Kum & Go is no more. Maverik bought them and rebranded them.

That’s not a bullion coin, it’s just a pre-64 quarter. It’s about $20 in silver, depending on spot price.

I collect coins, not silver, and these are not special in any way. I sell them for melt value to buy better coins.

I agree that the gatekeeping isn’t a good thing, but you should learn at least the basics of the CLI. It will give you a better understanding of what’s going on behind your GUI and makes troubleshooting and fixing problems a lot easier.

Definitely not required but it is absolutely a skill worth having.

No, it means the printer driver is running a web server to host the status page. Localhost is literally your computer.

Just giving them what they wanted.

Denuvo is DRM not anti-cheat.

Requiring a support contract to receive continuing updates of software that was very publicly approaching end of support, with published EoL dates for years now does not break any laws.

By that logic, no support contracts are legal in the EU at all, and no product would ever be sunset.

My pleasure 😁

Hi, you’re wrong. Goodwill Industries is a 501©(3) non-profit organization.

Hold up,

2024-1994=30 years

Since a century is 100 years, 1/4 would be 100/4=25 years

How did you get 32 years equals a quarter century?

They automatically unlock it once it’s paid off. They have a disclaimer that it needs to stay on the network for 60 days after it’s paid off, but I think that’s a CYA because mine was unlocked within a day of the last payment.

I just checked and I have 6 unlocked phones on my account and never requested any of them.

Apple will randomize your MAC when connecting to networks to maintain privacy. It’s a per-network setting that can be toggled off for your own private network if you want to.

There is no application. It’s a literal typewriter. It takes a key press and stamps it on the paper.

Winget is built-in, doesn’t require an elevated command prompt, and will actually update stuff installed from outside of winget if you want.

I use chocolatey for some kubernetes tools (fluxCD and helm) because they get updated a little bit faster (like a day or less) but it’s pretty much been made obsolete for my use.

That being said, if my job didn’t require me to use windows, I’d probably just use NixOS full time.

Why is port 22 open? Is this on your router as well or just the server?

This is SSH, which you should pretty much never have open (to the internet! Local is fine) MC is by default 25565. You will have every bot on the internet probing that port.

No, it’s spelled with an ö, not an ő. They aren’t even from the same language. The double accent is Hungarian.

You’re saying that data centers are replacing batteries constantly…just imagine the labor costs on that (and the down time), not even considering the material cost.

I’m the tech doing the battery replacements. The big boy UPSes are typically a 3-5 year replacement cycle. Something like this:

(I just picked the last one on my phone so not a great picture, they’re about the size of a small refrigerator)

On rack mount and desktop style UPSes 18-36 months isn’t unreasonable. Some of the smaller UPSes, like APC 750s, go through batteries even faster. My personal theory is that they just get and stay too hot.

There is typically zero downtime while servicing any of them, every critical system has redundant power supply and battery replacements usually don’t interrupt power output anyway. It would take multiple failures to cause any sort of significant downtime, and if it would, we just do them during scheduled downtime.
