What's a RAN?

Orange braincell hard at work

I feel like if I walked into an unknown cabinet, turned a breaker off, and didn't see equipment go down I would start searching the web for part numbers of every major component to see if it was a battery backup. 6RU is not a ton of space for large objects.

As a former League player i felt kind of like that back then - a lot of people were just not nice people. I think some of that comes down to how certain PVP players are motivated insofar as personal agency - they want to be the high carry, they want to be why things won the way they did.

I saw that too in Overwatch 2 when that first came out with the rebalance to 5v5: suddenly everything was about personal agency and Blizzard decided that the game balance should favor that over strong teamwork (IMHO).

For me, that's why I got out of those two games and only play when I have nearly a full team of preexisting friends. I was always more focused on trying to get the team to the finish as a whole (maybe that comes from ending up as a support main).

Ended up finding my vibe in FF14 PvE, where everyone tends to work together better. That's not to say there aren't bad apples and problem children in a game that has minimal anticheat, but on average I feel like I see it a lot less - and fewer people who swear you out for just learning something new, where the general populace will often take time out of their own schedule just to help people along or explain something tough.

Sportsmanship isn't dead, it may just not be where you're looking.

Yup. My background is computer science transitioned to IT Infra.

My sister sent me a screenshot of a Spotify one-liner error, white text on black background, captioned "they wrote a lazy error". I immediately recognized that the actual problem was the load balancer in the front end trying and failing to connect to the backend/middleware in the first error, then in the second it recognized a failed health check and reporting that no back ends were available. Root cause is probably networking issue or actual server crash.

I also have a bonus that in high school I had watched a ton of videos on VFX/SFX and knew a rough way around After Effects and compositing (before I jumped into CS I had considered this as a career path), so now when I watch TV and movies I can also see some of the "layers" they use to compile the on screen effect.

LaserDisc ran at up to 1800 RPM also in a 30cm form factor

In the Tech Connections video on them, they sound like they're taking off when they spool up.

Forgive my ignorance in that case. I did very poorly on the unit that covered token ring, and was in perpetual self doubt because I got an answer wrong when I referenced the original manufacturer document instead of the slides.

Nothing against the protocol, I just didn't learn it properly and was born too late to see it in person. (I love learning about all tech)

This is the wireless equivalent of a single Ethernet cable. if you follow each of the dish pairs in a roughly straight line, you will hit another transceiver. This pole would be middle three nodes of this:

(Air Fiber) <-------> (Air Fiber) (switch) (Air Fiber) <--------> (Air Fiber)

Camera could also be plugged into the switch.

And yes, if a car impacts the pole, you lose that point to point link. Hope you got a failover plan or another set of air fibers that take a different path.

Memory unlocked that's been a hot minute ago

Didn't apple used to make their own IR remote for that? Is the hardware onboard the Mini preset to use their hardware or is it more generic once Linux is installed?

I didn't even know ETC existed until now, I thought that was a typo

The first few screens look like a combination reverse job board and Coinbase. But your description says "post stuff and create tokens", which doesn't quite seem to line up

Why?

I don't think Web3 contracts have tested case law yet, so who knows if it's enforceable in court, at most it may only be as strong as a gentleman's agreement. And the token part looks like an easy way to create rug pull coins, just on the ETH database instead of an independent database.

I hear it's also bad to get into a battle of wits with a Sicilian - especially when death is on the line.
