A cosmic bitflip is unlikely to lose all the data
In a video, you’ll get one frame of distortion (if it’s a key frame, it may be several seconds of distortion)
Similarly for a text file, picture, etc.
99.999% of the time you wouldn’t notice

The number of times I’ve been debugging something and a coworker messages “I asked ChatGPT and it said [obviously wrong thing]” makes me want to gouge my eyes out


I’d assume he “graduated” because of his father’s donations being tied to his graduation, not due to academic prowess


If the US really tried to take Greenland by force, I think China would see the opportunity and try to align with the remnants of NATO
Whether the other countries in NATO agree or not… Dunno


They’re using the new SOCAMM standard, which current consumer hardware can’t use.
It’s a different physical interface.
Whether it will end up coming to consumer grade motherboards… 🤷♂️


Looks like 47 GiB across two lines last month.
We only use WiFi at home, not when out


but so far I’ve been right about everything
Ffs. Why are the dumbest people the most overconfident.
There seems to be some inverse relation between confidence and intelligence…
If you’re really going down that route, you need to also remember that even the C programmed Linux Kernel is highly OOP


Interestingly, yours is so much easier to read than theirs.
Are there people who think systemd is a badly implemented stack of Legos, who also think things like snap, flatpak, docker, and Wayland are solid bricks…?


Hey, the last one is great.
Now when I get asked “what do you think about Copilot,” I can just say, “I prefer LibreOffice”


Windows uses them by default for updates (they call it “Delivery Optimization”)
apt-p2p exists, but it’s not installed by default, so is unlikely to have enough peers to be useful


Then you are using a feature phone, or a standard Android/iOS device with their tools preinstalled
If you try to use it with a free operating system, it’s not possible.
Here are the instructions for installing the bridge code on Graphene: https://grapheneos.org/usage#esim-support


From the phone manufacturer, it’s fewer traces and less mechanical design work.
From the carrier side, it requires you to have their spyware installed to register the Sim
From a user perspective, someone can’t just steal your Sim and put it in another phone


That really is how these companies think.
I’ve seen car companies selling $100,000+ cars sweating over whether we use a $0.10 more expensive part that would last 3x longer than the cheaper one


I think it’s common for the antennas to contain both GPS and LTE. I think the fuse would power the whole fin?
On the head unit side, they’re generally separate cables


That’s what most? cars used for a long time (there is also GENIVI)
Many manufacturers are switching to Android as the base OS so they can just hire app developers rather than developers that know other UI toolkits


On most cars, it’s probably easier to unplug it on the head unit side. They’re generally designed to be accessed for repair
Still longer, but at least just use
apt upgrade --update
The greatest WYGIWYG editor, with an extremely consistent error interface.
