Surely the federal government doesn’t actually have the authority to mandate this. Business regulations are always a state matter.

For most robots in factories the safety system is don’t go near it. Because no one can guarantee that the robot will stop in time.

It’ll just be that a lot of password systems insist on a number in a special character.

There was a post on here a while ago about the most popular four digit PIN numbers. I think the top five were

1234
7890
1212
1111
And 1701

We’re are all so original

For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn’t even pick up on it.

I’ve changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we’re all fine now.

I’m extremely tempted to “hack” the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.

A deal with Russia isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

This war is only even possible because they’ve already violated an agreement they had with Ukraine. It would be insane for Ukraine to agree to a different deal for safety when they already did that and got back stabbed.

Meanwhile Europe will push Ukraine not to sign the deal (not that much persuasion will be necessary) because Europe doesn’t want to set the precedent that Russia can just eat away at Europe.

As for the threat from the US that Ukraine will get a worse deal if they don’t sign, given how crap the current deal is, I can’t see how it could reasonably get any worse, unless it’s total surrender, but that won’t fly because there would be literally no point even considering that. The Trump administration really are useless at negotiating, they think they can strong arm Ukraine, but they don’t actually have any cards.

I give it 6 months until they forget their password or something and their entire empire collapses until they can get someone out from IT to fix it, but first they have to log a ticket or else no work is being done.

Last month they broke audio drivers, so USB connected speakers were not being recognised unless they had third-party drivers. The native windows drivers just stopped recognising them as audio devices, and just listed them as Unknown Device.

Windows could see them, it had no idea what they were, or what to do with them. So you had no audio.

The only solution was to continuously restart until eventually it randomly worked.

They’re just generic error messages though. If you actually want to know what went wrong you have to go into the error log, which hopefully you actually have access to. If it just blue screens on boot your SOL unless you’re in a corporate environment with external logs.

It’s like this with a blue screen. You used to tell you what went wrong but now it just shows a :-( Which is pathetic.

Not that they’re going to fix any of them though.

I’m confused about how any of this can be cloudflares fault. That’s like blaming the electricity supplier because someone is using that electricity to grow weed.

People need a system that is capable of all things, it needs to be able to run games but it also at the same time needs to be able to open the word document your manager has sent you.

If it cannot do both of those things it is not an operating system, it’s a games console. Which is a fun thing to own, but it’s not the same thing as a fully fledged computer. He fully capable operating system is necessary in order to replace a windows system. In order to replace Microsoft it has to do all of the jobs of windows, or else it will never succeed.

I mean it kind of is. If I have a gaming focused operating system it still needs to occasionally be able to do all the other computer things otherwise I have to have two computers or dual boot or something. If I had a console I would still need a computer, well the saying this can be all things and we can just switch from windows to this, so it also has to be able to do all of the other stuff too.

He makes Nazis look bad.

But somehow his money will still be extremely relevant.

The billionaires are not going to save us from the billionaires. If we get AGI they absolutely won’t roll it out to the masses, they’ll keep it a secret and just use it within their own businesses.

So steamOS is in fact not an operating system it’s just a program that runs on plasma. Or is steamOS actually an operating system, but just quite a limited one, and you dual boot into plasma.

I’m still bit confused about steamOS, I thought it was supposed to be a full on operating system for gaming centric PCs but it seems to need Plasma in order to do any traditional computer things.

They know this, it’s not like any of this is a revelation. But the company has been lazy and would rather just test in production because that’s cheaper and most of the time perfectly fine.
