After trying to make the wrong replacement handle work, I’m gonna cast my vote as no.

A Phony

Since a great deal of essential services rely on the Internet. It would probably be a bit like New York during 9/11 or Canada when one of their biggest ISP died.

Tank wars in qbasic was pretty legendary. Fortunately I had an older friend that knew how to key it all in.

This is loosely related so forgive me if it’s not helpful.

The world has been broken up into economic zones for some markets. Using DVDs as my example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

Mexico falls into region 4 while the USA and Canada fall into region 1.

This serves several purposes but I’ll focus on one.

This allows the publishers to sell DVDs at different prices for different regions. This is to accommodate the different buying power of the average citizen of these regions, without competing with themselves at an international level.

I suspect why you don’t see Mexico on the tag is a reflection of this concept. You’re not selling the book at an equivalent value and advertising that might cause salty customers that want the less expensive price. Or citizens of that country demanding the alternative price while abroad, complicating things.

26.9% performance gain over the 7800X3D

wow! did they figure out why?

I was listening to the radio and they had said to keep up with housing demand in my area they would need to create 35,000 homes per year for 30 years. Meanwhile we get maybe 25 houses at most. In 6 years the typical rent has quadrupled.

Horrible world we live in.

I’d suggest using IFME (https://x265.github.io/download.html) it does support MKV.

Due to the nature of video, using another codec will have some differences even if it’s minimal.

But if you encode the video as AV1 with conservative settings it should be possible to reclaim a lot of that space with minimal impact.

Metadata should be retainable but you’ll likely need to experiment.

Explore the trades. Welding and wind turbine repair is in high demand I’m told. With a degree you could potentially find your way into a management position too.

DDG (Try their AI chat!) + Firefox ESR has been my combo. I find DDG does a poor job with local community or very recent results. I often need to switch to google for that. So I’m curious what people have to say. Before the war, I would have suggested Yandex but now I’m not so sure.

Firefox ESR is very customisable with the extensions. But I’m not aware of a solution to have interactive wallpapers. (You could probably make one if you’re a tinkerer.)

Their mission is committing to provide “universal access to all knowledge”.

It’s rather depressing that people are attacking such a site. They might have even made a bit of coin if they responsibly reported it.

Sometimes when I’m clearing out properties I’ll find a mystery bottle of booze.

If it tastes like vinegar or not anything like you’ve had before it’s no good.

I have no idea why.

Sounds like HDD failure if its less than 2 years old it should all covered under warranty.

Surprise surprise when your IT budget is perpetually anemic.

If you have insurance, they typically have a hotline you can ask about stuff like this.

Specifically ANSI C. All those new hipster features will never catch on.

What are your thoughts on the alternative path the article talks about “…zeroconf, mDNS, or DNS-SD advertisements”?

Basically an unauthenticated perl interpreter with root open to the network by default in most configurations across a couple decades.

It’s about as bad as it can be?

I suspect that the anesthesia may have influenced your caffeine tolerance.

I tried to find a paper to support that idea but a lot of it is behind paywalls. So explore that possibility if you are interested.

I don’t think it’s the open wounds allowing more caffeine in.

So it depends. For example some legacy apple stuff had a bad DHCP implementation where it would try to hold onto an IP address it had before.

When there’s one DHCP server with a reserved ip it won’t assign that ip to the wrong device. (Unless you’re running some buggy software that takes your configuration as suggestions)

Where the advice to set it anyways comes from scenarios where that DHCP server goes down for long enough that everyone starts self assigning addresses. It’s a real hassle to find the correct system when that happens.
