Profiles in Courage - John F. Kennedy

Should have stuck to being a president… maybe it’d land differently now, but in like 9th grade, it was a total slog.

I mean, so is Trump, but some how people are planning on voting for him.

As soon as they shut down the 3ds store I was like “well, it’s open hacking season!” Honestly, it’s pretty cool. Highly recommend.

To be fair I think most people think it (and other countries) should be able to defend itself… it’s just that they went from defense to all out genocide like a year ago.

The current party doesn’t know where that line is while the other party wants them to “finish the job”.

And that’s why you get an on demand unit. In either case, heating water in a jug over and over just so it might be hot hen you need it is not a great idea.

Damn, hash browns sound great right about now.

And as a DevOps engineer, I’m going to be hungry every time I deal with passwords and api keys now.

There’s everything from places like http://www.houstoncomputerrecyclingcenter.co/services.html to https://desktopdisposal.com

Just depends on what services you need. I forgot which one we used at a previous job, but they actually would come out and pick up pallets of severs and desktops, destroy the hard drives and resell them, mostly in bulk.

There are third parties you can contact that will take pallets of old computers and do all the secure cleanup, sorting and selling for you. They can recover cash for you or do the recycling if needed.

Throwing it out there, but https://www.nhc.noaa.gov is hands down the best hurricane tracking site. It’s low Bandwidth, quick, lightweight, legit data backed, and generally the source data for most other weather sites.

That’s actually interesting if true… considering they still have to stream us video, Pay the bandwidth and all but don’t generate any revenue. Makes me almost want to Let the whole ad play but skip it at then last second so it only costs them money.

People who have to use their browser for telehealth and virtual teller banking access.

Sadly these are also things that require better security.

People, in general, don’t care. I don’t necessarily mean that in a bad way, more that they just don’t notice until she show they searched for isn’t available and then they shrug it off and move on to another one they can watch. Most people I know don’t want to keep large catalogs around if things they like because they only watch a single movie a few times in their lives. They watch it and then they’re good for years or more. There’s so much content out there that there’s no way they’re going to rewatch things and there’s no way they’re going to miss it because they’re having enough trouble keeping up with all the new stuff. On top of that, the convenience of just turning on the tube and hitting play vs trying to find the disc, and store and organize it is huge. And ripping it and then keeping a large amount of storage locally, online and healthy for the purpose is out of their technical wheel house. (And budget at times)

Honestly, I’m a big proponent for buying physical media… but I’ve greatly reduced what I rip/buy/keep, just knowing there’s only so much time left on my personal hourglass and I’ve got better things to do than worrying about all that up keep. When I kick the bucket, no one is going to care about it all. Maybe they’ll keep a few interesting ones but they’ll likely just sit on someone else’s shelf. In the mean time, how many times am I really going to watch some of these things?

‘Eh, I’d have to argue that even open firmware devices are a mistake unless they’re really standardized and extremely popular, which aren’t things you can necessarily know when its early in its life cycle.

Open source things either get a cult following, or get that one lone dev that thanklessly keeps it going and then decides to give up and become a sheep farmer… or both.

Came here for this quote. Was not disappointed.

The joint response should be a cease fire.

It’s retaliations all the way down…

Always has been.

It seems pretty clear that he’s past the thinking stage.

On top of Biden not doing anything useful here, Trump and the Republicans would gift them a red carpet while padding their stock portfolios with weapons manufacturers to make money on it.

I hate this timeline. Bibi’s the one needing regime change.

Considering how long Apple has been putting neural cores in all their chips, and the speed at which their in house chips have outpaced competitors (like the M series for example), I feel like not only will Apple beat nvidia at this, Apple will do so by a decent amount.

That said, nvidia will continue to sell world wide in this market as Apple will keep their chips in only their own hardware, so if you’re not running a Mac/IOS device, you’ll be using nvidia chips.

Either way, even if Apple just keeps up, competition is still best for everyone, so I welcome this development.

Should have used more flex seal!
