If it's not an original part, then don't use the reference code, it's as simple as that. Otherwise that's counterfeit.
To give more details, I hate it when nowadays you order a part online and you get a 3D-printed piece of shit instead. I've had several bad experiences, one being a wheel for a suitcase, when I put the empty suitcase up, the wheel broke off. Others are 3D-printed plastic to replace a metal bike part; really ?!? Even things like wood knife handle replaced by 3D-printed garbage !
The very structure of 3D-prints make it so there is a weakness in the layering; it'll break at the 1st opportunity.

I'd say don't give him any ideas, but republicans have already suggested it, and after demolishing the east wing, all bets are off. He's just meglomanical enough to try.

Israel should be able to do war crimes because america does war crimes is lizard brain logic. both countries need to cut it out.

Canada didn't kick the crazy people out of the party. Carney put them in his cabinet.

If the recent change to Twitter which put location on user profiles is anything to go by, most of the troll farms seem to be in India and Pakistan.

I ordered a single run of the mill 16Gb SoDimm DDR4 to upgrade a laptop 2 weeks ago. After a week the order was showing delivery in... april 2026 !!! I canceled the order and ordered from somewhere a bit more efficient. I dunno if that's related as AI uses top of the line ECC DDR5 in banks way bigger than 16Gb... But if so that's fucking dumb.

Should you choose to believe the gossip, this is apparently being seen as a good thing amongst Apple's staff.

Seems to be a case of the Gene Wilder's Wonka scene "oh no, stop!" while doing nothing to actually stop it.

Sorry - as a full-blown human-caused climate change believer, I am also old enough to remember being told that we were in an inter-ice age era and that it would end in my lifetime. I'm in the UK, and I clearly remember a school textbook with drawn pictures of Trafalgar Square fully iced up. This would be early 80s.

Let's not deny that bad information has been given in the past. Bad information is also likely being given today, and will be tomorrow as well. Mistakes happen. I like that this paper has been caught and do not in any way see it as a problem.

I'm seeing a lot of scepticism in the posts, whereas in fact this approach works really well. I'm going to use the example of the Mac - Rosetta 2. I play games running x86 code all the time on my M2 ARM chip, and it's not really noticeable at all. Taking exactly the same approach and applying it to Linux - yep, why on earth not? Already proven to work well.

Maybe I'm just a weirdo but I am very annoyed at them for trying to take away the option of local-only accounts. Why do I need to let them be a third party to everything I do starting with logging in? Nobody asked for this.

At this stage, the best way forward is to apply the "Debian" patch to your system to restore local accounts, and strip out the all the daft AI guff

This is bizarre, not to mention terribly Boomerish.

They could say no. No-one is stopping them.

They won't because they care more about money than their long-term customers.

This is why such people shouldn't be in positions of power. And won't be in the society that arises from the collapse of this one because we'll be damn sure to drum into the survivors that the merchant caste can never, ever be put in control again.
