Completely untrue. There are currently only 3 human-rated spacecraft docked to the ISS and none of them are set aside as some sort of emergency capsule. There's no trickery here. The number of astronauts on board is equal to the number of seats available for them to ride back home in. The only reason they aren't stranded is because Starliner is still fully capable of undocking and taking them home whenever necessary. If it wasn't, then they would actually be stranded with no alternative way back beyond straping them to the floor of Dragon.

atocci ,

The people in every one of these Starliner threads seemingly hoping for the worst case scenario to occur just so they can dunk on Boeing for it are disturbing

atocci ,

Yeah that's right, they've decided to not use one of the 5 again because of performance inconsistencies.

atocci ,

Call me crazy but hoping for two innocent astronauts to die on the off-chance things improve isn't something I would consider morally gray.

atocci ,

I'm not talking about people who just want Boeing to fail, I'm talking about the ones who think the best path to changing things is if they publicly kill two astronauts. eg. See the "morally gray" comment below

Sometimes I would turn the DS off as a child when he popped up just to try to get a less annoying dialog on the next go-round

McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream (www.techdirt.com)

LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum...

atocci ,

This headline makes me think maybe AI isn't as useless as I once thought

atocci ,

I was not expecting this The Boys-esque plot with image editing functions

atocci ,

I don't know how far things have come since the aptly named Acer AH101-D8EY, but that was the last time I tried to be "productive" in VR and it was absolutely not working.

atocci ,

Does this statistic account for Hannah Montana Linux?

atocci ,

Shinji and Kaworu

atocci ,

Do they have a case here? Are they entitled to have that money returned if they paid it out already?

atocci ,

IIRC, these things exist to exploit a legal loophole around vehicle registration in Japan as well. Safety is not the highest concern lol

atocci ,

Yeah sharing fun clips or a screenshot from a game you're playing seems as valid as posting any other video or picture you've taken to social media.

atocci ,

They go to cloud storage for 90 days. You can then save it locally from the Xbox website or app.

I think I've mentioned the HDR issue in every comment I've made about my attempts to daily drive Linux, but I've never seen anyone get mad about it. It's also not the make it or break it issue that's keeping me from switching full-time though.

atocci ,

What do their TVs run on now if they aren't updating Tizen anymore?

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

atocci ,

Sure, but we all know what the real reason is...

atocci , (edited )

This is exactly what I'm expecting. The company of "buy your mom an iPhone" isn't going to be aiming for maximum interoperability.

atocci ,

I absolutely agree on that. It should be clear to the user what protocol is being used, but that isn't Apple's goal. If that was the case, the bubble for RCS messages would be something other than green since green currently indicates SMS. The way they're doing it, making RCS bubbles green too won't do anything to tell you what protocol you're using, but it will specifically reveal you aren't using iMessage, and continuing that in-group mentality is the goal.

atocci ,

Man Discord sure does suck for attempting to re-surface answers to previously asked questions.

atocci ,

At least they're honest 😞

atocci ,

What? You're doubting the legitimacy of the top secret J.O.R.D.A.N. bill? What next, you'll call the L.E.B.R.O.N. bill into question as well? I'm flabbergasted at your unending skepticism.

I set up a second SSD with Bazzite for dual booting, but it's not practical for me to use as a daily driver yet. I have a Nvidia GPU, and the drivers just aren't up to par with their Windows counterparts yet. I could tolerate not having HDR, but also not being able to use 2 monitors with different refresh rates at the same time is killing me.

There's an update in the works that should fix at least the multi-monitor problem, but still no HDR.

atocci ,

That I don't know, I only have two monitors and they're totally different sizes so I haven't looked into it, sorry!

atocci ,

I'm on KDE. It's quite an odd problem. If I keep them both set to refresh rates below their max, things work fine. However, if both monitors are set to their native refresh rates, the higher refresh rate one goes blank and the lower one starts flickering. If I disable the lower refresh rate monitor, I can set the higher one to it's max without issue though.

Essentially, when I'm booting into Bazzite, I need to either disable my second monitor or halve my refresh rate or it's unusable.

atocci ,

Pop_OS was the first distro I tried before coming to Bazzite. Cosmic sorta worked, but was overall worse... No flickering there, but eventually, a few minutes after logging in, the desktop would freeze. Completely unusable unfortunately. I think Bazzite is fedora based iirc? I don't know, this is my first attempt at anything beyond putting Ubuntu on old laptops.

atocci ,

Thankfully, these things are at least too low to stay in orbit indefinitely like that

atocci , (edited )

Yeah not to defend Elon or anything, but this post seems pretty misleading now that I'm looking into it. It doesn't look like they're failing to deploy satellites at all. They're up there and communicating with the ground based on every tracking site I'm looking at (including the one linked in the post). I don't know why the new satellites aren't being added to the network as soon as they're launched, but these satellites aren't dead so it seems way more likely to be a logistical choice rather than literally every satellite launched in the last 3 months immediately failing.

atocci ,

Wild concept, that planning ahead thing is

atocci ,

What does "deployed" mean in this context, then?

atocci ,

The fact that they've been launching satellites for months? Here's a Starlink satellite that launched last week I guess. You can search for Starlink in the catalog there and see tons of others in orbit as well from launches just over the past few weeks.Wikipedia also graphs all the Falcon 9 launch outcomes and it looks like they haven't had a failure to deploy a satellite to orbit since 2016?

Can you back up the claim that these satellites are failing before they've even been turned on? That seems like something that would be covered pretty extensively.

atocci ,

There aren't any defense contractors involved in this, it's a commercial internet service from a for-profit company. They can take as long as they want to activate their satellites as long as they're still communicating with the ground, which they are.

atocci ,

Fair, bad choice of words on my part. What I was trying to say is that Starlink isn't a government owned asset, it's a commercial product. While it has the potential for defense applications, the government has no reason to pressure them to activate satellites faster than SpaceX want to.

atocci ,

I'm in the same boat as you, and I definitely prefer Kbin still. Has Ernest said much recently, though?

atocci ,

You got me there, it is really frustrating that I have to open Edge if I want to have two tabs open at the same time.

The treasonous Automaton-sympathizing scum...

And since we know that dreams are dead,
And life turns plans up on their head,
I will plan to be a bum,
So I just might become someone.

atocci ,

Yeah, that makes sense now. Shenanigans were clearly going on when they specifically said they were retiring Hydraulic Atlas in the last video.

This one is even creepier than the last. Well done!

atocci ,

They probably mean, for example, not having to prompt the user to allow installs from "unknown sources", allowing alternative app stores to update apps and themselves automatically in the background like Google Play does, allow installations from alternative stores with one tap without extra user interaction, etc.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

atocci ,

I think you can still pay to license patented technology for commercial use if the patent holder is willing. Just because they haven't used it yet doesn't mean they won't though!

Transferring was straightforward enough, but there were a couple steps that involved waiting for things to update before you could continue and I forgot to get back to it for a while after they were done. Other than that, all my records seem to have transferred over correctly and all I had to do manually was reconfigure my DDNS client and set up email forwarding with gmail again.
