I hate that so much. Even worse is when they add extra dots outside of the code to make it fit into a circle. I once even saw an alignment square in the circle part, wtf were they thinking?

I’ve been without service since around noon, I guess this explains why. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?
The cheeky option:
tar -h
Or is it tar --help
? Oh no…
I see images, audio, or video files distributed in zips far too often. You’re getting maybe a percent of compression if you’re lucky; just distribute the raw files or use a non-compressed bundle format like tar.
I wonder whether buying “smart” TVs, flashing “dumb” firmware onto them, and selling them at a slight markup would be a viable business model. I guess you’d be at high risk of being sued, even if it’s entirely legal.
Oops my hand slipped and I accidentally torrented all my favorite shows!
One word: Linux.
Valve’s contributions have singlehandedly revolutionized the Linux gaming scene. They’re the only reason I can play most of the games I own. I don’t worship them, exactly, but I do think very highly of them.
A bit over two months ago. I try to go through my password manager to change all my passwords and clean up unused accounts a couple times a year.
I’d like to see Linus’s response if anyone tried to enshittify the kernel.
Really good book, one of my favorites.
Yeah, Discord is not a privacy preserving service in the slightest. Honestly I’m only using it because of the network effect at this point.
Nope, but tomorrow there’s a lunar eclipse!
What a novel and interesting idea! If only it wasn’t all a huge scam to take money from investors!
Do you have a source for that? I am unaware of any modern hard drives that support reading individual bits; the minimum unit of data that can be read is generally one sector, or 512 bytes. If the sector fails to be read, the drive will usually attempt to read it several times before giving up and reporting a read error to the PC.
Data recovery companies can remove the platters from a damaged drive and put them in a working drive, as long as the platters are in good condition, preventing further damage. (If the platters themselves are damaged, you’re screwed either way).
If your data is really important, you should send it to a reputable data recovery service. Using the drive any more (even with a tool like SpinRite) risks further damage.
The kinetic energy of an object is equal to the energy that was required to accelerate it.
They work out to the same total amount of energy.
