Then provide a paywall free link from an archiver that doesn’t DDOS…

Thanks! I appreciate the archive link, although I think it’s OP’s job to provide it.

2009 maybe doesn’t sound super long ago, but it’s 17 years, that’s almost the midpoint between now and when operating systems became mainstream.

Hell yeah! Great to hear that

That can only happen if we stop giving a shit about impact factors (and remove it from legal hiring requierements in some countries) and when big name PIs stop giving excuses like ‘I want my research to be read’ as if that wouldn’t happen in the journals that are more appropriate for the topic they publish in.

csv is a pretty good data sharing format, but not very well suited for spreadsheets. Just because you can shove anything you want in there doesn’t mean you should.

I guess their own slop isn’t good enough as a communication platform

Add more requirements to the contract that make these kinds of practices impossible/harder to pull off

What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?

There’s plenty of perfectly fine distributions out there. Mint is an easy choice, easy to get started with, big community that probably already has answered the questions you might have and otherwise you can ask them. Many more gaming focused people use Bazzite, not sure what it offers on top of a basic, well working environment.

The Nvidea graphics card could cause issues since drivers tend to not be supported well. Again, you’re most likely to find help for the bigger distros such as Mint and Bazzite.

Regardless of which distro you choose, just try it and see how it goes. Dual boot can be a nice starting point (but make sure you get the partitioning right before installing anything!).

So for a change a company is cleaning up after itself? That’s nice! (Not sure what’s up with the endless reminders that it’s not sharks)

You mean wear something generic, unidentifiable and add some body armor?

Yep, that’s the direction I was thinking. The whole point of these cameras is to track people, including you, meaning that they can track everyone in the area before and after a camera is destroyed. It seems to me that the logical time to destroy a camera is when few other people are arround to stop/witness someone destroying a camera, but that also means there are few people to track and therefore it’s easier to single out whoever did it.

How would you take such a camera down without being spotted and tracked? Do they not look in all directions?

Not asking for all the technical details on how to take one down, just curious how so many can be taken down with so few arrests after. I guess it’s a matter of good disguises?

Apparently the threats are still sufficiently strong that the author dares not mention the company’s name :/

Ah yes, ‘best technologies in the world’ like the software giving Google and the USA full access to all our data?

From my understanding, most LLMs work by repeatedly putting the processing output back into the input until the result is good enough. This means that in many ways the input and the output are the same thing from the perspective of the LLM and therefore inseparable.

The title of this article just doesn’t match reality. It really only (maybe) applies to very high end systems that are already pushing the limits of all components. Most people don’t have the money to waste on that and have plenty of room to upgrade their hardware for a looong time.

If you don’t need much (e.g. no gaming, 3D rendering, etc.), especially if you don’t need a dedicated gpu, then you can upgrade for at least a decade before running into issues. To be fair, a laptop should last a decade as well in that case, but at a higher prices and while being less repairable.

The previous comment gives a pretty clear argument for why desktops are more future proof, I think. Being more repairable is a pretty big deal for the longevity of the whole system.
