Just when you thought marketing people were already the lowest scum among legal professions they sink even further.

All these shady things started happening after he left.

Not really, they have a history of this kind of thing. They just calmed down a little between roughly 2005 and 2015.

The big antitrust case when they killed Netscape was in 1998. Bill Gate’s deposition from that case is kind of interesting to watch as a historical document. It’s on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL90W55zhFBOuZuhgxBsjpgDy0o3ll1PSz

In that lawsuit their “Embrace Extend Extinguish” strategy in which they tried to smother open standards became public too.

They tried with Java and their J++ language too, but failed luckily. And lost a lawsuit against Sun on the way.

There is this overview showing the options: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/wifiextenders/overview

I have only used the WDS mode once and none of the others, so my experience isn’t enough to make a recommendation.

I’ll just quote the OpenWRT Wiki here, because I think half the comments here confuse mesh and roaming:

Are you sure you want a mesh?

If you are looking for a solution to enable your user devices to seamlessly roam from one access point to another in your home, you need 802.11r (roaming), not 802.11s.

It is unfortunate that some manufacturers have used the word “Mesh” for marketing purposes to describe their non-standard, closed source, proprietary “roaming” functionality and this causes great confusion to many people when they enter the world of international standards and open source firmware for their network infrastructure.

• The accepted standard for mesh networks is ieee802.11s.
• The accepted standard for fast roaming of user devices is ieee802.11r.

These are two completely unrelated standards.

No, I don’t, but thanks for asking

I think there were like two couples and another person entering the building just ahead of me, so I had to wait 10 seconds until it was my turn to drop my envelope in the urn. This was in Switzerland, in a suburb of Zürich.

But more often I just walk in up to the box, say hello to the people organising and drop it in directly. I’ve never encountered a queue yet.

I got three, they all seem to work on me, but sometimes I prefer one over the other for no clear reason.

1. Counting my breath duration. Breath in at normal speed, count how long it is, then breath out slower than that by two or three counts.

2. Force my thoughts to become disorganised. I do something like free association between concepts and pictures of the inner eye. Common starting point for me is a free flight over a hilly landscape, then random things, woods, trees, rocks, water whatever, I don’t try to control anything about the theme. If I start thinking coherently or about something concrete from my life, I just start again, with another nature scene.

3. Imagine a calm scene. The suggested starting point I was told was floating on an air matteress in an alpine lake (helps that we know those around here, but I’m sure non-alpine lakes work too) and imagine the things you can see uphill as you drift around your axis.

Who is that? I looked up a picture but still got no idea.

Ah maybe it is. I don’t remember it very well anymore. Then it wouldn’t be a bad scene and more of a bad overall setup.

In the same vein, in looper where they start crippling the past version of a person and the future one who is running away from something gets starts stumbling more and more until he can’t walk, but the first few hundred meters he still made somehow.

improperly included GPL code

Shouldn’t that force a GPL release of the rest of the code, at least the bits they had the rights to?

I wonder who made all those countries want to join a defensive pact. Almost like there was a threat.

Now I want a cute girl anime where the cute girls are HEMA nerds.

Instead of Girls & Panzer make it Girls & Zweihänder

What you don’t like to deal with this mess? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contravariance_(computer_science)

I feel like this thread is missing Australians and Kiwis saying that it’s neither /ˈdeɪtə/ nor /ˈdætə/ but actually /ˈdɐːtə/. One of the Australian post docs in the group in which I did my thesis used that last one.

Ohh nice, that table helps. I felt like something was off about people sometimes using more /ði:/ than what I was taught!

Is it OK to simply dd the 128GB disk to the 32GB disk using count to stop after the 16GB partition was cloned?

I think it would work, but it seems a little overcomplicated, you can just use the partition paths as if and of of dd directly, as long as the output partition is not smaller than the input partition. For example dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sdd1 bs=4M status=progress

Your method would also copy the partition table I suppose, which might be something you want under specific circumstances, but then it would be a little harder to get the count right, just taking the size of partition 1 would be wrong, because there is some space before it (where the partition table lives) and dd would start at 0. You’d need to add up the start position and the size of partition 1 instead.

Personally I would prefer making a new partition table on the new eMCC, and create a target partition on it. Then you clone the content of the partition (i.e. the file system). This way the file system UUID will still be the same, and the fstab should still work because these days it usually refers to mounts by filesystem UUID in my experience.

If you make the target partition larger than the source partition, and you intend to use the full partition going forward you will additionally need to resize the filesystem to fit the new larger partition, for example with resize2fs.

In laptops the internal screen is usually attached over embedded Displayport (eDP) could be the same here. “native” doesn’t really say much.

Amazon sent a mouse mat that was the wrong box in the first place QcK Heavy instead of QcK, and even worse, inside was a dirty old mouse mat from a different brand entirely. It was annoying to post it back (internationally, they aren’t in my country) but they refunded without issue at least.

except that “man” wasn’t gendered at the time.

But I included that, didn’t I?

and back then “man” still refered to male and female persons

Or do you mean rather than male and female, I should have said persons regardless of gender? I guess that makes more sense.
