western digital bought sandisk ~ 8 years ago as a form of self-preservation. their core business of mechanical hard drives was already in decline and being replaced by something completely different.

absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.
55mbps down will be enough when lower cost is most important. it’s about the download speed we have at the office (55mbps), and at home too (faster but network gear is slower than the pipe coming in, so 55-60mbps is what i get on the main pc).
we can have a remote desktop going with multimedia coming through that (for work; low bitrate but latency matters), 2-3 hd streams, a couple screens on web sites, something downloading a huge batch of updates, an online ‘shooter’ game being played, and still not worry about loading up something else to use some more.
for straight downloads from servers and cdn that can handle it, expect 2-4 minutes for a typical linux iso download, and for big downloads about 25 gigabytes per hour max.
the two clients i have here that were still using it got automatically switched to ‘ultra av’
“i thought he was just gonna cut their benefits, not mine!”
(where ‘their’ represents any one of a dozen demographic groups where the whiner and diaper share a hatred of)
effectiveness of ublockorigin, noscript, or other privacy/security related addons in your browser are unaffected by ech.
a pihole on your network is likewise unaffected, as it alters the dns requests so clients like your browser or tv can’t even resolve a ‘bad’ domain to an ip.
in the olden days, one ipv4 could host one domain securely. when a client connected to that ip, the connection was encrypted with the cert for that domain it was hosting.
the finite ipv4 space was gobbled up like crazy between this and every fucking thing on the planet wanting to be online.
an update to conserve ipv4 space allows one to host multiple domains (i.e. different sites on different domains, all using https) on one ip. to do this, the client needs tells the server which domain it’s looking for on the ip it’s connecting to–in the clear. once the server knows what cert to use, an encrypted connection can be set up.
‘encrypted client hello’ (ech) allows that initial request to be encrypted.
that’s pretty much all it does.
suspends debt limit
where’s master of ‘efficiency’ elon now?
oh yea.
putting two and two together:
no debt limit = unlimited tax cuts for the wealthy
while still cutting services and benefits for the masses.
soon as donvict kicks him out of the clubhouse, old spice goes and buys congress (for basically sofa cushion change) to derail everything.
hmmmmmm.
old spice might not even make it til donvict is crowned.
is it a breach if they were invited in?

shoutout to republicants who have been trying to kill public education for a generation.
they’re trying harder to hide that now. as of last year, a sg-based holding company owns a uk-based company which owns the original developer, the software, and numerous regional branch offices.
kinda sucks, because it is a nice program. doesn’t have feature parity with microsoft office, but it’s got pretty much everything that most users need or would want. it’s also horribly slow on lower-spec hardware.
that’s brother’s software. they have added a lot of crud to them in recent versions.
when they’re actually needed: custom install, drivers only, and along the way watch for any optional and undesirable settings to disable.
probably because you’ve already turned off the ‘features’ that show them.
that lockscreen crap can be turned off, too, btw.
“hey look at all that budget we cut!”
“what to do… what to do… already cut my taxes, three times… hmmmm…”
“i know, lets go to mars! you’re buying.”
yup. cable got too damn expensive to have just to be able to get the local channels (only way to get them where i am). really should’ve dumped them years before i finally did. haven’t had a streaming sub in a couple years either. i mainly watch old recordings (some on tape, even), discs, and other things i have here. and maybe once or twice a month, i’ll look for something different or ‘new to me’ on a free service. i get enough news and current events from public radio when i’m in the car or when the radio is on at the office.
doesn’t need to be, of course. they just want to cut social security because ‘the poors’ rely on it more.
debt reduction efforts
deep-six every loophole used mostly or only by the wealthy to avoid paying their share of taxes.
increase funding for irs, streamline enforcement actions, give them the resources needed to go after the big fish.
eliminate the cap on social security contributions, lower the ceiling on benefits for the very wealthy retirees, while raising the minimum benefit.
single payer tax funded health care, paid by higher taxes on the wealthy.
raise the capital gains rates. raise the estate tax, lower the assets value needed to trigger it.
raise the marginal rates for high income earners (by a lot. i want reagan screaming from beyond)
budget problem fixed. well over $2 trillion a year pumped into the economy by people who are now no longer padding insurance companies’ bottom lines with it. but we aren’t done yet…
$12/hr min wage (wait wut!!! wait for it…)
$24,000 universal tax credit for everyone. the higher taxes up^there on high income earners would negate this for them, and they fund it for the others that do receive it.
this is a compromise between the $15 (or higher) crowd and small businesses. a little lower fed min wage than what’s being pushed, but then essentially doubled based on full time work via the tax credit all receive.
donvict isn’t even in office yet. let this congress do whatever the fuck it wants to, asshole.
that is true, it was originally ‘sundisk’. the ‘new’ name (from 1995), though, is a rather clever double play on words.
sandisk -> sans disk (no disk)
sandisk -> sand disk (made from sand)
