But surely, latency is all about "placebo" and "vibes" and "feel" is it not?
Not sure if I can follow but...no?! My first TFT-TV had 2 seconds input lag. Impossible to play video games on it. That has nothing to do with feelings.
Already 10ms delay has a measurable effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qjSGEOEaXo
I know it's "just" AI but one could think there is a forkable project out there. I have seen like tenths of projects like this. OPs explanation is different though. Usually the line is "inspired by movie".
Asked your Clanker what a joke is.
The industrial process behind that recently got optimized. They could become commonplace.
They have binary updates by now. No more need to download the source from CVS and compile fixes.
You can update from one OS version to the next with manly only one command.
Don't make it public facing! Put it behind a VPN!!
They once had offerings for dedicated servers without hard drivers. They did network boot from NFS. So the costs where between a full dedicated server and a virtual one. Sadly it was very badly engineered. Small disk IO was so bad that you basically couldn't run MySQL. I did run a MX. For every mail postfix would complained that the filesystem did run a few secondes in the future. At some point they gave up and stuck a USB stick into every server.
It was dead by thousand cuts and put a bad taste in my mouth. But I have to admit that was a long time ago and I should probably give them another chance.
hm ok. Still, my misunderstanding helped me to write TI-Basic programs that no longer crashed. :-)
But isn't that just how the world works? As kid I got ERR:MEMORY allot while trying to create games. It was until I started to read a C book which said "We will not use goto in this book. It is a dangerous function that can lead to memory leaks. For example if you jump out of a function, said function will stay in memory because it never finishes." That was the light bulb moment for my TI-Basic problems.
For me the bad part is that the official TI-83 manual has a code example for the GETKEY function that is using GOTO to jump out of a loop.
The long-lived credentials life inside a stripped down machine. Cron/lego/Ansible handles the renewal. The machines on the edge can't renew their keys themselves.
Sadly you are right. They are billing my Euro charges from a UK (non Euro) bank, which adds 2% money exchange fee on everything.
Do you download the cross-compiled executable via http or smb to the Windows machine? If so than it most likely got earmarked with a NTFS alternate data stream.
File Settings > This file come from another computer: Unblock
PowerShell > Unblock-File
Add your smb file share as trusted: Internet Properties > Security > Local Intranet > Sites
I hate it too that you need to sign software that you want to publish. Totally destroys the economics of little shareware type software.
If you poke it a little you will eventually get Java exceptions. Because the AI article is lying. It is not 60 year old code running on unchanged bare metal. Things got reimplemented over time.
It happend to me when i created my account in 2025. Within seconds of verifying the address I got a email that my account was band for TOS violation. I than created a seconds account (within minutes from the same IP) only writing "dc" instead of "discord" and that worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There are some big brain companies who will block you if their name appears in the email address. Like Discord. You can create an account, with discrod@example.com. But a seconde later you will get an email that your account got band.
They know their way around IT security! /s
What is infuriating is that programmers that make 6 figures not knowing the diff between AppData\Local and \Roaming.
I'm the ass that gets the support call. I'm getting accused of delivering shit. I'm the guy that needs to write workaround scripts.
Uninstalling an application would mean just deleting all the objects in its package. The files would be gone and any configuration settings with them.
Applications developers of the world. Please always make "keep configuration" an option with your uninstallers! I don't like the mobilification of PCs. For example, because of some issues, I wanted to try a different version of Thunderbird. I had the Snap version. Uninstalling it meant losing all its mails. I wasn't expecting that. Like at all!
For the longest time SharePoint's central volume could only go up to 4GB. Going above required to combine multiple volumes.
So having a limit of 64GB per file doesn't sound so bad.
At my "traditional" bank I even need the TAN generator for my phone. While at my "neo" bank I even need the phone app to access the website. :-) (That is how the neo bank tricked me. I read "website access" in their ad and thought I could still access the bank account if I lose my phone. But no, you can't login without the app.)
I like to implement independent mail systems. No SSO BS. IT enters the password into the mail client while setting up the laptop and phone. The boss can't be phished if he doesn't know his password (or if the password has no use on the internet).
I also like to put everything behind a VPN (again no SSO). But the bigger the company gets, sooner or later this will come to an end. Because it's not "best practice" to not be phishable. Apparently what is needed are layers and layers of BS "security" products that can be tricked by a kid that has heard of JS. https://browser.security
The source for the "private APIs" is the government run MTS-K.

If you login to the exchange online admin center you first have to complete a short "on-rails-shooter" video game. They constantly shuffle shit around and want to give you a tour via popups about it.
I have the admin accounts for multiple companies, so I have to play the game repeatedly.
Spotify means infinite browsing, algorithm recommendations, and "Dad, how do I get back to my song?"
I hope you are successful and eventually go after video content too. Imagine a Youtube app without infinite browsing or the algo and a "you can watch 3 videos this weekend"-counter/countdown.
To get them onto Telegram, where group chat is not encrypted, is a win by whatever three-letter agency pulled that off. ;-)
DNS servers can take the IP address of the client into account. If you query a record for amazon.com from the USA you will get a different answer than from Europe. (And you don't need anycast for that.)
That the client information doesn't get lost when it goes through different resolvers the DNS extension EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) was invented.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDNS_Client_Subnet
explains it better than me. The whole point of the extension is to make geo-guessing the original client over DNS more stable.
Now you can have privacy conscious DNS servers that strip the ECS information (or mess with it somehow) and instead of the server closest to you you get the global fallback for example. (controld.com goes as far to say "switch countries without a VPN" by only messing with ECS. No idea how stable that is though.)
I wanted to correct you but than I stopped myself because I'm not sure if you meant that sarcastically. Because with a /s at the end your post makes sense.
The default remote desktop client on Windows 11 can have his picture freeze. Mouse and keyboard input still goes through though. (Which is especially dangerous because enraged users will smash their keyboard.) Years without a fix from Microsoft. Just a registry hack as a workaround.
Hm, I'm a KDE user. I just tested what happens when I try to open a folder I don't have access rights for. The standard file browser Dolphin says authentication is required. "Act as administrator." If clicked there comes a warning and I can enter my password. Than it shows the content.

This feature exists since 2022.
Facetiously: Well actually, you didn't need a driver for the SATA drive but the SATA controller.
Something that was also true for Windows and such a common problem that many BIOSes would offer a IDE compatibility mode one could switch to.
26 years ago I installed SUSE and it just worked on my self build PC. Smooth sailing all around. Than I tried Debian and couldn't for the life of me get X11 to work.
So yeah, the distro and hardware lottery is still a problem.
