Because it would be hugely expensive to put them back in 2 years, and thus 'wasteful'. And it would break the continuity of data. What a bunch of cunts this administration is. When all is said and done I seriously hope some of them will be found out to have colluded with foreign powers and hung for treason.

I always knew there would be a time when I wouldn't know the top famous singer... But a time when I wouldn't have any idea how to pronounce his name, no, I did not expect that. But back on topic, good; but now throw the entire Trump crime family in the slammer for insider traffic too. Why do *they* get a free pass ?!? Or rather a *very* lucrative pass.

Well, speaking for myself, I've always used Xilinx for my embedded OS related projects, but the choice was actually done by the hardware guys.

Do people actually double-boot ? I tried it in the early 2000 to try Linux out, but once you have your tools setup on one OS, you are reluctant to reboot and break all your workflow. Running the lesser OS in a VM is the way to go and has been for a long time.

I have no idea why slashdot is mangling quotes from iOS. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

With the upswing in supply chain attacks, local only is still a huge deal. In this context, if Iâ(TM)m understanding this correctly, itâ(TM)s not a huge jump to have an isolated, unprivileged package install trigger a root level exploit.

Another thing that pisses me off is the language confusion. I have a system in english, google is configured in english and when I do a search in english all the top replies are in the language of the country I'm in.

Yeah, right.

This has always been the case. The AK47 was famously designed to be built in a barn. Newer technology makes this easier. Just like it makes a lot of other things easier. But it is not required. https://www.motherjones.com/po...

I decided that when they first went required cloud. I don't buy stuff I don't fully own.

They will not stop at guns. They could require all prints to be run against the US patent office database...

So much this. States are already pushing requirements to not print guns. They will not stop at guns... "Our cloud AI has detected you are trying to print something that may infringe on patent number..."

If you cannot prove either A or (non A), then A doesn't exist. Or doesn't matter.

Podcasts have always pissed me off: I can read the same text in 1/3rd the time it takes to listen to the podcast. They are good only when driving. Caveat emptor: my wife listens to hers at 16x the speed but I can't do that.

I havenâ(TM)t swapped distros in a long time. Whats it like? Any useful utilities for making the transition not awful, or do we still just make backups and restore?
