I oppose their not changing the speed of light.

I hate them for auto translating the video titles and descriptions with no way to turn them off, I even installed an extension to restore the original titles but YT broke it again intentionally or unintentionally with their unending tweaks.

Bloomberg’s lawyer to Steve: how DARE you contact us without going through another lawyer

Theoretically an ISP can block all outgoing queries to the DNS port 53 except to whitelisted servers, but now DNS over HTTPS exists, haven’t looked into how blockable that one is.

They are slowly taking it away with attestation though.

No problem, the VP will be at the door making sure they all say thank you.

So the glacier is not thousands of years old and the man did not time travel?

TSMC is not a government entity, why is it a party in this negotiation (if you can call it that) between governments anyway?

non-dead people continuing to live and work

Why do I have a vision of the Night King’s army

Oh, you said non-dead not undead

I know some programming languages use : for ranges and it is more legible if you support negative indices, but I think START-END is more natural reading and I’d use : for START:COUNT instead, e.g. 3:4 for 4 elements starting from 3, so elements 3,4,5,6 or 3-6.

You can even support both formats! (Feature creep warning)

They all do that, even those who intend to resign deny it until the day it happens.

Ishiba doesn’t have any big scandals currently, so I see less public outrage directed at him in the news and it feels more like infighting within the LDP (just my impression). Of course losing so many seats in the election is a cause for resignation but I’m not sure anybody who replaces him will be able to quell the public’s discontent either.

You got me :-)

Fascinating read. Did not know this thing existed, and invented by the famous Lin Yu-tang too.

Sorry, done.

And Nintendo JP says that “Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 cannot be remotely located, their users remotely identified nor disabled over the Internet” (tweet in Japanese warning people against accidentally losing or getting their consoles stolen over summer vacation)

But I bet it is more like “Nintendo won’t disable them remotely even if people report ones stolen to them with serial numbers and police reports”, but they’ll happily do so if they caught you using the console in an unapproved manner in their eyes.

Musk’s 130-day mandate as a special government employee in the Trump administration was set to expire around May 30.

Thought many speculated before that Trump would let Musk soak up all the DOGE unpopularity and dump him at this time limit.

There are multiple ISPs that offer 10Gbps Internet service in Japan and South Korea, I imagine other densely populated cities might have them also. There is also the Swiss ISP that offers 25Gbps Internet service since 2021.

Though I agree it is probably more used for LANs.

You made me realize a Maize Maze has a real part and an imaginary part.

He’s probably losing his job over this.

Reuters: Japan PM Ishiba to sack farm minister Eto over rice remarks, Kyodo says

I get what you mean, it does seem to be quite technically challenging, and perhaps not a frequent enough use case for devs to spend time solving for the moment, even though it would be something “nice to have”. Guess we’ll have to keep doing it the roundabout way.

Thanks for all who replied.
