Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

Open your computer and reseat any cables and components that you can.

Maybe even do a memory test with something like MemTest86(?).

Random electric noise and disconnects could cause random corruption issues like this.

I was going to say to build a 3rd story for the hot air to go to instead of staying at the 2nd story, but the bathroom fan sounds a bit simpler.

I paid for a keyboard, I’m going to use a keyboard!

Not even an apology. They’ll spend money smearing the FTC leader. And call it a witch hunt. And publicize all the people who will lose their jobs if the company has to pay these fines.

And they are hedging their bets that Trump becomes president and the FTC gets gutted, so there won’t be any fines anyway.

These days companies see fines as just a little fee for doing business.

We’ve seen fines for other companies.

Worst case, they have to.pay, what. 10% of their earnings back as fines? That’s still definitely worth it to them.

The FTC is not taking specific action against any automaker at this point. Instead, the blog post is meant to be a warning to the industry.

So, the only thing that will change will either be a tiny EULA on the underside of the car, or car companies will hire better security teams to keep the data collection hidden.

If your faster computer now requires you, yourself, to move faster, then relative to you, the new computer might run at the old speed, or slower. Hmm.

Raspberry Pi Connect needs your Raspberry Pi to be running a 64-bit distribution of Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm that uses the Wayland window server. This in turn means that, for now, you’ll need a Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4, or Raspberry Pi 400.

At the moment, the Raspberry Pi Connect service has just a single relay (TURN) server, located in the UK. This means that if rpi-connect chooses to relay traffic, the latency can be quite high.

Our intention is that Raspberry Pi Connect will remain free (as in beer) for individual users with non-relayed connections, with no limit on the number of devices.

The poor astronauts on the International Space Station miss out on so much.

Nice. I would not have thought to clean the connectors.

You should charge a restocking fee.

I always slow way down on these just to slightly skew the numbers. Though that could go good or bad for me, without a way to know.

If these had been around when I was a kid, I’d probably run over it a bunch of times with my bike. Especially going “backwards.”

Yup, that was a whole kerfuffle. That is what got me to stop installing Ubuntu.

But how is a new person supposed to know that? Ubuntu is still at the top of many charts. And has years of previous positive reviews.

It’s almost like you didn’t read the article, because this specific point is addressed.

You only got part of the quote, and not the part that really is what the article is about.

I understand that Canonical has every right to make the decision about their product. You want to promote Snap over Deb, fine. But don’t do it in a deceiving manner.

And there is a pretty reasonable middle ground:

If you would like to keep your ‘Snap store’ deb-free, fine! At least have the decency to provide Gdebi by default for local deb file installation.

Huh, I had not thought about using two different bulbs like that. Fancy! (Not sarcasm)

As long as you remember before you turn off the computer!
