I had that. I was very close to losing my arm, but I was lucky enough to get to a hospital quickly, and I ended up being there for 3 weeks, with 5 full surgeries under anstesia to remove infected tissue.

I'm telling you this to be aware of the signs. It started with minor pain when I put my elbow down on the table. This happened in the evening. The next morning there were some redness on the skin but I went to work. I visited a doctor who concluded there was an infection and recommending antibiotics. By the afternoon there was swelling and I was in quite a bit of pain so I went to the emergency. By the time I got there I could barely hold the pen when I signed my name on the form.

If you ever have a rapidly increasing infection, go to the hospital right away. Waiting a day could mean losing a limb.

Regardless of anything else, there are no circumstances under which companies like Uber would decrease traffic. This is because of two effects: Firstly, any regular car ride replaced with an Uber ride will result in more road-hours, since there is now a car travelling to your pickup point as well travelling on the road after dropping you off.

Secondly, the convenience of Uber can cause more travellers taking a car instead of public transport, again increasing the total number of road-hours.

Is there even a hypothetical scenario under which any of these private hire companies would reduce traffic? The only theoretical benefit is that less parking spaces are needed.

Not only that. Backroom deals without public documentation has been done since the beginning of humanity.

Even if blockchains were widely used, these things would happen outside the blockhain and no one would be the wiser.

When replying with an LLM generated piece of text, I would suggest at least reading it before posting.

It's the likes by AMD on what is obviously an LLM generated post.

I fully expect that we will soon hear how Apple revolutionised the industry by pioneering repairability.

I use KeepassXC and sync the database on my Nextcloud instance. It works really well, as long as you have Nextcloud of course.

It's been a while since anything failed on Proton. I can't really see why anyone would jump through the hoops to run Windows on this thing.

In Swedish it's called medsols and motsols. The iteral translation is with the sun and against the sun.

Yes. If you turn off a computer it can't be compromised.

But I think the interesting question is if its possible have a system that does something useful, while at the same time be 100% secure.

The answer is probably yes, especially small systems that have been designed for a single purpose, but it would be incredibly difficult to prove it. Just because it hasn't been compromised yet doesn't mean it won't in the future.

Even doing a formal proof only proves things within the abstract model the proof works with.

I had an account there. I never used, but I posted a few times just to see what it looked like.

The UI wasn't bad, and if they have any resources left they should repurpose that UI on top of Mastodon.

Just because there are other things that are worse, or at least as bad, doesn't mean we shouldn't call put bad behaviour when it happens. And written MS it keeps happening.

It's been a while (well decades) since I used road tyres, but at least mountain bike tyres are famously recommending way too high pressure. I run about 1.3 bar in mine, while the recommended pressure on the tyres are 2.0 if I'm not mistaken.

And 2.0 is impossible to ride with. Apparently they do this to avoid lawsuits if the tyre punctures so they can argue you were running them out of spec.

In a way, the media hype was not completely bad. It helped ensuring there was budget to fix all those systems.

Mostly retro games. Retroachievements is amazing, and creates an entire new dimension to retro games. I've been score chasing a bunch of Atari 2600 games as evening entertainment.

As for Steam games, Neon White is pretty good. I've also been playing Hifi Rush, but have gotten stuck on a battle that I can't seem to beat.

I think this highly depends on where you are. I haven't flown to the US since 2000, so I can't speak for how it's there, but I fly a lot in Asia and Europebamd the only major difference is that the security check is a bit stricter (but not by very much, you have to take the laptop out of the bag these days, but that's about it).

I remember seeing armed soldiers at the airport in Paris back in the 90's so that's nothing new really.

Remember the Wil Wheaton drama? If you know, you know :-)

I'm going to as far as saying don't watch either the first or second season of Discovery. The first season is just bad, and the entire second season is them fixing all the continuity holes they created in the first one.

Then they send the ship away and let it do its own thing in a different timeline and all of a sudden it becomes pretty good.

I accidentally subscribed to it, and since I get a 500 error every time I try to visit it (problem with fedia.io I think) I cannot unsubscribe.

It's kind of annoying.

It's a mystery. It's a real shame it's impossible to explain.
