When you see what ONE coder was able to do in the 80s, with 64K of RAM, on a 4MHz CPU, and in assembly, it's quite incredible. I miss my Amstrad CPC6128 and all its good games.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

I guess it was in the 80s, open a new xterm, ps -edaf | grep vi, kill the process, then man vi to read how to exit properly.

This is how I learnt unix, do a ls in /bin /usr/bin /etc, man every command

Always has been, and I am using Linux since 1993 (my first install was kernel 0.99, on floppies, on a 486DX50)

I tried to always use AMD, 386SX33, 486DX4/100, Duron 1000, Athlon XP 2200, then went a laptop life with Intel, but since COVID/WFH I went back to AMD, I have a 5600H in a miniPC

My company is using some tool to generate those kinds of false scam emails every few weeks, so I created a rule in Outlook that if the header contains the word "gophish", it put a label "lol phishing" on it, so I know to just delete them...

Magister ,
@Magister@lemmy.world avatar

haha same for me, the header contains the word "gophish", easy to filter it

It was the same for I guess Google, 15 years ago I'd have apply for a job there, now? no. Right now I'd not apply to everything Musk, Meta, Google, MS, IBM, HP, etc. It does not work. small company, max 100 people, are better.

In great Montreal area it's more and more enormous, condo 1000sqft+, thousands of them, that people cannot buy because they are too expensive, I don't understand the system

And it's not from today, in the 90s a friend of mine was hired for IBM, imagine!!! I don't think he made a year there, it was already horrible.

MX, always based on latest Debian, is using sysVinit, but you can also boot with systemd if you want, it supports both. MX is pretty popular, simple, fast, Xfce by default, and very up to date on everything. I'm using it for 6 years now, on laptop, PC. Also maybe it's me, but no flatpak, no snap, etc, not needed, for instance latest FF is a standard .deb

Incredible, I started with a ZX81 (it was using a Z80) in 1981, then moved to a CPC6128 in 1984, still using a Z80, I learnt assembler on it, cracking games, etc, good memories :)

lol so true, however I have had a Samsung color laser wifi printer for 10+ years, worked flawlessly in linux. It was years before they got bought by HP

I guess not, the USB one is 5V obviously, but the other one can be 12, 7.2, 8.4, 3.2, whatever

I buy hundreds of stuff on AE, but I'll never buy something that plugs on AC, it's all weak and not tested. You play with fire.

No, it's more to limit speed on some streets, when you have a 60lbs ebike with a 180lbs guy on it going over 60mph in a busy street downtown, it's fucking dangerous.

Supposed, like 49.9cm3 should be limited

Yep, all cars connected so you can pay $20/month for remote start and things like this. The only way to disable cellular connection in the car is to unplug the cell antenna from the module. You have to dig the information online to find where is the module and have to disassemble the dash to do so maybe? But it's the only way. Even if you don't pay, the connection will still work and manufacturer receives all info.

Do you have fastboot enabled in your BIOS? Because it can screw up FW not being uploaded/transferred in devices like network cards

But I can tell you in the 80s, I smoked in McDo, enjoying my Royale, with a beer :)

How to use WiFi in plane if you put your phone in airplane mode? nonsense.

Magister ,
@Magister@lemmy.world avatar

When I turn on airplane mode it turns off everything but of course I can turn wifi on just after. But all the phones I have seen when you set in airplane mode it turns off cell wifi BT even nfc

I'm pretty sure those jammers (they saturate wifi band with trafic) are used only for burglary time, say 10-15 minutes, and very local, so the neighbour million$ mansion is far enough that they are not affected. How come FCC detect this?

I discovered winget (command in PowerShell) a couple of years ago, it's pretty cool

Yup, on my Audiovox 8910, using a special USB cable and some obscure qualcom softwares, to access the "file system" and put a wav at the right place, and it had to be mono 8bits or something.

I didn't want to pay $5 for a 10 seconds ringtones sample of a song. I did it myself :)

I'm in Linux, I had so much problem with FF and Teams that I installed Edge and Teams as a PWA, no more problem with calls and video

Always have. On /. 25 years ago we posted before reading TFA, it's the way.
