@Polychrome @niclas @corduroy @tusooa from what i've seen and heard in finland, vandalism really doesn't look into socioeconomic class or anything, it's mostly just teens regardless of wealth fucking about, and due to that not that big of an issue

@Polychrome @niclas @corduroy as in vandalism? can confirm, finland is far from a surveillance state, and vandalism isn't really that much of a problem here beyond like, some occasional graffiti and such

my hypothesis is that it's to do with the more collectivist culture more than surveillance

@Polychrome @corduroy yeah, we have just plain regular LCDs at some bus stops

meanwhile on others we have the absolute worst possible solution, a piece of paper with a QR code on it

@Polychrome @corduroy yeah i feel this is kinda an issue, those things are ridiculously expensive

this time linus techtip of linus techtips fame is treating an older 8-core i9 as a mediocre at best CPU that isn't really that good for modern gaming

mate i run modern games on a 4-core skylake i7, from back when the i9 didn't even exist, and it handles them *fine*

We need an actual decentralised DNS already

Also fuck you ICANN

eSATAp is a perfect example if the completely and utterly hilarious acronyms used in IT

It stands for eSATA Power or power over eSATA

eSATA is a previous acronym standing for external SATA

SATA is a serial version of ATA

ATA is an attachment for the AT standard

AT stands for Advanced Technology

External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment Power

Linux kernel maintainers will accept drivers for peripherals from the 90s that like 3 people in the world use, but absolutely insist on not making ACS override just a configurable feature instead of requiring a patch

What's with "gaming" companies and the letter X everywhere

Like, GTX, RTX, XT, XTX

Also will the next like really high end Radeons be XTXT or XTXX or XXTX or what

"this is a magnetic field stabiliser housing."
"What does it do"
"it houses the stabiliser for magnetic fields"
