That, and at home PC’s are not running 24/7, so they constantly get shut down and started again. I am always a weary when a server needs to be shut down (those with HDD at least, which becoming an endangered beast) because I’ve seen too many seemingly fine HDD not booting up.

I use an Airport Express 2-nd gen plugged into the DAC of my amp using a mini-TOSLINK optical digital transmitter. It streams losslessly (CD quality, which is good enough for me) if you activate Airplay using the Control Centre. People are basically throwing them away and I've collected quite a...

I have been told over and over again that I have to invest money I don't have to reduce all my exhausts from burning stuff to prevent the planet from heating up... I am pretty sure that in the grand scale of things my exhausts are definitely negligible. So why should SpaceX don't have to...

This Why waste energy to come up with a sabotage system on your shitty employer that doesn't win you any prizes, when you can walk away with stuff that is (or could be) actually useful. "I really can't remember where I got this nice laptop from..."

Methinks the guy from Norway and letterRip are 2 instances of an LLM going in a "burberry-loop" while they keep rehashing the same refuted argument...

My memory is vague about the details, but I think I was using the beta drivers for my card (I believe it had a VESA interface). My friend had a later model (PCI based?) that was usable under Win98 but I couldn't afford one myself at the time. And yeah, the sound that came out of those cards was...

It seems some hoops to jump through are already in place for this attack to be successful, but since the basic attack vectors involve domains and systems of Microsoft, I am wondering what MS is doing to harden their OS against these kind of attacks?

Hey! Brussels sprouts are delicious! esp. when prepared like this. But it can be a devisive subject, that's true.

Pretty sure it's even higher in Belgium, you'll have a hard time finding anything else in the regular supermarkets. In the Netherlands, though, it's the opposite, based on the 6 months I lived there during college it's mostly pasteurized you'll find over there. And regarding raw milk, I had...

According to our local public news, they were still running WinXP systems and the CEO’s password hadn’t been changed since 2022… (Source in Dutch)

If I remember correctly, this game was part of the reason why I wanted to get a Gravis Ultrasound sound card, since that one used actual samples of instruments during midi playback, making the soundtrack even better. Unfortunately, Gravis never released Win98 drivers for that card...

Totally related (/s), salt works as a tiger repellant, so I’ve been sprinkling salt all over the place. And lo and behold, no more tigers in my place! (Just kidding, there are no loose tigers in Belgium) But it does work as a maggot repellant, though! (Don’t ask how I know, wonttell)

We used the SMB version of Symantec Endpoint Protection at a previous employer. A few months before we had to renew our subscription, Broadcom moved in and when we requested a new quote with our reseller, they never received an answer... So I had no other option to move to an other solution...

One thing I have also noticed is that Netflix seems to be unable to track account sharing when watching using the Netflix app on Apple TV. Probably that's because the app doesn't get access to the parameters they are using for account tracking (SSID mostly), so they cannot be sure. Source: I...

Guess this guy wasn't paying enough attention, then, when the tech got so infatuated with a tree it had to go take a closer look: View: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/1ksry47/new_tesla_model_3_on_full_selfdriving_suddenly/ ...or it could have been an instance of grok getting...

...and just like the legacy notepad application, the classic Window Photo Viewer is still available too. You just needs some registry modifications to make it the default application again. At times it fails to display some images that have incorrect ICC (color) profiles, that can be fixed in...

The plastic (polybutyl[something]) that was used back then had a natural rubber component in it. This is the part that turns brown over time and gives the plastic the typical colorisation. Sunlight simply accelerates the process.

Facts not being available never stopped them before. I remember a US general turned secretary of state presenting fake 3D renderings of so-called WMD's to the UN as a motivation to invade Iraq...

You know what I have noticed the past few months? All those years the 2-nd amendment has been plastered over everything that involved gun violence: Kids getting shot at schools? Sorry, no solution. 2-nd amendment you know, gotta protect ourselves from the government. People getting shot at...

You also had these magazines that published the code of the programs they published that you needed to enter yourself (how’s that about open source!). Did that once on a Spectrum, only to find out after hours of typing that I had run out of memory before I could enter the last 3 characters, and...
