This isn’t really a Windows vs Linux issue as far as I’m aware. It was a bad driver update made by a third party. I don’t see why Linux couldn’t suffer from the same kind of issue.

We should dunk on Windows for Windows specific flaws. Like how Windows won’t let me reinstall a corrupted Windows Store library file because admins can’t be trusted to manage Microsoft components on their own machine.

All EVs come with Level 1 chargers that plug in to your standard house outlet, NEMA 5-15R. If there’s an outlet nearby you can charge your car.

That can still be difficult for apartment renters, but there’s no need to modify your house.

It’s the wind turbines knocking the water out of the sky!

Do you use the Infinitime firmware? I remember weather display being fairly limited back when I tried.

.localhost is already reserved for the loopback, per RFC 2606, but I agree with you in general. A small network shouldn’t have to have a $10-15/year fee to be compliant if they don’t want to use a domain outside their network.

As other posters have mentioned, .lan .home .corp and such are so widely used that ICANN can’t even sell them without causing a technical nightmare.

Yes, you’re right, RFC 6762 proposes reserving .local for mDNS. I was not aware of this until you brought it up, hence the dangers of using using TLDs not specifically designated for internal use.

Very few as this ruling would reserve .internal for local DNS only and forbid it at the global level. This is ICANN’s solution to people picking random .lan .local .internal for internal uses. You’ll be able to safely use .internal and it will never resolve to an address outside your network.

That would require redefining the second or no longer linking the day with the rotation of the Earth.

Some cultures do/did count to 12 on their fingers using their thumb as a pointer and counting the spaces between their knuckles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal#Origin

12 is a superior highly composite number, which means it’s easier to divide without running into fractions or decimals.

It does exist, see qbitorrent and similar apps. Torrents already fill the usecase you’ve defined: decentralized sharing of arbitrary files. The main problems being the central exchange and the need for seeders.

The bigger the central exchange (torrent tracker) the more susceptible you are to both internal and external threats, but you need to be big because bigger means more seeders and more content.

I expected this to be a satirical article for pumped hydro.

I’m glad I’m not the only person to immediately think of the Joywire from RimWorld.

There’s only two videos of it on the company website and they’re both rendered. Doesn’t really inspire confidence that their product is actually ready to market.
