But once it’s recompiled it runs so smooth.

Between season 18 and 19 was when the movie came out it IMDb’s dates are correct.

I think they’re just saying that if you’re a multi billionaire and get a 50% net worth fine, you’re still a billionaire once it’s done.

So this makes Amazon, Microsoft and Google jumping on board the nuclear energy train. Meta would have to be the next domino surely?

I can see where you got watch from looking at the picture as a thumbnail rather than a full image!

Probably had leftover screens after they stopped making the 3DS and wanted to use them for something.

An Apple TV actually fits this use case pretty well. Being Apple most providers will have native apps available for the device (they definitely have Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+), it comes with a remote but supports using other infrared remotes (you can train it to recognise specific buttons so doesn’t matter what remote you use), and you can also control it from your phone (it works natively for iOS but there are Android apps that can do it too).

For casting, if you use Apple devices it’s easy with AirPlay. If you use Android devices there are apps you can get that support Chromecast, however haven’t ever used them personally so can’t comment on their effectiveness.

And to date Apple haven’t put ads into the tvOS interface. It’s basically a grid of apps and you just open the one you want to watch. It’s been our primary TV device for years now, and is simple enough to use that even my 60 something tech adverse mum likes using it.

For most of my internal services that are sitting behind Traefik I use step-ca which basically gives you a Let’s Encrypt style certificate while working over the local network. The root CA has a long expiry (so might not be what you want if your goal Is a short lived root CA) but the actual certificates for each service are short lived (a touch over 24 hours from memory?)

Capitalism?

I saw a similar comment in the last week or so (might have been on TikTok?) but it was specifically Japanese court that they’d said they’d never lost in. I don’t know if it’s accurate though, took it at face value and didn’t really think much about it.

I figure brand new major features would be slower in coming. But security would be improved.

I feel there’s going to be an element of “old man yells at cloud” here, but that isn’t inherently a bad thing. I just use Windows at work at the moment but there’s very little I do in Windows that I couldn’t do as far back as Windows XP as long as driver support kept up. I don’t use it for the OS, the OS just enables me to use the applications I need.

Same with MacOS. I know Apple always act like every minor enhancement is the greatest thing ever (look, we added Tabs to Finder 🤩), but ultimately the OS is there to act as the pathway between my applications and my hardware.

If the focus switched from features to security, would we really lose anything of value? At a minimum I wouldn’t have family contacting me cause their PC looks different than it did previously (looking at you centralised Windows taskbar 👀).

I assume the extra padding was a function of touch screens becoming more prevalent since trying to hit the 2003 style buttons with a finger was not that easy, although I don’t remember offhand when touch first started becoming a thing in Windows so it might have happened the other way around. But either way it’s likely still a factor in why the ribbon with its extra padding has stuck around.

They do, they’re probably just hoping the advertisers don’t and keep paying for more ad space.

We had a system at work that generated 4 character alphanumeric reference numbers. Originally to avoid this they just excluded vowels from the letters but eventually they grew enough they ran out of available reference numbers so they added the vowels back in and I had to built the blacklist to avoid stuff like this happening. I reckon I probably tripped every IT filter known to man in a week long period looking for swear words in a variety of languages 😂

The part where people share asterisks when they talk about their passwords? Just seems like good security honestly 😂 Glad Lemmy is keeping up with this pinnacle of security best practices.

Games that have already been classified prior to September 22nd aren’t affected by this unless they need to go through classification again, however I’m going to laugh if Pokemon Red & Blue are rereleased on the Switch 2 at some point in the future and get slapped with an R18+ rating 😂

The last time France used it was in 1977, so while it might have started a while back they only stopped using it less than 50 years ago.

Someone crunched the numbers and worked out this was cheaper than dealing with people wanting refunds of their DLC content when the main game was delisted.

I can’t speak to the Xbox stuff but for the most part I feel the Dawntrail launch has gone really well. Yes, there’s some bugs, that’s usually inevitable for a launch of this size, but the only game breaking one I’ve seen was Syrcus Tower which was fixed in under 24 hours without bringing the game down for maintenance.

But I don’t think there’s been anywhere near as many queuing issues as there was in Endwalker, and while I’m only just past the first dungeon in the MSQ the only issues I’ve seen (other than ST) have been cosmetic.

I’m hoping the queuing isn’t as bad this time. People forget that since Endwalker they’ve actually done some work on the queuing stuff and the disconnects during queuing (admittedly after a network engineer who played the game was able to comprehensively demonstrate there was issues in the game’s netcode causing the disconnects, but still). And they’ve added in the extra servers as well to help with the initial surge that you’d expect will happen.

That’s not to say there won’t be queues of course but I’m not expecting it to be as bad as EW was.
