Your point, as written, was: "Marketing is a pox on the human mind that we’d all be better off without.” A reasonable response is that marketing has likely directly benefited your life.

Replacing accept-incoming-connections with polling just changes the threat story from "An outside attacker can compromise the machine" to "An outside attacker can compromise the machine every sixty seconds."
It should be noted, that for some of the providers, the OpenVPN configs they provide and their clients actually do different things.

The ones I've dug into do seem to all setup VPN networks with their clients, but some of them do something extra to special case some major media services. You'll see little oddities, like the webpage for disneyplus.com being routed through some special IP, no doubt to work around a block, which the content CDN requests are left to load through the normal VPN connection. The OpenVPN config file does none of this.

On top of this, how they get these IPs that are unblocked, is ... questionable.

Yes I would be okay in the hypothetical situation you've constructed, with loaded language and fear tactics.

I would also be fine with publicly shaming view points like yours and getting you fired from your job for being completely xenophobic. I can't imagine how you view your middle eastern coworkers who you've decided hate women and shit?

Not a new problem, same old thing happens despite the platform. Cultural/people issue as are many.
largest safe size to use is ~548 bytes - anything more than that and you need tcp
True, but it could very well be the opposite: financial incentives can encourage churning through equipment even faster.

Another problem: the Global South is a huge user of second hard stuff (car, phones, everything).

"smart" devices kill the second hand market on purpose, to prevent reuse, leading to way more consumption and pollution.

Never trust market forces to solve environmental problems.
M1 is overrated. I own MacBook Pro with M1 Max. It’s fast, but it’s not something that helps in day to day use. And ARM compatibility issues not really helping. Battery is not that amazing either. I spent 30 minutes in discord and battery was at 91%, 5 hours is not something unique. It’s good, fast and expensive laptop. But not something that I could call mind breaking.
Absolutely! For instance, Jacob Rees-Mogg lives in roughly 1840 CE.
TFA is in practice an example, no? An Arab Israeli cannot marry and live with an Arab from occupied territory just "next door" (their affinity group), but a Jewish Israeli can marry from their affinity group and live anywhere (laws on marriage within Israel are restrictive and often prevent even Jews from marrying other Jews if they are not deemed officially Jewish, I think through matrilinear heredity, but if you are Jewish you can freely travel and marry outside the state and travel back to Israel and have the marriage legally recognized in full).

You might argue that technically this is targeting non-citzens and is therefore not affecting Israeli citizens of any nationality. But to me this is clearly targeted at limiting the normal actions of one group of citizens, while there are other laws to expand and accelerate analogous actions by another group of citizens. There are tens of thousands of Arab Israelis who have been married to non-Israeli Palestinians since 2003 when this law first went into place (the new law is just a law that regularizes a "temporary" "security" law that was renewed yearly until it surprisingly did not get support for yearly renewal in 2021). Those tens of thousands of families are in a very precarious situation, with a spouse with very limited rights to movement, and no rights at all if their Israeli citizen spouse were to die, etc. -- they would be deported (and I believe many have been).

Edit: Israel's interior minister has referred to the law's purpose in a way that shows the purpose is also to discriminate against the Arab Israelis and their ability to get married and have a normal family life: "we don’t need to mince words, the law also has demographic reasons": https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/shaked-family-unificatio...

As for more specific and direct examples, it is legal for the Jewish National Fund to refuse to sell or lease land to non-Jewish national Israelis (i.e., mostly Arab Israelis). The JNF is not public, but it owns a substantial percentage of Israeli land, about 13%, and I don't have information to hand, but I believe there are other bodies with similar practices that administer the majority of Israeli land in this way -- that's a hazy memory though, and I don't have time to research it again, so I wouldn't rely on it.

The Admissions Committees Law also allows for town committees to deny the right of Israelis to buy/lease land/property if they are deemed "unsuitable to the social life of the community [...] or the social and cultural fabric of the town", and allows for the cultural fabric of the town to be based on "special characteristics", such as defining themselves as having a "Zionist vision". This further means non-Zionist citizens are barred -- of course, many Jews in the world are non-Zionist or even anti-Zionist, but I don't think it's jumping to conclusions to infer based on the cultural backdrop that this is primarily a means to exclude non-Jewish nationals.

I think those two are specific examples of "legal" discrimination directly on the basis of non-Jewish nationality.
Sure, like Fukushima, which is rare, and had a single death?
More importantly, because neither system gives you meaningful context, both of those things you mention can be true at the same time and you could never know which to trust.

