i do think it's funny that any company that wants a huge influx of extremely good engineers could just say "we are not doing ai" on the careers site

TIL, the SD card specification allows cards to report they support a maximum current consumption of… 65 amps

The neat thing about Sony's FD-series Mavica cameras is they save photos to actual IBM/DOS/Windows formatted MF2HD floppy disks, and the cheap USB floppy drives commonly available today have no trouble reading them.

They're JPEGs with some quality sacrificed to save a dozen or so per disk, but even way back in the Y2K panic days, they were easier to get pictures out of than USB or parallel port digital cameras needing special drivers and software for their cables.

I tried putting the SSD in a 2.5-inch to 3.5 inch laptop-to-desktop drive adapter, but there was simply not enough space between the drive cage and PSU for that and the IDE-to-SATA adapter as well. Not even if they were forced in enough to cause damage.

Most of the time I know my right from my left. The first inside picture description was not one of those times.

The insides, although pretty much entirely proprietary, is surprisingly accessible. The only things needing a screwdriver to remove are the expansion cards.

The most annoying proprietary problem is the CD/DVD cable: I'm pretty sure it has the right number of pins for an IDE cable, but both ends are smaller and the pins thinner and more closely spaced than standard IDE connectors.

Also, the DVD-ROM drive is the only thing with a date code I could find: It was made in 2000.

I'm amazed that the fix for the port multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins (and friends) failing to build for upgrade on :

ld: error: undefined symbol: gst_udmabuf_allocator_get_type

...is still to uninstall it first, then install it anew:

make -C /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins deinstall clean build install clean && pkg set -yA 1 gstreamer1-plugins

Do y'all remember that era of the internet when furries were widely seen as a super weird and cringe community? During that time I remember many furries making apologetic videos trying to make the community seem more "normal" by claiming that the majority of furries are straight and don't consider the fandom sexual *at all* and like.. come on. That was dumb and also seriously had the vibes of throwing all the "weird furries" under the bus to gain acceptance. The furry community broadly speaking is very queer, very neurodivergent and very kinky and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm glad we're no longer pretending otherwise to such a degree.

Happy 40th birthday, ZMODEM! On May 20, 1986 the ZMODEM protocol specification was posted on Usenet by Chuck Forsberg of Omen Technology.

If you used a BBS before the Internet you might get nostalgic. Otherwise you probably have no idea what this is about (and that’s fine).

#Capitalism gives us the illusion of independence. It's a very alluring lie. And we're trained to tie our self-worth to our degree of independence.

The coming crises will be easier if we don't wait to do the inner work of recognizing our interdependence and the outer work of strengthening our communal support networks.
