Applause for the marketing team who turned this bug into a feature

"Easy to Use - Please note that this USB-C to USB Adapter only supports single-sided 10Gbps high-speed transmission (while other brands only provide 1/2 transmission speed). [highlight begins] The Type-C female port allows you to switch between USB 3.1 speed and USB 2.0 speed with a simple flip of the Type C plug [/highlight]. Now you can enjoy unparalleled transmission quality from your devices!"

@jonty I actually have an external HDD that doesn't even fucking work on 3.0 mode so I have to use a hub or the USB 2.0 port on my Laptop.

@jonty that's what you get when you let marketing people generate copy with AI.

@jonty Honestly I think you'd do quite well at both of those

So I've been notified that my role is at risk. Would anybody like to hire a me.

I've spent the last 7 years as chief architect, which realistically meant doing every job from infrastructure to product and occasionally acting CTO. For the last two years I've been merging platforms of two billion dollar companies.

I am interested in everything, and curious to try new things.

I like python and postgres, but happy to quickly pick up any stack. You do not want me anywhere near your frontend code.

@jonty If you give some kind of location (at the very least continent, but country and region is better) in your post, you will improve the chances of useful boosts and responses.

@jonty the script originally had the humans provide processing power for the AI rather than bioelectric power (or something like that) but they simplified it a little for 90s audiences

Absolutely losing it after discovering what3words took control of the whatfreewords domain by arguing that "three" and "free" are indistinguishable when spoken.

wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search

A screenshot of a paragraph from the WIPO judgement. It reads:

"Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant’s distinctive WHATTHREEWORDS trademark as the disputed domain name is aurally and visually similar to the WHATTHREEWORDS mark. In that regard, Complainant further contends that the terms β€œthree” and β€œfree” are phonetically identical and indistinguishable when enunciated."

Accept purpose.

@jonty they are the everflowing well for people who want examples of why intellectual property is an obscene concept.

@jonty i understand the judgement but also VERY TYPICAL. w3w is such a mess

Hello!

It's me again: Your yearly reminder that drives fail, SSDs bitrot, and you probably need to do a review of your backup strategy. You should have at least two copies of anything you care about.

This message brought to you by a second drive in my ZFS array failing while the first one was still rebuilding. Happy holidays.

Last night the building housing @pixelbar hackspace in Rotterdam was completely destroyed by fire. They've lost everything.

If you can spare some cash to help them rebuild: pixelbar.nl/donations/

It turns out you can simply serve a file from a domain to use it as your bsky handle.

So this guy is now S3. All of S3.

@jonty@chaos.social this should have definitely been a TXT record in the DNS rather than a file on a website

(or force the file to be in .well-known I guess, like Lets Encrypt does)

Super handy tool that scrapes the bios and pinned tweets of everyone you follow on Twitter for fediverse usernames, outputting a CSV you can import into mastodon: fedifinder.glitch.me

I love this cyberpunk future where you can connect to the internet from 30,000ft above the atlantic ocean and change your order with the milkman
