(the algorithm lied to me)English6·8 months agoNo, it means the printer driver is running a web server to host the status page. Localhost is literally your computer.

By that logic, no support contracts are legal in the EU at all, and no product would ever be sunset.

They have a disclaimer that it needs to stay on the network for 60 days after it’s paid off, but I think that’s a CYA because mine was unlocked within a day of the last payment.
I just checked and I have 6 unlocked phones on my account and never requested any of them.

It’s a per-network setting that can be toggled off for your own private network if you want to.

mark3748@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusableEnglish5·10 months agoWinget is built-in, doesn’t require an elevated command prompt, and will actually update stuff installed from outside of winget if you want.
I use chocolatey for some kubernetes tools (fluxCD and helm) because they get updated a little bit faster (like a day or less) but it’s pretty much been made obsolete for my use.
That being said, if my job didn’t require me to use windows, I’d probably just use NixOS full time.

mark3748@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I keep my forwarded port secure?English255·10 months agoWhy is port 22 open? Is this on your router as well or just the server?
This is SSH, which you should pretty much never have open (to the internet! Local is fine) MC is by default 25565. You will have every bot on the internet probing that port.

mark3748@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•The First Nuclear Clock Will Test if Fundamental Constants ChangeEnglish11·10 months agoThe Idaho researchers observed that reversing the intrinsic angular momentum, or “spin,” of thorium-229’s outermost neutron seemed to take 10,000 times less energy than a typical nuclear excitation. The neutron’s altered spin slightly changes both the electromagnetic and strong forces, but those changes happen to cancel each other out almost exactly. Consequently, the excited nuclear state barely differs from the ground state. Lots of nuclei have similar spin transitions, but only in thorium-229 is this cancellation so nearly perfect.
Basically, thorium-229 can be excited by conventional lasers instead of gamma rays. Instead of millions of electron volts, it takes less than 10, which means it’s more reliable and more precise.
You’re saying that data centers are replacing batteries constantly…just imagine the labor costs on that (and the down time), not even considering the material cost.
I’m the tech doing the battery replacements. The big boy UPSes are typically a 3-5 year replacement cycle. Something like this:
(I just picked the last one on my phone so not a great picture, they’re about the size of a small refrigerator)
On rack mount and desktop style UPSes 18-36 months isn’t unreasonable. Some of the smaller UPSes, like APC 750s, go through batteries even faster. My personal theory is that they just get and stay too hot.
There is typically zero downtime while servicing any of them, every critical system has redundant power supply and battery replacements usually don’t interrupt power output anyway. It would take multiple failures to cause any sort of significant downtime, and if it would, we just do them during scheduled downtime.

And I’m still at work… fml
mark3748@sh.itjust.worksto Android@lemdro.id•Big oof: The Google Pixel Watch 3 can't be repaired, only replacedEnglish161·11 months agoI’ve worn my Series 4 every day since September 21, 2018. My son is still using the Series 3 I gifted him the same day. I bought that one September 22, 2017. I don’t baby my watch in any way
Thought about an upgrade a few times, but haven’t had a compelling reason to do so
I agree that the gatekeeping isn’t a good thing, but you should learn at least the basics of the CLI. It will give you a better understanding of what’s going on behind your GUI and makes troubleshooting and fixing problems a lot easier.
Definitely not required but it is absolutely a skill worth having.
