TSMC triples spending on Arizona advanced chip site with extra 3nm fab

PenGun

I see that almost no one has noticed, well I guess its a secret. ;) The DPP the party that was in power and cooperating with Biden, has been handily defeated by the Kuomintang party. It ran on a platform that supports rapprochement with mainland China.

So everything has changed, but not where its a secret, I guess. ;)

Rejoice! System Administrator Appreciation Day (SAAD) is nigh

PenGun

How quickly we forget. Never forget "down, not across". ;)

Monitoring is simple enough – green means everything's fine. But getting to that point can be a whole other ball game

PenGun

LOL. I used to build these when I was bored. They are not rocket science.

Vissles V84: Mechanical keyboard hits all the right buttons for Mac power users

PenGun

Am I the only one who cracked up at 'Mac Power User'? Times sure have changed. ;)

If the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition doesn't make you a fan, we don't know what will

PenGun

Why I Am Not A Fan

I own a Huawei P20 pro, Nuff said. ;)

Hackers able to turbo-charge DJI drones way beyond what's legal

PenGun

Oh my lord. Just build one. I have a 6" Alien that is a beast and does just what I tell it. So much stronger than any photo drone that it's ridiculous. Learning to fly them is the hard part but I'm 70 and mine flies pretty good. ;)

tl:dr You can rip out the flight controller and put in your own. Problem solved!

Linus Torvalds may have damned systemd with faint praise

PenGun

You silly person. He has always been our god, there was actually a meme at one time.

You are probably a systemd user. Poor fools trapped in their inability to use an actual Lunix OS, and stuck with some kind of butu hack.

Feelin' safe and snug on Linux while the Windows world burns? Stop that

PenGun

I've been fucking root for 20 years now. Your salvation is at hand. Slackware64 14.2 is available for one and all.

Create a user called '0day', get bonus root privs – thanks, Systemd!

PenGun

You poor fools. You run this crap on purpose?

"We had to, the Ubuntu/whatever installer is so easy"

Salvation is at hand. Slackware64 14.2 is all you really ned. ;)

Don't panic, but Linux's Systemd can be pwned via an evil DNS query

PenGun

Ah ha. I knew you poor fools would regret trading your heritage for convenience.

SysV is heresy. how much more evil is systemd?

BSD Init is the one true way. This can be found in Slackware64 14.2, go get it, and leave the cesspool behind.

Distro watch for Ubuntu lovers: What's ahead in Linux land

PenGun

Oh you poor fools. Lost in the wilderness of windose and systemd.

There is salvation at hand. Slackware64 14.2 is everything you need in an OS, with possible exception of games.

It's partly the curse you invoke when using unclean software that ails you. Not many know that both Sys V and systend are the artifacts of a power that do not wish you well. Of course windose does not even try to hide this fact.

BSD Init is the one true way.

I could go on, but I sense you would rather I did not. ;)

Greybeards beware: Hair dye for blokes outfit Just For Men served trojan

PenGun

Grey

The reason we are greybeards is because we don't use that crap. Geeez, what stupid article.

Systemd adds filesystem mount tool

PenGun

Systemd is evil. BSD init is the one true way and Slackware 14.2 is out. Rejoice!

Render crashing PCs back to their component silicon: They deserve it

PenGun

Windose

Obviously a big problem for the poor user. Most of you probably deserve the pain, but really they are your friends. Putting windows on a computer is about the same as turning your dear friend into a sex doll.

No wonder they hate you.
