I live in B.C. and applaud losing the time change, but think the choice of time zones going forward wasn't the best.

I'm expecting major buyer's remorse this winter when people realize that the sun sets at 5 in December and January, and doesn't rise until 9.

AI is a metric fuckton of cons and a tiny pinch of pros. Typically we allow bad things to happen if they come with a greater amount of good, not the other way around.

Some scientific studies have found that permanent DST is about 2/3rds as good as permanent standard time:

And others have found that permanent DST is the worst option:

Considering Trump is pushing this it's probably lucky that he's not manually adjusting the time zone to suit how he feels with no warning.

Because unlike software-based solutions, it can successfully hide the information from the user (barring any hardware vulnerabilities). The problem isn't just that hidden information can exist on the system, the problem is that the root user can't access the information. Being able to access the information is what made DRM crackable. Without that, it could be possible to make a DRM system that actually works, which would be the worst invention in the history of computing. If the user can clear it but not see it, that does nothing to make that less viable.

No strawman, it happens almost every time I express concern at the possibility of TPM enabling a working DRM system.

Anyone care to once again reassure me how TPM, a system for hiding information from a computer's user regardless of privilege level, can't be used for DRM again?

No, it means you stop eating at McDonald's.

Its already over priced and its complete shit for you in almost every conceivable way. If your options are Eat McDonald's or die a slow death of starvation ... starvation is still the better choice.

Hint: Find out what kind of government Henry Kissinger considered to be a greater threat than communism.

And you you think this is going to 'make it better' you're really dense.

Anyone doing ram swaps will just flash the old firmware and ship it - it'll boot fine until the purchaser upgrades it to new firmware - and suddenly the firmware update broke it, and who was responsible for that update ... RPF - who intentionally broke a working device so they could somehow claim it was to make the user experience better?

The excuse that this is going to solve problems is either outrageously ignorant and short sighted - or complete bullshit :) You have to be smoking some really good shit to buy this fucked up logic.

I suspect RPF will find themselves on the end of lawsuits regarding bricking devices. Doesn't matter if the devices were fakes or not - accidently breaking a device because its fake and you didn't know better is one thing. Actively detecting and breaking things on purpose is entirely different. Intent matters.

Either way - RPF will be less appealing to even more people who will now just start with an alternative and avoid RPF all together, which is good cause anything that screws Broadcom is good for humanity :)

The irony of you confusing 'cuck' with MAGA when it was in fact invented by the opposite group ...

Raspberry Pi has literally NEVER been about the tinkerer. You like many are confused by the BS they spew about their goals but they have always been about making money. Any thing indicating they were for 'tinkering' was a side effect they hand't figured out how to squelch yet. These guys are not altruistic in any form.

It didnt' affect 'the channels' - it affected cheap knock off sites in the exact same way that literally every product on the planet is affected. There is nothing at all unique to the RaspPi channel other than the raspberry pi, which as the knock off show, isn't unique.

As for your last line - not sure thats worth a response - you get offended at the word cuck - then demonstrate being a cuck for the raspberry pi guys ...

All of this is fine and your choice of course, but the high horse you think you're on is pretty sad looking. The instant you have to lead your comments with a political insult - that you don't even understand the etymology of, you demonstrate you don't have an argument in the first place.

Its mind numbing that you're proud of this and tell us about it, 'look at me, I'm being taken advantage of and used AND I LIKE IT' - talk about a cuck ...

I think that this is really a data center spending ceasefire to delay the bubble popping rather than these companies suddenly growing a sense of responsibility.

Where I live. (North Carolina), any one involved in a conversation is allowed to record the conversation from the moment they entered it until it ends, without any consent required. This is not uncommon as it allows people to protect themselves from others scams/threats/ect.

Anyone who think their conversation is secure and private is sadly mistaken. Its only private as long as all other parties respect you.

Get over this silly notion that you can say things to someone and it leave no evidence beyond a man's word. The time for low grade liars has passed.

Induced demand is plainly a theory with lots of holes. It sees no utility in moving any greater number of people the same distance in the same amount of time, according to induced demand theory that's a complete waste. If induced demand were true, Japan's Wangan should be clogged with traffic instead of empty enough for ultra-high-speed street racing, and China's highways to newly-built empty towns should probably be full of traffic for some reason too.

The best debunking of the idea I've run across comes from a libertarian blog, which is a strong hint that the argument likely has holes, but it appears far more airtight than the idea it's debunking: https://www.cato.org/blog/debu...

Came here to see if any medical experts had any opinions on how snake-oily this sounds. My limited biology education says "extremely."

It means Iran has severely limited the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz. It's a hostage situation. No one is winning, but the objective isn't to win in the sense of completely closing the Strait, the objective is to create a sufficiently long period of pain that eventually the US and its allies walk away. Christ almighty, force multiplication is hardly a new concept.
