World News@lemmy.ml•Certificate to own car in Singapore rockets to $106,000
5·2 years agoYeah Singapore has good public transit options but it doesn’t handle everything.
Many people own cars though and the certificate is transferable and is part of the car loan, so it mostly becomes a monthly cost.
If you’re trying to show off in Singapore you have multiple cars in your own garage, including an old super car and an suv you use to drive to your boat club where you can take your boat out for the day.

Games@sh.itjust.works•[Rumor] Mass Effect 4 will ditch an open world and return to its "classic format", insider teases
104·2 years agoAs long as I can still make my character look like a 65 year old gender fluid meth addict I’ll play it.
If I wanted to do this today I would use iTunes and an old iPhone as the mp3 player. I would use an old laptop to rip, or iTunes to purchase.

Technology@lemmy.world•Disabling Intel’s backdoors on modern laptops
10·2 years agoIt’s used for out of band management. With the correct hardware items (nic and gpu) it’s called vPro. With the proper certificate and supporting infrastructure it can auto-enroll into a management service such as SCCM. It allows companies to remotely view logs, bios settings and other items. With vPro it can include a complete remote KVM solution.
You can disable it from most UEFI settings interfaces without worry of causing other issues.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Internet providers that won FCC grants try to escape broadband commitments
2·2 years agoGoogle accomplished their goal of increasing internet usage. Where ever they threatened to go the local isp suddenly got their act together.
I’m suggesting local government 1)provide a baseline service and 2) treat last-mile delivery like a utility. In the pockets of the US where local government or utility provider is also an ISP, I have yet to hear of people being upset with it. It’s usually something crazy like $15/mo for 500/50 speeds that comes out of your water/trash/electric bill.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Internet providers that won FCC grants try to escape broadband commitments
21·2 years agoI’m not saying what they are doing/did is best. I think it’s been mishandled for decades. I’m just saying this is how the government “thinks” and why cost overruns and corruption is often lower on the priority list.
I’d rather the service providers be threatened with local government ownership if they mishandle the deal.
In fact I think last-mile delivery should be provided by the local government and be subsidized by taxes to some extent. Residents should have the option to use public funded internet with baseline bandwidth targets, have the ability to choose a different ISP that’s managed at a local colo going over the public wires, or choose a last mile isp using their own private wired or wireless infrastructure.

135·2 years agoAt the end of the day the gov shouldnt care. They are spending the same amount of money.
If the government wants to make it fair though, they can simply block the “scammers” from future projects.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Internet providers that won FCC grants try to escape broadband commitments
234·2 years agoYes, but think like the government: should we fine the isp, or do what it takes to get broadband to those underserved areas? Fines and other similar approaches just put those ISPs closer to going out of business and that makes it worse for the people targeted by the project.
there is a lot more to modern firewall app detection than ports. My Palo Alto has a specific category to detect and block dns over https.
It’s trivial for me to detect and block dns over https with modern firewalls.
I’m talking out of my ass, but software devs rarely think about scalability, backup, and high availability.

6·2 years agoIt depends, but the weakest link will likely be whatever is performing NAT.
An hvac company that is able to adopt AI for 1st call processing and scheduling will be able to eliminate a number of jobs and remain open 24x7. They will undercut their local competitors, and the hvac techs will find themselves out of a job or working for their competitor soon.
Small companies won’t be able to compete.
I’m all for this but we need to offset these immense productivity gains with economic safety nets. I don’t know how the next 100 year will look if we don’t adopt UBI, universal healthcare, and some amount of subsidized housing.
