Yeah, likely true without some sort of legislation.

Well at least there’s a business opportunity for someone to reanimate these things and use them to push gacha games and energy drinks on the innocent children they’ve bonded with.

Surely in that case they could open their software so the community can figure out what it would take to keep it running.

There’s something like that near me, but it’s a Five Guys clone. Seems like a good idea if you can get established locally. Small menu, nothing complicated.

So, should I start hassling my ISP about my missing 350 Mbps? Is there some other obvious thing I should test before I hassle them? I certainly don’t want them to say “have you turned it off and on again”?

My ISP will treat anything under (I think) 90% of advertised speed as a technical problem, assuming it shows up on the modem speed test.

I had a problem recently where it was consistently slow, but only in the evenings. I was pretty sure it was a neighbourhood issue, but I still had to go through the whole troubleshooting script, replace the modem, get a tech out to check everythting, etc.

After none of that helped, the regular tech support didn’t know what else to try. Luckily there was a form on their site to escalate an issue. That put me in touch with an actual person with an email address, and they were able to get the issue sorted relatively quickly.

There’s actually a whole escalation process up to making a complaint with the regulator, but this is in Canada, so YMMV.

This is only loosely related to your post but I just came across this project:

https://archipelago.gg/

This is a cross-game modification system which randomizes different games, then uses the result to build a single unified multi-player game. Items from one game may be present in another, and you will need your fellow players to find items you need in their games to help you complete your own.

It supports a whole shitload of games: https://archipelago.gg/games

I only just started reading about it. So far it seems like insanity.

I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:

People in Canada can’t view this content.

Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.

I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

This as close to actual England as EPCOT England has ever been.

I’d just count calories and reduce the amount per day until you’re losing weight.

The time of day you eat things shouldn’t really matter. This will also teach you really quickly how to feel full on minimal calories. For me I just try to eat something like raw carrots when I want a snack.

It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.

Does it actually tell you the results? I’m curious how they score your driving, and how effective it is. The scariest things I see on the road are things like:

• distracted driving
• tailgating
• lack of awareness

I don’t see how they’d measure how safe a driver you are.

Perhaps it’s just that people are more careful when they know they’re being monitored, and safe drivers are more likely to opt in?

One person has been killed and several others injured

It’s a trap.

That’s what I’m talking about though. The stupid changes usually get caught, but you still have someone there who thought it was a good idea.

Something I’ve noticed from working in a big company is that people consistently fail to predict the backlash that their policy changes will cause.

They often don’t even care all that much about the change, and if you point out that people will be upset, they agree that it’s not worth it. They just can’t relate to the people they are impacting.

I’d probably:

1. make sure it can be reliably reproduced using something like systemctl suspend
2. try swapping the cables and see if it still happens on the same screen, or the same port
3. look at journald/dmesg output for the period from suspend to resume

When the screen fails to wake, are you able to get it back by powering it off, or by unplugging it? Is it X or wayland?

Companies love getting your money early, especially with higher interest rates, so this only makes sense if the prices are going way up.

Oh yeah, that was pretty much the point I was trying to make too.

Of course not, but you have to either trust your users to some extent or give them a system that’s locked down to the point of hindering them.
