95b… A and C were pretty bad. Different dev team.
98 SE wasn’t bad either.
And XPSP2 Lite is still really nice; community project that stripped out all the stuff not explicitly “operating system” so you could choose on your own what software to run on top of it.
I still run Lite in a VM on my M-series Mac. It runs all Windows software that isn’t locked down to Win10+ DRM.
All my hardware supports IPv6; my router and modem support IPv6; my ISP supports IPv6.
And yet… I can’t use IPv6 because my ISP won’t turn it on if your modem is in bridge mode; they want to control the entire stack before they’ll let me use it. They only route it from their own hardware.
Newsweek noted that the Bible passage was a condemnation of Philistines and the Cherethites, historic enemies of the Israelites, dating to the fifth century BC. Ezekiel, the Old Testament book in which it appears, focuses on a demonstrative prophet of the same name who engages in street theater to attract the attention of crowds to deliver his message.
Er, it wasn’t a condemnation of the people groups; it was a condemnation of those who practiced child sacrifice, took bribes, and exploited orphans and widows. It just happened to tie this to the governments of the Philistines and Cherethites, who were known for doing these things.
It’s the same with flats being ♭ and not b. Mostly an engraving choice.
Exactly. Look at the full title of the King of England (who is also the king of each commonwealth nation AND the head of the Church of England)
That already started last winter.
A question can be both not stupid and not appropriate.
Trust me… it’s getting better, but it can’t do the non-boring stuff in a way that’s ISO compliant. Yet.
I work with a lot of productive software developers. They all write code. They also leverage AI to do all the boring stuff.
To be fair, the FSF is partially incorrect; a government can indeed craft their copyright laws such that OnlyOffice’s license restrictions are valid. However, to my knowledge, no government has done so to date, so the FSF is correct in practice; the extra restrictions in the repository violate international copyright laws.
In music, # denotes a sharp key or note and b denotes a flat key or note — this is Italian notation.
Traditionally in English, the # symbol was called the hash, because it looked like the end of a cooking implement used to hash vegetables (nowadays everyone would say mash instead).
In US typewriters, there was no £ symbol, so # was used to denote british pounds instead.
When the telephone button pad was created, there was room for two more symbols and tones, so the creators took the asterisk and hash from the typewriter and added them as extra signals.
When Twitter needed a way to denote a tagged word in a tweet, they decided to use the hash symbol.
“That’s it! I’m not shopping at SuperStore anymore because they artificially inflate their prices! I’ll shop at Safeway… oh wait, they’re doing it too. I’ll shop at… IGA? For twice the price? Hmm… Walmart, for the same price but half the nutritional content?”
Yeah; until there’s actual penalties that could make the business unviable if they continue to violate the rules, things are unlikely to change.
I have an array of 8TB hard drives, and cycling 1TB drives that are rotated through a safe deposit box.
These use a file system that has built in encryption and integrity protection, as well as rollback functionality.
That means that I know immediately if some data has changed unintentionally, and can compare the file hashes (MD5, SHA1, SHA256 or all of the above) across devices to see if the files match. Since I always have at least 3 copies, if someone modified one of them, I’d know which one changed.
8TB is around 4.4 billion pages of typed text.
Assuming each hardback contains 10,000 pages (just to be generous), that’s 440,000 hardbacks stored in triplicate, fully and (relatively) instantly searchable.
Also, they’re pretty useless when they filter out beneficial minerals but miss the thing you didn’t know about that’ll kill you.
That well water got tested on a regular basis. It didn’t include PFAS because nobody tested for PFAS back then.
However, most filters today don’t filter PFAS. A good reverse osmosis filter will, or distillation. Problem with distillation is that it filters out all the good stuff too, so then you have to fortify your water.
Yup
That’s what makes it interesting 🤔
Or… the agent hallucinates that it has a valid license.
Really? There’s something appealing to me about decoupling my cellular modem from my phone; I used an iPod Touch instead of a smartphone for years (with Wifi and VoIP).
At this point I have zero interest in a dedicated audio player.
And if I wanted one… my watch holds more MP3s than the original iPod did. I can just play music from my watch.
Or my graphing calculator.
Or, for that matter, my over the ear headphones which have a microSD slot.
That’s a bit tricky right now actually; Rosetta 2 is being removed from the next OS, which kills all WINE/Proton support.
Things are still a bit up in the air about the future of Intel emulation on macOS.
Meanwhile, QEMU/UTM will continue to work just fine, and you can spin up a different Lite instance for each software configuration you want to compartmentalize.
