The entire MacOS including finder and the tools was 216KB on the 400KB floppy.

The original Macintosh had 128k of ram.

I got to where it expected me to partition the drive manually and noped out. I was doing that in the 90’s when I compiled my own kernel. Ain’t nobody got time for that today.

I repainted a small drafting table lamp and it took an entire can. (3 cans: 1 primer, 1 paint 1 clear coat) I was shocked.

Then I had to do it again because I didn’t do it right the first time. (Too far away gave a dusty finish.)

It’s likely intentional. What’s the point of a good reputation if you don’t milk it for profit? Bestbuy alternates between good and bad. Build a good reputation, the cut corners for profit for several years until people notice while banking that profit. Then restart the good reputation.

How many cans did it take?

This came out a while ago. The developer used a license that said, “Steal this software, I don’t care.” Then he was shocked Pikachu when it was stolen.

His problem is the exact reason GPL was created.

I’m sure Google does monetize the gps data instantly, then throws it away rather than save old data that only costs money to respond to government requests.

This is a case where privacy is economically beneficial to Google.

The device only was for privacy. When the data was stored in the cloud, the government had unrestricted access. By making it device only they need to get your device to get that data.

Is it always 20 minutes? Or is it sometimes 15 minutes and sometimes 25 minutes?

but it is worth noting that China does utilize administrative detention

Isn’t that the same as Jails in the US which is separate from prison statistics?

Jail is where you go for the night when arrested for disorderly conduct and are released the next day.

Those Tualatin core CPUs were absolutely fantastic. They doubled them and made the Core2. I had one running for 10+ years. I don’t know what it was about the bios but it was the fastest boot PC I ever built.

Btw the CPU in the Lenovo P330 is an e-2174g. I also got an e-2274g.

I got a sff P330 Xeon with integrated graphics for ~$500 two years ago that includes case power supply etc. Far faster than an n100 and even lower power than if you added a GPU to an n100.

I just plugged in a kilowatt to check:

My Lenovo sff workstation running Plex idles at 15 watts- which is 90% of the time. Streaming 4k 52Mbs hevc (This Flash Gordon is my torture test that caused me to upgrade 2 years ago) it’s 18 watts! I was so surprised that I went back and unplugged the Ethernet thinking I put the killawatt on the wrong server.

What’s your budget? I’m a big fan of old Xeon servers.

Forward it to Louis Rossman. He’ll make an entire video about it and add it to the wiki tracking these scummy companies.

Check the Discord.

Trump tariffed penguins because he didn’t understand what Microsoft was talking about.

Yeah I want to completely switch off of Plex but neither is a good solution for my non tech family members. Mother in law is in a retirement center where they use wifi provided for the condos so I can’t access her router. And I would expect her ip to occasionally change on reboots etc. I might try IP ranges or narrow geo blocking.

Don’t try to simulate this by adding sugar to concrete.
