That’s just active equipment testing. Sure, a suit may claim to protect you, but you don’t actually know it will protect you until it’s been thoroughly stabbed a few times.

Never mind recent motherboards, I’m still salty about the era of boards from 2004-2010 or so which had USB ports but the BIOS would refuse to accept inputs from them until after POST so you’d have to dredge up a separate PS/2 keyboard and jack it in to be able to configure the damn thing or use the boot menu.

Had one of these in a server rack. Which was all kinds of fun because the rack KVM was USB. We ultimately just left the PS/2 keyboard plugged in and sitting on top of the server in the rack. Given the shitshow which was cable management in those racks (we shared them with several departments), that keyboard was hardly the worst sin.

The American version would require a modified F350HD with a fork lift to get the Pope lifted into the back.

And rigged to roll coal incense.

While an interesting idea, this sounds like an organization designed to separate some doofus investment manager with a lot of capital before inevitably folding because companies won’t give a damn. Sure, if we were to pass laws allowing us to hunt down anyone responsible for using blue LEDs on devices which did not specifically need blue light, and burn their eyes out with a hot poker. Then, such a certification might make sense. But, so long as there are no repercussions for companies making horrible design decisions, why would any company pay for a certification like this.

Geometry is a lot of it. It also makes seeing much easier when pulling out. When backing in, I can easily see the traffic lane around me, and they can see me pretty easy as well (I’m the asshole blocking up the whole place). When driving out, only a smaller portion of my vehicle needs to enter the traffic lane before I have a clear view of any opposing traffic. For the case of nosing it, I have a clear view while pulling in; but, when pulling out I need to get most of my vehicle out into the traffic lane, before I can see anything.

No, if you open a terminal and run:
sudo dmesg

You should get a long output which is the kernel log. Assuming the crash happened recently, there may be something in the last few lines (bottom of the output) which could indicate why the process died (or was killed). Keep in mind that this is a running log; so, if it’s been a while since the crash, the entries for it may be higher up in the log. It’s often best (if you can) to trigger the problem then immediately go run the sudo dmesg command and look at the output. With luck, there will be useful logs. If not, you may need to look elsewhere.

On my system (Arch), if I have too much running, the kernel can kill processes based on resource starvation. It’s quite possible you’re running into a similar limitation. There should be a message in dmesg when this happens.

Kinda a good fit for a FromSoft game. Lost of impressive visuals, action, and tons of clues about a story sprinkled throughout the game without actually telling a story.

Ya, I really like NextCloud and have been using it for quite a few years now. But, like many such solutions for getting your data off other people’s computers: it means you have to do a lot of work. I have a server running in my home and have to maintain all of the software on it myself. I also have a small Splunk instance setup which I use for log collection and analysis and check the dashboards at least once a day to watch for possible compromise. It’s certainly more work for me than just using Google’s cloud. But, it also means my data isn’t compromised by default.

NextCloud - Stop storing your data on someone else’s computer. Works well to allow syncing KeePass databases between devices.

Not terribly surprising, Google would often direct me to StackOverflow threads as I was googling for an answer to a question. And as often as not, either the question was closed; or, instead of anyone providing an answer, the commenters would spiral off into questioning everything about the original question asker’s life choices. While I do get the whole XY Problem, this sort of thing seemed to be over-used on SO.

Granted, I don’t know if AI answers are any better. Sure, they can answer a lot of the simple questions, but I’ve not seen them be useful on hard, more obscure questions. Probably because those questions don’t have ready answers on SO.