When you want to validate a piece of information in your view of the world (to use your example, "how common is labor action?"), the most important question to ask (and often the question with the most obscure answer) is "what is the base rate?".
We're hiring a devrel and our jobs show pay ranges: https://fusionauth.io/jobs/senior-developer-advocate

I don't think they pay junior engineer level, but if they are, please let me know.
Right; there's a reason we literally call the browser the "user agent", and uBlock is just a part of that. It's not impersonating me, it's a vital part of the browser being a useful tool for me.
C++ still mixes with lots of C code especially in the system programming field, i.e. C++ has to use many Posix C calls, C++ does not have its own socket() API replacement for network programming, even C++ thread uses pthread underneath, etc.

Unlike other languages, C++ needs quite some C code to get the whole thing working sometimes. I do agree that when you learn C++, you should not focus on its C roots.

I really think articles like this can help drive Lenovo to go back to their old superior keyboards.

However, apart from the missing [2019], should there not also be a [Sponsored] tag? The author's review can't reliably be seen to be unbiased (emphasis mine below).

I just spent the better part of this past year year struggling with the Thinkpad P1, Lenovo's latest effort to compete with Dell's XPS 15 and Precision 5500 line. I had had a Precision 5510 in the past, which had been my favorite laptop of all time, except for some small issues that led me to explore Lenovo's latest.

I was talking with the Dell folks recently about my experiences with (and general fussiness regarding) Linux laptops and **they offered to send me a new Precision 5540 to give them constructive feedback.** After a few days with the new machine, it was obvious that it was the machine for me and I shut down my Thinkpad P1 for good.
Hiya Greg! Hope things are going well for you!
I got it from Russian sources on Telegram, but you did ask what their claim was. You’ll have to go looking for the claims as they’re unlikely to get much airtime in the west. I think it’s to early to tell and if the Russians want me to believe their claims he’ll need to drop a whole lot more docs. AFAIK that hasn’t happened yet, I just was a PowerPoint and some docs that someone had translated, but I have no idea if the translation presented was correct.

Depending on which way the Chinese go with this we could end up with covid was created by the USA in a Ukrainian lab and then sent to China via migratory birds.... which would tie things up in a neat little bow. (Edit: should mention I'm not saying that's what happened - but I'm interested to see if it'll be claimed to have happened)
Do you know that the ARM one will run linux on day one?
All things about how society organizes and regulates itself are politics. There exists no pure, apolitical thing to prize for being beyond politics. Asserting that there will be no moderation of speech beyond the minimum required by law is a political perspective on how things should be conducted, and a pretty strong one.
This is not the case everywhere yet, and Tesla does ban some modified (Tesla branded) cars from their chargers.
No.

I have a 5550 which is I assume what the author is referring to. It’s garbage. Overheats constantly, the touchpad is dire, the screen has bad vignette around the edges, it’s noisy, the thing hard freezes when you plug it into a dock, the webcam only works 50% of the time you power it up and if you pick it up by the base it flexes so badly the touchpad clicks. The keyboard is also soggy as hell and the battery lasts 3 hours if you’re really lucky.

It’s the worst laptop I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. I am just glad I didn’t pay for the thing.

But a Thinkpad or a MacBook and just give this a hard pass.

I’m using a 14” MacBook Pro which was much cheaper and it’s a far more productive machine without all of the above problems!
Wasnt it sponsored by the airforce?
I am one of those people that don't care what something looks like, as long as I can plug it into my docking station and occasionally use it stand-alone. However, I can see your ergonomics and "general slickness" point as I've had some work laptops in the past that had the worst keyboard layouts or the touch-pad was placed weirdly or I had to do the Contra cheat code on the keyboard to incant the proper spell to get it to startup properly. I work on a personal laptop that is ~3 years old and I don't think I'll need to replace it ever, since I can replace parts and it's faster than I will ever need for my use cases.
To this Day Rebirth-338 is still the funnest 303 clone software I've ever played with.
That view can only be supported by false nostalgia or a VERY selective reading of the material and history of the time IMO.

