It was always there, but we've long ignored the warnings. It invented the Internet, which we took for granted. It wasn't until Gore seeped through a series of tubes that we realized, but by then it was too late.
It had already taken over the windmills.
Pretty sure emergency mobile broadcasts are included (at least by gov agencies) but you know what happens with these things that are only used for emergencies:
"It's annoying can't I turn it off?"
That's why I still think the more methods the better. It's probably one of the few reasons I'm okay with being bombarded with messages (not in jp, but literally got 2 earthquake warnings yesterday).
If we're nitpicking about AMD: another thing I dislike about them is their smaller presence in the research space compared to their competitors. Both Intel and NVIDIA throw money into risky new ideas like crazy (NVM, DPUs, GPGPUs, P4, Frame Generation). Meanwhile, AMD seems to only hop in once a specific area is well established to have an existing market.
For consumer stuff, AMD is definitely my go-to. But it occurs to me that we need companies that are willing to fund research in Academia. Even if they don't have a super good track record of getting profitable results.
Stick to a small instance with a small witchy vibe. You can get by by looking at local + subbing to only topics that you're interested in.
Personally I find my current instance + some of the literature instances (literature.cafe) very comfy. I blocked out 196, but that was only because it was big enough that it was drowning out all other discussions.Then I join in on some niche lemmy.world tech topics from time to time.
8gb RAM and 256 gb storage is perfectly fine for a pro-ish machine in 2023. What's not fine is the price point they are offering it (but if idiots still buy that, that's on them and not apple). I've been using a 8gb ram 256 gb storage Thinkpad for lecturing, small code demos, and light video editing (e.g. zoom recordings) this past year, it works perfectly fine. But as soon as I have to run my own research code, back to the 2022 Xeon I go.
Is it Apple's fault people treat browser tabs as a bookmarking mechanism? No. Is it unethical for Apple to say that their 8GB model fits this weirdly common use case? Definitely.
Am I the only idiot that read X as X11 then realized it was referring to Twitter?
I see your decryption key extraction and offer you a 5 dollar wrench.
The wrench also comes with DMA (direct mechanical assault), RDMA (remote direct mechanical assault via throwing), and DDIO (deals damage if opposing) capabilities. It's a real NSA bargain!
Piggybacking on top of this to plug another university research project. TrackerControl scans all installed apps afterwards for tracking libraries (i.e. google ads) and DNS traffic to ad servers. You can also use it as an ad blocker to block specific DNS entries.
Make sure to test your setup if you are using DAV. Large files can fail if your nextcloud setup is done incorrectly.
Source: idiot who misconfigured PHP that resulted in a DAV client stuck in a retry loop, then getting banned by my own firewall for DoS.
Sometimes you're working on an IoT device in a tight space, which makes rotating/seeing everything much harder.
Especially if you drop the cable it falls into a crevice somewhere.
You probably won't have trouble plugging it in the first time, but gods forbid you unplug/replug it then the cable rotates 540 degrees and you have no idea how it was plugged in before
Of course I don't carry 5 external drives with me all the time, that would be ridiculous.
I carry the whole HBA.
According to this post, the person involved exposed a different name at one point.

Cheong is not a Pingyin name. It uses Romanization instead. Assuming that this isn't a false trail (unlikely, why would you expose a fake name once instead of using it all the time?) that cuts out China (Mainland) and Singapore which use the Pingyin system. Or somebody has a time machine and grabbed this guy before 1956.
Likely sources of the name would be a country/Chinese administrative zone that uses Chinese and Romanization. Which gives us Taiwan, Macau, or Hong Kong, all of which are in GMT+8. Note that two of these are technically under PRC control.
Realistically I feel this is just a rogue attacker instead of a nation state. The probability of China 1. Hiring someone from these specific regions 2. Exposing a non-pinying full name once on purpose is extremely low. Why bother with this when you have plenty of graduates from Tsinghua in Beijing? Especially after so many people desperate for jobs after COVID.
