Most definitely, that is faster and cheaper than using socketed ram.
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation refuses voluntary union recognition, hires union-busting law firm 1 week ago:
This is why we need sector based unions rather than site based.
They are far more effective than site based unions.

I am a Swede, and I do remember my dad having a petrol heater fitted to two of his SAABs, it had a timer and everything.
I get the point of that, but never really connected the two concepts…

Thank you for the info!
It is interesting to see how differently we use our vehicles, even in similar conditions.

- Comment on Anthropic says its own AI models breached three companies during security tests 2 weeks ago:
What I think happened is that, they had their AI model analyze the source code, have it work to find vulnerabilities, and then used those to attack systems

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, the feddiverse feels soo much more grown up when I can accurately post my frustrations and emphasize them as I want when talking about the current global political shit show.
Also, not being censored for using words that accurately describe tough issues.
By self censoring, we make the issues we are dealing with appear like a joke, making it hard to have a serious discussion about topics that are important.

So far, I know of only two energy drinks that tastes good.
- Burn Apple Ginseng, mild and smooth apple flavor, great for sipping 50cl during a 12h night shift.
- Monster VR64, tastes like generic chemical orange flavor, fairly mild, I like it.
If I need an energy drink I mostly drink Red Bull, tastes fucking terrible, but does the job

Exactly, if he had made it public, perhaps even with a collaborative list, and with easy opt-in and out controls, it would have turned into a feature, rather than a mess.
I mean, look at uBlock or adblock plus, both support filter lists and it has turned into a massive selling point.
But he was too narrow minded to even consider that.
- Comment on Any politician who disagrees needs to go 2 weeks ago:
I am well aware of governments doing a lot of shady shit in the name of public health.
My country, Sweden, for example, did a shit load of terrible stuff, among the most famous examples are:
- Forced sterilizations were a thing here from 1934 all the way up to 2013 with various criteria.
- The tooth decay experiments at Vipeholm is an absolutely awful thing to learn about.
I am also aware of the US government’s tendency to use their population as test subjects without consent under the guise of public health.
While I knew all of that, I didn’t think about it at the time of my comment, I was busy trying to find a fun name for the fictional force.

The US loves war, they have had the war on terror, the war on drugs and now they have the war on immigration and freedom.
But sadly there has never been a war on sickness…
What would that look like, I mean you have the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, what about setting up a Public Health corps?
I am talking, military uniforms, armored mobile trauma centers, guns (every one in the US loves guns), emergency swat style units to quickly access unhealthy people, Public Health corps facilities where unhealthy or sick people get taken to and treated, tactical gear for doctors and nurses, picatinny rails on syringes, camo scrubs, tactical public vaccination vehicles (thinking like a jeep without a roof, fully loaded with doctors and nurses with air rifles firing vaccines, doing raids in anti vax areas.
Humm, I kinda want to see a movie like that, enforced mandatory public healthcare…

The whole thing is so dumb, the feddiverse is still so small that arbitrary restricting content from users as well as preventing users and even admins from managing or even knowing about the blocklist is a sure way to get people to stop using your software.
Whoever made this decision is clearly an idiot.

You might have had a GPO configured to stop this.

The LDA won’t show up in Add/Remove programs, it is a small DLL that beings up a branded popup by the clock asking you to download the Logitech control software.
The LDA popup looks like this currently:
If you google Logitech Download Assistant you will find a lot of posts about it and asking how to uninstall it.
To check if you have it on your computer, you can open the Task Manager, go into the Startup tab, and check the list there.
You can also check the System32 folder and look for a file called LogiLDA.dll
- Comment on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without user consent 3 weeks ago:
What happens is that when you connect a Logitech mouse or keyboard to a Windows 7/10/11 machine for the first time, Windows Update doesn’t just download a driver (a .inf file) but also Logitech Download Assistant (a .dll file) and runs it.
You will then get a branded popup in the system tray prompting you to download the actual control software.
The LDA software is set to always run in the background, it also doesn’t show up in add/remove programs, and is rather annoying to get rid of.

Same shit as Logitech has done for several years, plug any logitech mouse into a Windows 7/10/11 machine and it will automatically install Logitech Download Assistant without any prompt.

Yeah, I realize that, but from what I have heard, Microsoft took the franchise from Bethesda and gave it to Obsidian.
