For Windows, this may not be enough: https://m.majorgeeks.com/content/page/the_truth_about_window...

There is a gender-indeterminate alternative: people.

Using "man" to refer to all people stopped being popular last century.

Twelve years later, if there's still so much misconception about /dev/(u)random, has the man page been fixed?

Edit: can't count.

That was hard to tell where the additional commentary on the fact ended and the next myth started.

Yeah requires a free Bluetooth radio and has a bit of setup, but in my opinion, it's well worth it to not be reliant on Android or iPhone, which has always given me problems.

> Now if home assistant could get thread network join*ng working without an android phone with a google account

There is already a way to do this. It's fiddly, but not by much. Once set up it's a much better experience, though.

I can tell you don't actually know what goes on on a dairy farm.

To misquote Douglas Adams:

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what Kubernetes is for and how it works, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

11 years of mandatory telemetry in Windows, and it still takes a huge amount of noise from users and journalists online over a long time for Microsoft to notice and finally make change. What good is the fucking telemetry then? Why can I still not turn it off?

You can disable the YouTube app's handler for YouTube URLs. In the app info, open by default. I haven't tried it, but presumably, all YouTube URLs will then open in your browser.

In all these nostalgic retrospectives, I never read how the zip drive can achieve 100x or more capacity than the floppy. What is the engineering feat that allowed this? There's one paragraph in Wikipedia that says the heads fly across the disk like a hard drive. OK, how did they manage that while the disk isn't sealed? Is that all it took?

Similarly, articles just gloss right over the "click of death" without any technical explanation of what goes wrong. Why were these drives and/or media so prone to failure?

There's nothing new in this article.

If I were an epileptic, I would appreciate seeing the warning before I buy the game, not once I've launched it. Which, by the way, invalidates Sony's return policy.

That's interesting. Do you have further reading? I've seen AFACT v iiNet, but that doesn't look to be the source of "cost of renting", just that the ISP isn't responsible for their users.

> The email is optional and only if you want to see the calibration curve and the question breakdown sent to you.

That still doesn't make sense. Why can't it just be shown on the page?

Replying to the wrong person and trying to replace a phrase that wasn't used. Bravo, you take the cake for low effort post.
