Oxygen has an interesting plot, similar, but not it.
I think the prison angle in this film wasn’t the main premise. Just how a technology was used.
There was an eye drop that delivered a drug or something that could…do something to your brain.
Uggh, wish I could remember more.
Similar style, but that was a mini-series (for lack of a better description).
This was a movie (IIRC), and she was held in a prison in her mind (so she thought), I can’t remember the details. Futuristic, but not very far into the future.
There was another movie around this idea very recently, maybe a couple years ago. Can’t remember the name though.
Young woman in isolation, think she helped create the system, maybe was on Netflix like 4 years ago?
I don’t mind those breaks… It feels like going to the next chapter in a book.
But actual ads, yea, not for a service that costs.
Though this whole thing is funny - they collect even more user data than they did with cable or broadcast, and now want to show you ads too.
Can’t wait to finish my media server setup.
Bad faith, for sure, made very clear in the last 20 years.
Hahahahahahahaha, oh man, how much you spend on a psychologist every month?
Also, what you’re doing is called sophistry, specifically moving the goal posts (which predates the US by about 1000 years).
You later move on to attacking the person, rather than the argument (more sophistry).
You should probably educate yourself lest you expose the clown inside.
DDOS can happen just from a script hammering on an exposed port trying to brute force credentials.
What?
I’ve popped up a web server and within a day had so many hits on the router (thousands per minute) that performance tanked.
Yea, no, any exposed service will get hammered. Frankly I’m surprised that machine I setup didn’t get hacked.
Interestingly (I just found this out) Android permits 1 VPN connection per user profile.
So I run a VPN in my regular profile, and found my work profile wasn’t using it. So I installed Tailscale there, and it works only in the work profile, while my regular VPN only works in my main profile.
If always assumed VPN config was a system-wide thing.
Can Proxmox with some containers/VMs address your needs?
Its what I’m running for a media server (a VM) and some containers for things like Pihole and Syncthing.
As intended. A Layoff by any other name…
God knows I don’t want that crap either. They’re always bastardized versions of full apps.
Meh, some/much of this is in every new car.
But EV’s take it to a new level with shit you just can’t disable.
I have a car with some of this shit. Just had to disconnect the cell antenna and attach a dummy to block it. Try that with an EV and it’ll probably have a heart attack.
Agreed.
I can buy a $1k car, carefully, and have a “beater” that works fine. Most people can’t. They need something in a bit better condition.
Though the greater point - battery replacement would be $5k-$10k on most cars, no thanks - that’s equivalent to replacing both the engine and transmission on a gas vehicle, at “fuck the customer” stealership prices.
My gas vehicles always go 300k miles, before needing either an engine or trans, many longer. Engines today are damn robust, and have been since the 90’s.
My maintenance over the years is trivial - about $150/year on fluid changes (that with an AWD vehicle with a unique setup). Occasionally something breaks, but that stuff you’d have on any vehicle (tie rod ends, latches, hood release cabke/switch, etc).
There’s a lot of BS out there about all this.
Just leave my gallons of ice cream sitting there.
They’ll probably require you to shop with your phone and scan shit as you go.
Yea, no, kiss my ass.
Oh Ffs, what a fucking idiot, or liar, probably both.
Of course that’s the whole fucking point, you over-educated fucktard.
And people wonder why the average Joe mistrusts academia?
They’ve been in use in the US in other retail outlets for about as long.
I suppose there was little rationalization for them in grocery stores until recently. Keep in mind grocery stores are massive chains, largely stocked by vendors - the store doesn’t own a huge portion of the product, they rent out space to vendors.
So there’s probably also the interaction between vendor and the chain - how the pricing update is managed.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable about how grocery works could chime in. I only have a cursory understanding. I wonder what their It systems look like, how they integrate/communicate with vendor systems.
Lol he’s got 5 people for 700 users. Way overstaffed. Or well-staffed at a minimum.
700 users is a business group in my world.
Change Windows. You can’t take shit down during the work day.
Everywhere I’ve worked (many very large companies, banks, telecom, outsourced IT, etc) teams have coverage schedules, so I suspect this article is misleading.
Someone has to mind things 24/7, this is done via scheduling.
And the more critical you are, the more on-call you are. I had one role where I was on call 24/7. Things rarely broke enough for me to be called, but I never once resented when I was called. I’d rather get woken up at 2am because my help is needed than have the risk that our systems aren’t ready for the day.
Ah, yea, that seems more like something that wasn’t intended for breaks.
Definitely disruptive.
