The petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.
I also appreciate the translation of “???” for “???”

2·2 days agoAh I found some more info from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:
Lame wurde am 6. Juni auf dem Flughafen von Las Vegas im Bundesstaat Nevada von der US-Einwanderungsbehörde vorübergehend festgesetzt und flog noch gleichentags freiwillig nach Kanada weiter. Offenbar hatte Lame übersehen, dass seine elektronische Einreisegenehmigung (ESTA), die zwei Jahre lang gültig ist und mehrmalige Einreisen ermöglicht, abgelaufen war.
It says he didn’t realize that his ESTA authorization (which you can use for multiple visits, but is only valid for two years) had lost validity.
it should automatically shut down after applying the updates
Okay, that part it does for me though. That’s extra annoying for you then.
apply everything that is possible, then restart and apply the remainder
Yeah on one hand I get the concept, on the other macOS and Linux manage without, and I don’t really remember older Windows doing this either, so I wonder if there is a real reason why it’s needed, or they just engineered themselves into a bad corner…
621·2 days agoThe linked video is a bit unclear to me. The don’t explain the modes well. Mostly it seems to just show heat. According to the description it’s a Teledyne FLIR G620, which should be able to detect Methane and other VOCs. But it’s not clear to me how we are supposed to distinguish hot rising CO2 and H2O from any potentially leaking Methane, in those pictures.

9·2 days agoThis week I heard from a network group lead of a university hospital, that they have a similar issue. Some medical devices that come with control computers can’t be upgraded, because they were only certified for medical use with the specific software they came with.
They just isolate those devices as much as possible on the network, not much else to do, when there is no official support and recertification for upgrading. And of course nobody wants to spend half a million on a new imaging device when the old one is still fine except for the OS of the control computer.
Sounds like a shitty place to be, I pity those guys.
That said, if you were talking about normal client computers then it’s inexcusable.
That’s always so annoying, because Windows isn’t my default boot entry, so I need to babysit its “totally not a reboot” update.
overstaying the terms of his visa
He arrived in the US on 30 April
Hm weird. If he’s Italian, wouldn’t he have an ESTA authorization under the Visa Waiver Program for 90 days usually?
He’s an author and the founder of the online community LessWrong.
I first heard of him when someone on the old site recommended Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality to me.
3·6 days agoThat article is kind of shitty. I’d propose that reading the original with the help of machine translation is probably still better: https://www.srf.ch/news/international/trotz-sanktionen-schweizer-maschinen-in-russlands-waffenfabriken
Also just FYI this is 3 months old, that’s why the article refers to Trump stopping weapons deliveries, that was a current development at the beginning of march.
13·6 days agoOld picture, not related to the ship Madleen. It seems those objects were picked up in homes the soldiers occupied. Which seems worse to me.
The oldest occurrence of the picture I can find is 2024-04-24 on this Journalist’s (Maha Hussaini) Twitter post: https://xcancel.com/MahaGaza/status/1783146291721105780
Hm the word yacht is easy, it means Jacht :-)
I mean it’s Eliezer Yudkowsky, so it has to be a joke, plus the way he upped it in the reply confirms it, but I don’t really get the funny bit.
21·7 days agoThis will not be covered by the MSM.
Coverage seems pretty okay so far

2·10 days agothough you’d need to supply power
Go for really old ones with the crank handle for ringing. Like from army surplus and you don’t need the power :-)
We played around with these for a day in the army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldtelefon_50 when you crank the handle while your friend is still putting down the line you can shock them.
9·10 days ago6 arc seconds, not a very well rounded individual
Friend of mine had the same scenario in high school. The only one who knew was the twin sister of the girlfriend. The rest of the family would never have accepted a non-muslim. It’s probably the only way to do this until she’s an adult and can tell them to fuck off.
Pre-UEFI they were fighting over the boot sector, sure, but now that everything is more well defined, and every OS can read the FAT32 ESP? Never seen it…
At worst the UEFI boot entry is replaced. There are some really shitty UEFI implementations out there which only want to load
\efi\microsoft\boot\bootx64.efior\efi\boot\bootx64.efi, or keep resetting you back to those.Assuming you were dumped into Windows suddenly, you can check if you have the necessary boot entries still with bcdedit and its firmware option
bcdedit /enum firmwareIf you just have a broken order you can fix it with
bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} displayorder {<GUID>} /addfirstIf you actually need a new entry for Linux it’s a bit more annyoing, you need to copy one of the windows entries, and then modify it.
bcdedit /copy {<GUID1>} /d "Fedora" bcdedit /set {<GUID2>} path \EFI\FEDORA\SHIM.EFI bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} displayorder {<GUID2>} /addfirstWhere GUID1 is a suitable entry from windows, and GUID2 is the one you get back from the copy command as the identifier of the new entry. Of course you will have to adjust the description and the path according to your distro and where it puts its shim, or the grub efi, depending on which you’d like to start.
Edit: Using DiskGenius might be a little more comfortable.
They do actually burn gas locally, I wasn’t trying to dispute that part. It has become a political discussion in Memphis. Apparently they wanted to start operations on turbines before the grid access was ready.
