Raymond Chen reminds that playing shitty pop music on (or near from) a laptop may crash HDDs: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20220816-00/?p=106994 https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2022/08/18/janet_jackson_video_crashes_laptops/ Apparently some undisclosed 5400RPM rust spinners have its own version of the brown note, which gets triggered by... one of the Jackson 5?! Now I understand why WD Blue drives fail so commonly here in the land of reggaeton and Colombian vallenatos. Licensed Pirate® since 2006, 100% Buttcoin™-free, enemy of All Things JavaScript™ |

Oh boy, Clownflare now wants to become a telco! Zero Trust SIM Leaving aside the eSIM-vs-physical-SIM nerdrage (spoilers: eSIM == CDMA/TDMA/AMPS == you don't want that shit), the LAST thing in this world is Clownflare, the biggest MITM of the Internet, becoming a MITM in my cellphone too! "Zero Trust", yeah. ZERO TRUST on you idiots, Clownflare. Licensed Pirate® since 2006, 100% Buttcoin™-free, enemy of All Things JavaScript™ |

https://nitter.it/markrussinovich/status/1571995117233504257 Mark Russinovich (the guy that wrote your favorite Sysinternals tools including the former best task manager for Windows) either has lost its mind, smoke something real good, or just wants to see the Twatterverse burn. I guess he finally got bored of being a Microsoft... A kernel dev guy advocating for the death of C and the rise of Rust!? As much as I dislike C and friends, all I can say is: WTF dude!?

You can't just deprecate a language, Mark. COBOL's still around, you think you can just say "deprecated" and C and CPP will magically disappear? That's only how it works for Apple product designers. Hell, CPP didn't even kill off regular C. Or CSharp, for that matter. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by funkyassSo Microsoft deprecated Java. And last I heard, people were still using it even as Oracle tried to shake them down for money because copyright means they own language. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Cash, in Antarctica! - the legendary Wells Fargo ATMs Down Under on penguinland: https://brr.fyi/posts/mcmurdo-automated-teller-machines 1) Those ATMs don't have service fees (aside of any extra fee your bank decides to charge) 2) What would be the procedure if that ATM eats your money? You can't simply walk into a branch, as the next one is several thousand kilometers AND months away! 3) Eww, touchscreens!
