    There was one just a few weeks ago with Helldivers 2 and requiring PSN accounts on pc even if you don't live in a country with PSN

    OsaErisXero ,

    Yeah, but the shame all plays into it. They wouldn't like it if they didn't feel bad the whole time.

    OsaErisXero ,

    The only change I've seen in this regard is a dramatic reduction in people's willingness to tolerate these people. They've always been here and always been like this, but we as a society used to just let them have their way to make them go away.

    So I see articles like this as being nothing but good news.

    OsaErisXero ,

    The ability to selectively respond to DNS requests is integral to the function of DNS. The only real issue here is that there isn't a standard response code indicating the reason for not returning the record like there is in http

    OsaErisXero ,

    The correct answer in that scenario is C should be paying for it, as in the stated scenario C's traffic would be exceeding the peering arrangement with B and/or A, but there were/are a number of reasons that breaks down in the real world.

    OsaErisXero ,

    Peering isn't Sender Pays, Peering is "I'll carry your traffic if you'll carry mine", with the understanding that when there's an imbalance in one direction or another that an exchange of some sort is had, be it dollars, bandwidth limits, or similar. In this case, where C interconnects with A which interconnects with B, if C's traffic is so substantial that it's saturating the crosslink between A and B, A would need to evaluate whether their peering agreement with C means that C needs to be paying for the network upgrade, or if there's enough traffic moving from A's network into C's to offset that, and that the interconnect between A and B is the root issue. In your example, rather than paying more into ISPs and, essentially, indirectly funding US network backbone infrastructure upgrades across the board, they solved their problem with cache servers that they handed out like candy to avoid their costs to C sky rocketing. G solved this problem by buying a bunch of dark fiber which was laid on spec by contractors and started peering directly with the Tier 1 providers, dramatically reducing their cost delta.

    Where Korea's system differs is that in traditional Tier 1 peering, as I understand it, T's ISP (call them P) should be using some of the money they get from T to pay Q and R for the excess traffic of their customer, but instead Q and R were, per the government, allowed to also charge T for delivery of their packets, resulting in T having to pay both on the up and downlink side, charging them twice for the same bit. T, rather than attempt what G did, told Korea to pound sand and exited the market.

    Not to any meaningful degree. You're better off at Vintage Stock tbh

    OsaErisXero ,

    Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures

    OsaErisXero ,

    I think of it like a bid for the work order. In fact, I think I read somewhere that that's explicitly how it works for instacart: the tip values are shown before the insta employee/contractor picks up the job, and they're encouraged to only take the ones that pay worth their time.

    OsaErisXero ,

    I can sort of see why a chat client wouldn't have a use for activitypub/federation, with the possible exception of identity sharing once that starts to take off.

    OsaErisXero ,

    Yeah, identity is a real problem, but someone posted a proposal to solve for that that looks perfect for this sort of thing. Wish I remembered what it was called, but basically each account could attest for the others via export of encryption keys/signatures so while you has multiple 'accounts' there was only one identity which was pointed to in the signature blob.

    The tricky part would be getting everyone (matrix, lemmy/kbin/mbin, pixel fed, and masto) to conform to a single identity standard. If one existed, I could see them implementing it, but we're not there yet.

    OsaErisXero ,

    It stops working until you walk over to it and reset the toner state to full, then it works fine.

    At least, that's how mine manufactured 2 years ago works.

    If you're using 3rd party toner, yeah, you gotta swap the little chip, but you can run the toner well past when the printer thinks it's empty by following the reset process: https://www.tonerparts.com/blogs/brother-1/how-to-reset-the-toner-cartridge-for-your-brother-mfc-l3710-3730-3750-and-3770 . It is very fiddly getting to that menu the first few times, but once you've got the hang of it it's pretty straight forward and lets you just keep rerunning the same toner (or 'toner' if you're swapping the chip) indefinitely. For what it's worth, given the longevity of the drums, I've found it easiest to just buy the Brother toner (it's only like 2-3 dollars more expensive than the 3rd party where I am, and is available in stores locally vs having to order from Amazon) and just run them until they're dry by resetting them 2-3 times before replacement.

    Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention: print quality does start to degrade significantly after the reset about 1/3rd through the second 'tank' each drum provides. We use the printer primarily to print off sewing patterns, so this doesn't matter until it's illegible for us, but depending on what you're using it for that may be worth keeping in mind when you're resetting them instead of getting new ones.

    OsaErisXero ,

    More like "huehuehue, millions are going to use this thing!"

    OsaErisXero ,

    That was a weird way to spell constructive termination.

    I hope you file for unemployment from the date that takes effect.

    OsaErisXero ,

    This is your ISP's pricing list:

    https://www.radiolinkinternet.com/Plans.html

    $55

    15mbps down / 5mbps up

    $65

    22mbps down / 7mbps up

    $85

    30mbps down / 10mbps up

    Call

    -other speeds up to 1000mbps Wireless are available-

    They're a rural fixed wireless provider. I don't understand why they would try to serve the middle of the town.

    I would personally consider getting a refund, but the hotels there aren't that much better for speeds. The city /does/ have good internet access available, i don't understand why nobody purchases it :(

    Wouldn't it be the chipset vendors who would implement AV1 (or any other codec) in hardware?

    IRS has launched its free tax filing service, Direct File, in 12 states (arstechnica.com)

    "Direct File provides a free, secure option for taxpayers with simple tax situations in 12 states to file their taxes directly with the IRS," the Treasury Department said. "Direct File is easy to use, with no hidden junk fees, and works as well on a smartphone as it does on a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer. Direct File...

    This. Usually we're bitching about the feds just ignoring basic development principles and making shit up as they go along like there wasn't 30 years of hard learned lessons to lean on; this is the first time I can think of where what they're doing actually makes some sense.

    I don't know where you got that 20% statistic, but everything I've read and can find on short notice has it up around 70%.

    Opinion: It's Time To Ditch 2.4GHz WI-FI

    2.4GHz wifi is not suitable for two big reasons, interference and low bandwidth. 2.4GHz wifi in any kind of suburban or city environment and sometimes even in rural will be congested with other networks, microwaves, other appliances, etc causing massive speed degradation or fluctuations. The range of 2.4GHz is just too large for...

    OsaErisXero ,

    That chicken wire could have been intentionally designed to absorb 5ghz signal, and is death to it. Literally any other material would be fine up to 3 rooms away depending on the noise floor in the space. 6ghz /might/ be able to punch through depending on the width of the space between the wires though, and might be worth exploring in your case.

    OsaErisXero ,

    No, i know, but my point was if you were designing a wall material to block 5ghz you would end up with plaster on wire mesh. Couldn't have been better if it were on purpose
