The studios are also arguing that some items in games like cars are only licensed for a certain time frame. That is a problem the execs in the game companies created. They created this problem, they can fix it!

Games didn't use to be like this. The license for items like cars was for the entire time you could play the game, which when the publisher stopped publishing it, the people who bought it could still use it with those licensed items. They weren't removed later from the game.

3 things:

1. no having to manage swap space
2. standard file format for storing preferences for user and system applications, except for very low level command line commands. That's why the unix directories exist still like /etc.
3. storage of file/dir owners and file/dir permissions

2 allows you to export and save settings for every application. This makes backup and restore easy.
3 allows the OS to repair itself in case file/dir owners and/or file/dir permissions do not match what is expected.

From the article on why they're able to use the batteries after just 10 years:

But since you asked, this shows batteries in EV's driven by consumers last 15-20 years: https://www.evconnect.com/blog...

you're right, thank you.

wouldn't the logs in dovecot shown what port and if ssl/tls was being used for pop3 connections?

Not a nothingburger. Propagation may take a while for normal configuration changes, but a revoked key is not a normal configuration change and absolutely requires a different approach so that it doesn't take more than seconds to show up.

If, for example, Twitter pre-Musk can show a new tweet to a follower within seconds of it being posted, Google can implement a key revokation propagation protocol that's just as fast. Twitter was transmitting millions of messages every hour, the # of key revokations is probably in the hundreds at most.

The tweet may have shown up to you instantly because you were on the server that sent it, but it didn't for others. There is always a delay with distributed systems.

Perhaps you can suggest a more efficient means to do this.

Browning food (baking, frying, deep frying) makes them taste better, but it forms acrylamides, which are cancer causing. Likewise many food products from before the 80's were made with transfat/saturated fats, not vegetable fats, which means if you consumed a lof of that before it was phased out (which phased out their long shelf lives too) you likely consumed a lot of carcinogens.

This has been shown to be false: https://www.wcrf.org/research-...

Eric Duell’s research did not provide convincing support for the hypothesis that higher acrylamide exposure is associated with higher risks for endometrial and ovarian cancers, but more research is needed

According to the NYT, employees have been asked to work remotely that day and emails about the layoffs would be sent at 4 a.m. local time. Employees in the United States will receive 16 weeks of severance pay, along with two extra weeks for every year they worked at Meta.

Facebook changed to become Meta in 2021. Does this mean the most number of extra weeks employees can get is 10 weeks?

Shouldn't it be separate lists based on the type of programming language it is for? C/C++/Rust all compile, while languages like SQL/Python/PHP are only scripting based languages.

DisplayPort has supported hdcp since version 1.1: https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us...

Consumers are choosing the steam deck because it feels like a console. They're not choosing it because it runs linux.

Right to repair is not about requiring companies to make electronic devices easier to repair. But it shouldn't allow companies to make an electronic device harder or more expensive to repair.

Such as Samsung gluing the battery to the display so the cost of replacing the battery is not economically viable, since now you pay for both the battery and the screen when the screen was already working, and you just needed the battery to be replaced.

Digital locks should also not be allowed since they're only there to prevent third party repair technicians from easily replacing the part that needs replacing.

Schematics or die.

Strange, this shows the US is number 2, right behind China in CO2 Emissions: https://www.worldometers.info/...

If it's not from apple, it can't run mac os. Unless you create a hackintosh. But that's not for the ordinary user.

When will sql databases support 128-bit int column type? The most right now is 64-bit int, which allows ipv4. You convert the ipv4 ip address to an int, and then can use the between feature in sql to search.
