You can't fool me. I've seen the IT Crowd. The internet is connected by Wifi and has a red light!

I think in the case of forced agreements (both Roku not having a way to select disagree and disabling all hardware functionality until you agree, and blizzard not allowing login to existing games including non-live service ones) no reasonable court should be viewing this as freely accepting the new conditions.

If you buy a new game with those conditions, sure you should be able to get a full refund though, and you could argue it for ongoing live service games where you pay monthly that it's acceptable to change the conditions with some notice ahead of time. If you don't accept you can no longer use the ongoing paid for features, I expect a court would allow that. But there's no real justification for disabling hardware you already own or disabling single player games you already paid for in full.

It'll be interesting to see any test cases that come from these examples.

If you build it, they will come.

I think there's likely a lot of people still on slower links that benefit for sure.

But as gigabit and better Internet becomes more mainstream, it's certainly less of a problem for those with that.

Yeah, I'd agree there. It should be whatever the US equivalent of aggravated assault is. But the charges you could levy bearing in mind he aimed for the head could go as far as attempted murder I guess.

Seems quite simple to me. Things like guns, swords, daggers and the like are designed to be weapons. So they're generally going to be assumed to be a weapon any time they're used/brandished.

But literally anything can be used as a weapon. So, in normal use they're not a weapon but if used as a weapon, they become one in that instance.

None of the above!

The thing is, this actually if anything proves the strength of the fediverse. Lemmy.world is not Lemmy and Lemmy is not the fediverse. Just find another instance that has not blocked the community yet and carry on with your day.

Lemmy.world have every right to curate the experience for their users as they see fit and/or feel comfortable carrying the risk for.

Well, yes and no. It depends on whether you call the Linux kernel as what makes Linux the OS or not.

For any operating system there are the kernel components and user space components. The GUI in any operating system is going to be user space.

They also suggest it's a "minimalized" Linux microkernel. I kinda agree with this approach, why re-invent the wheel when you can cherry-pick the parts of the existing Linux kernel to make your foundations. The huge caveat in my mind is, the scheduler of modern OS' is what they were complaining about most. I bet the scheduler is one of the things they took from the Linux kernel.

As for the rest of the project. I don't think there's enough meat in this article to say much, and the very limited free version seems a bit too limited to make a good review of how useful it would be.

I'll wait until I'm told I need to port X aspect of my job to DBOS to see if it became a thing or not. :P

I mean, the running on watts vs volts part was nonsense.

But, did get quite close with the power calculation. Although here in the UK the average car battery seems to be around 60ah. I did see some very expensive large 105ah batteries. But they were definitely the outlier. So if you had a 100ah battery then it would be 1.2kwh with 100% efficiency.

Also, it doesn't mention that you'd need an inverter to make the fridge run from a battery. These also have inefficiencies which would reduce the runtime on the battery.

It'll likely be like most routers I've seen. If hardware offloading is possible it'll have cpu to spare at 1gbps. If it isn't (mostly qos or other packet marking processes), then the cpu will get maxed and thruput drops.

Not sure, this wasn't clear to me from their pricing page. There were 4 stars next to that item but the explanation for that didn't elaborate on bulk retrieve.

I assumed there was some minimum number of operations, or it had to be the entire backup restored to count as bulk.
