Lack of sales IIRC. They’re very neat but kind of niche because of their non-standard layout, they were aiming to be a keyboard/mouse replacement instead of “just another controller”. Extremely customizable control schemes too.

Would absolutely love a 2.0 one based off the Steam Deck or something.

He bought co-founder status at Paypal too IIRC. He was ousted in part because he wanted to rename it “x.com”. Weird that.

FWIW the (not Loss) comic is from the age of Michael Jackson, not the roaring 20s.

Yeah, no. It was (/is? damn, dude’s still going. Good for him.) a comedy/commentary comic mostly about gaming and basically interactions that wouldn’t be out of place in a Clarks movie. This was a standalone just a week or so before Loss.

Que super serious miscarriage storyline for “art” reasons.

What are you talking about?

This is not about streaming to a laptop or Internet access. This is about a long range, low power, low bandwidth network using 2.4GHz. It’s using 2.4GHz, like everyone else likes to, because it’s the “free” signal band that you don’t have to pay to license. It’s for sending the message “Sprinkler head 1039A is leaking” from a solar panel powered transmitter without having to run a data cable or network repeaters.

It’s competition for Zigbee/Z-Wave/Matter. Not the herald of the ISP crackdown Armageddon.

It’s definitely exploded but content farms were a problem even before 2022. There’s a reason google results starting with “reddit” / “stack overflow” were trending so hard.

Even with amazing documentation, it can be hard to find the thing you’re looking for if you don’t know the right phrasing or terminology yet. It’s easily the most usable thing I’ve seen come out of “AI”, which makes sense. Using a Language Model to parse language is a very literal application.

Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

For a job that requires a lot of reminding people “that’s not your laptop, that’s the companies’ laptop”, a lot of people get awful invested in “their servers”. Just let it go.

I know their business decision, however misguided, was very personal. Prove their mistake, which they will never know or care about, by moving on to the next job. Not by trying to be the sub-villain in a B-movie.

That feels like a very… hopeful interpretation. Instead of “In my expert opinion there is no non-malicious use of this component, and SysadminX was the only one with possible access.”

Intent is not always necessary, it depends on the charges.

Computer Forensics isn’t a new discipline at this point. People have literally gone to jail for putting in kill switches. It’s possible SysadminX is actually smarter than teams of people that are dissecting what happened after they were fired and is a real life Keyser Soze, but it’s extremely unlikely.

The Judge and Jury don’t have to know how a kill switch works. The Judge and Jury have to believe the expert testimony that one was placed and caused damage.

Sam Bankman Freed didn’t get jail time because the judge and jury understood the nuances of cryptocurrency and financial scams.

The second one.

Mirroring is good for speed, but a storage mechanism with parity checks will always be more recoverable. And you will have far more storage available.

For that they’re waiting on the paperwork to go through with Apple.

Half of windows settings is a button that says “additional settings” that opens up the full settings window that hasn’t changed since Win95. It’s absolutely insane that in a decade they haven’t managed to even replicate full functionality.

Yes, a return to the unstructured hellscape glory of unranked comments of yesteryear. Every thread starting with a resounding “First!!1!!”. Relevant or interesting things hidden on page 5 of 31. Spam lurking around every corner, as a treat.

In the US a few decades ago the big rail companies were given the ultimatum to upgrade their safety infrastructure or have a national speed limit of 79 mph imposed on them.

Guess which they did?

Disney is also actively arguing in court that if you use the free trial you can’t sue them for anything. Ever.

Even if years later you die in one of Disney’s hotels because one of Disney’s restaurants didn’t care about your allergy.

So there’s that to worry about now.

Cloudflare’s counterclaim system didn’t open a ticket when the notification email was replied to.

That’s the kind of nonsense you expect from a local municipality hosting solution. Not one of the biggest on the Internet.

It is, but this isn’t. The DMCA doesn’t mention Trademark. That’s a separate section of law because copyright and trademark are different things.

Crowdstrike submitting a DMCA takedown for alleged Trademark infringement isn’t how it’s supposed to work at all. Likely because they know this isn’t actually a Trademark infringement case.

Cloudflare’s automated system not being smart enough to see that is fine. Their abuse/counterclaim process being broken isn’t. ( Not that that’s new or unique )
