At least in my state, it explicitly means proof of citizenship. Permanent residents have a slightly different ID. The documents required to get one are what you would use to prove citizenship. Passport, birth certificate, etc. and it’s all verified by relevant agencies. That’s kind of the whole point.

Frankly even if they’re “just” lawfully present and that’s not differentiated on the ID, that should be enough reason for DHS to not detain them if any remotely reasonable policy were being followed instead of rounding up people based on skin color.

* proof of citizenship or lawful presence. Which is supposed to be indicated on the card. Which is supposed to be validated by DHS.

One of the ways REAL ID doesn’t matter for voting is that putting a ballot in a box is only the very first step in counting a vote, and there are multiple checks whether it’s valid and from person that is allowed to vote afterwards. After several centuries of practice paper voting is pretty thoroughly stress tested. Even if most people have no idea how.

I can’t imagine it’s a single physical server anymore but a server instance across many blades / VMs / whatever. But absolutely there are many games where “600+” on a server would be considered a sign of a dying population.

Are 600 player servers impressive? I’m sure they have plenty of hardware and engineering involved but that doesn’t sound exceptional as much as expected for the scope they’re aiming for.

WoW is a simpler game, in that it’s effectively 2 dimensions and doesn’t involve physics, but that would be a fairly low server population, especially back in it’s heyday. Ditto for many other big MMOs.

EvE has 600+ player battles on a fairly regular basis, much less on a server instance in general.

No those are links between two separate systems. I just want to use my phone screen and the car’s speakers / power.

why we started adding computer operating systems to our vehicles to begin with.

Because fuel injection operates better than even the most high tech carburetors across a wider range of environments. And if you have more sensors and active feedback you can better control everything from emissions to warm up time. Everything trickles down from racing / luxury vehicles. Once you have processors involved, might as well do fancy things with them inside the cabin too.

A lot of the dash / center console nonsense is consumer cost cutting, but frankly it should’ve been separate from the start. Any budget phone is a better GPS / media platform than a half-baked system by a vehicle manufacturer. At this point it should just be a USB-C or bluetooth connection so the device without the bargain basement processor can do the heavy lifting for a user interface.

They break this down on their page, but while that’s certainly true-ish for the last year or two the bulk of the collection is from before that.

On their torrent page it’s explained more but it’s broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you’re willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded “blob”.

I don’t really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.

I think it gets some flak but I’ve been super happy with Unraid.

Migrated hardware by moving the usb drive over to the new system and it didn’t blink that everything but the HDDs was different. Just booted up and started the array and dockers. The JBOD functionality is great. Drive loss is just an excuse to add a bigger drive.

There’s weirdness sometimes if devices don’t respect your network’s dns settings and just use their own. You can override that by forcing a dns redirect if your router supports that but not all consumer ones do unless you put openwrt or something on them.

Yes and no. The one the Nazis used was / is also a symbol used in Asia. (And really, everywhere. It’s a fairly basic pattern.) The Nazis used it because of their obsession with Aryans. Sometimes it’s at an angle, sometimes it’s not.

Generally in the west, unless it’s on a statue of budda, any swastika-ish symbol since the ~1930s is going to be a reference to Nazis though.

Modern specs are complicated. I vaguely remember something about a cryptographic key the driver needs to be signed with to successfully complete the handshake to enable all display options between the computer and display.

Not entirely unwarranted either, an unexpected amount of voltage on an unexpected pin because the driver / hardware is misconfigured damaging your TV would suck. (Still sounds like the Forum is being a dick about it though.)

There’s a whole cycle of perverse incentives with University Press.

The underlying research is necessary and valuable but the marketing arm of universities blow everything out of proportion.

I’m sure there are reasons but it’s always seemed like a lost opportunity that the Steam app doesn’t work as an app store for mobile games on phones.

I’d settle for something like the Red Magic 11 with better cameras from them. Saving a couple millimeters instead of having a bigger battery and flat back is silly.

Back-feeding the grid during an outage is the main concern. One panel isn’t going to hurt a line worker. A neighborhood of them might.

“Normal” installations have a transfer switch of some kind between the house and the grid to prevent this. Which means a permit and electrician.

Don’t know what’s different about these panels / installations that makes them safe without that.

I assume they’re refering to The Watch, but that’s less an adaptation of Pratchett and more an adaptation of that show runner’s pet project with the names of characters from Discworld overlaid to get funding.

That might stop them if they cared enough to read.

That’s true, but I also think there is a stark difference between a low quality ‘off the record’ recording and standing at the official podium taking questions from vetted journalists to a live feed on every news network.

Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention has known he is, at best, an odious man-child for years. But a lot of people actively try to avoid paying attention because they’ve been trained that it’s “just politics” instead of the infrastructure that impacts every aspect of their lives.
