My download speed to upload speed is about 34:1 (1200/35=34.286). They really don’t give you much more upload speed than what’s required for you to actually hit the advertised download speed.

MRI’s are still plenty dangerous when they aren’t scanning(“on”). The magnets don’t ever turn off unless you release all the helium which is typically a last resort. They can do it slowly for servicing but it’s costly or rapidly for emergencies but it usually trashes things.

Seems like the simplest solution is having a locking observation booth. Family can watch from the booth or go to the waiting room. This doesn’t prevent staff from responding to anything and actually keeps the family out of the way if there is an emergency. No high tech gizmos required. Are they go to like it? Probably not. Then off to the waiting room.

How you use it may be asymmetric but the actual connection being sold that way is garbage. I have 1200mbps down but only 35mbps up. If you’re downloading something over TCP(most stuff) then you need to send acknowledgment packets back to the server you’re downloading from. The faster you download the more upload you use as well. When your connection is as imbalanced as mine then almost any upload of even a moderate size is gonna make a huge dent in your download speed. I’m moving to a 3gbps symmetrical fiber line…

It also lets you specify apps and contacts that can get through. As well as an option for ‘repeat calls’ so if someone tries multiple times it will block them initially but let them through later even if not on any of those lists. You can also customize the Home Screen when in DND or any focus for that matter.

I actually wanted to type duck the other day and it autocorrected to fuck…I was kind of proud. I’ve finally corrected it so many times it learned!

That’s fine…they don’t need to release it under their Exos line of enterprise drives. SMR don’t do well in raid arrays especially not highly utilized ones. They require idle time to cleanup and the rebuild times are horrendous.

Coders spent more time prompting and reviewing AI generations than they saved on coding.

See that’s the problem right there. You’re just suppose to take its output as gospel and move on. Skip this “reviewing” step and massive productivity gains await!

Obviously /s

Depends on your use case. The linked drive according to seagate’s spec sheet is only rated for about ~6.5 power-on hours per day(2400 per year). So if just in your desktop for storage then sure. In an always (or mostly) on NAS then I’d find a different drive. It’ll work fine but expect higher failure rates for that use.

Why did they make an enterprise grade drive SMR? I’m out.

Gonna toss in Doug Jones. If the character is in a full body suit there is a very good chance it’s him. He is an entire legion of monsters.

Not the person you’re replying to but I’m the same as them. For me it’s neither of those options. There just isn’t anything I go out of my way for. I mean sure, I have preferences like anybody else but I’m the person that can eat the same thing 10+ times in a row and that’s totally fine. It’s more or less all the same to me.

Just FYI there are stipulations to removing PMI from a mortgage but refinancing usually isn’t one of them. Each situation is unique though. FHA and VA loans are different, etc.

I liked when the Chicago Sun-Times put out a summer reading list and only a third of the books on it were real. Each book had a summary of the plot next to it too. They later apologized for it.

As another who learned to code prior to AI tools…they’re somewhere between mildly annoying and infuriating more than helpful in most cases I’ve ever used them for.

My work turned on Copilot reviews in GitHub. Most of our projects are in C#. So it’s Microsoft all the way down. Some of the recommendations it makes on PR’s violate the C# specs. So if you actually accept its code changes the code no longer even compiles. It also recommends the long hand code for built in operators that are identical but far less code(??= for example). Meanwhile Visual Studio recommends the opposite.

We have this whole process around dismissing the suggestions so this just wastes so much of my time on code that’s so broken it doesn’t even comply with the language specs.

I’ve tried using it for simple data generation as well. Like asking for 50 random dates and all it did was make a loop and generate new dates by incrementing the day each iteration. That’s not random. This is a simple task and I just didn’t want to type it out.

My favorite is still Microsoft Zune… Which was a music store, music subscription service, a desktop app, and a physical media player.

It’s like they want their stuff to literally be unsearchable on the internet. Renaming Remote Desktop to Windows App is a prime example of this. Good luck trying to search for that and get what you want.

My appliances are ‘smart’ but I didn’t bother actually connecting them to my WiFi. I guess preheating the oven remotely could be cool(?) but nah.

The stuff I do use…

The microwave above the stove can talk via Bluetooth(no app or phone involvement at all). Turn on a burner and you can set it to turn on the light and/or vent fan. Another nicety is being able to set the clock on the stove with the full keypad and it just syncs to the microwave.
