What is really annoying is that there are a lot of really good data modeling applications, they are just in research areas. Generative AI is absolutely a waste of resources, but a ton of money and energy is spent on that instead of on the applications that are actually bearing fruit.

You can set it yourself but it then verifies your address is real using Bing maps and the database is really lacking. If it doesn’t find an entry it won’t let you enter it. I am told this will be moving to Azure maps soon which I hope is better.

Anyway we are leveraging manual network entries tofind phones at our locations using the WAP bssid or, for ethernet, LLDP but the latter isn’t working. I can show LLDP coming in on a pcap but Teams doesn’t see it - another ticket for Microsoft.

I am in the middle of trying to get e911 functional for Teams direct route calls, based of lis data, my Teams can’t correctly determine the state I am in, much less my current address. It took multiple tickets to get our corporate headquarters to show up correctly instead of an address a half-mile away.

I forsee getting a lot of tickets from this feature.

It’s unfortunate because I just want a place where I can ask where to find comfortable walking shoes that don’t have leather.

Garuda Linux is a great job to help you get your business in the world marveled and followed

The gate here is really cool, I remember from my optical classes all the different ways to encode bits on a photon over fiber, I am curious which properties are more and less suitable for this application.

If I want to know when I’m going to die, I’ll ask an actuary like we did in the old days.

It’s a good time to migrate to Linux!

If you need to run the EA launcher, I found it works best in Bottles.

Same. I’d have stayed on Windows if Microsoft had just not been so determined to make using the OS so dreadful while also harvesting my personal data.

Because they want to use antiporn laws to restrict books and other media with LGBTQ content.

When the 8 bit quants hit, you could probably lease a 128GB system on runpod.

Yeah, I mean the AI being shoveled at us by techbros. Actual ML stuff is currently and will continue to be useful for all sorts on not-sexy but vital research and production tasks. I do task automation for my job and I use things like transcription models and OCR, my company uses smart sorting using rapid image recognition and other really cool uses for computers to do things that humans are bad at. It’s things like LLMs that just aren’t there - yet. I have seen very early research on AI that is trained to actually understand language and learns by context, it’s years away, but eventually we might see AI that really can do what the current AI companies are claiming.

Back in the 90s in college I took a Technology course, which discussed how technology has historically developed, why some things are adopted and other seemingly good ideas don’t make it.

One of the things that is required for a technology to succeed is public acceptance. That is why AI is doomed.

Same issues with frame stuttering on 555.xx and Plasma 6.1.1, but with 550.xx I was getting ghost frames in xwayland applications. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon, I really want nvidia to work with Wayland.

Except since 5.1 I get soft locks on loading screens running via Proton Experimental. I wish their native support wasn’t so awful and dated.

ChromeOS is Linux.

“We are sorry you noticed, we didn’t think anyone would read all that.” -Adobe, probably

It starting 0.5 seconds slower than usual saved us all a bit of a headache as it turns out.

Gmail is probably the hardest one to kick. I’m fine with paying for an email service if it’s functional and doesn’t siphon my personal data, but finding a quality trustworthy provider and then migrating 20 years of data to it seems so overwhelming.

I use option 121 as part of my work, though I am not an expert on DHCP. This attack does make sense to me and it would be hard to work around given the legitimate uses for that option.
