I thought OpenWRT doesn’t support modems due to licencing issues.
So, I guess you would need a separate modem, or ISP router in bridge mode, or double NAT with OpenWRT being DMZ

Starting with a pool of all users who use alternative DNS for any reason, users of pirate sites – especially sites broadcasting the matches in question – were isolated from the rest. Users of both VPNs and third-party DNS were further excluded from the group since DNS blocking is ineffective against VPNs.

Proust found that the number of users likely to be affected by DNS blocking at Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco, amounts to 0.084% of the total population of French Internet users. Citing a recent survey, which found that only 2% of those who face blocks simply give up and don’t find other means of circumvention, he reached an interesting conclusion.

“2% of 0.084% is 0.00168% of Internet users! In absolute terms, that would represent a small group of around 800 people across France!”

I wonder how much the court case cost, and if those costs are in anyway likely to be recouped even if all 800 of those convert to a subscription.

I believe PCIe 4.0 wasnt that useful for big server farms, because network cards were already at 400gbps. Even at 100gbps networking, that’s only 2 ports.
PCIe 5.0 is only 1 port of 400gbps.
So PCIe 6.0 is the next actually big step for a lot of servers, so you can finally get dual 400gbps ports on 1 card

Ah, yes good point

But it is a fixed ratio.
If it was in pounds, metric tons, moles or atomic mass units… It doesn’t change the ratio, the actual number.

Would it be acceptable to drop the unit all together?
“Lethal dose is 0.000000012 : 1 (substance : bodyweight)” (I made up the number).
I’m not sure if there is a better way of writing the ratio.

Could a fraction be more applicable?
“lethal dose is 1/600000 of bodyweight”

I’m sure it’s written as ng/kg to show the base units are the same, and the rest is just “fiddling” scientific notation

Sparkling water, on tap!

Ear buds where the cost goes to quality and isolation as opposed to gimmicks/Bluetooth/functionality.
Airpods are amazing for casual use.
IEMs (with a cable, of course) are amazing for music.

It’s what musicians use on stage to hear what everyone is doing (iems and individual mixes are so accessible these days, used to be super $$$$ per iem mix).
They range from budget (1 driver per bud) to decent (3-5 drivers per bud) to esoteric (like 16 drivers per bud).
Most have modular cables that disconnect at the earbud (so when the cable breaks you are paying thousands for a new set. Or to get custom cable lengths).
And all decent brands can be custom moulded to your ear, so you go to a hearing specialist, they will cast your ear, and you send that to the manufacturers and they will send you moulded IEMs. They are very comfy.
Some brands have a DIY moulding process, but I wouldn’t trust myself!

If you are into live music & loud gigs, even loud clubs, I really strongly recommend you get a moulded set of earplugs with 10db attenuation. They are for musicians and have as flat a response as is possible, and will take the edge off any hearing damage.

Hard to justify you’re job when all you do is manage a team that does non-visible minor tweaks and improvements that affects like 3% of the user base.
Maintenance isn’t constant growth, gotta redesign.

If netflix are embracing new technology (maybe something that allows 1080p playback on any browser, instead of just chrome) and the changes required are significant enough, then a redesign incorporating the big lessons learned from the current design make sense.

I’m guessing they don’t understand scientific notation, and “numbers are close” without understanding the numbers are much more significant

Browser history was implemented before companies massively abused privacy.
It was an honest feature for users.
We also learned a lot about security regarding password/credential extraction from browsers.

Windows Recall might be an honest feature. It might be super secure and really useful.
But Microsoft doesn’t have the trust to pull this off

Spotify spending millions to have the Joe Rogan podcast on their platform.

If you just want music, Spotify is wasting a lot of your subscription fee on unwanted features like podcasts, AI nonsense etc.

Maybe tidal?
Tidal is basically Spotify, but cheaper, pays more to the artists and is, imo, better.
Googling for “tidal wearos” has some interesting bits, but I don’t have a smart watch so I have no idea what I’m looking at

Any older disk based console also required a memory card.
Pretty sure the controller was the first to have an analogue joystick.
I think a lot of the quirks of the N64 were because they were essentially first drafts. A lot of first, a lot of ground breaking tech.
Nobody knew what they were doing, at that time: nothing was wrong

Obviously it’s a fart counter. Resets at midnight.
OP has been busy!

I’m sure this is a meme, but the trust is proving the OS is not tampered with.
Like, if malware was able to inject a malicious windows update URL into the OS, and inject a malicious certificate that gets the OS to trust the malicious updates by the malicious URL.
The signature of the OS would then differ from what the TPM/CPU recorded during OS boot and what the TPM/CPU has hashed during running. This would indicate that the OS has been tampered with.
So the trust in TPM is that the TPM and CPU are working together correctly (which is certified during manufacturing), so that the TPM can then attest that the OS (or software or whatever) hasn’t been tampered with.

So yeh, it’s MS (or whatever software company) trusting that the software it is interacting with is running as it is intended

If you want to power your house independently from the grid, your house has to be independent from the grid.
Anything where you sell your excess power back to the grid is in tight cooperation with the grid operators.

Standard house wiring is not set up to accommodate back feeding the grid nor independently powering.
So you will need a changeover switch professionally fitted if you want an independent power source, or your solar panel installers will fit the appropriate equipment to back-feed the grid.
Anything else will likely involve deaths, fires, broken equipment, criminal prosecution, insurance invalidation and all that nasty stuff.

Between the for-profit businesses of Google and bitwarden, I’m going to trust bitwarden more.

Bitwarden, DNS and email are the 3 services I pay for.
Passwords can’t be inaccessible, free DNS services never have an LE API, and email is extremely difficult to self host. The uptime and security I expect for these things means I’m happy paying someone else to take care of it.

Bitwarden seem to be a great company and doing everything right (even though they are being annoyingly slow with passkeys on android, my only fault with their service).
Their subscription is extremely reasonable, so even if I figured I could self host it, I’d rather pay bitwarden

People hate having their favorite brand associated with vile or unethical things.

True. But not ads, which this quote is taking about. People hate ads. It’s the ads people hate, not the context of the ads.
If your favourite brand hired some neo-nazi as their new spokesperson, that’s a bit different than some garbage ad sitting beside some garbage AI content.
The only reason “ads beside garbage content” is ever leveraged (ie a news story) is as a way to either hurt the garbage content or hurt the company the ad is for.

Like with shitty twitter content, consumers can pressure twitter to deal with the content by alerting companies that they are being seen next to shitty content. Companies then leverage the fact that they are paying twitter to get their ads away from that content. If enough companies do this, twitter might change their content policy to prevent this kind of shitty content.
Like with YouTube, it has loads of demonitizing policies to ensure companies who advertise there don’t get negative press due to association with the content, which means YouTube should have a majority of quality content.

But, no. (The majority of) People don’t hate their brand advertising next to particular content. People just hate ads.

The certs are still valid.
They are just not implicitly trusted
