But more importantly, e-bikes are supposed to have a speed limiter set to 25km/h anyway.

And then a DBA comes in

I’m convinced that’s a mythical being. In my 20+ years of experience I’ve never encountered one.

Hmm, I’m fewer sure of that.

It’s the sum total. SSD’s would have become the success they are today if it were localized.

Can confirm, have a cat and don’t have that issue. Because I lock the screen when leaving the machine unattended.

Even LibreOffice can only recover what has been saved. And if autosave is off, there might be less to recover than desirable. Again, that’s a UXD problem.

That’s why I lock my machine before walking away. That’s + L for those who don’t know.

Btw automatically saving is a generally undesirable feature as it could reduce the lifetime of ssds, slowdown the system if the file Is big or stored on slow media like network.

I don’t know what kind of files you write regularly, but even the smallest and cheapest PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive can store data at 600 megabytes per second or more. That’s plenty fast enough for my office documents at least. And you can rewrite the entire contents of the drive a hundred times or more before it fails. So I wouldn’t lose any sleep over having autosave on.

The first effects could be witnessed thirty years ago. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has moved the goal posts and introduced the “climate change is of all times, it’s not caused by us” talking point, as demonstrated by Victor. But Victor is behind the times, the new one is “yes, we caused it but it’s not a big deal”.

I disagree that it is bad design. It’s cheap and I also find it ugly, but it does get the job done just fine.

If you need any proof that pyramid schemes will never go away, just look at the number of downvotes.

I don’t want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.

The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.

Thanks for the clarification.

The last sentence of the article however, shows why that’s not much of a consolation:

In other words, it is activist hedge funds and modern executive compensation practices — not corporate law — that drive so many of today’s public companies to myopically focus on short-term earnings; cut back on investment and innovation; mistreat their employees, customers and communities; and indulge in reckless, irresponsible and environmentally destructive behaviors.
