As it happens, the ABC is already available on DAB+, so in some ways it’s a step backwards 😇

Buildapc@lemmy.world•Prebuilt pc restartes when experiencing network issue
1·2 days agoYes and no.
It’s not power by itself, because other appliances would be affected.
The common denominator is the network.
There may well be an interaction between the power and the network, but I’m suspecting earth issues, rather than voltage ones, because networking is essentially low voltage and adding power voltages would cause more permanent damage than a reboot or temporary outage.
A network should also be physically separated from power.
I’m suspecting that a network cable is damaged and is in close proximity to a power cable, which may well be also damaged, perhaps by the same event.
It might also not be in or near the house, but out on the street.

Amateur Radio•Is Baofeng flagrantly lying to the FCC and endangering users? A deep dive
2·9 days agoThat’s very interesting.
A little while ago we tested a bunch of radios for their spurious emissions. Until this post I was unaware that these radios were not tested by the FCC and that it appears that this is also true for other amateur transceivers.
For your information, here’s our report: https://github.com/vk6flab/rhp

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Samsung smart fridges have started displaying ads
7·9 days agoI’m guessing that if you set your DNS to AdGuard a lot of this nonsense would go away.
Another alternative is to remove the internet access from your fridge.
More likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.
On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].
In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]
This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.
The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.
Source: I’ve been using Linux on MacOS guests for a very long time.
It’s dinner time and why haven’t you fed me yet?
I’m clearly starving, why haven’t you fed me yet?
I’m not kidding around, why haven’t you fed me yet?
Nothing says “I don’t care about my data.” more than the examples in the screenshot.
What happens when two different files in different directions have the same name?
I suspect that there are other things going on there, speeds for this technology are generally fine, but you do need to figure out which sockets to use, since the best performance is when everything is on the same circuit.
Disclaimer: I’ve used this, installed it a couple of times and troubleshooting aside, it’s worked for me.

I wonder … will it be another case of “Too Big To Fail” … or will it be … “Let The Market Decide”?
I’m guessing the answer depends on how many medals the CEO of Oracle can bestow upon the Orange.
Me … cynical … no … just been here for a while.
