@pixelfed Be interesting to note the sort of hardware/system requirements of the overall system over time as a sort of case study, but also for historical reference.

@Gargron Bravo, Eugen!

@Gargron Playing individual account moderation whack-a-mole with Threads' much larger userbase is a bad idea and exposes users of this instance to harm. It allows for all sorts of doxxing and dog-piling which individual users from these groups are not emotionally and logistically able to handle. Please reconsider and ban Threads outright. This should not be a "just manage it yourself" situation.

@foone The ocean seriously has a lot of Katamari Damacy action going on.

@foone So, what are you going to do? It looks like the voice remote pro v1 is still broadly available NIB on eBay and it shipped with a bunch of other Rokus which are now going for sale almost as cheap.

@foone The whole thing with the Roku remote and control system is it is so simple you can navigate it by touch. My Sony remotes are the exact opposite, having like 60 buttons for every possible feature.

@foone Aside from switching to the more common USB-C connector for charging, is there anything actually better about the v2? My parents have the v1 and use the headphone feature a lot to watch television while one of them is asleep.

@foone I ran dupeGuru on my drives recently and managed to find 600 GB of redundancies.

@foone My problem is I keep coming across stuff online and going "Oh, that's something I need to save for posterity" without realizing past me has already had the same encounter and done it for me.

@foone This is black magic!

Like, I get that such things are possible, but actually watching someone do such things is just bonkers to me. I've been soldering stuff since the early 1990's and consider myself reasonably good with an iron and will even undertake some simple repairs on SMD devices, but just the level of precision here is just way beyond me. It's like the difference between saying "I can do a somersault" and watching Simone Biles do a floor routine. A human being did THAT!

@mntmn $75 is a LOT cheaper than the rk3588, but also limited to 8GB of ram.

@nixCraft When corporate documents get fed into this training system, the result is that eventually someone might write a query that produces segments of those documents verbatim. This is a data security nightmare and any enterprise that values it's data should seriously reevaluate whether Microsoft should be used as a vendor AT ALL due to their willingness to force such a completely non-sensible default.

@mntmn Yes, watch The Wrestling Women vs the Aztec Mummy tomorrow with us at 8pm CT. The movies are trash, but the people are...well...also trash. But they sometimes say funny things!

@nixCraft There's going to be a ton of used ones of these on eBay one day and everyone is going to be wondering why the top of the unit is all scratched up.

@mntmn Love to see connectors robustly physically mounted. Seen so many devices break over the years due to strain on connectors with little other than surface solder holding them in place.

@foone You get it in Prometheus in the scene where Charlize Theron's character gets crushed to death by the rolling Alien spacecraft. I remembered watching it in theaters and going "just run to the side, idiots." I mean, you have these two ostensibly very smart women and they can't figure this out?

@mntmn Do like car makers in the late 60's did and underrate the engine horsepower so as not to cause people's insurance rates to skyrocket.

@QasimRashid Biden also ordered the Pentagon to share its intelligence on possible Russian war crimes with the ICC. The Pentagon normally objects to sharing intelligence with 3rd parties, but Biden publicly overruled them. It is almost like Biden thinks the ICC is a legitimate institution for the prosecution of war crimes.

He just doesn't like it when the "Rules based order" he so claims to cherish comes down in favor of something contrary to his administration's desires.

@QasimRashid

Q:Could you give us your reaction to the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin?

Biden: Well, I think it’s justified. But the question is, it’s not recognized internationally by us either. But I think it makes a very strong point.

Q:Should Putin be tried for war crimes? (Inaudible.)

Biden: He’s clearly committed war crimes.

@QasimRashid He wants an international rules based order where the US is the only one setting the rules. That isn't a rules based order where all parties are equal before it, it is the appearance of law, but with unequal application. It is a tool of US hegemony or nothing.

You see the same thing at the UN, with the major security council players repeatedly vetoing widely desired attempts to establish some sort of international law with actual teeth.
