I’ll use the cliche meme of “I was today years old when I learned where the name comes from”. Just made the connection when I read this article, and I love Pulp Fiction.
But I too am not a native English speaker. Just always accepted the clunky acronym as the reason for the name.
I remember a talk a few years ago where someone engineered controlled detonations to destroy a single server in a rack without damaging any surrounding equipment. Was pretty fun to follow the engineering.
I discovered Tinariwen through one of their live recordings. Pretty amazing stuff.
And if they have access to your computer, they can get much more useful information, both for extortion and surveillance.
If someone has enough access to your system to covertly use the camera, then the camera is the last thing you need to worry about.
Nobody is interested in looking at you. Getting your payment data, or private data, that is much more interesting.
No worse than all the tech startup names tbh.
Du bist ein ziemlicher Optimist wenn du glaubst es kommt was Besseres nach nur weil der Putler weg is. Alle hohen Tiere dort sind von Putin approbiert und demnach um nix besser.
I’d love to have one if I had the space. My toilet is roughly one square meter. For illustration purposes, that size, only less grungy. These are leftovers from how they used to plan apartment buildings in the late 19th century in Vienna.
All of the USSR was +7 IIRC. Most changed it after independence, notice how the Baltics, Belarus and whatnot have previously unassigned three-character numbers instead of two like most of Europe (except microstates). They only got their numbers in the 90s, and no shorter ones were available. +37 just became available since east Germany didn’t exist anymore.
Same with the former Yugoslavian countries, all of YU used +38, when they split up they had to split up +38 too.
So? The majority of the rest of the Christian world follows the Pope.
Cybersecurity costs would also likely go down due to most malware being exploited isn’t targeting desktop Linux.
Which is going to change once any sort of widespread adoption happens.
But at least in my circles, malware really isn’t that big of a deal in security. Phishing is where the danger is these days, where the costs occur.
The largest countries have the largest forests, how surprising.
One third Trekkies, one third talking about how shit twitter and Reddit are, one third content.
If the traffic plummets, YouTube wins. Serving content to ad-blocking users only costs them money. They don’t want those users.
Did you tell them that you don’t have access to your account? Because to me, this reads like the default answer (“here’s how you do it yourself”), not like they won’t do it by email if asked to do so.
My company does the same - if you ask our support how to delete the data, they will send you a link to the customer portal. Only if you tell them that doesn’t work for you, they will work out another way.
We built the feature into the customer portal, so we want people to use it if possible. Because that’s way less work for our support team.
Notepad++ may very well be widely used as an IDE. Notepad isn’t. Other than the name they have nothing do do with each other. It’s just a plain text editor with absolutely no features. Maybe some people use it to write code but unless you can’t use anything else, even a web browser, why would you.
Really? Where are you located? I walk past three clocks on the way from my office to the metro station alone.
Dunno if you’re German or Austrian or something, but in Vienna there is a Ziegelmuseum whose curator studies the history of bricks, how they were made and used and whatnot. They have a long list of brick makers in Austria, when they were active and so on.
If you’re in another country, they could maybe help get you in contact with a historian local to you.
Could help you learn more about your mystery brick.
