shred is what you should be using if you really want to destroy a file, but I’m actually not sure that works well on all filesystems.

I’m pretty sure FAT32 and NTFS leave behind partial file artifacts when you edit/append data, and especially when you physically move it around.

It just seems inevitable you’ll leave behind deleted blocks with data, which only a fulle drive wipe would guarantee removal.

Makes sense but since ISPs are essentially a monopoly in fiber, they get to charge whatever they want, despite the fact that I know AT&T’s break even cost for 5G fiber is $10 a month per line.

The modern web is an insult to the idea of efficiency at practically every level.

You cannot convince me that isolation and sandboxing requires a fat 4Gb slice of RAM for a measly 4 tabs.

I think ever since Valve fought through their first lawsuit with Sierra and lucked out with them finding evidence showing destruction of evidence, they probably developed zero appetite to fold for frivolous lawsuits lol.

Nice lol, have fun!

I’m late to this reply, but Chinese pilots and aircraft have actually become quite competent this decade. Their behavior with international intercepts doesn’t mean anything, especially when its usually done by some ye olde J-11s. And amazingly they kickstarted the LRAAM arms race again with their highly successful PL-15.

The F-35 does get to face off against China’s J-20 and J-35, but to answer your question, the thing was built as an export product to make a ton of money for Lockheed.

While there is obvious technological advancement from the F-22, it has a top speed akin to a dated block I JF-17, reliability as good as a land rover, and parts/munitions expensive as golden caviar.

It’s just an export all in one stealth solution because there is no alternative that was developed.

Which is why I want to see it pitted against any nation that has properly delved into counter stealth operations. I feel like if you can successfully light it up, it would struggle in a BVR fight, unlike the F-22 which has plenty of power to mess around.

There’s no direct Chinese equivalent because both the J-20 and J-35 are more akin to the F-22 (although J-35 is a bit closer), but I would not be surprised to find the F-35 not being able to keep up with such adversaries.

And I’m fairly certain USAF is completely aware of this in their redteam exercises, which is why they continue to field the F-22 as their primary stealth air superiority fighter, if not outright their primary air superiority fighter.

Even more annoyingly for the USAF, I don’t think the upcoming F-47 is going to come before China decides to jump on Taiwan, so they’ll more than likely be fighting with whatever they have today.

No they’re just not dumb enough to make the same mistake as Ohio

They don’t mention it, but I highly suspect its actually not significant.

I used to think fast charging did the same thing, but it turns out that even the heaviest wattage implementations have negligible effects on cycles and health.

As long as your driver is smart enough to control or manipulate the voltage at certain capacities (<15% and >85%), the higher power won’t affect the cell quality.

I think they’re just pooling stock because the RAM prices are already screwed.

AYN already announced that their supplier is bumping prices, so their console prices are definitely gonna increase by the next batch.

The bubble will eventually pop, it just won’t be rapid or soon enough to halt product sales and wait it out.

Which sucks because a year ago, the GabeCube would have sold at a seriously competitive price to the point where it would have legitimately challenged Xbox as the superior product, despite much lower unit count.

I had to resort to used SAS drives. Which is sad because that’s literally the only component that everyone universally suggests not to buy used.

At least mine came with a 1 year warranty, and the SMART tests look great for 50,000 powered on hours.

Original Fortnite was garbage lol. Dunno how much its changed since, but I found it to be the worst f2p battle royale game at the time.

The projectile physics were cruddy, the weapons sucked, the building mechanics seemed like an abusable/spammable gimmick more than a proper feature, there weren’t any vehicles, the rewards were non existent, the graphics looked pretty lame, the emotes had nothing compared to TF2 taunts.

I had more way more fun on some random Chinese mobile pubg knockoff with touchscreen controls.

Maybe its just me, but I feel like Fortnite just got lucky by being the first on the PC/console space that was free, so it exploded in popularity. Otherwise there were a ton of much better alternatives.

AYN Thor is a awesome DS handheld, but they too also warned that their supplier is bumping RAM prices heavily, so they expect the price to go up too

Xbox Windows X11 (not to be confused with Xorg X11 or DX11)

Live announcement on X (not to be confused with Xbox Series X or Xbox One X)

Anyways rip NT Kernel lol. Now there really isn’t any use case left where it would actually be useful.

I am literally just waiting for China to catch up and knock over all 3 of these TSMC suckers.

I don’t care if they throw a 2000% tarrif on it, I will figure out a way to bypass it so I can enjoy pre inflation PC prices again when high end GPUs were going for $300, SSDs became so cheap that the HDD market actually started falling behind, and you could chuck RAM sticks around like spare change.

There was a thread on one of the tech communities about CS horror shows, and one of them was a guy telling a story about how Amazon had to completely redesign their smart home printer function to run through some monkeychain cloud pipeline because right before launch because they realized one of the libraries related to CUPS was AGPL, which is a blacklisted license at Amazon.

The kicker was that the library also offered a lifetime corporate license for $100.

Amazon redesigned their entire printing functionality stack to avoid paying $100 (or following AGPL lol).

The American Auto Industry has been struggling to keep pace since the 80s lmao

They only exist because they threw their money at congress to make horsecrap legislation that bans competition.

They even assassinated sedans with EPA laws that stimulates everyone to make SUVs lol.

This thread did a great job showing which lemmy instance users can’t be taken seriously lol.

Whaddya hear, whaddya say?

I don’t think the Biden or a Harris administration would have started a war with Iran while brazenly sidestepping congress.

No they’d probably unbrazenly sidestep congress after Israel manufacturers a reason for them to go to war with something like another 9/11.
