I think Bohemia parted ways with their publisher Codemasters, who retained the Operation Flashpoint trademark.

Down-rounds are very undesirable though. So those 332 likely have not had other options. True number of companies that wouldn't really be valued as high as their peak raise is probably higher, but some of them have been able to find enough revenue or other sources of funding in order not to raise and be valued down.

Why would you expect Apple to give up their margin? The DRAM price hikes affect every smartphone vendor, even Samsung through opportunity cost. That means the competition will also need to hike their prices. And the competition has lower margin, so they have less choice here.

SailfishOS runs most of Android apps fine. For bank ID, system attestation requirements might block them though.

The docker CLI tool is normally executed with user privileges, but there's dockerd, a daemon running as root that actually does the container execution.

High level waste disposal starts this year in Finland. The site is 400m underground in bedrock. It will not be really operated in geological timescales, but filled with sealing clay after the disposal is finished in 100 years or so. It is financed by the national nuclear waste management fund, which has been fully capitalised by the nuclear generation companies during plant operation.

Solaris lives on as Illumos. Wherever the Solaris developers go, they build on that. Currently they are on it at Oxide.

I'm sure Oracle milks commercial Solaris efficiently, but I imagine it's hard to find new customers for it.

The ISPs are a natural monopoly, or oligopoly at least, because it's expensive to lay cable for each home. Their business is quite profitable even when they don't get to control their customers traffic.

Yes, I think it's the same in here, you have been able to ignore the letters without any consequence. Also from what I hear, the letters have been very inaccurate. I doubt the IP based proof would hold in the court of law.

How is the anti-P2P enforcement these days? I think there are companies gathering bittorrent swarm data and selling it to lawyers interested in this sort of bullying. In Finland at least you can expect a mail from one of them if your IP address turns up in this data. However I think it is mostly focused on video and music piracy.

Since the Tapani storm of 2011 there's been a massive undergrounding of the power grid, so much of the rural areas are now also quite safe from outages. But there are still a lot of the old type of grid left and the economics for undergrounding those are increasingly unfavorable. Perhaps grid connected batteries next to the transformers might soon be more economical for many of these areas. They could serve other functions beside backup power, after all.

Your sound card works perfectly.

It's a reference to a classic comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

Modern air-to-air heatpumps heat at over 100% efficiency even at those temperatures, they are very widely deplyoed in the Nordics for heating. And even where it is sometimes that cold, most of the year it is warmer than that. Still yes, you should have another source of heat just in case.

This is largely a misconception that's caused by the fact that EV fires are hard to extinguish with normal water sprays. That is because the bettery packs are designed to be water proof, so it is hard to get the fire patrol's water in. If you can immerse the pack in water, the fire is extinguished without much trouble. That's unlike petroleum fires, where the fuel is lighter than water and liquid, so water spray will boil and spread the fire instead of extinguishing it.

You can also recharge your geothermal well or ground heat collection field by heating the outgoing thermal collection liquid with either cheap electricity (rooftop solar?) or direct solar heat collection. I think this will be a growing thing as the earliest mainstream ground source heat wells start to be a few decades old. Many of them are sized so that they don't fully recover during the summer, so the heat output slowly drops.

These weather systems are quite big indeed. It's cold and calm in the neighboring Scandinavian countries as well and typically in Central Europe too.

Z2 means you'll have two parity disks, like in RAID-6. That should be okay. The trouble with RAID-5 are the rebuild times that rise to multiple days with modern disk sizes. The duration of time you run effectively without redundancy grows uncomfortably large. Especially if you don't have a hot or even cold spare around.

Here in rural Finland, 4G/5G is the only option available to me. I'm getting 50-150Mbps download speed, but often just a dozen Mbps upload. On the night hours it's better and that's when I my game downloads and backup uploads. I think there's going to be another municipal FTTH program, let's see if I get a fixed line at that point.

AFAIK it never pans out really. People turn out very stingy if they're faced with a decision to pay or not to pay for every article, so the revenues end up a lot lower than what the subscription model would pay.

What is the performance in ML workloads like on AMD APUs compared to Apple Silicon?

There are operations that put cryptominers into any unauthenticated remote desktops they can find. Ask me how I know... Way friendlier than wiping your data though.

Cameras unintentionally left open would be much more typical if this was not the default. I agree that it still should be possible to have it off in every meeting after changing some setting, though.

In Germany I believe the tradeoff is that you don't need to do any paperwork with your grid operator when you add a balcony powerplant, but then you're not reimbursed for the power you sell either. If you would do the paperwork, you would be paid with the excess power and could install bigger plant too. The _balcony_ implies that this is for small scale.

It's a real KDE Plasma desktop too, not some joke that is just there to check a box!

They send everything to archive.org and the data is eventually included in the Wayback Machine.

ArchiveTeam (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/) fairly routinely makes archival blitzes on dying forums. If there's any forewarning of such on a forum you frequent, let them know.

In my case I tried to work on Windows with some ThinkPad 5ish years ago when I got annoyed of unrealiable docking behaviour on Linux. It turned out it was flaky hardware of firmware on the Lenovo dock and it didn't work appreciably better on Windows.

I went through the list of open source licences in my VW ID and was pleasantly surprised that bash-completion is included. So when I gain shell in my car, I should be able to use tab completion! These lists are often quite interesting.

Seconded. 1.44 megabytes is not that much, DSL was very impressive on that storage budget. I wonder how small a Linux system is possible these days, even without any GUI functionality.
