Firefox does not competely freeze for me but it does very frequently start to get laggy and consume 100% CPU. Even with just a couple of tabs. I have to restart Firefox pretty much every day. I've gone into the CPU profiler and it seems to be something in the glib event loop that is spinning. I'm also wondering if the Wayland back end is part of it.

Absolutely not. In fact before you even get to flying larger aircraft you're certified to fly smaller ones without even considering that multiple different certifications are done in parallel since pilots do not always fly just one aircraft. It's not many, but it's usually more than one.

Bunker fuel isn't a fuel. It's a name for a different set of fuels that ships use. Among those is Heavy Fuel Oil (which is effectively banned now), Marine Fuel Oil (what you are talking about, a low sulphur and slightly lighter variant of HFO), and ... Marine Diesel Oil (actual diesel which all container ships need to run on when they get close to port because you haven't been allowed to burn HFO or MFO anywhere near populated areas for a long time now.

And while it certainly used to be sludge that is left over, these days there are increasingly tighter restrictions on what MFO can contain, and it is very much starting to look more and more like diesel in composition (the last decade or so many refineries have focused on equipment upgrades precisely because they would no longer be able to sell their sludge to the shipping industry).

It's not incorrect to call these ships diesel powered. In fact for some of their journey the only difference between what they put in their engines and what you put in yours is the colour (colour denoting that the fuel was exempt from local taxes and may only be used for marine purposes)

Well I butchered that sentence.

Not just that the masts are fully hydraulically operated, the masts are tiltable to 70 degree angle so that the ship too so that the ship which normally stands 90m tall can get under bridges or other infrastructure with only 42m height.

When the masts are tilted it looks WEIRD. https://www.neoline.eu/en/why-...

You make it seem like we were able to do this easily before rather than acknowledging the engineering feat this is. Here's some comparison for you:

The Neoliner Origin is the longest cargo sail ship ever made, 20m longer than the France II, it has a taller main mast *which is retractable so it can maneuverer under bridges*, and has 25% more cargo capacity than the France II as well. There's a lot of engineering involved in getting something that big to move around flexibly, especially when it comes to compatibility with modern harbours.

That's where the good news ends. Despite everything this ship has a pittance of the capacity of modern cargo ships. It turns out that heavy things take a lot of energy to move through water which is fine when you have little more than 50 drunken scurvy infected sailors and some spices to haul, but not so much when you're shipping 9000 cars to another country.

It sounds like they have employees on premises who they aren't paying to be there despite the employees being unable to work due to their own incompetence. The method of login really is secondary to this story. Fun fact a few years ago I used to arrive at the office at 9:15 but got paid from 9:00. Yes legally they were required to pay us the time it took to walk from the parking lot all the way into the control room. But then we have worker protection laws in my country.

Weird. I seem to have no problem with my Windows machine at home. Rock solid, boots up quickly. My work machine on the other ran runs like a molasses on a cold day. Interestingly so does my colleague's work MacBook. 99% of the problems with Windows are either not spending more than $200 on your hardware or letting corporate IT get anywhere near it.

You think Microsoft's telemetry is bad? Just wait and see how fucking slow things get when your IT starts cramming their own spyware (and Teams) down your throat. Using an alternative doesn't save you from that.

Oh aren't you clever. No Windows boots in seconds. Their problem was tokens, VPN access, corporate software for call management, and likely a PC loaded down with corporate spyware slowing the entire thing down. Any other system won't help at all against this kind of rubbish.

But hey, MS bashing have a +5 informative.

I can't say that I'm entirely surprised, given what else they've been getting up to; but it seems downright crazy to just unleash a slop engine without even giving your volunteers a heads up; then patronizingly ask if you can perhaps arrange a meeting to understand their concerns.

If your options are 'nothing' and 'hire bilingual tech writer' you can see the attraction of having a not very good but extremely cheap option; but just tossing away the expertise you already get for nothing out of some sort of weird technophilia? Is there actually some nutjob out there who was all "Oh, but machine translation makes my CI pipeline so efficient" or something?

They don't have to actually secure anything, though. All they have to do is stand around and look intimidating. And maybe arrest the occasional voter and demand proof of citizenship. Make you feel like a criminal when you dare to vote. These deployments are not about security. They are about reminding people who's in charge and discouraging voting among certain demographics.

Meanwhile I feel really bad for the national guard troops. Many of them know they are being deployed dishonestly. They are being taken away from their jobs and their families half way across the country to do nothing of any real value to the country. I've read the morale of deployed members in the DC area is very low.

I'll never stop being amazed how often you demonstrate your cluelessness by commenting about something in a way demonstrating that you don't even know what the device does.

Matter devices are able to be setup completely isolated on your network without external connection.

Please get a clue, or does that Viol8 your principles?

This is confusing to me. Why would a matter device *require* the cloud? Did you mean matter devices may or may not support the cloud? The whole point of matter was that it was open and universal so it stands to reason that the cloud part is optional.

You're assuming they are doing this to sort out bugs rather than just dealing with the delay caused by their union busting tactics that involved firing a shitton of their staff recently.
