The pointlessness.
Which is why a poster should put the important quotes from the story in their post along with their own thoughts on it instead of just throwing a link and a headline over the fence.


I haven’t found anything that isn’t a shell backdoor that you let an llm run commands in, so strictly via chat interfaces.


It was a lot of noise about y2k happening. Then the particular new year came and y2k didn’t happen. Then life went on.
That’s of course more likely the said public transit site sucking at providing an API that works. But yeah, for a user that can be a good lpt.


Requesting mod action would probably work.

Curious to see if Mini reacts. Though I guess Mercedes didn’t with the e. Maybe they’ll call the next one golf.
One of the most important projects for humankind in it’s existence. Computing changed the world and keeps on changing it for the foreseeable future. GNU has lead the fight against its corruption.

I’m curious to know what you find. Wireshark is always fun and fun and enlightening. :)


Switches probably need to figure out which way a particular MAC is (unlike a hub, which just express everywhere). That’s the switching part. If they power off, the tables will be empty.


Such a shame. They’re pretty good and shouldn’t be involved in any stupid gimmicks like this.
Though gas still costs nothing in US.
