Correct: "The G-Drive couldn't have a backup system due to its large capacity," merely means "we were too cheap to provide a backup".
As we always used to say, "If you think having a backup is too expensive, try not having one."
I have a LG WebOS TV, too, though it's not OLED. The reason not to have it is that the UI is shit in every way. WebOS is a terrible fucking turd even if you never use a single app.
If you are patient you can get reasonable deals on digital signage displays, many of which even have tuners. You have to be careful though, because many of those are also "smart" now.
Even though I supported Biden, he didn't create jobs. The U.S. economy created jobs. He merely didn't construct the clusterfuck that el Bunko has created.
This is true.
The U.S. economy sort of runs along just fine without screwing with it.
This is nonsense. There has never been a time when it has not been screwed with, so there's nothing at all to support that statement.
Add to that, el Bunko totally screwed the farmers.
He screwed them last time, then there were bailouts, so they figured they could get more bailouts. So they voted for him again. He screwed them much worse this time, though. Many of us tried to warn them, but they dismissed us as a bunch of libtards, because they are stupid fucksticks. Farmers may be smarter than the average nerd thinks, but only because they think they are absolute idiots. They are only, as we can plainly see, mostly idiots.
Marxists claimed Trump would cause a total collapse of the economy. Once again, they were lying.
He's got years yet to destroy it. Once again, cowards are cowards. For example, you're afraid of facts.
But, at least they didn't let the bad Americans hold their data. Couldn't have THAT happen, could you? More important to assert local control than it is to not lost the data...
It's irrelevant anyway if you upload encrypted backups to cloud storage. That's one of the few cases where putting your data on someone else's server actually makes sense.
Managers should have 5-6 reports, but they should also do actual productive work, not only management. Maybe they only put in 8 hours of actual work a week, but a) this keeps them engaged with what is actually happening and b) if they cannot do real work, they are not qualified to manage people anyway. If it takes a long time to have check-ins with your employees then you've got big problems.
Firmware verification is why Synology's branded drives cost so much more. There's big liability there for them.
It's perfectly reasonable for them to have branded, tested drives which they certify. What's not reasonable is only allowing those drives.
"Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has complained about managers managing managers since 2023."
So, what does Mark do? Maybe manage managers that manage other managers?
Mark Zuckerberg voiced by the guy who played Milton: I make the [expletive] [expletive] decisions so the engineers don't have to. I have decision skills! I am good at making decisions!
They promptly moved to another AV vendor that injects their own third-party code into the kernel, which could also potentially cause a Crowdstrike-like incident in the future.
Yes, they could, if they are as incompetent as Clownstroke is, and they do not validate input to make sure it is even vaguely close to valid. That is a real problem whose likelihood we cannot evaluate because we are discussing closed source software, but one at least hopes that they learned something from the debacle.
And the administrator still doesn't have a freakin' choice but to allow that third-party code in (or get fired).
Moving the goalposts. We were talking about getting ride of Clownstroke.
the DSM 5 (the guidebook for diagnostics) was created by a committee that was heavily influenced by politics, and there was a significant pushback within the psychology community about it.
This is the side effect of the fundamental problem that we really don't understand minds.
No. The DSM is guided by politics as stated, and that is not a side effect of our not understanding minds. Both things affect the DSM, but you're willfully pretending the situation isn't what it is to suit your argument.
Now, I've tried to be careful and, reasonably neutral
Reality is not neutral. Stop it.
Europe and the UK are lagging because they just don't get enough sun to make solar work really well
They get plenty of sun. Solar panels are cheap and there are tons of places they haven't put them yet.
and wind has not experienced anything like the 99.9% price reduction solar has since the 1970's
That's a gross exaggeration of the price decrease, and you also wouldn't expect wind to get cheaper as much as solar because we've been doing wind power for quite some centuries, but solar power for less than one.
When you abandon your hardware, you are expected to abandon your software.
When you buy closed source software, you should be expecting it to be abandoned and yourself to be left up shit creek. That's how the world actually works.
Why should I have to spend any extra money?
You're spending the money whether they "give" you the cable or not, because that cost is priced into the product.
I hear you. A virtual serial port seems like bullshit to me right now. We can't unleash the bandwidth of USB, it seems, to me.
IMO, a minimum requirement for anything other than a virtual serial port would be a microcontroller that has 32-bit addressing. That way you can put some shared dual-port RAM between the microcontroller and the main CPU and use it for a pair of ring buffers.
That wouldn't really be feasible on a 16-bit chip like the ATmega2560, because you'd be cutting into your program memory too much, and program memory in those things is already very limited.
I find plenty A to C and C to C cables at the supermarkets these days. They also have started showing up with things which take rechargeable batteries and just assume you have someplace to plug in a type C, which these days is fairly reasonable. For most phones it's perfectly safe to use a $4 cable, they are only drawing a few tens of watts anyway.
