Because some people do click it. Children, old people, tech illiterate people. The exact target market for those wanting to exploit people.

In the early 2000s I was still arranging landline calls ahead of time with my friends because you couldn’t use the internet at the same time as the phone.

It was more that the person you were calling meant so little to you that you made the call while you were doing other things. Back then calling someone was almost like meeting them for coffee, often you would pre arrange the rough time you would call, and you were both engaged in the activity because you had to be at home sitting next to the phone. There was a certain effort to it that would seem lacking if you just could pull out a phone while you were walking down the street.

I was using realvnc but I hit the 3 free PCs quickly. I’ve since moved to nomachine and run it “locally” over tailscale.

I assumed it was clear what I meant,

I don’t support a blanket ban because there’s no way for that to work. I do support the concept of separating developing minds from predatory media.

How do you do it? I don’t know. It’s easy to say the answer is parental supervision, but if it were that easy it would be an already solved problem.

The way social media works means that by the time you identify predatory behaviour, it’s already too late to prevent it. The way the government has gone about it is ignorant and embarrassing.

They recently did this in Australia. The method just doesn’t work. Most kids weren’t banned at all, other kids figured ways around authentication, and the ones that were banned just use their family accounts or use the services logged out.

What makes it worse is that kids who now access the services by getting around the ban are being exposed to content aimed at adults like gambling adverts.

I’m not opposed to the concept, but the fact is that there is no realistic way to enforce it. It’s an impossible ban but they attempted it anyway by putting the onus on the companies that have no interest in the ban.

RAID5 and RAID6 can lose 1 and 2 drives respectively without data loss.

Where’s Microsoft on the list?

The satellite Cassini passed through a less dense section of Saturns rings and was met only by dust particles, despite the rings being populated by objects between 10 meters and the size of mountains.

Yes, Cassini

It shouldn’t be too hard to engineer orbit decay as a feature to avoid space junk.

Consider that space junk is so sparce it’s not really much if a consideration for launches. It’s like the rings of Saturn: the likelihood of a collision is so remote that they didn’t even consider it when we had a satellite move through it.

I know she did a duet with someone for a movie tie in song. I don’t remember the song, I don’t remember the movie, I don’t remember who the male singer in the duet was.

Sounds like they are a liability when you put it that way.

Wake up babe, new Fast & Furious plot just dropped

If we lose the meaning of the word NAS then we can’t effectively talk about it. And enough new people are coming in and being taught that a NAS is the thing that runs Plex that it’s sometimes impossible to have a conductive conversation.

For me it’s not about what else I can run on it. I want my services separated from my storage devices. If I throw everything into one physical machine it takes everything down if something goes wrong. It’s also harder to do upgrades without needing to replace entire machines

And as usual everyone is saying NAS, but talking about servers with a built in NAS.

I’m not saying you can’t run your services on the same machine as your NAS, I’m just confused why every time there’s a conversation about NASs it’s always about what software it can run.

I don’t think this is at all to do with that. This is sociopathy mixed with greed. He hid his mother’s body so he could run the pension scam in addition to his property portfolio.

What’s the problem with it being French? Or is this just a smooth-brained nationalist comment?

The whole point of jellyfin/Plex is to provide a feature rich UI for your video files on your hard drive. This is walking back from that to the point that you may as well just use vlc and map network drives on windows. Heck, just carrying around a SSD full of videos is easier than this.
