they fired the guy that single handedly managed meshcommander https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCommander

it was a tool to remotely control intel vpro machines, intel's own tool is not as good as what the old ex-employee did in his free time

it's because people arrive 1 minute before closing time asking for a task that takes 15 minutes and the employees are rightfully fed with that, because the owner won't pay the extra time

I tried to seed the torrents but I never found anything that needed seeds, most users download via browser

But at the same time they paid reddit millions to train on "authoritative" posts like that one from "fuckSmith" that suggested to add glue to pizza

It depends how they make them. Some plant based burgers are just made with scraps from soy milk production, look like expired meat and taste like polystyrene or worse while the impossible burger it's difficult to distinguish with a blind test: the flavor, the texture and the appearance are extremely similar. They even have the fake blood in the middle

Requiring the installation of analog AM radios in automobiles is an unnecessary action that would impact EV range, efficiency and affordability (says the lobbyist)

Oh no the vehicle when driving at speed now uses 10001 watts with radio on instead of 10000 watts. Efficiency and range is ruined.

Also the $60k luxury vehicle is now unaffordable when a $1 am receiver is added in the infotainment

But they promised that they won't use the data for it 😜

They paid millions for it just for charity

i installed macos on an external usb drive (surprised it let me do that), then booting from that i installed ddrescue via homebrew, then i was able to copy the files to the exfat partition

wasted a whole weekend for that...

Generally good at supporting phones but not at supporting computers, a 5-6 years lifetime is unacceptable from an environmental point of view.

I experienced it last week when I turned on an old Mac with MacOS 10.7. It can't run anything. Everything that you download doesn't run anymore, Firefox and chrome are limited to some ancient version like 40 that breaks every modern website and due to some expired SSL root certificate you can't access any website that's using let's encrypt which is a big chunk.

And it's like this not from recently but at least 5 years, so it was put in a corner and never turned on anymore until last week

It can theoretically be updated to some newer version but the updater to 10.8 has been delisted from the store so you have to alternatively source that.

For comparison, a PC that was purchased the year prior to that Mac is running the latest version of windows 10 without any issue (except slowness due to the 1st gen core architecture)

An additional problem is that the Mac is stuck to MacOS 10.7, so even if it boots again, I can't install anything because "this operating system is not supported". I would need to find some decade old recovery program somehow. Or find another Mac and some USB enclosure

I run chkdsk and it found that 2TB of data! But in 60000 nameless and useless chunks in the FILE.000 directory

hoping the drive tomorrow can last another day of copying...

fucking fast boot, lost my data because it's assuming hard drives don't change when pc is turn off

it looks like fast boot in order to save me 10 seconds on boot restored the FAT state from before the copy

i booted on another operating system and i see all the files, but the contents are all wrong, looks like everything is gone...
