> The faucet isn’t exactly isolated as a chaotic component. As it is, it seems to sputter and flow in a highly chaotic way already, never mind what is under it.

If true, what is the significance of your observation? IOW, so what? Are you suggesting the water wheel motion is only chaotic because the water flow is? And further, do you mean to say the water wheel's motion is not actually chaotic because the water flow is chaotic? Your comment seems perceptive, but I am failing to grasp your point. Thanks.
It's not so much keeping track of time, but that that time matches the real world outside the machine. The whole Tetris Complete formalization is about how a given machine (which as a previous comment points out, doesn't need to be turing complete) relates to the non-theoretical non-computational world. Turing completeness requires or even suggests any of those things, it's an orthogonal concept.

Is it really a trick when it says right in the subscription term selection that it's an annual subscription?

I hate Adobe's insane subscription prices and the fact that they don't give any reminders that your subscription is going to renew is evil, but nothing seems wrong about the 1 year subscription.

If anything, it's a courtesy[1] that they're letting you cancel in the middle of the subscription term at all. Imagine if you paid a lump sum for an annual subscription. Do you really expect to get any portion of your money back if you cancel? The annual-paid-monthly option is still an annual term, you just opted to spread the payments out. It's similar to if you bought something from a store using the store credit card to get 0% interest on the purchase for 12 months.

[1] A courtesy while they're fucking you over, but a courtesy nonetheless.

And of course Teams is on a whole different dimension of pain.
How to make sure you're not installing spyware to your computer via USB drivers?
So I got this Huion graphics drawing tablet, and due to the recent controversy regarding Wacom and them spying on the user, I started thinking, how would one go about making sure that a USB-device they plug into their computer isn't spying on them?
Are there any analysis tools for drivers?

How to design an anti-monopoly interoperability system
I came on here to say "Teams", and here it is, right at the top.

Try doing a video call with 4 computers. Rather than the oh-so-obvious 1/4 of a screen each, one person gets half, two people get quarters, and you're in a tiny square in the bottom corner.

Even more comical is when one of the participants in using a laptop with two people in front of the camera. Teams will often centre the image, clip the sides, chop off both people, and show the other participants just the empty space between them.

How on earth did this pass QA, or any kind of design review?
People drive formula 1 cars and fly fighter jets, this article is ridiculous.

Most online services just terminate your service after a couple warnings and don't bother with collections.

In any case just set it as your policy that you don't talk to collectors, you only engage with businesses directly.

Send Adobe a written notice of termination of the agreement, stop payments, and I believe that's all you need to do, but IANAL.

The Apple ][ wasn't a kid's computer, it was a computer that kids could understand because the technology was relatively primitive.

Same with the C-64. I had a C-64 (one of my stepdads had a ][ but it wasn't "mine") and I had a book that told me what every memory location was used for in a C-64. It wasn't a kid's computer, it was a computer that a kid could still comprehend fully.

I don't know what to tell you. That world is gone. You can give your kids toys but that's not what that was.
I hold the exact opposite opinion. I hate in-person meetings, or voice call meetings or video call meetings because there's no written record of anything unless you're also transcribing, in which case you're not concentrating or thinking.

Even more stupid: Canadian media and Twitter users saying they are “fringe” because by a poll (totally no incentive to lie on those), 85% of truckers are vaccinated.

To which I say:

A. I bet more than 15% are unvaccinated because why answer honestly with Canada’s level of restrictions and penalties?

B. If it is actually 15%, that’s not fringe, and also that’s low enough that dropping the mandate should be reasonable (see all the countries who dropped restrictions at 75%-80% vaccination).

Q: I already own a domain that's registered with a provider other than GoDaddy. Can I set up a personalized email address in Outlook.com?

A: At the moment, we only support connecting domains managed by GoDaddy with Outlook.com.

Maybe that only applies to "Microsoft 365 Family or Microsoft 365 Personal" and not their business offering? They have a basic business offering for $5/mo, but it doesn't include the Office apps (just the online versions).

EDIT: It looks like non-GoDaddy is for business/enterprise plans: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/setup/a...
The point stands. No private company should be neutral.
It's demonstrably not true that we have no control over societal prejudices, nor is it true that attributing success to anything other than competence is a myth. Moreover, comparing the effects of bias to the flapping of a buttery's wings is laughably dishonest.

I am Jack's compete lack of surprise.
I use Teams on Mac, and frankly while I started off just disliking it because of the Electron lagginess, over time that's been overshadowed by a bunch of other stuff:

- It's basically a Skype reskin, so it has a lot of visual elements and quirks that carry over from that — most of them haven't aged well. The reacts alone are taken straight from Skype, and they never seem to sync up if people react to a comment in quick succession. It seems like a small complaint, but it's really surprising to see in something built by a trillion-dollar company.

