The average user uses sleep mode and wakes from sleep. Sleep mode should be under 10w, or around $1/mo.

though laptops are notorious for proprietary charging.

I’ve seen dells that can charge via USBc at full 140w but only on a Dell dock. On any USB PD charger it will only do 60w, and complains about it as it throttles everything.

You’re not wrong, but in my case and presumably others there already are USB ports and relevant drivers for both playback of media files, and funny enough for applying security patches or other updates.

In practice I think the concern becomes most USB storage devices are not intended to be constantly written to, while vibrating from the car, and it would definitely destroy data and cause support complaints. But it’s still annoying all the hardware and most of the software I want is there and wouldn’t take that much more to do what i want… but instead if they ever do decide to let us use the built in cameras as a dashcam, I expect it will require replacing my entire car with a new model

same but that also just brings up another rant about modern cars. mine has surround view cameras -so you can see a birds eye view when parking. it’s really nice. but then why do I have to suction cup a dash cam right next to the built in camera and run a USB cable around my car? please just let us plug in a USB storage device and use the built in cameras as a dash cam.

maybe? it’s impossible to predict what effects that would have resulted in but what we ended up with now isn’t exactly great.

your options now are either full subscription only, with little audience and a huge barrier to get users as you have tonconvince them it’s worth a full size payment.

or convince someone else to pay you, e.g referral links and sponsored posts. this leads to low quality ‘reviews’ where the best affiliate program wins.

or put advertisers content in your site…and deal with people blocking it, and all the seo spam to get viewers onto those ads…

or…monetize your service by harvesting data on your users to then sell to whoever is willing to pay you for that data…also not good.

maybe if we figured out micropayments early we could have avoided some of that. or maybe we’d just have all of that on top of micropayments. or something even worse to maximize micropayments.

well yes, but it’s profitable because customers continue to buy their products and services.

the problem with blaming companies is none of them do this out of desire to hurt the environment. they do it to meet customer demand.

as an example imagine if we all stopped buying gas from Shell. their environmental impact would plummet…and their competitors impact would go up as we continue to buy the same amount of gas from other companies

growing it like a garden is a perfect phrase imo

because on windows or Mac it may have just worked. …until it doesn’t, or leaves your windows scaled wrong or placed on monitors that don’t exist or some other failure condition. at which point you reboot and hope for the best.

when it doesn’t work on Linux I’d check logs, actual configuration, and even the source if I need to.and then I’d hopefully improve things and make it work the way I want it to.

there’s also the impact of having less consistency in hours. i.e if I work Friday and don’t work Monday but am blocked waiting for someone whondoesnt work friday…it’s waiting until Tuesday.

would Americans even consider that taking down the internet? It wouldn’t impact a US client talking to a US server.

using pet names, titles, or other things like that are useful in media when you want to convey the relationship.

Like when a movie has a man greet a woman. If he just said ‘hi jill’ you wouldn’t know who she is to him. If he says ‘hey babe’ you assume they’re in a relationship.

So idk what is actually more common in real situations but it’s easy to assume people only use pet names when you’re not going to see anyone’s actual one on one conversations

even just knowing enough to not consider clothes ruined when a button pops out or a tear forms would be nice

…any tips on getting in? I tried checking the store page to see if any friends have it and none of mine do 🙁

If adopt systems then the question is easy to answer: no, journald does everything you need.

without adopting systemd… well. Are you evaluating going without any log handling at all and maybe just dumping logs ephemerally to tty0? DIYing all log stuff like your init scripts DIY things?

Personally if I had to go without journald I’d probably go back to using syslog-ng. But I guess there’s an argument for shipping straight into something like opentelemetry-collector if you’re willing to put in a lot of work.

I don’t think that would help, I quite like our relative location.

Others have pointed out the concerns around negative reviews of things still subject to change, but the other aspect is just the relations with media.

I’m sure tons of journalists have been playing. And probably even working on content covering the game, but not publishing it yet. Once valve is ready for coverage they’ll have polished content ready. And valve can control the timing so that coverage happens right when they want the hype like maybe a few days before an open beta.

By covering it early you encourage other journalists to do the same, rushing out low quality content to get the views before others do. And for valve to not let any journalists see the game early to avoid this.

It’s similar. They did cause kernels to crash. But that’s because they hit and uncovered a bug in the ebpf sandboxing in the kernel, which has since been fixed

If anything the gap is bigger than ever as the top end shoes are basically performance enhancers like the nike airflys used to set most records…and their new vaporflys being banned in the Olympics.

I guess it’s better than hyper expensive shoes just being a paying for a brand thing?

walled gardens are only a little less awful when still supported

it does feel ambiguous though as even what you outlined misses a 4th case. if null means delete, how do I update it to set the field to null?
