It’s been named “Microsoft Office” since 1990. Way to piss 35 years of brand recognition up a wall.

How drunk are these guys?

The whole article goes just as hard.

There’s an old Monty Python sketch from 1967 that comes to mind when people ask a librarian for a book that doesn’t exist.

They predicted the future.

I eventually figured out that the Freesytle Libre will significantly underread if you sleep on it. I would recommend doing a finger prick test before acting upon what a CGM tells you to do.

So they can’t just write some probe code? It really can’t be that hard to determine if there’s support.

Most? Dying is a mandatory requirement.

You’d have to block whatever DoH server it’s using. They usually fall back to regular DNS. I’ve found that a Chromecast will use Google DNS, but will fall back to LAN DNS when blocked.

I personally submitted Hisense’s ACR servers to a popular DNS adblock list that’s used by a lot of products.

And just like that, anyone with a VIDAA TV hiding behind a pi-hole went dark.

We should really make sure every TV gets checked.

I always liked the dramatic…

I’ve never used em-dashes to represent them. Am I doing it wrong?

Checkout followed by 400 build errors because your entire toolchain and build pipeline has changed since you last touched it.

Programmers need to respect other people’s hardware. A 4TB HDD currently costs more than it did a decade ago.

My data is stored on a mirrored RAID, and backed up on two alternating offsite drives. For every TB of space I use, I buy 4. I do not consider this negotiable.

I don’t back up game installs, but by point remains valid. 90% of hardware advances gets pissed away by bloated shitcode. I see it every day.

Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

This vibes like that scene in Dumb and Dumber where Harry is standing next to a fire complaining that his fingers are about to fall off, and Lloyd says “you should take these extra gloves. Mine are getting sweaty”.

This game currently consumes 30% of the hard drive on my main PC.

I’m impressed by the technical feat, but am also annoyed that they knew they were wasting this much space and simply did not care. I’m betting every 100GB game is like this.

He said that Nvidia only care about money these days.

I also only recognise Trey and Matt.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.

The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.

You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.

You don’t need to try and figure out your external IP address. There’s no differentiation between internal/external addresses. They’re all global, as the internet was intended.

You can throw as many IP addresses on an interface as you want. If you want to run two web servers from one machine, you can have multiple addresses with different services on port 443.

Absolutely. I write code all day and my brain is spinning at 32,000RPM at 5PM and come bedtime it’s only halfway to idle.

I would need to exercise, binge on sugar, or drink something at cask-strength. Sometimes all 3.

It needs timepieces. Or am I the only one who likes NTP, ISO-8601, sundials and Casio F-91Ws?

Enforcing TLS filters out a lot of spam connectikns too. Every legit provider has a cert these days.
