I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.

It’s fantastic

Considering the community, I think catting 156 GB to grep and calling it fastWikiLookup is a subtle joke about how absurd this is.

The raw comment is this:

[Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅

It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as

[Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

If they have an ad read in the video, like a creator saying the video is sponsored by XYZ Corp, those could also be paid based on views of the video (in addition to the ad impressions by YouTube). Those ads are handled externally from YouTube’s ad platform, but they do rely on YouTube analytics and views being reported as legitimate.

Yeah, Honey is just exacerbating the inherent flaws in the system, and most of it can be dealt with having a limit of coupon usage and expiration of the coupons.

The thing which really upset me is advertisers pulling money from podcasts which have referral codes because of abuse from Honey. I’m not a fan of advertisements, but the referal codes were a simple solution since there’s no way to accurately measure if an ad was listened to. Honey causing advertisers to pull support for podcasts just pushes podcasts to closed ecosystems with more tracking and analytics, and takes money away from Podcasters.

Unless we can prevent 100% of firearm deaths, we shouldn’t take any action /s

I think your best bet is to disable suggesting any contacts from the system settings. The setting is called “Show contacts when sharing content” and will affect all apps. It’s not ideal, but there’s no way I can tell to ignore/dismiss specific contacts from the share menu.

FWIW with virus total, you don’t even need to upload the file, just provide the hash to see if is known to virus total. The name may be auto generated which wouldn’t help much in searching, but the hash is based on the file contents.

I would go into the Outlook app and clear the storage and cache and see if that helps. If you don’t want any contacts to show in the list, you can disable “Show contacts when sharing content” if you search for this in settings.

They are requiring Plex Pass for all remote sessions, even ones which don’t go through plex servers, where your client connects to your remote plex server directly. IMO, this should not require Plex Pass if the remote stream is not going through Plex’s server.

Also since the April 2025 update where they required the payment, the “new experience” apps have been terrible, and people have been side loading the old apps because they retain core functionality. Maybe there was a technical reason to release new apps to enforce the Plex Pass requirements, but it has been a terrible experience being told to pay money and then getting a worse experience, compared to what was free a year ago.

Assuming this is in the United States of America, this is not necessarily true based on a recent supreme court case, Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy, the U.S. Supreme:

https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2024/05/supreme-court-clarifies-that-copyright-damages-are-not-limited-to-three-years

On May 9, 2024, in Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that a copyright owner is entitled to monetary relief for timely infringement claims — i.e., claims brought within the Copyright Act’s statute of limitations — no matter when the infringement occurred. This could potentially allow some plaintiffs to claim damages stretching back many years into the past.

The majority “assum[ed] without deciding that a claim is timely under [Section 507(b)] if brought within three years of when the plaintiff discovered an infringement, no matter when the infringement happened.”

Yeah, seems like investment in Energy sector has had the biggest increase over the last 5 years. Don’t invest in the guy mining for gold, invest in the guy selling pick axes

Wow this is so good. Love the judge in this case:

Proven had demanded a preliminary injunction that would stop McNally from sharing his videos while the case progressed, but Proven had issues right from the opening gavel:

LAWYER 1: Austin Nowacki on behalf of Proven industries.

THE COURT: I’m sorry. What is your name?

LAWYER 1: Austin Nowacki.

THE COURT: I thought you said Austin No Idea.

LAWYER 2: That’s Austin Nowacki.

THE COURT: All right.

When Proven’s lead lawyer introduced a colleague who would lead that morning’s arguments, the judge snapped, “Okay. Then you have a seat and let her speak.”

I’d like to believe, but the source for the article is a random Medium article which claims there were leaked document, but the headline is clearly click bait. The medium post doesn’t go into any details about this, it just outlines some open source tools with “ai” to do basic tasks to run your infrastructure in AWS, not what any engineer working for AWS would actually be doing.
