone and either a MacBook or iPad so it isn’t a case of no other device.
