If I’m not mistaken the overwhelming majority of elons wealth is in company stock (including his other companies, not just Tesla)

It might need to fall pretty damn low for him to be able to afford all outstanding shares.

Yeah yeah

Good for pixelfed

Hexbear is counted twice, so you’re actually #4.

This image is a bit disheartening, ngl

Yeah, it’s an impressive tech showcase for such a small Dev team… But it’s pretty lackluster as a tiktok replacement.

That verify email will come, but don’t expect a mountain of quality content once it does

Stupid. There are already alternatives. Nobody wants them.

No matter how good you make it, now that tiktok was taken from people any app will just be the tiktok replacement being forced on us instead of a worthwhile social media unto itself.

It’s not like twitter which sold its own soul and was subsequently run into the ground. I think any attempt to replace tiktok will just piss people off, especially if they’re clearly American corporate enterprises.

Because the people who are ‘correct’ for the job always end up being white guys who are direct relatives of someone in management

Could just be a codename, but a bg3/dos style game set in Arthurian legend would be sick

American tip culture is fucked, and it has been for a very long time. Once gas stations started begging for a tip on my soft drinks I figured it was about time to rip the band aid off.

Unfortunately tipping less means wait staff are gonna get fucked – no way to soften that. We need to get to a place where their livelihoods aren’t dependent on generosity.

In this example a child would be a pickup truck.

Telebotomy perhaps

The prestige behind the thinkpad brand specifically predates lenovo. They bought it from IBM in '05. AFAIK they’ve always been seen as reliable, well built laptops, albeit a bit pricier.

As far as spyware, with win11 being what it is your options are install Linux or live with it no matter which manufacturer you go with.

I really wish it was easier to open up a TV, rip out all the compute and replace it with a custom display driver. Someone could unironically make a decent amount of money selling diy TV stupidification kits

You just have to deal with all the smart garbage every time you turn it on

Cheap revolvers, guns with uncommon calibers, and guns with lots of rust/cosmetic damage that technically still work.

The gun deals subreddit has occasional super cheap sales on assorted guns that work but nobody wants.

Ps5s are about $500 still iirc.

You can totally get a used hi-point for less than that. Shit you can get a brand new one for less than $500. Police trade-in glocks go for about $400-$450.

They’re not nice guns, but they definitely work. I think this buyback program may very quickly run out of money, and if anything it encourages people to buy guns they otherwise wouldn’t have just to trade them in.

Both kinda already exist.

Easier to control for variables with airplanes. It seems like a simpler (still hells difficult, but simpler) problem to solve, so them first I’d guess

Sure, as long as the VPN itself is secure. Strong passwords/keys, etc. A VPN itself can be a potential security risk, as if it’s compromised an attacker can tunnel traffic directly into a network straight past a firewall.

The risks can definitely be mitigated, but if someone’s asking for an ELI5 on KVMs, then it may be best to stay away until they have a better understanding of IT infrastructure altogether.

ELI5:

It lets you remotely control a computer.

It’s different (arguably better) than remote connection software because it is a separate device that basically just forwards your keyboard & mouse inputs. This means that you can control the remote device even if it’s powered off or not able to boot properly, and you can configure the BIOS remotely too.

You could call someone on-site to connect the KVM to a server, but KVMs, while expensive by regular person standards, are pretty cheap as enterprise hardware goes. So some organizations just keep separate KVMs plugged into all critical hardware all the time.

Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite high security risk.

Their website is probably light on details because “KVM” is fairly common industry parlance. If you normally work with this stuff then just hearing those 3 letters tells you most of what you need to know.
