So that's what those linux stickers are for!

Userid checks out (age) :). Hope you're doing better

I agree... White heterosexual men have it so bad

Well technically speaking rust conducts reasonably well (much less than iron of course), but one of the problem is that rust is larger than iron. It pushes apart the material, creates tears, and that is what reduces conductivity.

Statistics dictate that some of it will be decent, and someone will curate it.

I imagine that people with a good film school education will start producing gems that would never have been possible without AI - think George Lucas making THX 1138 directly.

The next problem is getting the word out without the use of a movie company like Paramount. Young people I know seem to be experimenting with their own purpose built social networks, this one for instance: https://rendeznous.be/.

Bonus points for mentioning Sun Ray. We decided against it, the workstation was going the way of the dodo at the time anyway.

What about when fiber installation is run concurrently with copper retrieval?

Does that mean you have an iPhone? I'm using Android and afaik it is not possible to delete Google Maps there (not that I actually use it on my phone).

Of course you'd support non "W" in the WNBA. But only the non "W" from your team.

What is this s***?
Do you know how many non-W players there have been in the WNBA? Want to take a guess?
Here's a clue, the number is an integer less than one.

no end to the Iran war in sight

Oh come on, the Iran war is going to end soon, it will be followed by some negotiations which will break down, at that point the counter will reset and there will be a new Iran war (totally unrelated to the previous two).
The Iran wars will end when Benji Netanyahu says so, and that is not about to happen.

One of the Related Links I saw here was https://slashdot.org/story/26/01/13/2026229/jpeg-xl-image-support-returns-to-latest-chromechromium-code - Chrome has been offering this since mid January. If it works on Chrome - and is a positive feature - then it is time for Firefox to offer it.

I don't understand why people still believe that C++ is usable as a systems programming language. It is simply not fit for purpose. I know, cause I tried for a uni project. And this was not at the beginning of the language. I'm talking mid-2000s, and C++ was incapable of making more than a few million network connections before crashing outright. And that's just the more obvious part of the networking code. The fact that developers never thought to test their networking libraries still baffles me to this day.

Systems programming needs robustness and safety above anything else. C++ is so riddled with holes it boggles the mind.

That I very much doubt, these were probably prepared for export. I can think of a few questions here:
- some Slovakian political parties are pro Russian, what was their role in this debacle?
- what is the background for the Cypriot "shell company" involved?
- what numbers are they using for the SMS messages? Specifically, the country code.
- the SMS-activated Russian backdoors depend on which network? G2, G3, G4 or even G5?

You are basing your argument on logic. Logic doesn't matter, this is a legal matter.

There is cheap hardware now. There are very few realistic userspace loads that require DDR5. Waiting two more seconds won't kill you.

You can just buy a 2023-era laptop. It works fine.
