Some people change phones every year, or more often than that, then there’s all the coffee makers, small electronics nobody thinks about (watches, radios), computers and laptops, tvs, speakers, smart lights, kitchen tools, cars, anything digital (like calipers), power tools… Depending on what you count, it could add up to ridiculous numbers for some, skewing the average
People suggested formatting to exFAT which is valid, but first you could just try either compressing the file (tar czvf file tarball.tgz for instance). FAT32 cannot handle files larger than 4GB, and compression might just make your file small enough.
As a workaround you could also split it in half and stich it back on the target machine
So if the housing market crashed like really bad, by say everybody owning multiple homes being suddenly unable to afford the loans for that many homes, what would happen?
The banks would have to repossess the properties. And sell them on the market, but with many homes to sell, the price would come down crashing.
One can dream.
It already exists. There is a company that sells a space heater that mines crypto currency. You get like 50% or the profits which sucks, but you at least recoup a bit of the cost of the electricity to run the heater.
I think we should try to heat ourselves with computing as much as we can since the side effect of computing is heat generation (and minor RF losses). How cool would it be to make a large supercomputer out of millions of homes heating up in the winter?
My guess is click farms with some unknown custom made os that skew that data?
That also might be a source of Linux users hence the relatively high market share of the OS?
Not to mention that India still has a lot of call centers (some for scams) that may use Linux because it’s free (compared to a windows license)
The problem is that it is chromium based, hence giving Google more power in deciding internet standards (like their web environment integrity API proposed a few months ago)
I personally don’t care too much about the headphone jack (or lack thereof) when buying a new phone. That being said, for someone that doesn’t care all that much about audio quality, Bluetooth headphones are just fine, and I prefer having a more water resistant phone (maybe I just bought into the marketing on that point, but it seems harder to waterproof a phone when there are holes in it, though the usb port is still there as a weak point so…)
I’ve just accepted that the lack of headphone jack is the new norm.
“It doesn’t run the command!”

About 15k€ per square meter. I live in Paris, France. I eventually could afford a 20 square meter studio appartement, and I’m in the top 10% of earners.
The rest of France varies wildly, you could get a small house in the middle of nowhere for 150k,but parisian real estate is way out there…
You could host a proxy on a vps, somewhere, and use that vps ip address for the whitelisting. At this point setting up a VPN sounds more convenient though
Just the fact that windows has a hidden “true administrator” account that you have to use for some stuff, and is not easily accessible makes it way harder to take control of your own hardware.
Linux has the same thing, with the root account, but you can access it from a single sudo su command in a terminal (which is mostly pointless since sudo itself executes commands with the highest priviledges).
Also, Microsoft, not every damn thing needs a GUI. I’d rather have a good command line experience than having to trifle through the registry.
My desktop PC has 9.5 TB of storage installed, but that’s just for game data. All my data is on my NAS with a whopping 24 TB of redundant storage
I see what you did there.
ELI5 : Take the string AAAA.
A simple Cypher would be to change the letters to the next one in the alphabet and offset by 1 for each letter, the message would encrypt to ABCD.
If you try to compress that, well you can’t do it, otherwise you lose required information.
If you were to compress AAAA first, you could represent it as the string 4A. You can then encrypt that to 5B.
Encrypting is about adding entropy to a message. Compressing is about finding common groups and represent them differently so that the size is lower. Compressing an encrypted message is basically useless because you added so much entropy to the message that there are no more recognizable patterns to apply compression to.
Kinda expected it to be honest. That kind of behaviour is what prevents more developers from joining open source projects and contributing in the first place. When you go through the effort of, on your own time of forking, cloning, patching, compiling, testing, and make the pull request only to be shut down at the finish line for bullshit reasons, it’s nothing but discouraging.
There are already tools existing for dyndns that are free. If you’re using cloud flare as your dns provider, there’s cloudflareddns that checks your public ip and updates dns records. You just need 1 record to be updated, the other records can just be CNAME to that primary one.
OVH has DynHost to deal with that as well.
You could also write a script to do that with your own DNS provider if one doesn’t exist yet. Most have good APIs you can use to that extent. At worse just use cloudflare since it just works and is well supported.
I don’t mind paying full price for a game, as long as I own it in the end and that the game is not ridiculously short.
Paying 70 euros for a game with less than 7hrs of playtime to get to the end, and artificially padded with collectibles around a open world is a ripoff especially when the game requires licensing servers to be online to play, even for single-player.
