14·11 days agoenshitify before the IPO
I always see it after. Because then the suits take over and it becomes a mandate to increase profits quarterly for the share holders. IPOs want to show happy users to sell the idea of future revenue from milking those users.
Dragon’s Lair was a hugely popular arcade game that worked that way.
91·20 days agoI don’t think it’s a coincidence that MS fixed Windows search when Google had its Google Desktop search product and Windows Search went back to horrible when Google discontinued Desktop Search.
You can find files faster on Windows by using the command line dir command with recursion switch and watch every directory tree scroll by until it finds the file than wait for the GUI even when Indexed.
This came out a while ago. The developer used a license that said, “Steal this software, I don’t care.” Then he was shocked Pikachu when it was stolen.
His problem is the exact reason GPL was created.
I’m sure Google does monetize the gps data instantly, then throws it away rather than save old data that only costs money to respond to government requests.
This is a case where privacy is economically beneficial to Google.
The device only was for privacy. When the data was stored in the cloud, the government had unrestricted access. By making it device only they need to get your device to get that data.
Yeah if U2 is grunge based on time period, then Motley Crue and Michael Jackson is grunge.
11·1 month agoNATO ISAF sent troops in January 2002. ISAF took command in 2003.
"Deployed in 2001 – initially under the lead of individual NATO Allies on a six-month rotational basis – ISAF was tasked, on the request of the Afghan government and under a United Nations (UN) mandate, to assist the Afghan government in maintaining security, originally in and around Kabul exclusively. NATO agreed to take command of the force in August 2003 "
2001 or 2003. Your claim that NATO never mobilized in Afghanistan is false.
Article 5 was invoked over a year possibly 2 years prior after 9/11
“The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) declared an Article 5 contingency through a series of resolutions of the North Atlantic Council enacted between September 12 and October 2, 2001, done in response to the September 11 attacks in the United States.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_5_contingency_(2001)
Nato went into Afghanistan in 2001.
without Article 5
I already linked with sources that Article 5 was invoked and Afghanistan was a NATO mission, not the US and some allies.
NATO has never been mobilized.
Nato was mobilized for Afghanistan.
NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States.
NATO went to Afghanistan. France (part of NATO) was so against Iraq that they wouldn’t let the US use its bases for refueling. American politicians officially renamed French Fries to Freedom fries because they were mad at France and other members of NATO did not support Iraq and sent no troops.
Those Tualatin core CPUs were absolutely fantastic. They doubled them and made the Core2. I had one running for 10+ years. I don’t know what it was about the bios but it was the fastest boot PC I ever built.
If you want to go tiny you could get an Anbernic Gameboy like the RG35xxSP. They run Linux with a gaming UI on top. But it’s very easy to run full desktop Linux distros on them.

Btw the CPU in the Lenovo P330 is an e-2174g. I also got an e-2274g.
I got a sff P330 Xeon with integrated graphics for ~$500 two years ago that includes case power supply etc. Far faster than an n100 and even lower power than if you added a GPU to an n100.
I just plugged in a kilowatt to check:
My Lenovo sff workstation running Plex idles at 15 watts- which is 90% of the time. Streaming 4k 52Mbs hevc (This Flash Gordon is my torture test that caused me to upgrade 2 years ago) it’s 18 watts! I was so surprised that I went back and unplugged the Ethernet thinking I put the killawatt on the wrong server.
What’s your budget? I’m a big fan of old Xeon servers.
I didn’t remember that one and it turns out it was from a new version done in 2016.
