So far the biggest achievement in quantum computing seems to either be making a super random number reasonably quickly, or figuring out what quantum computers might be good for some day. So breaking encryption seems like a big leap.

Yeah, I mostly deal in m3 screws for my projects which, I know from experience, do get caught in type-A plugs.

Wow, great work!

Due my own personal bad habits, I fear I wouldn’t see 12 years out of most of those because of the lack of caps. A lot of random stuff ends up in my pocket when I’m doing projects. Screws and other things that will not have happy fun times with bare type A pins.

Sigterm: “End this process or next time I bring my -9”

My company did (via dell) for employee workstations. Microsoft puts you though a site audit if you have anything they ever made. And if you have some products you also end up paying prices for things they didn’t make. “You have network connect phones on the same vlan as a windows server? Here’s a license for each phone, that’ll be $8000 please. Now lets talk about all your printers…”

It’s useful if your mental health issues are caused by Microsoft. For example, if I ever have to go through another license audit, I may have a psychotic break.

There’s not really a threat in geostationary orbits. It’s a much bigger area with far fewer satellites.

Most made by large corps. For example, Apple got in some hot water not too long ago for changing the way they track in Apple Mail.

Servers track sent, delivered, bounced, and blocked.
Clients phone home with opened, read, CTR, and junk status.

I never stopped. I went from feeds in Netscape Navigator to Google Reader to Feedly and now I self-host Miniflux.

I turned that off so many years ago I forgot it exists.

Firefox (for now) and Kagi

Aww, that’s the last version of windows I ever owned.

Always take protection to a swingers party.

Linux swinger parties: On the way in you drop a thumb drive loaded with a distro installer in a fishbowl, then spend 30 minutes drinking energy drinks and dunking on MS, then grab a random thumb drive on your way out. That’s your new daily driver.

At least your Hyundai had a working rearview mirror so you had another way to see behind you.

Yeah, though I don’t know if it graduated beta, because I don’t use windows 11.

If they just wanted telemetry they’d just “enhance it” they way they did with the monstrosity that is new Paint or AI assisted notepad.

Now that it’s a thing, UMG is going to find that corner and start shaking people down for performance royalties.

Glad I’m not the only one pessimating that.
