I always thought of it more like “give me some motivation to add more stuff” in that “I turn coffee into code” sense.

I think if it’s going on every windows computer

It’s not, its just popular. Its not windows job to police what software you choose to run on it.

However Windows does actually have an optional certification program called WHQL for kernal level drivers. Getting this certification lets updates get posted via windows’ internal updater. It checks the driver calls apis correctly and doesn’t misbehave with interrupt handling among other tests. Crowdstrike driver did pass this, and in fact there was no bug with the driver, the bug was with the configuration file. The configuration file updates about once an hour (and it really needs to do that), and does so outside the windows update process, making windows powerless to control its rollout. whql certification takes a few days to run and configuration files aren’t really in scope.

You wouldn’t neccesarily need to pay attention to the master and all, probably easier to request the video twice from youtube, detect the bits that don’t change, skip timestamps around to only play those bits. Might have a bit of a failure rate if the same ad is served twice, and youtube could fight back by letting creators make slightly different video versions but still better than nothing.

While dramatic, a single engine failing on a commercial flight is not really all that big of a deal, there is a reason they are built with a large amount of redundancy.

According to this the failure rate for the whole industry is about 1 every 375000 flight hours.

This is very back the napkin math, but there are roughly 100k commercial airline pilots in the usa alone, and about 3 pilots per plane. So if they are doing more than 9hours of flight each you’d except one of them to experience an engine failure.

I’m not saying Boeing doesn’t have some problems, the 737max should put some key decision makers in Jail, but these sorts of articles are just feeding into confirmation bias.

I am a younger millenial and didnt have a cell phone until they got smart but most of the people I knew in highschool had blackberries or their knockoffs which had full keyboards. I still passed the capatcha though.

Skibidi toilet is actually one of the first gen alpha memes, not gen z.

Iran said that after tonight’s attack, the “matter can be deemed concluded” unless there is more violence.

So hopefully not something that will escalate further

About 31 people were treated for anxiety or injuries they sustained while heading to a protected area when sirens sounded.

Fucking lol.

One of the big changes is in fugitive emmissions (basically leaky natural gas pipes), we found that fugitive emmissions were much (2-3x in north america) greater than expected, making natural gas as bad as coal in some scenarios. Turns out having o&g self report with no oversight leads to them underestimating their numbers.

It’s a lot, but less than most single pot plants will yield (typically 100-200g, but sometimes a lot more), I imagine that might be annoying for people who grow their own, but then again I don’t see how it can really be enforced.

Is someone high up in the decision making process a huge art lover or something? It seems like he is just setting fire to a huge pile of money otherwise.

For context 500 000 tonnes of the water was released in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. This is a literally a drop in the ocean.

Homeostasis, when we plastic crisis our way into solving the climate crisis :D

I’m only half joking.

Borosilicate glass fits the ticket (what pyrex is made of) but is quite expensive.

Something that has been SEO’d for Google is still going to feature prominantly on ddg or bing. There are other reasons to switch off Google, but seo isn’t going to stop being a problem.

I mean if the goal was indeed so ridiculous as shutting Twitter down, it would be easy as shutting it down.

But that wouldn’t work. If the community was snuffed out in a day then it would move to some clone pretty easily. It dying slowly means the community is divided and diluted many ways.

1K a month is pretty trivial compared to the cost of all the public money used to punish them (e.g cops). Even if you don’t care about the humanity aspect at all UBI makes sense just from a pure numbers perspective.
