I don’t know any self respecting sysadmin that doesn’t block P2P in their network. Most enterprise firewalls nowadays don’t even require any fancy set up, it’s a toggle switch away. I don’t buy the “oopsie we didn’t know” excuse. They were permitted to torrent by design.

jfc this can’t be real

I only found one usecase where it shines and even then I had to verify the output twice to make sure it doesn’t fuck up before I push it into production. String manipulation is pretty good with it instead of having to write a bash one liner with a lot of sed and awk

I thought Rufus was the correct way. I didn’t even know Msft maintains its own tool anymore.

Georgism? On my Lemmy? Based

“Sell America” is what they’ve been doing for the last 50 years or so

Intel didn’t abort their new facility because of genocide, they could care less. They’re not making money right now so it’s not a good time to expand, and that’s about it.

I find it amusing people say they’ll boycott NVIDIA because they set up shop in Israel.

1. they set up shop in Israel a long time ago (2016 to the best of my memory)
2. all of their competitors also operate in Israel to some degree

If you need discrete graphics you don’t have any choice. They all operate in Israel to some degree.

Haven’t read the article yet but hopefully it’s cheap used drives

oopsie?

There are usually some tells. For AI generated music (AIGM for short) the cover “art” is also AI generated. The vocals/style are different between tracks. Another method that I think was recently made obsolete was that if you opened the track in audacity it looked weird compared to regular music when you looked at the spectrograms because AIGM added some weird unnecessary noise to the music. AIGM “artists” usually don’t have any social media presence, they don’t really exist outside of the internet. No shows/interviews etc. Is it a lot of effort to find out whether something is AIGM? Maybe. Is it worth it? Yes, I don’t want to give money to people who desecrate the art or music.

Long overdue but a welcomed return nonetheless.

for the average Joe (people outside of lemmy) it’s hard to be positive towards ai when it increases the price of their general purpose compute. it’s also difficult to be supportive of it when all it does is inaccurately plagiarize and threaten to take away peoples jobs (although we know it can’t really replace anyone as the tech isn’t reliable and needs constant attention)

Not that I’m against but isn’t this illegal? Probably shouldn’t showcase it publicly

Looks like the telly industry missed a payment this month

You can turn it around nowadays on something like Craigslist or FB marketplace. It will easily sell for 150 quid. Some of the plex shares will be happy to take it off you because their accounts get constantly nuked.

AirVPN seems to be popular amongst torrenters I know

Be the change you want to see in the world

Say what you want about Amazon, these were a decent deal. You could find a guy on your local marketplace that would sell one of these fire sticks preloaded with a custom IPTV app that had a bunch of channels for about £20-£40 permanently, no reoccurring cost.

If you got one before the police started cracking down on them you’re golden.

It could be just a kid doing odd jobs to upgrade their computer.
