Hamster dance. Time to get all 1996 at you.

If an app gives me more than a couple of unwanted notifications that I can’t easily disable, it’s uninstalled. Fuck that shit.

So I should include the 4 Saturdays I worked as a 6’2 tall Kid Vid (the short lived burger king mascot) in 1993 in Crawley Town centre (and scared a lot of kids because I was WAY TOO TALL - the costume was designed for a 5’4 girl), because it’s relevant experience to my 30 year career in it consultancy. Gotcha

I took what came out of the box, very much factory default here. My offspring are figuring it out at the minute, Imma let them cook.

But the CEO’s third luxury yacht? What about that?

Probably some sort of trolling effort sadly. Like an as yet unaired bit for a tv show.

I’ll bet the Intel management engine is just as “vulnerable”. The only context this is likely a concern is large scale corpo deployments, without verified supply chains to the source. Love how the security researcher handwaves that there’s “plenty of existing exploits” that can be used to install the exploit into the SMM, without giving any suggestions of how.

Fair enough. But the fact I can’t even use it to connect to my homelab proxmox cluster kinda has to be a dealbreaker for me. Even a trial period to allow me to try and experience everything would be sufficient in my opinion. On the fuzzy thing, I’m using gnome desktop, with latest gnome shell in debian sid, on an Nvidia 20280 using the proprietary driver (latest in debian experimental). It’s connected to three 2k/1440p monitors running at 144/60/60hz. If that helps at all. The tooltips are most notably fuzzy. It looks like it’s being antialiased multiple times or something?

Locking basic homelab functions behind a $50/year license means it is purged. Sad, because it had potential, though it suffers from a weird text scaling issue that means everything is just very slightly blurry.

I’d talk to the Linux guy about how fun it used to be to install debian 1.1 back in 1995. And how I’ve still got the same /home from that install

I think my brain just fell out.

No

Sounds like he’s well qualified to be the first king of the USA. He’s got everything. A ridiculous family tree, he’s loony, he’s corrupt, he’s bankrupt. All hail king Trump the first!

King Donald the first of America

I used to hear tv tubes, power supplies and all sorts of high frequency noise. These days I mostly just hear tinnitus. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn’t say. I’m guessing that he didn’t want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that’s my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly… https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV

For some reason now I think it has to canon that going to warp involves a quick chorus of big red car.

Why does this reek of the BBC and Jimmy Savile?

The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they’re fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?
