They’re in an orbit that works with jupiters current mass. If Jupiter gained enough mass to trigger fusion then I would think that many of them would with fall in or be slung out of orbit.

I’d be interested to see if anybody has done the math though to see how that would all play out.

Some areas have basic consumer protection. Such as a habitation must be fit to live in.

Renting out an apartment with 2 feet of water in it all times, or black mold, or no water or front door is often covered by specific legislation and then, if not, then by the consumer protection statutes.

Which may be the approach some lawyers will have to take if this gets bad enough.

“I can live in my apartment except for 5 weeks where I have to go someplace else” is what we may start seeing in future civil actions.

If the building becomes unlivable it’s an issue. high temps with high humidity can literally lead to heat stroke since no amount of fans will help since you literally can’t cool off even with sweating.

What that fix is, I’m not sure, but some buildings in areas of the south become ovens during heat waves and without AC people will get sick or die.

How long before this shows up as a piracy meme on noncredibledefense?

And that’s the point of the game. It’s an art piece on the horrors of war.

A deep dark look at what war truly can be instead of the glorified way it’s often portrayed.

Heavy like This War of Mine and Papers Please

Yeah. You don’t mess with tree law. Since there’s no guarantee that the trees transported will take and it has to be done again.

The poisoned water way is a new twist on the old I’m an idiot who’s going to pay dearly for my hubris motif.

There’s a psychological stress with work that can take some time to slough off.

Some people don’t want to log out of work and be grumpy or distracted during family time.

That being said having a process or system as a habit to denote work/home is a good alternative.

A 10 minute walk, a change of clothes, or some song you play, anything that creates a mental delineation. So the annoyance from that way too long meeting asking why something isn’t done (4 hours a day giving out status updates isn’t helping) doesn’t come out on the family.

I love the internet archive but yeah, there was just no way this wasn’t going to backfire. And by handling things the way they did they damaged the reasonable defense of archivist (not only for themselves) because publishers and others often cite that archival and backups are just “pseudonyms” “synonymous” for piracy.

They aren’t but the way this was handled made it impossible for them to argue otherwise and it also creates a legal precedent for lawsuits and judgments by publishers against others who are doing such work.

Apple, phonus mobilus?

It’s already been used far beyond its planned operational status and everything since then has been gravy.

It’s amazing that they’re able to find workarounds to keep it useful for scientific tests and analysis.

It’s a fine line. If they’re working on them reporting the issue before it’s resolved increases the risk somebody can use this as a kind of todo list of social and technical engineering weakpoints to get at other user data.

You may not but the customer support rep at a company that had your info uses windows. Same for the insurance companies, various government agencies local with limited it experience as well as national.

Cat dog and Renn and Stimpy too. Silly comedy for the sake of being silly.

That movie was bonkers… and then they made a game inspired by it? That’s…. Weird

On the one hand that’s ridiculous but it’s nice to see that they didn’t throw the prior owner under the bus or give out their info.

Offloading the data to the cloud and making it accessible on other devices no longer signed into iCloud.

That is so much worse if true.

He’s a fickle god whose blessings are focused or blurred as willed by the denizens of the QA realm.

But with daily focus and attention to details, and frequent donations to Ali, you too may be able to receive the blessings.

Devotee level: Owner of Frank, Ender with a new brain, new smithing implements of Steel from Dragons who Fly of the land of Phaetus, new vessels of power who practice the ancient and yet new arts of CAN, Trained daily and under the supervision of Pi wielder of the chalice of Klipper.

Good point.

I wonder if they’re doing that to reduce the write cycles on the cells and since they’re “encrypting” the contents of the cells they figure the overall IO flag of the data being deleted is “good enough”.

So, in a perfect world, when you wipe the phone it’s basically just trashing the encryption key and so it’s useless data.

That’s all assuming that the encryption method/keys are foolproof which is always a bad bet.

And, this here makes me wonder how effective that is.

And a person claimed in a later post that “around 300” of their old pictures, some of which were “revealing,” appeared on an iPad they’d wiped per Apple’s guidelines and sold to a friend.

That’s a huge issue. Not just for photos but also files for sensitive data, secrets, etc. this, if true, is a massive issue overall since it even happening at all shouldn’t be possible.

Here’s the ELI5.

Imagine there’s a set of lockers in a school.

When a student leaves the school or changes lockers they remove the label on the locker but don’t empty it.

A TRIM, however, means that they not only remove the label from the locker by also clean out its contents.
