  • What do I actually need?

  • This is some crazy good advice. In the software dev/IT fields I preach about premature optimization to my reports all the time.

    You can't optimize something that doesn't exist. Figure out exactly what you want to build (so you want video streaming mostly it sounds like, then you can figure out how to build it (probably either a NAS or just a tower with a bunch of drives in it. And then Plex/Jellyfin). Then, after you build it, you can use it.

    You'll only find things to fix/make better by actually using it. Focus on getting the thing done, then you can optimize.

  • Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers

    1. IBM still manufactures new mainframe computers and they will actually support your ancient mainframe from 1962 (assuming you're still paying your licensing haha)
    2. the vast majority of Windows 7 and older computers that are still in production are attached to specialized hardware or industrial equipment. Stuff that costs many hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
    3. emulating older OSes doesn't really solve the problem at all because the actual concern is security, not hardware issues.
    4. emulation isn't perfect, especially with passthrough. Especially when you're trying to pass through an ancient connector through a virtual adapter (show me a modern computer with SCSI)

    I could keep going but that's all I have enough care to do right now

  • And a lot of people are actually stuck because the Windows XP/7 machine is attached to industrial equipment that costs an unbelievable amount of money or is just impossible to replace.

  • Windows 8 removed the start button, 8.1 brought back most all of the "legacy" UI features (which still persist today).

  • But this article is talking about people running Windows 7 today, so comparing current actions through a modern lens is entirely valid

    They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?

  • No. It's two things.

    1. Maybe truck drivers should have followed the rules better and drove safer. Drivers cooking their books have caused enormous amounts of harm and death, and that's ignoring the huge loss of money when a driver crashes because they've been driving for 26hrs straight.
    2. Don't fucking damage company property. This is actually my biggest sticking point for this whole thing. I dont care if you like it or not, the hardware is not fucking yours and the hardware being there is part of your employment agreement. Don't like it? Tough shit buddy take it up with the DOT.

  • I'm not going to claim a 100% catch rate, because that's impractical.

    But we absolutely do frequently fire drivers for tampering with their trackers. Theres about 15 layers of checks and balances preventing a driver from disconnecting or otherwise disabling it.

  • Look I can tell you that no company wants to spend enormous amounts of money (we spend close to 7-figures per quarter for asset tracking) and pay an entire team of people to micromanage drivers. Plus companies and drivers make less money because they have to actually follow the rules now.

    ELDs have been around for a really long time. It didn't become standard until 2017.

  • Unions aren't interested in pushing back against the invasive software because they know drivers haven't been following the rules.

    Basically nobody in the industry wants this. It makes it harder to do our jobs, it's more annoying, and it's crazy expensive. But it's what you gotta do when drivers run 2 or 3 log books.

  • don't let them catch you, you WILL lose your job

    Hey director of IT for a trucking company here, i just want to reiterate this part!

    Don't fucking do this. Any of this advice. You WILL lose your job and we WILL blacklist you from the industry for this shit. Maybe if you drivers could actually mange your fucking log books and follow the safety regulations we wouldn't need to have ELDs and camera and GPS and fucking canbus monitoring and annual inspections and all of the other """invasive nonsense""" the government requires.

    I dont want it either. Its all crazy expensive, annoying to manage, and I have to constantly deal with drivers complaining about it.

    Sorry. I'm a little upset with this issue because its a constant issue i have at work. But no there is nothing you can do besides just get another job.

    I just want to reiterate it again. Do NOT mess with the equipment your company has in your truck. At best you'll just get fired but I've seen my company respond with legal measures in the past.

  • GitHub is introducing rate limits for unauthenticated pulls, API calls, and web access

  • This doesn't include any requests from the website itself

  • GitHub is introducing rate limits for unauthenticated pulls, API calls, and web access

    Jump

  • I honestly don't really see the problem here. This seems to mostly be targeting scrapers.

    For unauthenticated users you are limited to public data only and 60 requests per hour, or 30k if you're using Git LFS. And for authenticated users it's 60k/hr.

    What could you possibly be doing besides scraping that would hit those limits?

  • Yeah but for €0.43? Here in the states people tend to think more like "it'll even out" especially among friends.

    I wouldn't ever ask my friends to pay me back $0.50 lol

  • The first "real submarine" (I'm considering a "real sub" to be able to operate self sufficiently) was actually made by an American. David Bushnell in 1776. And the first submarine to directly sink another war ship was also built by cowards Americans (Confederate) during the US Civil War.

  • Nah the Quest 3 (and I'd argue still the 2) is easily the best headset on the market right now.

    Nothing else comes close to the features, quality, and most importantly the price.

    You can hate meta and Facebook and the zucc all you want but they are doing legitimate really really cool things with VR
