I’m on a prepaid plan, and got in on a really good deal. They were offering $25/month off indefinitely for signing up for auto-pay (Basically 35% off, lol). It made the plan cheaper and better than most of their monthly plans. I’m happy to know it also saved me from giving out my SSN.

Exactly this. You don’t realize how useful they are until you’ve had a good one. The amount of BS from other teams they can shield you from can make focusing on your own job so much easier.

Unfortunately the ratio of good to bad PMs leaves a lot to be desired.

I don’t see anything wrong with the quote? Other than the policy itself being a ridiculous change, the wording is pretty standard legal speak. Not sure why you’re jumping to “ChatGPT Lawyer”

The wording says “third-parties as a service”, so as long as Redis isn’t accessible by people outside your organization, it’s fine. But paid Redis hosting wouldn’t be allowed on the new license.

You may not X in a way that Y implies that You may X in a way that does not Y, and is more specific (and changes the meaning of the license) vs You may not X

The legal distinction in this case allows for distributing the software for example as source code, but not as a service.

It’s in the RSALv2:

You may not make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version available to third parties as a service

xthexder,

That does seem to be the case. As long as any modifications to the source are publicly available. Which is pretty reasonable.

Same! I’ve lived 3 different places in this city and this is the first one that had an independent fiber internet provider. It’s hilarious getting Comcast/Xfinity mailers advertising internet offers that are higher priced and slower than what I have.

Apex Legends streamers surprised to find aimbot and other hacks added to their PCs in the middle of major competition via anti-cheat software (www.pcgamer.com)

Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times…...

On Windows, EAC runs at the kernel level and basically has full access to everything about your system. It only works on linux because newer linux kernels support emulating system calls in user-space (this might not be 100% accurate, but it’s the general idea).

Microsoft Defender exists for Mac? What?

I’ve chatted with a few experienced web devs, and from what I’ve heard, there’s a whole group of “web programmers” out there that just learn React and other fameworks, but don’t actually know how to code anything themselves. So many places won’t even consider you if you don’t know React.

And here I am still thinking jQuery is an excessive amount of page bloat.

That’s like saying HDDs will forget numbers if you store them next to a powerful magnet. Most SSDs have an operating range up to 70°C, so that hot room would have to be more like an oven.

Now I really want a lego kit of a mechanical computer. That would be so cool.

Sam Bankman-Fried deserves 40-50 years in prison for FTX fraud, prosecutors say (www.reuters.com)

NEW YORK, March 15 (Reuters) - Sam Bankman-Fried should spend between 40 and 50 years in prison after being convicted for stealing $8 billion from customers of his now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange, prosecutors said on Friday. … “Even now Bankman-Fried refuses to admit what he did was wrong,” prosecutors wrote in a...

FTX had over a million users, and was advertising publicly on things like the Superbowl. It wasn’t just rich people that lost money on FTX.

Depending on the credit card system used, there’s various levels of fraud detection. Some stores use a point-of-sale system for in-person transactions, and those generally don’t need the CVV code because you’re supposed to have the physical card. It doesn’t stop some businesses from using the system incorrectly, allowing them to charge a card without a billing address or security code.

This is part of why credit card signatures are basically useless compared to a pin that’s required for all in-person transactions.

It’s taken a while to figure out the meaning, but the reading I did basically defines “Woke” as generally being aware of the world and its problems, (Or in other words, not having your head in the sand). It’s baffling that the term has been used as an insult by anti-intellectuals.

Is that even a feature that exists? For home charging you can do it whenever you want without internet, and for paid chargers they’ll have their own Internet connection anyway.

xthexder,

You don’t need Internet to put charging on an hourly schedule. I’ve never heard of any EVs doing actual smart communicating with power stations to distribute load, it’s all manual and up to the car owner to charge during off-peak hours.

Please direct me to any EVs that actually do this though, since it sounds nice.

With automated CI, I’ve had very few times where bisect is useful. Either the bug was introduced 1-2 commits ago, or it’s always been there and the exact commit is irrelevant to the solution, since you just fix it forward.

The default copyright on all content is “all rights reserved”, even if no license is specified. So I guess it’s cool you’re giving out permission to use your comments with credit? It won’t stop any bots crawling the comments to train AI on though.

Not to mention there’s nearly 10x difference in bitrate between 4K streaming video and actual 4K HDR off a bluray. The only people who know how big a 4K video is these days are nerds and pirates, because it’s not like Netflix tells you.
