Edited to make the last sentence make sense.

Keep editing…

It’s also not a commonly-used term. “AI authentication” mostly refers to using machine-learning AI as an authentication method (eg image recognition, behavior observation, etc.)

This sounds more like just “fact checking”.

Why on earth would a journalist need to have input on authentication tools??

Surely this would be more suited for a cybersecurity expert?

Not that I’d trust an AI-based authentication system anyway.

Oh?

How do you digitize a DVD when it’s already digital?

I don’t think people quite understood what it actually meant until recently, and thought it meant just “knowing the truth while fully embracing a fiction”.

My nuncle has an eke name.

It should be public domain, but sadly it is not. Authors life + 75 years, 95 years from publication, or 120 years from creation.

I am the Linux folks.

FreeIPA is fine, and I don’t care much about the GPO aspect of Active Directory. But the standardization-by-ubiquity that made it easy for everyone to just follow along and make it so it Just Works has been a godsend.

Yes Microsoft built on the shoulders of giants but trying to make things work with OpenLDAP or the other also-ran directory services was a nightmare.

keywords like fi and esac

But it’s so clever!

Second best. The best was Active Directory.

Honestly it’s pretty good, but it’s very verbose in its commands and output.

The default settings are irritating but it takes only minor tweaks to make it tolerable (mainly fixing the tab completion)

It’s nicely consistent with its object handling.

As a windows shell it is head and shoulders above cmd.exe. I’ve thought about using it on Linux but there I like fish better.

Linux doesn’t generally use extensions to decide what shell to use, so it doesn’t matter if it’s an sh file or not.

If it uses bash of course you can substitute #!/bin/bash

And of course you can use whatever shell you want, just saying that POSIX-compliance is not really relevant since the script can specify what shell it needs.

#!/bin/sh

Hope this helps

Me trying to get LLM tools to work.

Well there’s your first problem.

…riiiiight.

That sounds right.

I’m also mostly familiar with the business lines: Dell Latitude and slightly less with HP ProBook.

Given the context that we were talking about laptop chargers rather than generic power bricks, I think it’s fair to consider standard laptop power supplies. (HP has the same connectors even though their protocol is different, and I’m not familiar with other brands but I expect they are much the same).

Unfortunately, barrel plugs tell you zilch about the power supply they’re connected to. They’re a dumb connector with no data capability whatsoever, and I’ve seen the same size of plug on power supplies with output anywhere from 3V to 24V.

That’s definitely not true: Dell laptop chargers and desktop power supplies do communicate what wattage they are able to supply.
