Given I haven't used Firefox for that long now, do they finally have the ability to select input and output devices for audio?

I use speakers for normal audio, but Teams / Discord etc on a headset only.

Yet the feature request to be able to select audio streams has been around for at least a decade and never implemented... I gave up caring in waiting for an outbreak of common sense - but you wanted to know what 'tech' is missing...

Don't worry - they'll claw back the expense of the free periods by increasing charges outside of these hours...

No such thing as a free lunch...

We've seen what Americans will vote for.

They've proven they don't deserve a say in the matter...

When companies like Rockstar refuse to do basic actions like tick a checkbox to allow linux and steamdeck players to play GTA V online, there's the complete malicious angle as well...

Same. Got two sets - both connected via SPDIF optical. Worked very well for many years now.

I did however replace the LCD on the volume control because it faded beyond readable. Was a whole $20 or so to fix.

Honestly? Your post just screams of "I don't ever want anything to change".

Continue to live in a dumpster if you want, but systemd has been a net positive - but your attitude is exactly why Debian hasn't reached its potential.

systemd won. It's that simple.

This is what the numbers look like:

Sadly, it seems the quality of Fedora is going down the gurgler too.

If they ever finish debian to use a single init system and actually have some consistency, it'd be soooo much nicer to use. I've been saying that the last 5-6 versions though.

That's the problem with debian - there's no central leadership for anything - so it only really seems to get 80% of the way there. If they could just get that extra 20% completed, it'd be a complete, hands-down, no brainer to use for just about everything.

Asimov's Laws of Robotics can't be encoded using any existing technology. So there is no way to stop bad stuff from being generated at this time.

Exactly this.

The fact its even being mentioned is a complete farce.

It's stupid on so many levels that it isn't even funny.

However, while we're distracted, mega-corps continue to rape our environment of the stuff actual humans require to survive.

There are proposals to have 7 day SSL/TLS certs. This is an example of why that could be a major problem. Many Islands are connected by one cable with an old satellite system as backup. Emergency satellite links often don't comply with the local law of the disconnected country or the downlink station.

We're already starting to get deployments of 47kW per rack.

Please factor this into your "120MW data centre".

Except you're just wrong.

By the time you deploy enough solar and wind to charge the batteries *as well as* supply the load while the batteries charge, you're deploying ~6-10x your required load in watts. Add to that the MWh required (remember, power vs capacity), and you'll also need 3-4x the amount of storage as your daily usage - most of the time, that will be idle and unused.

Capacity factor in renewables still isn't anywhere near traditional generation - whatever type you compare it to. Nuclear is normally north of 93%, solar and wind still sits around 25-30% in most deployments.

Try changing your date of birth to todays date. Instaban with no recovery possible.

This reply smells of someone that has never used both.

bcache by itself is rather inefficient. That's why bcachefs was born.

It works soooooooo much better.
