I have a waist-high CD rack with music and games that’s collecting dust for 15 years. If I finally throw it away, and someone picks it up from a garbage bin, will I become a pirate too?

Google was already doing that for years. Most of Firefox users use it because it’s leaner than Chrome and supports adblockers. None of these advantages will suddenly disappear, but Chrome will inevitably become worse all by itself, and more users will migrate away from it to Firefox.

So Firefox strategy should be to simply not screw up by adding unnecessary stuff like AI.

The obvious choice is 8-------------------------------------------------------------D.com

Unfortunately D will become d in a browser URL field.

In my country they are, as long as they passed a certification.

Plasma, with the taskbar on the side, and 15 virtual desktops.

Nope. The server receives UDP packet from WiFi and sends reply over Ethernet, which simply gets lost in your router. From the Linux side there’s no error, it sent the packet somewhere, and what happens next is your router’s problem.

It’s perfectly possible on Linux to have several network adapters with the same IP address, or several default routes.

Most server applications will listen to 0.0.0.0 address, which means all network interfaces. Any incoming TCP connection will remember it’s network interface, and the server will send responses to the same interface.

This will not work for UDP connections, and for outgoing TCP connections - they will always choose the network interface with the lowest metric, which you can print with ip r command.

Fast food is already as automated as it can be. Replacing cooks with robot kitchen is looks good as a management dream, but anyone who tried it quickly discovers that you need industrial robots, and they are fuckng expensive, and you need engineers anyway to maintain them. So you are replacing cheap cooks with outrageously expensive engineers.

“But no”, some ignorant CEO says, “we’re not assembling cars, we don’t need pneumatic robot arm that can lift 10 tons”. Yeah, you still need a robot arm, and it’s just a miniaturized industrial robot, not any much cheaper.

But robot kitchen exist, and they are actually very profitable. Go to your nearest grocery shop. 99% of items on the shelves were produced by a robot. Everything in a plastic wrap, everything in a jar, was produced on a conveyor. Even fresh produce involves some kind of automation.

So robots won’t fry your potatoes, because french fries have really short shelf life. Otherwise they totally could, but hiring a cook is cheaper.

With Meta it very much looks like overhiring. What are those 8000 workers even doing, designing CSS for each individual ad on Facebook?

Samsung pretty much controls Android market, Google is afraid to fart sideways in their presence.

“Eh, they can recover from yesterday,” he said, referring to daily database backups.

But did they recover from backups? Don’t leave the most juicy intrigue out of the story.

Try saying Tibet on a bus stop, and watch your ass getting hauled to the nearest police station in like 30 seconds.

It comes with a copy of Internet Explorer, and a copy of MS-DOS.

I’m not falling asleep, my laptop is falling asleep.

The problem is that it never wakes up. The solution is to disable every low-power option in system settings, and pretend that my laptop is very critical server, because Debian is made for servers.

I grieved when I bought a used laptop with Windows pre-installed. I immediately performed a ritual of Debian purification.

Windows, or any other corporate MICROS~1 product dying is a cause for celebration.

Wow cool, gonna try it.

Discomfort with new modem technology shapes frustration as no modern terminal application has ZModem support.

Pascal. Specifically, Borland Pascal for DOS.
