Yup, but once you do that, it’ll run Linux just fine.

I actually audibly laughed when Raspberry Pi came out with an 8GB version because for anyone who thinks 4GB isn’t enough probably won’t be happy with 8 either.

Steam funding a Linux-based gaming OS became inevitable as soon as Microsoft started selling games in the Microsoft store. The message was clear from that point: If you stay stuck to a single OS, they can always shut you down whenever they feel like it.

Or as I’ve recently started calling it, Linux + Linux.

Blowing smoke directly into your friend’s sensor to ge them in trouble.

Or ya know, vaping in the hall where you don’t have your own personal sensor and you’ll be back in class by the time any sensor goes off.

You may be deleting your comments in the hopes that it will pull some value away from Reddit. That’s not true, in fact, the opposite is more likely. They will still keep the deleted posts in their archives, and they will still be able to train their AI models on the content. The difference is that now they get an extra datapoint: these are the kind of comments of someone who left Reddit and deleted their account/comments. If you deleted them right after leaving, that means they can place your account deletion in time around the API changes, which will also contribute to their AI profile.

Cable internet tends to stay online even if your power is out. You’d need a battery backup for your modem/router, but it is possible to stay online. Houses can be clever like that, almost all of your utilities will partially work, even when service is interrupted.

Security vulnerabilities are a big deal in the tech world, but no one really cares outside of that. The CrowdStrike bug was big because it was user-facing and shut down systems. The truth is we haven’t seen any user-facing bugs from open source software to compare CrowdStrike to.

You will never be able to take away someone’s license for bad driving if doing so basically makes them unemployable and incapable of taking care of themselves. We need cheap, practical alternatives to cars in order to reduce the impact of bad drivers.
