Dystopian? Or just the beta version?

I think there’s two parts to modern electronics that make them hard to repair.

One is indeed planned obsolescence, companies like apple deliberately making things harder to repair. This is easy to solve, but what’s in it for businesses that only exist to make money when the average consumer is happy to suck this crap up?

But there is a non deliberate side. So many things that used to be modules built with discrete components have been moved to a single chip. Radio parts is an example, they used to requir a lot more external discrete parts and you can now get a single chip doing Bluetooth, WiFi etc with minimal external components.

As more goes to a single chip, it’s single expensive parts that can fail rather than what might have been a single capacitor or resistor failing in a larger circuit.

Of course the planned obsolescence uses this by making custom chips that you literally cannot buy if you wanted to. But there is still a legitimate side to this.

So, just going to say. I feel like this violates rule 1: (Not United States Internal News)

In any case, as an outsider I feel like it’s more than obvious that the step up in activities and rhetoric is a direct response to the realisation that there’s mid-terms coming this year and as it stands they will lose hugely.

So yes, they want to either take control of the voting, or even better stop the election entirely. This is what is being worked towards right now, just from me looking from the outside in.

My eyesight is shot now. Pretty much all soldering I do with a microscope that has daylight LEDs on anyway.

I don’t know. I feel like I’m more alert and the brain is more active with 4k+ in the day time (on days when there’s low light outside). But in the evening I want it down to 2700k or so, in order to get a proper sleep cycle.

Or, and hear me out. Get one that you can change. On a gloomy day, during the daytime have it at daylight white. In the evening a nice 2700k.

I thought we already had that, the NCA? We don’t generally need “federal” level stuff because we don’t have different laws.

There’s some difference in trial process and civil laws (someone can correct me if there’s a real difference in criminal law, I don’t think there is though) between the countries making up the UK. But we don’t have the whole entanglement of State law vs Federal law.

So, there’s no need for anything more than what we already have which only really need to work to bring the regional forces together on serious cases.

I’m always reminded of the scene in The newsroom, where they have the guy from the epa who essentially says it’s already too late to save us from climate oblivion. They wanted him to calm the message and played down the doom.

That was from 2012.

Nothing has changed at all. Humans are rubbish at dealing with problems that are more than a year or so down the road.

I’ve known six year old children to have more maturity than this. “I’m going to invade Greenland because I didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize” is what this boils down to.

A literal child is in charge of the most powerful single country in the world.

Peter Backman, CEO of theDelivery.World, said the practice was only misleading if customers were purposely trying to support independent restaurants and takeaways.

That’s some high grade bullshit. There is going to be a subset of people (and I’d argue it’s a growing number) that want to support local businesses and so yes it’s misleading to all those people.

But more than that. A corporate/franchise brand has such a huge value they will sue you if you use it without permission. So if they’re choosing not to use a brand they paid good money to use, it can only be because they want to deceive.

I’d say the ideal situation is that tools are developed library first, then cli or gui as preferred allowing others to pick up the slack and make the other tool (or tools) using the functions in the library.

One of the reasons automation is so much easier on linux than windows is because there are many more cli tools to do things. On windows many tools are gui first and cannot easily be automated.

I’m not sure I’ve seen people fired for being too productive directly. It’s absolutely not a metric they care about though. I’ve seen them get rid of people that cost too much not caring how much product knowledge that they couldn’t hand over in any reasonable time with no suitable replacement.

I remember it used to be “Oh, not much in terms of payrises this year. The business isn’t doing so well”. Now they just don’t care enough to even lie to you.

It’s “Another record breaking year, amazing work team, except that team, you’re all redundant now. Also everyone else, sorry only 1% raise left for you from our record breaking year. Also, there’s now a whole team’s worth of work to pick up. Chop chop”

“Sources close to Rubina’s family, citing eyewitnesses, told Iran Human Rights that the young Kurdish woman from Marivan was shot from close range from behind, with the bullet striking her head,” the group said in a statement.

Shot in the head, from behind at close range. Don’t we have a word for that? Pretty sure we call that an execution.

That’s weird. Whenever I’ve had gpu drivers fail the environment didn’t come up and I would be left at a terminal.

But, they shouldn’t need rescue. The issue is no nvidia driver, but you can still login from the text terminals. Ctrl + Alt + F3, F4 etc etc. In fact when the window environment fails to load it should drop back to terminal.

I have a 3080, so 590 is fine for me. But, I’m sure the legacy one is a dkms. But the process of installing that should be done as part of the install. E.g. you install, reboot

What does lspci -k show for the card in terms of Kernel driver in use, and kernel modules? Also what does dkms status say?

If the module is installed and showing in dkms status and showing as used in lspci -k, it should be available for desktop environments.

I do agree in terms of effort when things go wrong though. I remember when I was a lot younger and I had no problems just sitting in front of my keyboard finding whatever the latest problem is. Now, I want to be doing things with my PC.

But, a bit of debugging might be worthwhile before doing a new installation.

Did you also uninstall all of the components of the new driver as per the arch site?

https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/

Otherwise it’s investigate from the tty as to what driver, if any is in use for the gpu pci device.

Wait, this wasnt the reason utf8 support was added to most databases?

Going to be honest, with that many records and such a short primary key, she’s running the risk of duplicate key issues.
