If you go for RAID, I would advise for software RAID rather than hardware (i.e provided by your motherboard or a physical car). Hardware RAID will lock you to the particular motherboard or RAID card, which would represent an additional hurdle when upgrading or replacing it.

I recall that Acer laptops had a reputation of being unreliable over 10 years ago already, I’m surprised it had not improved since then.

I see Amazon is trying something else for their 2024 attrition strategy.

(for those wondering what I mean by attrition strategy)

Owner of Cloud company that sells AI services tells governments that AI-powered surveillance is good.

Maybe you could deploy a blog on Netlify (which has a free tier) using one of Decap CMS’s starter templates?

I believe Zen’s sole focus is to provide a different UI / UX on top of vanilla Firefox, so I would assume that it is no more or less private than Firefox.

Apparently in France naming a Prime Minister of the party that won the last elections is a compromise in itself for the President, so I would start with that 😒

Thank you for the tip, but is there any way to delete the activity data from Meta after de-linking?

RSS/ATOM has to be the best thing to come out of XML

It does for a few versions now, and even before there was at least one extension adding this feature.

I feel like not everyone is conscious of these biases and we need to raise the awareness and try preventing for example HR people from buying AI-based screening software that has a strong bias that is not disclosed by their vendors (because why would you advertise that?)

Seems like not a bias by Al models themselves, rather a reflection of the source material.

That’s what is usually meant by AI bias: a bias in the material used to train the model that reflects in its behavior

I get it, I had to watch a couple of video reviews before making my mind in this one.

I use the standard cube (there is a large one) and I usually pack either

• my A7IV with a 24-105 attached to it + a Tamron 16-28 + a prime
• or body + 24-105 + 3 primes
• or body + 24-105 + 1st gen Sony 70-200 f/2.8 (I can’t remember if I managed to pack a prime as well)

There is no dedicated pockets for the filters but I usually carry them in the “tablet” pocket that I never use.

Then I fill the top half of the bag with a couple of t-shirts, underwear, chargers, cables, sunscreen, glasses, headphones and hat, usually the roll top is expanded 3/4 of the way with a little more headroom.

As for pictures of the bag, I’m not home right now, I’ll try to remember to snap some and send them here.

The release dates are

• Dec. 9 for Xbox Series X|S and PC
• Spring 2025 for PS5

Earlier this year, researchers from security firm Avast spotted a newer FudModule variant that bypassed key Windows defenses such as Endpoint Detection and Response, and Protected Process Light. Microsoft took six months after Avast privately reported the vulnerability to fix it, a delay that allowed Lazarus to continue exploiting it.

Dammit Microsoft, you only had one job!

It’s possible my data source doesn’t include that or something similar.

I believe it is data source dependent, as it shows with Open-Meteo

There are multiple causes to its demise.

The big one was security (or lack thereof) as attackers would abuse plug-ins through NPAPI. I remember a time when every month had new 0-days exploiting a vulnerability in Flash.

The second one in my opinion, is the desire to standardize features in the browser. For example, reading DRM-protected content required Silverlight, which wasn’t supported on Linux. Most interactive games and some websites required Flash which had terrible performance issues. So it felt natural to provide these features directly in the browser without lock-in.

Which leads to your second question: I don’t think we will ever see the return to NPAPI or something similar. The browser ecosystem is vibrant and the W3C is keen to standardize newly needed features. The first example that comes to mind is WebAuthn: it has been integrated directly in the browsers when 10 years ago it would have been supported through NPAPI.

I forgot this gimmick… Did Google drop it on the Pixel 9?

It rather sounds like too little free RAM or too agressive RAM management (frequent on Chinese phones) forcing Firefox to kill the tab as soon as you leave it.