It was a mess, widespread censorship, corruption, and yellow news was common, and it was a period of extreme social turmoil.
I don't know how long ago you used it, but it's install and forget and works great. Maybe once every few months I'll use it to hide a frame on a random site.
Democratizing
Tech companies are making themselves active participants in conflicts involving powerful countries. Sooner or later, one of those countries is going to reach out and strike back in the physical world. It's just a matter of time. When it was little nudges in color revolutions in relatively weak countries, there was not much to worry about. Now? They're playing with fire and the tech folks doesn't seem they have a clue that this is the case. They feel very secure launching attacks against nation-states that have histories of creating very bad luck for unprotected outsiders who involve themselves in a conflict.
I have a Dell Precision 5560 with Ubuntu installed from the factory. While the article says that they find power management is where the laptop shines, I have had the opposite experience. I've found that often my 5560 is dead because the battery quickly drains when its off. Does anyone have a fix for this? It seems this thread has attracted some fellow users. Do you have this problem as well? It's really surprising to me that this was an issue out of the box from a vendor who has been selling Linux systems for a while now.
As an aside, that sounds like a smart cat, not a stupid one. Perhaps your cat enjoys seeing you react to its shenanigans? :)
My car has a factory CD player still. Yay!

It's located INSIDE the glove box. WTH?
And, it's 40% that don't show up even on devices and browsers where you can't install uBlock.
It's simply the best there is.
I had used various of the adblock** plugins until I came across uBlock Origin.

Whatever it is you want to block, Javascript, fonts, ads, etc, it's just works, with global defaults and per-page exceptions.
I wish the component players had better read failure programming to overcome those scratches. I have tried finding reviews for the better players with no luck. Using a laptop sometimes handles scratches better.
BotCity Framework Web 0.4.1 Released
This was true of the previous transponder systems as well. I think the main defense against such attacks so far has been the jack booted thugs that will show up to the location of the transmitter and hunt down whoever is responsible.
> while making room for the truth that there is propaganda in both directions.

Both my comments in this comment section are flagged, so I guess there is no room for that.
Not by Lenovo. Officially it comes with Windows 11
I've heard that electric cars are generally much more reliable than combustion engines: Much fewer parts that gain wear and tear. Have I been misled?
@midnightclubbed love to hear about some models that you think are worth looking for.
But remember, there's no such thing as a 10x engineer! /s
They know about it! I could write the patch, but they're not going to accept it; there's something weird going on about this.
This is less about the user but about 3rd party "out of network" repair shops. The manufacturer's control over everything increases. It used to be that you could take your device to anywhere, now it's all about "in-network". It's a general trend.

Personally, I think the system was much more "capitalistic" and a lot less limiting when you just needed general tools and knowledge to repair stuff in an entire category (cars, electrical household machines, etc.). I'd really like to see where this is going to end up a hundred years from now. I don't think all the long-term implications of this trend are really clear at this point yet. A more complex society may have to live with less freedom for individuals and compensate elsewhere. Even if at least some of current complexity is purposefully made for the purpose to create artificial restrictions, there may also be benefits that I'm unable to see from my low vantage point. Maybe in the future it offers manufacturers options to create really useful value on top of such restrictions, I don't know yet.

A Dashboard for How Many Games Work on Linux and the Steam Deck
Have they been weaponised?
Shelter, I would add.
There are/were standalone off the shelf USB devices that sort of did this, minute the network part which I had some interest in. I own an old one, but since my main machine is linux it's lack of linux drivers made it of dubious usefulness to me. I could control a linux machine with it, but the software that captures keystrokes/mouse and then sends them off through a simulated keyboard/mouse only had Windows/Mac versions.
There is two things going on here that are getting lumped under the same umbrella.
1) Modern marketing that uses a deep understanding of psychology to treat people as a series of levers to be pressed in order to get a certain reaction.
2) Service discovery. This can be really valuable. Just imagine you made something you were truly proud of and thought would bring value to others lives, or of something you already think is incredible. Finding out about it brought you value.

These two things both get called advertising but we have (quite reasonably) different feelings about them.
AI Can Make Weather Forecasting Better and Cheaper
"you're on your own" is like, the expected thing when you are doing something different.

Still, Alpine is on top of everyone else when it comes to Docker Images sizes. Thats why it will stick.
it's not rudeness. (I assume the rules about workplace kitchenware is that everyone has to return them, etc.)

sure, I completely see your point. I am the buy more fork guy in almost all of my social circles. like you said, it's just inexpensive, easy, etc.

but that doesn't necessarily works for attention. it's pretty scarce, so if someone feels they are really bothered by these hellos, then stating their preference up front seems okay to me.

career advancement is important, but the recruiter won't care, the interviewer won't care, and your next team also won't care about what happened on the internal lists at the previous workplace. (even if it's the first hit for your name in Google)
"Turns off when I tell it to and does not disobey me" is part of "safe".
Something a bit different but I'm a huge fan of NSwag recently.

https://github.com/RicoSuter/NSwag

We use it on a project at work in C# and I've also been using it personally on pet projects with TypeScript.

