I know github would probably steal it (I have my own forgejo server). Didn’t know about VS code doing that. You have any source for that? I guess proprietary MS plugins might do so, but surely there would be backlash if the open source version did so. So I hope using Code OSS would be fine. Might switch to vscodium though, which shouldn’t phone home at all.

I’d also add this reason (in addition to embarrasement): I don’t open source my stuff because I know microsoft will “steal it” to train copilot.

A) This. We should stop making this a EV thing. It’s a modern car thing. Electric drivetrain in its essence, is a simple and reliable technology. Its everything else surrounding it thats the issue.

Even if AI successfully replaces workers, it is doomed to fail. Because if everyone is replaced by AI, who is going to pay for the products/services from the companies anymore? It’s all about being the first one to replace their workers with AI, for short term profit until society collapse.

The problem with using touch in a car is that you’re supposed to look at the road, not at a screen. Whether something is easily controllable could be a matter of life and death. Something physical you can reach by muscle memory is safer in this context. So yeah the basic controls should be tactile and intuitive. Anyones grandma should be able to figure out how to turn on the wipers if the rain sensor didn’t do its job. Or adjust the fan quickly if the window fogs up.

I think/hope this will change in the future. There’s been a lot of backlash against touch screens, touch buttons, subscriptions for basic functionality, etc. The car industry is struggling right now. At some point I think they will have to make simpler EVs, because normies don’t want ipads on wheels. They want something reliable and familiar that won’t break the bank.

Aschhually the most used JS engine is made in C++ (v8)

Perhaps this could be used to jailbreak the PS5 🤔

Yeah I have an xperia 5 iii. It’s not compact, it’s just narrow (seriously hate the ultra wide phone displays). Also heavy as a brick.

I’ve played all sims games and all work on linux with wine. Sims 1 is the hardest to get to work because you need a CD crack to get it to run. Sims 2 and newer works great in my experience. I’d recommend using Bottles to install Sims 2. You can install it from CD and play it like normal. Need some tweaks to get widescreen though (but you have that issue on windows as well).

Sims 3 I’ve played in bottles through the EA app (I own a digital copy there). Worked out of the box (bottles has a way to install the ea store app easily). Sims 4 I’ve played on steam (using proton).

I think realtime is on mainline now since 6.12 though so anyone with at least 6.12 should be able to use rt functionality.

I’ll continue to call it forge joe. It’s more cute. It’s like “where do I put these files?” “Just give them to Joe, he’ll know where to store them”.

In ~/src Mostly because I’m too lazy to type “source”.

Kinda not what you’re asking about but pop OS does provide an nvidia version of the ISO, so you wouldn’t need to configure anything in the first place if you chose the correct ISO. Same with nobara, and probably other gaming focused distros.

Might be related to those sleep state stuff that microsoft keep pushing. I think LTT has a video about how it causes battery to drain while off. I think the solution was either shutting it down while unplugged, or while plugged in or something. If you always shut the laptop down with the charger plugged in try to unplug the charger before shutting it down and see if it makes a difference. Or the opposite. I don’t remember which it was.

To be fair I haven’t configured a firewall either on my laptop. But that’s out of lazyness, not out of good practice. Good practice would be to have a firewall enabled. Just because something is unlikely to happen statistically doesn’t mean it’s bad practice to take steps to protect against it.

I fail to see why this is bad advice. Sure you could just disable the firewall on your computer on a local network. But that’s under the assumption that you can trust everything on your local network. What if it’s a laptop? Do you also trust any public networks you may connect to on the go? Having firewall both on the router and on your computer provides an additional layer of security, and I think that’s good advice in general. You can for example set it up to only allow incoming connections when connected to your home network for example.

I think the author of the article just haven’t understood how to use the ? operator yet, and don’t think they deserve being called “utterly incompetent” for it. Whether something is a monad or not is not necessarily something a programmer should have to think about on a daily basis IMO.

I just think of rust errors as a tagged enum with either a value or an error. And the ? operator as syntax sugar for returning if something was an error. IMO that simple understanding is sufficient to do error handling in Rust. I don’t think we should gatekeep programming behind some intellectual barrier of whether or not you understand category theory. I certainly don’t understand what a monad is, but I can still write working software and do error handling without unwraps.

Oh that’s good then. I think they stopped using whitelists a while ago, so if it is slotted you can probably replace it with anything. Maybe they reversed course on soldered modules then, or perhaps it only applied to some models. I looked into specs of the T16 at some point, and that one had soldered wifi module.

A lot of the modern thinkpads have the wifi module soldered to the motherboard nowadays unfortunately. Sad that they would use these crappy realtek cards in the first place as well.
