If they won’t pay with it, isn’t it just an email address with a password? If the laptop is company issued OP can just use their new compwny email address, than don’t use that address for anything outside work related stuff.

I work around this by enabling rdp or ssh on guests as soon as possible and connect from my terminal for ssh, I use remmina for rdp, paste works there.

I don’t know other situations where I would need this.

2017 was 7 year ago, Aaron died 11 years ago. There are a lot younger users who can’t remember these things.

Let’s see a 20 years old university student was 13 when the source was closed down, I think it’s not easy to find a 13 years old who is familiar with such legal things.

Reddit was open source until 2017, and one of the founders was Aaron Schwartz. So it didn’t look like that for a long time.

It was a terrible sub for years much before the apicalypse. It was full of apple fanboys who believed every marketing bullshit.

It’s a marketing article with nearly zero actual facts. One screenshot about the actual product.

MS and others already use AI for drawing building countours for OpenStreetMap and OvertureMaps from aerial imagery. In osm these AI generated lines are only allowed to be imported after a human supervision and currently it’s very hit or miss. On low density areas it’s mostly good, but in dense city centers it’s unusable.

In overture maps these lines are imported automatically, that’s why you can see buildings on rivers.

They don’t write about these shortcomings in the article, and how they solved AI hallucinations

It was 33rd in 2010:

In November 2010, the Air Force Research Laboratory created a powerful supercomputer, nicknamed the “Condor Cluster”, by connecting together 1,760 consoles with 168 GPUs and 84 coordinating servers in a parallel array capable of 500 trillion floating-point operations per second (500 TFLOPS). As built, the Condor Cluster was the 33rd largest supercomputer in the world and was used to analyze high definition satellite imagery at a cost of only one tenth that of a traditional supercomputer.

They are users not developers. An academic or civil engineer who uses a CFD simulator usually has not enough programming knowledge develop such a complex application. The employer has not enough funds to pay for developers (see, they use a pirated software). Paying for developers is still more expensive than buying an already developed product.

Just look at the state of FOSS CAD software. There are some, but they are very-very limited compared to proprietary alternatives. Most people don’t care, they just want to get the work done. Not everyone is a programmer, even if it looks like that from our lemmy bubble.

In the Register article they didn’t copied from the source that the scientists were from Egypt.

Flow3D has different academic and research licenses: https://www.flow3d.com/academic-program/

• There is a free research license available, but it’s only for 4 months. It’s short, researches can take much longer than that.
• There is a free teaching license, but it can have limitations for using the software outside education. It may be forbidden to use outside classes, so it’s possible that they had a teaching license, but they couldn’t use that for research?
• There are licenses for full departments, but it’s available for selected countries only.

It’s strange that they went after these scientists. In 2nd and 3rd word countries software privacy for work is still common. Everything is cheaper, but software prices are the same as in the US, so they pay relatively more for the same tool. I found that a normal license for Flow 3D can cost USD 100k. According to a quick search civil engineers get USD 2000 yearly in Egypt.

Usually American software companies don’t really care about piracy by individuals in these countries. The rationale is that it’s better for them if they use their software without payment instead of using a software from another vendor without payment. They go after bigger companies, at least that’s my experience.

That’s why this story is strange to me, or at least something else should be behind it.

# At least you can have comments unlike in json. Who need comments in a config file anyway.

Interesting, it’s on AUR, I will try it.

So it doesn’t need any port forwarding, and works on CGNAT? How the “NAT hole punching” works? Both clients connect to something on IPFS?

Afaik, for DHT with torrent, clients need to know at least one tracker, what is the “tracker” here? Something on IPFS? Who am I sending my IP addresses?

How much overhead does this add to speed? I love with Wireguard, that it’s barely noticeable, really close to p2p speeds, OpenVPN was awful in this regard.

Thanks. I tried an experiment recently, how long can I live without rooting. This is finally a reason to install magisk again.

Do you need to root your phone for that? Or is it possible without rooting? Afaik Auto app has to be installed in priv-app

Eternity haven’t been updated in 2 months, and 0.19 lemmy update broke some functionality.

like just docker run by itself, it’s not the full command, you need a compose file: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/compose/

Basically it’s the same as docker run, but all the configuration is read from a file, not from stdin, more easily reproducible, you just have to store those files. The important is compose commands are very important for selfhosting, when your containers expected to run all the time.

RTFM: https://docs.docker.com/compose/

Forget docker run, docker compose up -d is the command you need on a server. Get familiar with a UI, it makes your life much easier at the beginning: portainer or yacht in the browser, lazy-docker in the terminal.

It brakes some things. I tried to enable it on my main desktop, but some site were not working properly, I don’t remember exactly what was the problem, but for me, with a decent desktop CPU, everything was better without it. On my low end laptop it helped a lot with intel graphics. It depends on your hardware, and they bet on the safe side.

It’s a 10" tablet, how big is your pocket?

My bigger concern checking its specs is this:

Storage: 64 GB eMMC Flash, 64 GB

Unlike ram, ssds die after some use. So the lifespan of this device depends on this SD card, eMMC is basically a soldered SD card, a bad quality ssd. I have 3 old tablets with dead eMMC, they are otherwise perfectly fine devices, but unusable for anything

I’m not too familiar with the surface lineup, but iirc there are higher end devices with replaceable ssds. I think soldered ram is not a big deal in this form factor if it’s enough for the expected use case, but a soldered hard drive lowers the lifespan of your device

operating system: any

Have you tested it on all of them? TempleOS, Windows CE, Windows XP 64bit, Amiga? Just to name few. I guess you meant the big 3.

Also for dependency management there are better solutions than listing them in a readme. The current recommended way is with pyproject.toml

Between 1860 and 1930:

Between 1860 and 1930, exploitation of the rich land of the pampas strongly pushed economic growth.[3] During the first three decades of the 20th century, Argentina outgrew Canada and Australia in population, total income, and per capita income.[3] By 1913, Argentina was among the world’s 10th wealthiest states per capita.[4]
