/rant Assuming you’re in the US, though it applies elsewhere, but an energy/transportation revolution would be much nicer. I don’t see much of a point with electric vehicles if that renewable energy is going into businesses and homes anyways - there is no surplus of renewables that electric vehicles can use and claim “net 0.” Most of our electricity is from fossil fuels and yeah renewables reduce that - nice! For now, nuclear is unfortunately too close to home for most people and we are going to struggle more with ineffective alternatives. I think electric vehicles are nice, but they represent a technological feat, not a social one. Technology is much easier to engineer and is thus much less impressive or impactful than a social feat like pushing for nuclear or geothermal. /unrant

This is hilarious because I can attest to this. I took a class where we were partially graded on security - part of that was proper SQL parameterization. Half of my team couldn’t / wouldn’t be bothered to do so. It was just impossibly hard to get them to do so, almost as if I was asking them to do 10 pushups for every line of code.

I fiddled with TI BASIC in school and wrote a horrifying abomination that ran Minesweeper. Complete with 3x3 clearing and flagging. Calc 1 was my free period.

/nerd if those are image/video files, they are likely already compressed and are high entropy high randomness. They probably wouldnt have a 1:5 compression ratio /unnerd

I feel like Google’s CEO has plausible deniability here since they are using GNIS records. That’s ignoring how cozy the corporation and President are, in order to relax Big Tech regulations. Trump is just getting his way unfortunately ever since he butchered most of the government, so I guess we have his lackey Doug Burgum to thank for swinging the axe here.

Same mate, every room I enter. I could fit the amount of stuff I say every day into one page of a word document.

Yes but it’s very much so in beta. You can use it but expect loss of some functionality

It might go away if you give it some usage. I had a t440p that had this issue as well and I couldn’t identify what made it stop. It can get really annoying. There’s not really anything you can besides updating the firmware and software or identifying the specific component and sealing it. Or returning it - but the g5 seems nice overall. Maybe talk to a Lenovo rep? I’m just a random guy on the Internet.

Libreboot just replaces the stock BIOS firmware with a Coreboot distribution version. The contents of the flash rom. Things like WiFi cards, keyboard, multi-touch trackpad, usb ports, Ethernet, SD cards readers, etc. could be affected by a new firmware. I mention SD card reader because mine didn’t work on the T440p when I installed Libreboot, but hey, that’s a compromise I guess.
