  • California farmers to destroy 420,000 peach trees after Del Monte collapses

    Jump

  • Sadly I realised after moving to the UK that peaches aren't really "in season" here, at any time of the year. Most grocery stores in my area don't seem to carry them at all (even though we have things like strawberries or even watermelon all year round...), so I have to make do with the canned option.

  • Harvest it. Turn it into canned peaches. Finish the harvest. Export it to places where peaches aren't that common. ???. Profit.

  • Tell me, what other market will pick up those gamer oriented motherboards?

  • Motherboard sales are now collapsing amid unprecedented shortages fueled by AI

  • Unlike DRAM, which is quite universal, most manufacturers of motherboards specialise in a specific direction. Asus, MSI, etc., hell, most of the consumer market players, have specialised in gaming oriented motherboards.

    Do you know what a server motherboard doesn't need?

    • 4 different RGB headers
    • various gamer crap baked into the motherboard
    • gamer branding all over the place

    what they need is:

    • specially formatted motherboards with built in IPMI or similar remote management systems
    • dual CPU sockets in most cases
    • tons of PCIe lanes available for interconnect fabric, GPUs, and so on

    the two markets simply don't mesh. Asus losing 25-30% of its market practically overnight because people can't afford to buy RAM, SSD, etc. does not negate the fact they need sales to survive, so what they'll do is drop prices, lowering their profit margin, just so they're not sitting on unsellable stock.

  • It's actually the other way around, prices should go down as mobo sales are low.

  • Meta Sheds Influencer Andrew Tate's Lawsuit Over Instagram Ban

  • I'd argue that there are cases when people's access to a service should be legally upheld.

    Say, you bought an iPhone, Apple Watch, the whole Apple entourage. Then your account gets flagged and blocked for something stupid - and bam, the hardware you just spent a few thousand dollars on is unusable, any apps/services you bought via the Apple account are inaccessible, you lost your notes, contacts, emails, cloud storage, and so on.

    With Google or Samsung it's slightly less problematic as you don't HAVE to use their service accounts to use your hardware. But it is an outstanding issue where these companies have become de facto monopolies in certain market segments and can't be avoided to deal with - and it's up to their whims if you get to use certain services.

    There's been actually a number of instances where this kind of issue landed near me. I'm an android engineer and had TWO previous employers who's got their Play Store accounts suspended because a developer that worked in relation with those accounts 5-7-10 years ago, ended up having their account hacked then promptly suspended once it was used for fraud - and the employer's account was "an associated account" thus it got the suspension too.

    There's very little oversight over the operation of these companies, again, they do as they wish, if a slightly higher-up manager has a personal beef with you, you can find yourself banned from their services, causing financial and professional damage and so on. So no, I disagree, at times, companies do need to be legally forced to provide their services.

    Mind you, the Taint case is not such a time.

  • A lot of stores here in the UK already employ facial recognition if you walk in.

    It stops known shoplifters throughout stores (so if you shoplifted in a Nottingham Tesco's, be prepared to be banned from Sainsbury's in Swansea), but it also tracks your shopping so it's being sold as a convenience feature - you walk up to a till and it already knows what's in your basket and how much you need to pay.

    Oh and while you walk through the stores, you get targeted advettisements that's already connected to your online identity. You looked up symptoms of PCOS? Have fun being blasted with hair removal product ads throughout your shopping.

    It's pretty fucking dystopian, yes. My local corner shop doesn't need to know my shopping habits. It won't sell me more milk or bread. And I won't be buying that new type of chicken nuggies no matter how hard they try to sell it. I'm perfectly happy with what I want to buy, I don't need or want optimised ads.

  • It's the same for all generations.

    Internet checks are easy to take with a simple HTTP+IGMP service. 2G/3G also did a slightly different connectivity check but that can be faked too.

  • It's your fault.

    Jump

  • Except it does work - the base station simply needs to emulate the connectivity check servers. It doesn't even need to do anything fancy, just route all packets to a locally running microserver that responds to ICMP Echo, HTTP and TCP requests and so on.

    Governments already use this approach for blocking out areas (e.g. during protests) while also grabbing mobile phone IDs and other data, via mobile base stations. The exact same could be applied to the ~10 minutes of takeoff and landing time.
