Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

  • "Daily" dumps of customer data
  • The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

Some folk art style #illustration I did months ago but only now I scanned. I bought this new #Epson scanner, and it's so much better than my 20 year old one! So much more dynamic range, for starters! And better colors. Happy to see Sane under #Linux supporting it fully.

During lunch a friend mentioned that you can just supply a HTTP URL to vim on the command line and it would use curl to download that resource and allow you to edit the content. I jokingly asked whether if you enter :w it would then issue a HTTP POST back to the origin which is of course ridiculous.

It issues a PUT

[SOLVED, thanks!] Electronics help, please. This is a 48vdc to 12vdc converter. There's nothing to tell me which wire is the 48vdc in, 12vdc out, and the ground. Can anyone tell which is which looking at this circuit? It's Chinese made. Thanks!

The gradual obliteration of theme customization in everyday software is one of the things I regret the most, whenever I think about how we interacted with computers as I was growing up.

The vast majority of today's kids will never leave the sanitized computer experience of auto white/dark themes and hamburger menus. Having their local music player (no internet required, what a concept!) wrapped in a Kare Kano skin (🤍) would be unthinkable.

And yet, there's more soul in this single skin made by a random person just for the fun of it than in all the legions of UI/UX designers justifying their existence through ad placement maximization metrics.

While all the big companies are crunching on thousands of CPUs and GPUs to help you give you an AI assistant that can give you a chart I am writing shell scripts using gnuplot to feed my ledger data into.

Hahaha, this is so ridiculous. The contrast of it alone.

@Anachron what really annoys me is that GPUs with their massive parallelism would enable really cool algorithms but nobody is researching those anymore as all the (grant) money is in AI memery. we really live in the most bullshit future imaginable.

136 pages into Darth Plagueis by James Luceno, I look up from the book, shake my head, and say to myself: "I'm starting to believe that this Darth Plagueis fellow is up to no good"

I hate this thing that English does where a paragraph in direct speech starts with a quotation mark but doesn't end with one

Like @Quinnypig, I’d love if Google went on the record about what happened with this one.

https://www.unisuper.com.au/contact-us/outage-update

Tl;dr is an entire org got wiped, and they’re trying to suggest it’s some kind of Google Cloud issue as the cause.

Google Cloud (GCP) CEO has gone on the record now and said directly they accidentally deleted a $125bn business cloud estate in error. https://qz.com/google-cloud-pension-fund-unisuper-1851472990

A config mistake at Google’s end led to their VMs being deleted.
