One of best aspects of my firm is a Teams chat run by our incident management department, with about 700 key techs across enterprise receive updates on problems and issues trending that way. Anyone can raise flag about something weird, if confirmed gets split out. Just discretion. Not intended for management consumption, that's handled by incident department.

I am setting up my new hard drive. I think I want to put a NTFS partition at the end of the drive and a Linux partition at the start of the drive. I assumed NTFS wants to be created by Windows, so I went into "Disk Management" and it's… mysterious. I guess what I want to do here is create one "blank partition" filling the non-NTFS bits and then one NTFS partition filling the rest?

Does ANYTHING on ANY OS care if the GPT is created by Windows, Linux, whatever?

Incidentally I do think that Windows 12 situation is interesting as an example of how this stuff gets laundered into social media bait. It was a multi-step process!

The original article in German on PC Welt wouldn't have trended since it was in German. Then it got roughly translated into English for PC World, and *that* version gave it the veneer of respectability despite being conjecture with absolutely no sourcing.

It’s so depressing how quickly as a society we crossed the Rubicon from “plagiarism is bad” to “mass everyday use of the plagiarism machine is good and inevitable and if you don’t get with the program you’re worthless.”

It’s so hard to be a person attempting to live with integrity in this world at this time. The grind is just constant.

British Columbia passed a law that they're done with biennial DST changes starting next year and a bunch of people are fauxpset that they picked "permanent DST" as the solution instead of "permanent standard time."

As someone who, for a long time, was in charge of scheduling games for his local baseball association, let me tell you that "permanent standard time" would be a disaster for summer-time organized sports. All of your fields without lights would instantly become pretty much unusable if the sun sets at 7:30 instead of 8:30 in July.

Your circadian rhythms will be fine, you ninnies -- your young parents won't be if Jimmy can't play his favourite game any more because his local municipal budget doesn't have any money to install floodlights.

More news out of : Edge Impulse Studio is now fully integrated in the Arduino App Lab, the IDE that lets you write programs that can make use of both the application-class Linux-based and real-time microcontroller chips on the Arduino UNO Q.

For AI.

No, wait, come back! It's the good kind! Machine learning! You can use it to train machine learning models on your own ethically-sourced data and run them entirely on-device.

ngl, one reason i am not going to start using LLMs (besides all the other reasons) is that literally everyone i've ever encountered who goes all-in on slopcoding ends up talking like a fucking cult evangelist about them, and i'm not interested in becoming a fucking cult evangelist.

like even the (very) few slopcoders that i actually still like and mostly respect: i don't think y'all understand how incredibly fucking creepy you sound all the time!
