Tons of people engage with email regularily, including through standalone MTAs.*

But my point is that email was big before the web even grew to its current significance. So I think common people have at least that one point of contact with the internet that is quite distinct from the web in their memory.

But maybe it’s really a generational question. I have to concede that a lot of people now use web interfaces for their email client, especially outside of corporate managed devices. Late milennials and Gen Z will have grown up with the web being more significant than email.

* Don’t forget about the MTAs on smartphone OSes, those aren’t web based.

PS: Funny story last week I was at CERN at the CIXP, the CERN Internet Exchange Point, to upgrade a connection to 400Gb/s, and in the lobby of the building they hung up the cover pages of Tim Berners-Lee’s original Hypertext and HTTP papers. And further in the have his original NeXTStation displayed

It’s like how the brownshirt “Saalschutz” stopped just protecting NSDAP assemblies and started fighting KPD members on the streets, before being renamed “Sturmabteilung”, helping with the putsch and so on

Gopher is having a small resurgence, and Gemini exists.

You forgot email. That seems like a pretty important use of the Internet that isn’t the web.

in the end got pardoned and their criminal record expunged

Fuck I missed that update. I was so happy they got punished. :-(

A movie is not software. It can’t control the device you own.

Ha you have no idea. They use new BluRay releases to distribute key revocation databases that block your BluRay drive from decrypting disks with older host keys.

Wow I didn’t know he had the capacity to ever be correct in anything!

Grid scale storage doesn’t strike me as an area of application where high energy density is important, so wouldn’t batteries with less conversion loss do an overall better job? I think grid scale Lithium-ion battery stores have become somewhat common.

I’d see gasoline from CO2 capture of interest more for airplanes, drones, ships, maybe even certain modes of long haul terrestrial transport where weight and volume is important.

The article speaks of a “Windows 365 suite of productivity apps” but that doesn’t exist.

There is the “Microsoft 365” suite of office apps, and there is the “Windows 365” offer of a Virtual Machine as SaaS.

It seems the thing that went down was the former and the ill timed announcement concerned the latter.

Still a good idea for specific cases though. An example from current news close to me: We have line ships on lake Zürich that can’t be electrified because either they are too old to sustain a major internal rework or, for some, they can’t carry the battery weight.

For a case like that I’d prefer if they put some CO2 capture stations up to keep running the ships rather than scrapping them prematurely.

… if the capture stations work, that is. Can’t trust the word of a startup too much.

You gotta get on Alan Wake 2.

Bit cruel after they just said they can’t run it 😄

A scheduled absence shouldn’t be a problem.

Here it’s very clearly visible that grey-jacket, red/grey-cap guy has the victim’s gun secured already. At 0:39.

That must also be why he leaves the altercation, to get the gun away. Theoretically a good plan.

Don’t make the mistake of looking at one region and generalising to a universal. Where are you looking at?

Here in Switzerland practically everything <1kV is buried.
For high voltage lines they have only built one section to experiment so far. It’s pretty expensive, heats the ground a bit and blocks water with all the concrete, so it’s not so clear if it’s a good choice for agriculture happening above.

I’ve wondered a lot why they don’t bury more infrastructure in hurricane regions in the US for example.

I’m just wondering how many devices still use dedicated TPMs, instead of the ones integrated in the SoC by AMD and Intel. Sniffing a bus inside the SoC must be significantly harder or impossible.

Since you’re not admitting to your lie, like I asked earlier, I don’t see why I should indulge your continued wiggling either.

Haha you’re incredible, just try all the methods maybe something will stick. I cited the lie very clearly just a few comments ago. The issue is you started moving the goalposts around, when you found out you have a duty to identify yourself but not to have identification papers. You must have confused yourself in the process. Here, to remind you of your lie I’ll happily cite it again:

in my country every citizen is required by law to have paper that allow identification

Just saying “thank you” like you had a good gotcha moment, doesn’t change the situation here. You got caught in a lie and you have no point.

As you cited, your identity will be established at the station. Just admit to your lie instead of trying weird distraction tactics.

Try to wiggle your way out of it all you want. Potentially having to undergo a more difficult procedure does not equal a legal duty to have identification. Your claim

in my country every citizen is required by law to have paper that allow identification

Is simply false. It’s a lie to support your position.

The weirdest part is that Minneapolis (44.9778° N, 93.2650° W) is further south than Milano (45.4685° N, 9.1824° E)
