News flash, most Americans were paycheck to paycheck before inflation, too.

Either they’re scared of competing with new intel NUC SOCs built on their 18A process, or this confirms their buyout of Intel is happening, and they’re preparing to exit from the laptop/SFF space.

What is your degree program? Or, what is your career path?

In general, when people say “Cisco” certs, they almost always mean CCNA, which is the associate level Cisco certification, and gives foundational network knowledge that is highly valuable and transferable to other IT and cyber fields.

Cisco CBROPS probably won’t get you in the door at a SOC without other work experience or certifications, unless the place is super aggressive about churning through SOC I analysts.

Now say the same for the 911 since 1998. Updated taillights, updated motor, updated interior. Still virtually the same design.

They’ve fully redesigned the S twice (2016 and 2021, rumored again in 2025), the X once (2021), and the model 3 once (2022). The model Y is rumored for end of this year or early next year.

It itself is not FOSS, but Network Chuck just had a decent video on setting up ThinLinc for his editing team. I believe it is free for ten or fewer users. There is an admin function that allows you to observe what another user is doing (session shadowing).

In general, for native FOSS, I’m pretty sure you can specify the screen port in VNC, and connect multiple users to the same port, but you’d have to double check the configuration file. Can likely also be done with XRDP.

TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.

In summary:

WP Engine is arguably one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.

They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).

The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.

WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.

WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.

This pissed off a lot of people.

WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.

The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

Legally, those aren’t mini fridges.

Don’t worry about what you can or can’t do four weeks from now. Stay focused on what you need to do this week.

It was absolutely worth the money ruling it out. That’s literally how science works.

On day one, do one push up. Day two, two. Sounds a bit ridiculous, but it gradually builds difficulty.

Crucially, it is not all in one sitting. On day 10, if needed, do five when you wake up, and five before bed.

Break it up into something achievable. And if you miss a day, don’t sweat it. Again, the idea is to start to build, or rebuild strength and flexibility, the exercises themselves barely matter; you could do planks instead, for example.

So to correct one thing:

Poor posture is a symptom of poor core strength, particularly, your deltoids and lower back. If your muscles are both stronger and more flexible, they will literally pull your bones into the correct alignment, without any conscious thought towards sitting straighter.

Start by taking a short walk once a day. A 100 day pushup challenge or starting Yoga would be a great next step. Longer term, maybe light weights and rows alongside using a treadmill or stationary bike.

If you choose to look into weight training, “Starting strength” is a decent program by Mark Rippetoe that I would recommend.

You know the Internet didn’t die, right?

The American Olympic committee, among all other Olympic committees. Not the whole world.

But don’t worry, the judge hearing the appeal also has close personal ties to the Romanian Olympic program (whose athlete came in fourth, and stands to benefit from the committee not hearing the appeal), which were disclosed to everyone except the Americans. Nothing weird about that.

Said it better than I could. Fair? Yes. Effective? No.

They fact that they were only apparently just realizing this in “early 2023” says a lot more about the US auto industry.

Sales slowing is only one variable in the “growth” equation. Specifically, are sales of gas vehicles slowing more than sales of electric cars? Yes.

People are replacing vehicles at some standard rate, but growth of EVs is dependent on what percentage of new vehicle sales are gas versus electric. As long as people aren’t moving back to gas cars en masse, the growth of the segment can continue to rise, even if sales overall are slowing.

To be clear, macOS is “just” a windowing environment built on FreeBSD, which is itself FOSS Unix-like operating system. Most anything in userland that can be built on Linux can, ostensibly, be built on Darwin.

Even as a power user… You can’t.

And, in the 21st century, nothing on your computer is safe and private, least of all, browser extensions.

Even if an extension is safe today, with a tiny handful of notable exceptions, it will be”monetized”, or bought and sold to someone that will use it to install adware on your system, train their AI model, or steal your personal information.

There is no feasible defense to this for a layperson, other than absolute transparency in FOSS, and even that is under attack via flaws in the software supply chain.

The best a layperson can hope for is that major vendors care more about exclusivity and locking others out of their ecosystem, such that they are the only ones who have full control of your data (Apple, Google, Microsoft).
