Jurassic Park at least makes sense because dinosaurs are cool.

Opposite-chirality microbes, though? Nobody asked for that.

New employees don’t get the old perks

A major but too-often ignored union-busting tactic, BTW.

I'm using a couple of TP-Link EAP225 ceiling-mounted PoE access points, and one EAP235-wall wall-mounted one, connected to my old TP-Link Archer C7 router (with the antennas disabled) running OpenWRT.

I'd like to replace the router with something rack-mounted, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I love that GL.iNet stuff ships with OpenWRT (or apparently FreeRTOS in the case of the Thread border router I'm eyeing right now), but I wish they would make stuff like ceiling or wall-mounted PoE access points and rack-mountable wired routers. The form-factor is what stops me from choosing them over TP-Link devices that I have to flash OpenWRT onto myself.

I haven't watched the video yet, but my thought has always been that that mentality is simply privilege and entitlement. They think they deserve to eat their cake and have it too (to get both the easy access to amenities of the city and the private space of rural living) while forcing society to subsidize it for them via policies like single-family zoning, mandatory parking minimums, and "free" parking.

(And yes, BTW, single-family zoning is a subsidy! It artificially inflates the supply, driving the price down compared to what it should be, while driving the price of multifamily housing up. Even if you think single-family houses are unaffordable, that doesn't disprove it -- they're still cheaper than if homeowners were made to compete fairly with multifamily developers who would build those properties out to their highest and best use. Nobody should expect to be able to live in a single-family house in a city, just as a simple matter of geometry, and it's an outrage that that lifestyle is forced by policy at everybody else's expense.)

Yeah, but -- and this is crucial to understand -- they don't want to. They like the fascists better.

"More Devo than Devo"

I'm very much an AMD guy and need to replace my Vega 56 asap.

Why? I have the same card and am still reasonably satisfied with it, but I'm wondering if you know something I don't.

Brewster had a way more compelling platform, though ("vote none of the above").

Don't get lazy with soundbars; do it properly with discrete speakers (at least in the living room).

While we're at it, can we also rename the hard drive block devices back to hd instead of sd again? SATA might use the SCSI subsystem, but SATA ain't SCSI.

That strategy is spreading, BTW: https://momentummag.com/vision-zero-campaign-bricks-vancouver/