Allows you to automatically generate REST API clients based on Swagger/OpenAPI specs and is very customizable.

Really nice if building out microservices and you're wanting to communicate between each other or building web apps and want to communicate with APIs. Saves a lot of time writing code to make requests and handle different status codes etc. Automatically generates all the classes/interfaces with sane naming schemes etc.

Even has a GUI application to generate the configs also if you wish.
Are they? For a developer audience, sure. But I think there's a reason why they were considered "obscure" but past reporting regarding SolarWinds. They make amazing products, but developer tools aren't exactly a thing most people know about.
I think this should say (2019) in the title, I was somewhat surpried to read "Dell ships a pre-installed a customized Ubuntu LTS release (currently 18.04) "
This "brown people" phrase is commonly used to disparage concerns about incompatible values and cultural norms. And this is probably only context where I see middle easterners grouped like this.

Not GP, but I do consider this to be low-key racist and aaomidi to be somewhat racist, but maybe for different reason than GP.
Sounds like what we're really saying is "You don't ever own a software-as-a-service controlled vehicle". If all cars ran on software updates then these complaints apply to combustion engine vehicles too.
Redwood City: Climate Best by Government Test
I don't if there's something specific, but there's a pattern of companies getting bought than after a year or two, your favorite thing about the platform gets remove or put behind a paywall.
It might not happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Not sure where you live, but there were a lot of 'compliance cars' in California which were factory EV conversions of their traditional offerings.
As an example, the Fiat 500e (2013-2019, it has since been replaced by a ground-up electric version with the same faults as described in the article) is a normal 500 fitted with a Bosch SMG 180/120 motor and associated support components.

The 500e is virtually identical to the ICE version of the car, with a very hacked up looking shifter filler panel with buttons to control the motor and charger jack inside the gas filler door. The main downside with the compliance car life is they are all very short range, generally 50-100 miles. Also now that the program is shut down you don't get the rebate anymore so they are all discontinued (but readily available used).

There is no DRM on the Bosch SMG system, I have an android app and bluetooth adapter that lets you view all of the CAN messages, and many people online have successfully rebuilt their batteries with more modern cells to increase the range.
In many jurisdictions it's legal to have a digital backup if you own the cd/dvd. So you wouldn't necessarily have to actually use the CD/DVD to play the media.
Actually, I didn't remember it right, it wasn't tkinter. It was probably some other popular GUI library. I just tested tkinter + threading/multiprocessing on Python 3.4.3 on Windows 7, and it works fine. I'm sorry for the false information.
You’re misconstruing what he thinks. He has literally told everyone openly (not what you claim is open via Kolmogorov Complicity).

“ This is far enough from my field that I would usually defer to expert consensus, but all the studies I can find which try to assess expert consensus seem crazy. A while ago, I freaked out upon finding a study that seemed to show most expert scientists in the field agreed with Murray's thesis in 1987 - about three times as many said the gap was due to a combination of genetics and environment as said it was just environment. Then I freaked out again when I found another study (here is the most recent version, from 2020) showing basically the same thing (about four times as many say it’s a combination of genetics and environment compared to just environment). I can't find any expert surveys giving the expected result that they all agree this is dumb and definitely 100% environment and we can move on (I'd be very relieved if anybody could find those, or if they could explain why the ones I found were fake studies or fake experts or a biased sample, or explain how I'm misreading them or that they otherwise shouldn't be trusted. If you have thoughts on this, please send me an email). I've vacillated back and forth on how to think about this question so many times, and right now my personal probability estimate is "I am still freaking out about this, go away go away go away". And I understand I have at least two potentially irresolveable biases on this question: one, I'm a white person in a country with a long history of promoting white supremacy; and two, if I lean in favor then everyone will hate me, and use it as a bludgeon against anyone I have ever associated with, and I will die alone in a ditch and maybe deserve it. So the best I can do is try to route around this issue when considering important questions. This is sometimes hard, but the basic principle is that I'm far less sure of any of it than I am sure that all human beings are morally equal and deserve to have a good life and get treated with respect regardless of academic achievement.

(Hopefully I’ve given people enough ammunition against me that they won’t have to use hallucinatory ammunition in the future.)”
Same here - I'm ready to move on from my 2015 XPS13, but having recently got an M1 Mac for work I'm now not prepared to compromise on battery life. If a major Linux distro (Ubuntu or Fedora) is shown to work well on the new ThinkPad, I'll be getting one pretty quickly.
