Not having to interact with Nazis is tied to which instance I signed up on? I’m confused by this argument.

Yes, in theory that would work. But they actually make main disconnect switches for this in the event that the main breaker fails. It’s a mandatory install in all grid tie electrical generator systems (including solar).

And that “practical use” kills linemen.

“As a” implies knowledge that it is not a generator but can effectively be used as one.

I can’t imagine that they would be trying to make that argument. 😮

I remember the day Firefox came out… It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Have LTS kernels started backporting non security fixes like this? To be fair I haven’t looked at this in over a decade but this kind of patch wouldn’t have been backported then.

This is one of those comments that causes Arch to get the reputation that it does. You aren’t wrong and you probably don’t intend to be off-putting but here we are.

Red Hat and Debian both backport security fixes but don’t backport things like laptop device support. It can take a year or more for versions of those distros to gain the kind of functionality that is looking for.

This is an excellent answer. My eli5 addition is this:

It depends on your distro. Distros that do more hand holding and more compatibility without additional operator involvement will be more likely to backport or use a stable kernel with backports like these. Examples: Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint. Distros that focus on system stability will take much longer to integrate backports like these, ex: Debian. And masochists will tell you to do it yourself, ex: lfs, arch.

Exactly the opposite. Removing sms was the thing that finally made me recommend it to my friends and family. People understand sms replacements. People understand alternate messaging apps. People don’t understand encrypted sms.

If you have people who love whatsapp, it’s super easy to get them to use signal instead.

It depends on what you are trying to do… There are many tunnel / reverse proxy routing services like https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/

Here’s a list https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling

You can also get a super cheap vps, do some ssh reverse tunnel magic and go along with your day.

You couldn’t pay me to use this…

Here is the rest of the story: the people who chose the subdomain chose .ml because they want it to mean marx-lenin… that’s why it means that for them.

Generally you are right. In this specific instance it was chosen for the fascism.

This took a major hit just a few years ago when the UK officially backed out.

You are making just such a weird argument and it sounds like you are retroactively trying to salvage a bad position because you made a mistake.

1. If you care strongly about audio quality. A built-in doesn’t have any quality guarantees… why then does usb vs hat matter?

2. If quality is your concern why bring up price in the first part? It is blatantly obvious that cheap parts *might" equate to cheap quality. This is blatantly obvious.

3. Obviously there will be USB solutions that are equal or better solutions than prebuilt rpi dac hats since the primary dac hats are exceptionally niche.

This response just sounds like you got caught out in your mistake/bad argument. Why be a dick about it?

Waaaaat? The Texas power grid is price gouging again?!? Who could have foreseen this??? After all that work they put into the power grid after the last time this happened? It’s almost like someone should regulate this power grid or something.

Your mistake was giving them an answer instead of asking how the scale was setup before giving them a number. Psychologically, by answering first your established that the question was valid as presented and it anchored their expectations as the ones you had to live up to. By questioning it you get to anchor your response to a different point.

Sometimes questions like this can be used to see how effective a person will be in certain lead roles. Recognizing, explaining and disambiguating the trap question is a valuable lead skill in some roles. Not all mind you… And maybe not ones most people would want.

But most likely you dodged a bullet.

Self documenting code is infinitely more valuable than comments because then code spreads with it’s use, whereas the comments stay behind.

I got roasted at my company when I first joined because my naming conventions are a little extra. That lasted for about 2 months before people started to see the difference in legibility as the code started to change.

One of the things I tell my juniors is, “this isn’t the 80s. There isn’t an 80 character line limit. The computer doesn’t benefit from your short variable names. I should be able to read most lines of code as a single non-compound sentence in English with only minor tweaks and the English sentence should be what is happening in most of those lines of code.”

Below the 3.0 volt limit will reduce usable cycle count by 30-80% Everytime the cell drops that low. Charging over 4.1 will reduce usable cycle count as well.

Example # of usable cycles if you stop discharge at 3.2 and stop charging at 4.0 for modern lipos can be 5000-10000 cycles.

Charging to 4.3 every cycle (phone batteries are rated to 4.3 not 4.2… it’s why they have the larger than expected wh capacity numbers) will reduce that to 500.

Discharge it to 2.5 and you will get 10-50 cycles.

For those who are just looking at the SD or their phones… Most devices report 0% at 3 or 3.1v and 100% at 4.3 or 4.2 volts… So basically discharging to 0% doesn’t matter… It’s the charging to 100% that matters to most people.

If you charge to 100% you will get about 500 charges (it doesn’t matter what the % is you start at is… 90% -> 100% is the same one cycle as 20% -> 100%). That’s about two years of use for most people before your battery starts to suffer and you will see noticable decrease in battery life.

If you charge to 70% you will get about 10 years before you will see a drop in battery life. 80% will get you about 6-8 years.
