Far be it from me to defend the Nazi car company, however:

While the results may seem like a damning indictment of Tesla, the report notes that the company has improved the build quality of its vehicles. All of its latest models now offer “better-than-average reliability,” and Tesla ranks among the top 10 brands in Consumer Reports’ new car predictability rankings, surpassing established automakers like Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen.

We’ve got representatives attacking the postal service for not being highly profitable. We aren’t at square one of investing in the public good even when it pays in the long run.

Costs are borne by all, but profits only for the few.

My dumbass wondering what a Tacophone is.

Really? I’ve been told by all my dudes into hardware that AMD is where it’s at for value. Plus, Intel has manufacturing issues. I’m sure there’s good deal out there if you look, but I feel dissonance between this article and what I hear in my circle.

Then, he is a fool. LLM technology has no fence around it. You can download and run one on your own hardware. The only reason a person would use their service is convenience access to a larger model.

What exactly do they mean when they say “AI?” Surely it isn’t an LLM.

Next month? I got a merry Christmas on Thanksgiving. I was insulted.

I appreciate a simple piece of software that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

It’s how you use it.

It’s not just that. Imagine the dependency management trying to hold onto 32 bit compatibility.

Cybersecurity compliance reasons.

This doesn’t look like Arch.

The “something worse” is CEOs giving zero fucks about the harm they cause to society at large.

The final stage is not caring at all what you think user. Only consume.

You joke, but I’ve used this at my last job. We cannot have the same login password and it told you the name of the conflicting accounts.

An unmanaged switch is a simple, zero-configuration network device that connects multiple Ethernet devices together. This is by far the most common type of switch because they’re cheaper to make and satisfy most needs in the home and small office. There are no settings to configure, and the device generally avoids inspecting the traffic it switches. Unmanaged switches are commodity products that are all pretty much same, varying only in the number of ports and speeds provided. These are made in large volumes.

Managed switches add a central processor (CPU) for device administration. This design enables configuration settings which is usually an important precursor to have features such as VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, and port security. Businesses need managed switches to implement security policies. In addition to the added hardware, businesses have deep pockets, and managed switches are no longer simple commodities because comparing the advanced feature set and software is no longer trivial. Professional managed switches can cost thousands.

Only recently have we seen pro-sumer switches occupy the space in between these two options by offering some managed features (VLANs) while reserving necessary enterprise features (port security, DHCP snooping, reporting) to segment the market. I bought one for $25 the other day which is almost the same as an unmanaged switch. I would no longer recommend buying an unmanaged switch to anyone with even a passing interest in home networking.

An intern at work once asked me what a CD was and I had to explain that it was a vinyl for computers.

WOO.
