  • You got downvoted by the Linux fanboys, but it’s not wrong. Linux has a big issue with approachability… And one of the biggest reasons is that average Windows users think you need to be some sort of 1337 hackerman to even boot it, because it still relies on the terminal.

    For those who know it, it’s easier. But for those who don’t, it feels like needing to learn hieroglyphs just to boot your programs. If Linux truly wants to become the default OS, it needs to be approachable to the average user. And the average user doesn’t even know how to access their email if the Chrome desktop icon moves.

    No offense, but your post reads like a military dudebro’s war story. Introduce initialisms the first time, please. I knew a few of them through context clues, but not everyone will.

  • He explained that IRQ suspension enhances network performance, while maintaining low latency during low-traffic conditions. It accomplishes this by reducing unnecessary CPU interruptions during high-traffic periods.

    Maybe that makes more sense? The original was definitely a run-on sentence, and needed some punctuation.

  • Donald Trump questions why US protects Japan

    Jump

  • Also worth noting that Japan’s constitution specifically prevents them from having a standing army. They’re only allowed a small “self-defense force” to protect their own borders in the event of an attack. It was one of the key concessions that Japan made in the wake of World War II. The world saw how Germany had invaded twice, and didn’t want that to happen with Japan in a few years. And one of the largest reasons Japan was willing to go along with it is because the US had promised to help them rebuild, and offered to protect them with their own military if they were ever invaded.

    Pulling out could have massively detrimental effects to Japan’s neighbors, especially considering the fact that far-right support has been on the rise in Japan too. Japan has always been a conservative country, but in recent years there has been a big slide towards nationalism and xenophobia. If the US military pulls out, then Japan will want to fill the void with their own military. And this would be happening right as the country is sliding towards neo-nationalism. Those two things combined are a dangerous combination.

    The US military bases aren’t super popular in Japan. Especially since there have historically been some high-profile cases of military dudebros causing trouble off base, and then running back to base to avoid being punished by Japanese authorities. Even when the military takes action against the person in question, Japan tends to see it as the military protecting their service members because Japanese judicial punishments tend to be much more severe than American punishments. So many Japanese people would likely take a “good riddance, we can do it better ourselves” stance.

  • Ding ding ding. This is just a talking point so they’ll be able to pivot into “we should give Musk a trillion dollar contract to run GPS on his Starlink satellites.” Hammer the “GPS is unreliable” point long enough that the conservative voters have time to start believing it. Then pivot into handing more money to Musk. It’s a typical advertising strategy; Create a problem so you can sell the solution.

  • [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company

    Jump

  • You actually can’t sell third-party printers legally, because all printers will include an ink fingerprint which can be traced back to that specific printer. So if someone prints a ransom note or counterfeits cash with it, the FBI will be knocking on their door by the end of the day.

    There’s literally a certification process to be allowed to sell printers, and one of the biggest criteria for that certification is agreeing to maintain that fingerprint database. One of the other big criteria is that the printer needs to be able to recognize and refuse to print images of cash, to prevent counterfeiting. If you try to print an image of a dollar bill, the printer’s firmware will refuse to continue the print job. The issue is that this certification process also ensures there’s a de facto near duopoly on printers, which leads to BS like HP making it increasingly difficult to use affordable ink. They can be blatantly anti-consumer, because they’re protected from any competition.

    There’s a reason HP hasn’t already been priced out by some cheap Chinese competitor who is able to undercut the competition. And it’s not because of the difficulty in manufacturing or the price of components. It’s because no other companies are allowed to sell printers.

  • Why yes, I would in fact like to write a file bigger than 4GB in 2025. Com'on flash drive manufacturers, get your shit together and format in exFAT already -_-

  • Yeah, I use a lot of legacy gear for work. They type of shit that is running Windows 98 embedded. Fat32 will never die as long as legacy support is a thing. If I plug an exFAT drive into one of those machines, it won’t even recognize the drive.

  • What hyped thing did you fall for that you now regret and have to live with?

    Jump

  • It had some great exclusives when they were still exclusive. God of War, Spider-Man, Persona 5, Horizon, etc… Nowadays all of those are on other systems. But originally, you had to play them on PS4. The console had a wonderful library at the time, even if that has been eroded over time by the former exclusives landing on other platforms.

  • The funny part is that there’s very little reason to actually buy a barrel of lube. In porn, they just mix their own lube using distilled water (available cheaply from virtually any grocery or hardware store) and a dissolvable powder. There’s not a good reason to ship wet lube in bulk, because freight shipping is calculated by weight and you’re essentially just paying to ship water. The added benefit is that the porn makers can mix the lube to be a thinner or thicker consistency, depending on their specific needs.

    For the curious, look up J-lube, X-lube, K-lube, or Fist Lubricant Powder. And yes, all of the above are available for purchase on Amazon.

    And to drive the point home that you’re just paying for freight shipping… J-lube powder is currently $26.77 for 10oz, which makes 10 liters of lube when mixed per the manufacturer’s recommended dosage. So $26.77 for 10 liters, plus probably $3 for the distilled water you need to mix it with. Let’s round up to an even $30 in total. The barrel is currently $1775.32 for 7080fl.oz, or ~209.4 liters. So the barrel is ~$8.47 per liter, while the dry powder mix is ~$3.00 per liter. The barrel is almost 3x as much per liter as the dry powder.

  • Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype

    Jump

  • Where I live, everyone used AOL Instant Messenger, or AIM for short. It was popular with teens because it offered chat rooms, but that meant it was also a popular hunting ground for predators. Nearly every terminally online teen from the late 90’s and early 2000’s has a story about getting groomed on AIM, by someone they initially thought was their own age.

    Then Google Chat and Facebook Messenger came along, (and AOL’s subscriber count began to dwindle as people moved to broadband internet) and it was almost completely dead by 2010.

  • I once had a problem that wasn’t caused by caching. It was caused by Accounts Payable forgetting to pay the internet bill, and the ISP cutting our service halfway through a network test. So the beginning of the test cached that the network had internet access, but then the end of the- wait fuck it was caused by caching

  • I have the same argument about TNG killing off Tasha. It was just a sort of “oop, well I guess she’s dead now” moment.

    I’m sure it was at least partially intended to drive the point home that nobody is safe. Because if we saw some random redshirt (technically a yellow shirt in TNG, but whatever…) we’d know they’re marked for death. But it just felt… Incomplete? Like the whole bridge crew just sort of shrugged and moved on, and she was only referenced a few times after that.

  • Drag racing is a form of race where competitors line up at a starting line and compete to be the first across the finish line. It’s unique in that most races begin with the cars already moving, and typically involve longer races, multiple laps, cornering, etc… In contrast, drag racing is on a straight quarter mile track, which means it is a competition focused almost entirely on acceleration and top speed.

    To make a track and field comparison, drag racing is like the 100 meter sprint of car races. No measure of endurance, just get from A to B as fast as possible.

    Even if you don’t recognize the name for drag racing, you almost certainly recognize the distinctive car design with the large rear tires, long pointed nose, and giant aerofoils to keep the car on the track:

    Virtually every professional drag race is over in just a few seconds.

  • Folks from metric countries, how does Dominic Toretto live his life? What distance at a time?

    Jump

  • It’s a drag racing reference. Drag strips are traditionally a quarter mile long, and there are over 50 supercars that have made it in less than 10 seconds. Considering the fact that the Fast and the Furious series is all about racing and cars, it’s clearly a drag racing reference.

    One of the big issues with localization is that it tends to destroy references like this. If you change the distance into another unit (like kilometers) you also destroy the drag racing reference.
