Poor Seang Chau. They wrote this blog post in a total of three paragraphs, but Google was still like “WOULD YOU LIKE AN AI SUMMARY?” at the top.
Literally took me about 45 seconds to read all of the features, but Google is over here burning down another rainforest to process an AI summary of a three paragraph blog post with three pictures.
Chances are you’ve had the same public IP for a long time. Mine hasn’t changed in 2 years.
Your “IP address” is already public. That’s why an IPv4 address is assigned to you as a “public IP address” and you NAT to a private space. When using IPv6, everything is public.
The key is to secure everything with access restrictions.
Cool… I’ll stick with my wires that work every time and don’t have latency, batteries, and connection problems thanks.
Just because Ubuntu left it behind doesn’t mean there aren’t distros still supporting 32 bit.
However, anything still running x86 without x86_64 support is hella old at this point.
Nah I saw it on FF as well. Forcing an update on the “Quick Fixes” blocklist on uBlock Origin got rid of it.
Germany has done this multiple times before. Microsoft has historically swept in with some sweetheart deal to lure them back.
Hopefully it sticks this time.
Debian or Linux Mint, if you want a no-nonsense, just works kind of experience.
A language I wish would die already, but there are still vendors that program in it, along with freaking Tomcat hosted applications. EduTech is still stuffed to the gills with it.
Probably for docked Decks attached to a 4K TV/Display.
Flatpak is a fully open source technology. You’re thinking of Snaps.
Are you sure about that? You still have to step through a dozen setup screens and forcefully sign into a Microsoft account. Then, you have to update your new computer and reboot 4-5 times to install all updates often sequentially.
Meanwhile, in Linux-land, it installs the latest packages and updates during install when using a net installer.
Thanks for the PTSD.
You can turn that off and apply patches live, if you prefer. It’s just a toggle.
Technically rebooting and installing updates is “safer” but I’ve never had an update applied to a running system fail catastrophically, because unlike Windows, operating system components are compartmentalized. As such, restarting most system components causes no issues with functionality for everything else.
Neutral and Ground are bonded at the first point of disconnect, which provides two paths to ground in the event a ground is lost was my point. Not that there are somehow “two Earth’s”.
Except with proper arc and ground fault protection on a circuit, which is mandatory on basically everything in North America now, you could half insert a plug and stick your tongue to it without getting a shock.
American electrical systems have bonded neutrals and grounds at the point of disconnect, so in the event of a ground fault, there are multiple layers of safety involved.
Lower voltage by using half of a split phase 240V means shocks are less deadly.
Electrical code also requires Arc and Ground fault protection on all circuits.
The biggest advantages to European electrical systems are smaller and fewer conductors, due to higher voltage, and appliances like kettles can draw more watts as a result.
Both systems have advantages and disadvantages, but saying that American Electrical systems are “the most unsafe electrical systems in the world” is bullshit. Visit India where people regularly hook up unsanctioned taps to live power lines or Central America where they put electric hot water heaters literally in the shower, conductors and all, almost always by Handyman Juan who doesn’t hook up any ground fault protection.
Lower voltage is less deadly.
Having a multi grounded approach provides multiple layers of safety for shorts.
Just to name a few.
This.
That said, it’s rare that only one or two outlets in a garage are tied to a breaker. Usually they’re all on one circuit in older homes, in my experience.
If you can find a circuit like this, though, it’s perfectly valid. Many chargers made for 110V also have a 230V/15 or 20 amp mode. My Mother-in-law’s portable charger has a 230V NEMA 2-20 adapter that comes in the bag with it.
