41·4 days agoThen what you bought is not a mouse, it’s a proprietary peripheral that emulates a mouse when you install its propretary drivers.
Back in the 00’s we had to fiddle with ifconfig and friggin’ /etc/network by hand. Things have gotten a lot better.
I was just thinking that I’ve never had any problems with either WiFi or Ethernet connectivity since NetworkManager became a standard part of modern distros. Before that I was having to install windows drivers with ndiswrapper and configure interfaces manually in
ifupandifdownscripts, and I haven’t had to do that for at least 15 years now.
154·5 days agoI hate to be the one to break it to you, but railing against “forced diversity” is just a dog-whistle for rejecting actual diversity.
Normal people don’t actually care about it. If something is shit because it’s badly written with bad character design then we say “it’s shit because it’s badly written and has bad character design,” not “it’s bad because it has women and minorities.”
27·6 days agoYou clicked the tree somewhere and it would tell you either to try again, or you would win something. I think most people who won got $5 and a monkey plush toy. I’m not sure anyone ever won the jackpot. You could just click over and over again trying to remember where you had previously clicked, like a treasure hunt. Meanwhile they’re showing banner ads on the page.
It worked using the

Does anyone remember the TreeLoot.com MoneyTree? It existed from 1998-2004 and looked like this:
I’m all in favor of going back to the old internet, but… not this.
38·7 days agoPlease down your use of “up” as a verb. It ups my blood pressure and downs my tolerance of reading newspaper headlines.
Isn’t it the Cloudflare bot detection page that says “Just a moment” (… while we check that you’re human)?
It’s probably because lemmy servers are constantly loading a bunch of websites to generate previews and Cloudflare decides that those clients look like bots.
13·7 days agoI read the source code and this is a hobby-project that you could write in an afternoon with no knowledge of cryptographic protocols.
There are dozens of obvious deficiencies even to me and I am no expert in cryptography. An easy example to point out is that there is no input validation and no error checking or exception handling. Both the client and server just assume that the other side is a well-behaving correct implementation.
The author should not be posting this around as if it’s a serious tool for people to use. If anything it’s a starting point for OP to get advice from experts on how real systems do this properly. I’d recommend that the author spends a LOT of time reading before doing. There are numerous design documents of real systems and protocols, and some good comprehensive books too.
6·8 days agoIntel’s assets are worth more than Intel’s market cap. That’s how badly they’re doing in the stockmarket, and also shows you how market cap is a fairly irrelevant indicator of a company’s value.
16·8 days agoSorry, there’s no way Qualcomm is buying Intel as is
At the end of its third quarter of its fiscal 2024, […] Qualcomm had $7.8 billion in cash and […] just over $23 billion in total assets. That means Qualcomm, […] is almost certainly looking at a stock-for-stock transaction. As of writing, Qualcomm’s market cap is $188 billion, just more than double that of Intel’s at $93 billion.
In fact, Chipzilla may not be worth much to Qualcomm unless it can renegotiate the x86/x86-64 cross-licensing patent agreement between Intel and AMD, which dates back to 2009. That agreement is terminated if a change in control happens at either Intel or AMD.
While a number of the patents expired in 2021, it’s our understanding that agreement is still in force and Qualcomm would be subject to change of control rules. In other words, Qualcomm wouldn’t be able to produce Intel-designed x86-64 chips unless AMD gave the green light.
402·8 days agois there any ARM chipset out there that can deliver performance on par with the Steam Deck’s CPU
Yes, but they’re made by Apple.
You’re just kink-shaming sex toys now.
The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.
spinning around Earth in a horseshoe shape for about two months
what? what kind of orbit is that?
Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)
Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:
