A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.

  • Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs

    Jump

  • This is the correct answer. Modern x86 (x64) is a RISC CPU with a decoder that can decode a cisc isa.

  • Meh, I am still not convinced of Virus Scanners, even on windows. A process running with root rights, with parsers for all kinds of complicated file formats, opening freshly downloaded files automatically? Yeah, no.

    Update your shit, don't download shady software, have good default settings in your browser and mail programs. Maybe throw in some MAC like SELinux if supported.

  • What meals do you cook when very low on money?

    Jump

  • Let's say you are teaching a basic, 1-hour-long class to the general public about privacy and general tech hygiene. What kinds of topics would you include?

    Jump

  • Yeah, drilling a hole in there should stop anyone this side of a dedicated lab from reading your data.

  • Why does Intel seem so pessimistic about its future?

    Jump

  • The market for low end SoCs and embedded is highly competitive, with lots of Chinese companies like Allwinner and established niche leaders like Renesas or NXP. No way an outsider is going to beat them on price or features out of the blue.

    Intel only has a chance to stay afloat in the high-ish end sector, whether they like it or not.

    Is there like a cheat code for dating apps?

    1. Do something cool: work on your car, do sports, go to a party, go on a hike...
    2. Have a friend with you and tell them beforehand that you want them to take some pictures of you now and then.
    3. Enjoy your activity with your friend
    4. ???
    5. Profit

  • Have we already passed the tipping point?

    Jump

  • All of history was a shitshow. There was not one century this side of the invention of agriculture where we didn't commit war crimes. Hell, it took us thousands of years to come up with the idea of war crimes, the very idea that killing and enslaving everyone and salting their earth might not be super cool.

    We suck, but it has worked out so far. Humanity is like cockroaches. We'll manage. Badly, suffering, but we'll manage.

  • Once I said to my therapist "I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time", and she said "No, this is like top 5".

  • What even are crystal dommes? Like leather dommes, but kitted out for an 80s party at the disco?

  • Oh come on, that is a pretty flawed argument. "Tell me, how me doing this particular, isolated thing, is directly causing this complicated big thing, otherwise you are wrong".

    But we are not arguing that: We are arguing about, what if I had a magical button that would magically give everyone in the world access to the "decent living standards" and nothing more? Would it be ethical, would you push this button? Even if you are, right now, way above the line?

    And to that I say, yes, if it was possible to do this, I believe it would be the right thing to do. And I believe that anyone arguing we should not press the button, because pushing this button is hurting their lifestyle, is arguing that billions of people deserve to live a much worse life for being in the wrong place so that we can have our lifestyle.

    Of course I do not have such a button. That is not the point.

  • I am amazed by all the people that, when faced with having to give up some of the first-world luxury they are used to, flip completely in their head. It is the opposite of not-in-my-backyard: Don't take from my backyard, pls.

    Yes, I would rather have the current distribution continue, where hundreds of millions are literally starving, where there are people who would kill to live like this, where people are walking through the desert and taking dinghies over oceans for shit like this, just so I can have my amenities.

    Absolutely wild. We're so doomed.

  • No, his argument is that the average human needs this standard. also, it is a model, it is by definition simplified.

    Besides, what is the alternative? First world countries living like they own the place, third world countries starving, and we're all getting killed in the climate war of 2040?

  • They live in a world where 700 million people are currently starving. Do you think you care about the washing machines if your children have nothing to eat?

  • Their idea of decent is a dream for a good chunk of the world population. We're the privileged ones. People kill to live like us.

    Besides bars and clubs, how does a guy put himself around more women?

    Jump

  • Alternatively, at an MMA bar or fight club.

    Only half joking here.

  • Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox?

    Jump

  • And the minority that still uses FF is constantly reminded that Brave is a flaming dumpsterfire that pretends to be not on fire. Sure, FF occasionally did questionable things. Brave does them all the time.

  • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • To be fair, the very same thing happens with Linux, when you install updates but don't restart services (or, god forbid, the whole system). Really weird tiny issues accumulate until I am fed up and hit reboot.

  • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • I think it is more that the update fucks with drivers? As in, updates bring updated stuff that probably interferes with still-running old stuff.

  • Way better explanation than just personal development 👍
