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
coalincense.
sylver_dragon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•“How you design the beep is important.” Behind the movement for calmer gadgets.English4·7 days agoWhile 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.
sylver_dragon@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?English24·7 days agoGeometry 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.
sylver_dragon@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Does Windows virtual machine crash due to low RAM?English3·7 days agoNo, 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.
sylver_dragon@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Does Windows virtual machine crash due to low RAM?English7·7 days agoOn 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.

Lost of impressive visuals, action, and tons of clues about a story sprinkled throughout the game without actually telling a story.
sylver_dragon@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some kinds of apps or standards that are good because they provide a way to liberate your data and gain control of your tools?English1·8 days agoYa, 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.

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.
Um yay, I guess. I’m always for more options. And maybe there is a market out there for the “game from the cloud” idea. Personally though, I’d rather just play a game on the Steam Deck directly. Or, if that’s somehow not an option, stream the game from my own PC to my TV via SteamLink. In no world do I want to pay for a subscription to play games on a device where I can just play that game locally.
