Paternoster Lift 5 years ago

I worked in an agency that had one of these in germany. You are not allowed to build new ones but the ones that are installed can still be used. It's kinda scary for the first three or four times but after that it's an amazing use of transportation in an office. The thing that most people freaks out is going over the turn because everything is dark and you see the motors directly in front of your face.

We dressed ours up as tunnel of horror on halloween, good times.

I use a Asrock J3355B for my little nas/homeserver it idles at 8W and "spikes" to 15W while decoding movies. It's a bit pricier as a raspi but it has a lot more features. 2 Sata Ports, PCIEX Slot up to 16gb ram etc but most important it is completely silent.

There is holocaust denying, calls to kill blacks and rape fantasies about female politicians and movie stars. There are literal calls for the rise of the white race to eradicate everyone else on the front page of gab daily. If you want to defend shit like this on the merit of free speech the probability that you are in fact a white nationalist are not to far.

And the history is plastered with censorship the world was never more free than it is now you are just repeating non facts without even doing a hint of research.

It's cloudflare they are the providers of ddos protection of all the white supremacist forums you can think of or don't even want to think of. As cmo you must be sweating right now. Pride Month, Black Lives Matter and Mental Health Week. What should I tweet on the corporate accounts today? If it wasn't so sad it would be actually funny.

Linux Sucks 2020 6 years ago

It's a yearly skit he does in front of a live audience and because of covid he did it in a video. In written form you might actually think he is serious.

Is it growing up? For me it’s more that everyone reads books like „How to brand yourself on the internet“ that’s why there is no personality left... the same goes for quirky software there is not much coming because everyone writes a sideproject notetaking electron app because it’s something everyone wants and can relate too. The problem with the modern web is not growing up it is the loss of personality.

Sorry, but especially on servers amd has a better track record with reliability. You are right with missing optimizations on some software stacks but that’s not a long haul it’s just that nobody saw the need to do it until now. Don’t forget all the loss of performance from spectre mitigation a lot of datacenters lost up too 25% performance overnight. Everyone is going amd. Google/Facebook/Disney/Pixar...

It’s a perfectly capable drawing device with sidecar even more. A lot of professional artists switched from Wacom to the iPad and now with sidecar they forced Wacom to make a device for just 499$ which is about 500 cheaper than before. There is a market and a use case it is just not yours.

the whole magnet and hard drives thing is a really old hoax. with normal household magnets or even strong neodym magnets nothing will happen to your data but if you have a really strong industrial electro magnet at hand you can wipe a drive with it...

here is an old national geographics video on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8LWTe5CqQg