- Speaking of UI issues, why does Teams insist on using a custom notification bubble instead of using the native ones that all other electron apps seem to be able to do? They don't play well with full-screen apps, and they're generally pretty clunky.

- Video calls also fall apart if you have more than 4 people in them (even if most people aren't sharing video). This has led to screenshare drop outs for seemingly no reason.

- I don't understand why Microsoft thinks Teams needs to do _everything_ productivity related; it's a mediocre video chat client, a _really_ mediocre text chat client, and possibly the worst calendar I've ever had to work with, which is saying something, because most other calendars I've had to use are pretty awful. The scheduling assistant alone is one of the most counter-intuitive pieces of UI I've ever used, and managing event ownership is a nightmare. IT had to be called in to delete a zombie event that was supplanted by a new event, but the owner of the original event had left the company.

Not to put too fine a point on it: I've had to use a lot of chat clients over the years, from IRC, to Slack, to Jabber, plus some less professional-oriented software like Discord and Steam chat (which is itself pretty bad), and I can say honestly that my loathing for Teams burns with the passion of a thousand suns. That anyone would deliberately choose to pay for it baffles me.
> it uses Electron

Teams v2 won't use Electron[1]; but for now you can get a small performance boost by just opening Teams using a modern web browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox) at https://teams.microsoft.com/ -- you can even set up a PWA-type app shortcut.

You can uninstall the client after that. I think there's maybe one feature (popout chat windows) that the client has which you can't get in the browser.

This probably already exists but is bundled in as some sort of managed service offering.

The hardest part of offering something like this, I would think, would be that if you were to be the one offering the service, you would likely need to be very selective about who you brought on, because trying to appeal on behalf of too many scammers (the vast majority of complaints -- though not OP) would get you ignored and ruin the whole thing. That, of course, is assuming that someone running a GARaaS service wasn't a scammer to begin with.
The EARN IT act is back, and it’s more dangerous than ever
In a free society, businesses shouldn’t be able to suppress or punish customers for their political views. We already require businesses to not just do whatever they want in many ways. That’s what anti discrimination laws do, for example. We just need to make political viewpoint a protected class as well.

Apart from that, we also regulate a lot of private companies to be neutral. Your power utility may be private but can’t deplatform you. Telecom carriers are similar. Social media companies are just common carriers and public utilities that have avoided regulation so far with careful political donations. Payment companies (Visa, MasterCard, Stripe, PayPal, and yes, GoFundMe) are all just basic payment utilities and should also be treated as public utilities in many ways even if they remain private otherwise.
Fastmail

I've just moved, and it's great. Import is fantastic (I migrated 14GB of email) and I've used Dmarcian to monitor and confirm everything is perfect on the SPF, DKIM front. Spam initially got through, but once trained it's been flawless I've personally abandoned labels for folders as I used barely 10 labels in Gmail and seldom added more than one, but they do support labels if you want that. It's great for wildcard email and aliases.

I've moved the calendar over too via Google takeout for the individual .ics files. On Android I use DAVx5 to keep using the Google calendar app (point it at your fastmail account and it will display in Google calendar).

For Drive I've moved to syncthing and am using a Synology NAS as my always online master copy, but each of my computers has a copy. I also installed libre office on my laptop.

And I'm keeping a Gmail account just for Android backup and app purchases, etc.
Problems with gmeet:

1. No calling function. Most of the times I want to immediately call a person, like a phone. It should make the other person's computer ring, and they should be able to answer the call with one click. Gmeet doesn't do this.

2. Screen sharing options are extremely limited. Compare the ways zoom allows you to share your screen to what meet does. It's hilarious.

3. No screen annotations. No cursor control. No screen pointers. It's quite annoying to have to use such a limited product.

4. Screen sharing and video quality is atrocious. Again, look at zoom to find out what you're missing.

5. Screen recording is horribly low quality. It's almost impossible to read text on a shared screen recording, even though it was readable in the call itself.

6. Layout options. It seems Google has discovered the worst possible algorithms to lay out videos on the screen during a call. Many times it will even minimize presented content, and then everybody has to manually pin the thumbnail. There is no option to overlay the speakers video over presented content, which should be pretty high up in the list of features.

7. In call chat is lost after the call ends. It just goes straight to /dev/null. Who signed off on this?

I can go on, but I'm frustrated now just thinking about it. The problem is people don't even know how good the other stuff is. So it's hard to convey my helplessness.
Apple's list is utterly incomplete. The thing is, Apple won't necessarily discontinue named services because they don't really like to name their services.

