Illecors,

Try looking for a specific serial number of the spare battery. Maybe there’s a factory that sells them to more companies than just samsung.

Illecors,

It’s actually a technical problem - Valve is running 1 bit computers that, due to binary origins, can only represent 2 states. They’d love to release hl3, but that would require coming up with the whole new architecture - at least doubling up to 2 bit cpu. Imagine the headache of adapting all the toolchain to build the game!

Illecors,

See, that’s a common mistake - MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding. Valve is, unfortunately, still stuck to integers. Their floating point appears to be functioning correctly as they’ve managed to avoid kernel panic releasing hl2e{1,2} - you can look at that as floats 2.1 and 2.2.

Illecors,

Got me there :D

Illecors,

Double check if you have the -modules and/or -modules-extra installed for that version of the kernel. Literally had this issue at work on a 14.04 (sigh, I know) box.

Illecors,

Wait, there’s someone here aware of hardened gentoo? Well I’ll be damned! Come out of the shadows, fellas!

Illecors,

Excuse me, sir, it’s the Gentoo bits that are supposed to be hard, not yours.

On an unrelated note - I’m building a binhost. Currently stuck on trying to figure out a way of building packages without instaling them and not using quickpkg>

Illecors,

Because that requires actually understanding the way a computer works.

Illecors,

@AdmiralPatrick has said it in a way I cannot improve much. I had a very similar timeline of despair and defederating .ml was like a breath of fresh air. There was a user or two questioning it, but in the end I’m very happy with the decision.

Illecors,

I’ve been pondering about responding to you. Since I can’t see this as some sort of irony - here goes.

I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. The shadow in your example would be bound by the speed of light, because the photons from the source of light are also bound by it.

A shadow is just a lack of photons on a surface surrounded by other photons.

Illecors,

Isn’t this where the guy in the yellow jacket lives?

Illecors,

I’ve actually watched it. Done in an enjoyable fashion, would recommend!

Illecors,

As someone who’s had 1 mk3:

  • charging port only works at an angle
  • fingerprint sensor died in a year
  • part of digitiser died within 2 years. Touch is dead on a vertical strip about a finger wide
  • camera is mediocre at the best of times
  • phone becomes laggy and stuttery when battery drops to 20%. Battery saver is not enabled - that’s just shit battery incapable of feeding the device.
  • charger died in about 18months
  • laggy on boot

It has some killer features like aspect ratio, front facing speakers and 3.5mm jack, but I cannot enjoy using the device.

Illecors,

No it won’t. That’s such a stupid thing to write about. I don’t remember tomshardware being this clickbaity.

Illecors,

I mean… Anyone speculating enabling server side encryption would’ve helped clearly has not got a clue. Such blog posts “explaining” this nonsense are not worth the electrons storing them.

Illecors,

It also hurts reddit. Fewer useful lookups on reddit - fewer visits to reddit.

Illecors,

You can run


<span style="color:#323232;">apt install package=version
</span>

to be explicit about it.

Illecors,

Nothing is ever gone. You can always install whatever bug-ridden version you want of anything.

Illecors,

Also fuck your company for not buying the license.

It’s worse than that. It was bought, as I’ve found out, but never applied. Naturally - lost to the whims of time.

It should be a mandatory purchase. Yes, but my issue is with this requiring the license in the first place. It’s just so petty and pathetic. There’s no technical barrier getting in the way - it’s the bloody suits looking for a payday.

Illecors,

iLO (HP branding) is a remote access service to a server that allows one to control said server. A completely separate circuit - a really neat thing. One of such controls is a remote console - you can connect to a server miles away as if you had a keyboard and screen attached to it locally. What HP has done was build the functionality, but disable it once the server has booted.

Illecors,

I know what you mean and I fully agree.

But.

This is a pathetic thing to do and I do not want anyone to think it is in any shape or form OK, acceptable or tolerable. Hardware is the money maker, not this bullshit. The server cost ~40k at the time, this license bollocks is a few hundred over the years. The inconvenience introduced will not, ever, pay off in the long run.

Illecors,

I guess London is not going to feel any difference - every other ebike is already run on a throttle and 5-600W motors. Cat’s out of the bag at this point, I suppose, but it really pisses me off when they’re whizzing around at silly speeds looking down at their damn phones.

Illecors,

Huh? This is such a useless comment. Says nothing and yet creates an excuse for idiots.

Murder is also better than mass-murder, yet I don’t think anyone would ever use such statement to justify it.
