Think of it this way - imagine nationally the election is close and how your state distributes EC votes determines the outcome. Let’s further say 70% of your citizens voted for candidate A, but for candidate A to win nationally they need all your EC votes. Given that your state laws should primarily be for the benefit of said state’s citizens, would you really want an outcome that 70% of your state’s voters don’t want? All it would take is one election where this determined the outcome before the voters would make it “winner takes all”.

Many distros (at least Ubuntu) auto-installs security updates, and here a mislabeled “security update” was auto-installed. This is not the fault of the sysadmins.

Looked it up myself - they’re still counting votes but as of now 63.8% of voters supported it.

Article didn’t say - how much did it pass by?

No. They have a trial of 100 one-time searches, but that’s it.

The extended support updates aren’t available to end consumers but is a paid product for enterprises that need more time to update.

That’s hard for me to answer because I’m usually at home plugged in, and I set the max charge in the bios to only 65% so the battery will physically degrade slower (I don’t need the charge). A few hours is really all I can say with any accuracy. Worth noting a few things -

1. Since I bought my laptop they came out with an improved battery I could upgrade to, so you’d get a better experience.
2. I believe(?) battery life is improved a fair bit at least with the AMD ones; less sure on the newer Intel ones.

I will say that if long battery life is your #1 concern this may not be the laptop for you.

I have a 12th gen Intel Framework running Arch. I love it, although as others have pointed out the battery life could be better. Early kernels shortly after release had some incompatibility issues that required specific kernel arguments to fix. Also I had to blacklist the light sensor as it conflicted with the brightness function keys.

The Arch wiki has a page with details on Framework laptops you may appreciate looking at.

The police literally have ‘courtesy cards’ they hand out to friends and family to avoid getting them ticketed - that’s a practice that absolutely needs to stop.

Out of curiosity - what laptop maker is installing Sway by default?

I had a few false starts before, but MS force-updating me to the objectively worse and user-hostile Windows 8 triggered my latest (and successful) switch.

I switched jobs earlier this year for a 47℅ ‘raise’ - I’m absolutely loving my new role.

My understanding is that a potential sale of my previous employer fell through because I was basically the brains that developed / maintained the only innovative thing they had done in the past 15 years, and given their lack of investment in anything else there was nothing else of value for the buyer.

Other way around - the AI is writing a letter “from” the daughter to be sent to the athlete. Still BS though, and I’m sure famous people just love getting spam fan mail where the person couldn’t be bothered to draft it themself.

Maybe the Republicans should do the same thing then and have Trump stop running.

• He could be an Arab Israeli
• He could be ultra-orthodox
• He could have had a medical exemption
• He could have received Israeli citizenship later in his adult years after conscription.
• He may have served but in a role that isn’t committing human rights abuses (say working on missle defense)
• He may have served but his political views have since developed and he’s now pro-peace / anti-apartheid.

To generalize and assume that nearly all Israeli men are war criminals is to generalize on the basis of national origin which in most jurisdictions is rightfully assumed to be racist.

You can’t not serve someone because of their country - the hotel doesn’t know whether this man is a soldier or not, just that he’s Israeli.

Perfect article about exactly this situation.

Not at all surprising. ChatGPT ‘knows’ a course’s content insofar as it’s memorized the textbook and all the exam questions. Once you start asking it questions it’s never seen before (more likely for advanced topics that don’t have a billion study guides and tutorials for) it falls short, even for basic questions that’d just require a bit of additional logic.

Mind you, memorizing everything is impressive and can get you a degree, but when tasked with a new problem never seen before ChatGPT is completely inadequate.

Biden will lose against Trump. Changing candidates this late isn’t ideal but it’s better than guaranteed failure, and it’s better than after the convention if Biden deteroriates from where’s currently at.

I both agree and disagree. I agree that there isn’t going to be a single ‘straw’, because everyone’s thresholds are different. For me it was back when Microsoft auto-upgraded my PC to Win 8, which was also when they started putting in hard-to-disable telemetry and bad UI. It sounds like Recall is the threshold for some other people.

Also don’t discount that MS’ market share is dominated by a ton of corporate users (who lack a choice) and casual users (who don’t care / are unaware), but at least anecdotally they’ve been losing the power users in my life, which if true in general which will have negative downstream effects for them moving forward (IT departments working to support alternatives, software developers refusing to build on Windows Server / MS software stack, etc.)