They've killed things like their book printing from iPhoto/Photos, but it never had a marketable name, so a list like that is kind of dumb to use with Apple.
I just did the Gmail —> iCloud transition and was frustrated that the MBOX format failed to maintain labels / folders. Everything went into a single place. On researching it seemed like the best process was to set up two IMAP accounts in Apple Mail and simply drag and drop the directories. I’ve done this, but it is still a pain and took 100x longer than I expected.
Yes, but if people hear about dams they don't even blink but they all lose their minds if they hear about nuclear. There is no goalpost moving here, just comparing risks and nuclear looks pretty good.
That might be true if you're in a political science course or something, but in the US "liberal", "leftism", "left-wing" is usually synonymous with each other. Some of the "liberal causes" that the article talks about include "women’s march, BLM, and Occupy Wall Street ".
As much as they try to hide the fact, it is actually possible to join a Zoom meeting in your browser. That way you don't have to install a sketchy app with root privileges and directory traversal bugs.

No idea what this did to my IQ/personality, but I somehow managed to survive (60 years so far).

Apparent reason is losing hope to monetize the product. They literally do not care how popular or beloved it is. In the end it is the business and not a charity foundation.
That would imply the existence of legal "black markets".
True, though that could also happen with the right court case. A bunch of right to repair related stuff, ‘right of fair use’, etc. has been won that way.

Intellectual property law has always had an element of ‘society gives you these protections with the idea and understanding that it makes EVERYONE wealthier in the long run’. There is no NATURAL RIGHT (as in, something that will happen unless interfered with) to exclusive anything related to knowledge.

If anything, it requires extraordinary work and legal protections for it to be even a potential thing, and that is becoming more and more the case.

To get that protection from Society (without it just being a naked theft from everyone anyway), there should be some exchange or actual improvement for the rest of society.

Saying that at a minimum if you have exclusive rights to sell or distribute something, you must be selling or distributing it at a rate that allows normal people to access it (there is the tough part - how do you define that!) or you lose exclusivity and anyone can distribute copies for free - seems perfectly fair.

It also encourages archiving and retention of our history, which would be a good sell for overall society I imagine.
Uppy – Sleek, modular open source JavaScript file uploader
They defined a neural network operation which can in principal learn to approximate certain equations used in Nuclear physics and other quantum field theories.

Approximating QFT/Nuclear physics is a very difficult task given current algorithms, so this opens potential doors for learning "faster" approximations which allow simulating more complex systems. Of course, defining the error in this approximation becomes quite difficult. They claim the following in their paper.

1. A theoretical proof that the new operation can approximate the relevant equations.

2. An evaluation of the model trained against a traditional simulation on both equal sized and "larger sized" problems. Unfortunately they only summarize this as a "High degree of accuracy" and present charts. I'd love to see a summary table of results with a final numeric accuracy evaluation.
Sounds like something they'll cancel soon.
Right, and this is why I use Privacy one-time-use burner cards (or Blur burner credit cards) for almost everything online these days.
Mxroute, migadu, purelymail (in beta). Can also consider Gandi.net which gives two 3G email when you use them as domain registrar, their domain pricing however is not the cheapest you can find.
I don't understand this. It's a free 7-day trial. If I cancel during the 7-day trial, the following cancellation terms apply: If you cancel within 14 days of your initial order, you'll be fully refunded.

7 < 14.

Also, it's not even clear if the 7 days do even count towards the 14 days, since in that case they could just as well state "first 14 days are free". But they are not free, since they belong to the first subscription month. They'd be 14 consumed days of the first month if no cancellation is made.

This should mean that the 7 days are not a part of the initial order. The initial order would get placed automatically after 7 days, you are just expressing your intent to automatically order after the 7 days of trial.

If this is not true, then they are definitely scamming their users, but I doubt that they would risk going to court for this.

But what I definitely think is a big scam is the 50% cancellation fee of the initial order, with the condition that you only get to use the remaining days of the month.

For example, if you cancel in the third week, you still have to pay around USD 300 (the tweets indicated a USD 600 per year cost), but you only get one week for that, instead of being able to use the full 6 months (50% of a year) you are actually paying for.

---

If I go to that page, there is the following text (it's also in his Tweet):

Cancel before --> 26 Feb [today is 5 Feb] <-- to get a full refund and avoid a fee. You can cancel your subscription anytime via your Adobe Account page or by contacting Customer Support. Learn more.

This means that they are actually giving you a cancellation right of 7+14 days, just as mentioned in the "subscription and cancellation terms" plus the 7 days.

According to Wolfram Alpha "today + (14 + 7) days" = Feb 26, 2022

So no, you are not getting scammed with this free trial.
