This has been the case since SATA revision 3.3, released Feb 2016. So while I may have exaggerated with “ancient”, a brand new PSU certainly shouldn’t still be feeding 3.3v to that pin.

Likely changing the “active” flag or boot stuff, but as the other commenter says, if you aren’t 100% confident, disconnect the scsi

I have done this with dozens of drives and have never had to do any pin blocking. You only need to do that if you’re using an absolutely ancient sata power cable that doesn’t know about the spinup pin change

VP9 has pretty wide support, probably due to the Google (and YouTube) backing. I sincerely doubt devices will phase out any codecs, especially not VP9.

AMD video cards have supported hardware decoding of VP9 since vcn1.0 - well before they had support for decoding AV1

AV1 and VP9 are likely going to be your highest efficiency “free” codecs. AV1 is the way to go if you mean free as in free open source. It’s not very likely to be implemented in many TVs or set-top-boxes, but VLC/ffmpeg will be able to decode any of these. Webm uses vp8 or VP9 which are “free”(made by Google) but it’s just more specific settings for sharing online/viewing in browser.

H264/H265 has license fees for non-free software and hardware, but they will be your most widely supported option. H265 is approximately twice as efficient as h264 (meaning you can get the same quality of encode from half the file size).

Regardless of preset I think you can get handbrake to encode something reasonable from any of these codecs. Especially with DVD video you’ll be able to crank through videos with modern high efficiency codecs

It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.

Just more nonsense showing how broken modern copyright is. It’s too hard to write weasely legalese to just say you have the right to reproduce content submitted to your website, you have to own it entirely. And if you own it, why not sell it?

Google makes some really fuckin bullshit decisions. Jpeg XL being removed from chrome, same with DHCPv6 missing in android. I hate google

Op said they tried without the firewall connected and had the same results

Thinking eve is just short for evening is so wild to me. Is “Doll” short for dollar? Is “her” short for Hershey’s kisses? Come tf on

Yeah I just didn’t have it in me and meant to go back for it lol.

Sure but what’s the actual action there? Implementation of a wealth tax? What property counts for that? Is there some other technique he/you are talking about? Taking a loan will now count as income?

That’s exactly my point. There are people working hard to make these things happen and generally these are very well supported by the public, but without the plan behind them, theres no substance here.

The reason these don’t get passed is because of the particulars of implementation. you can’t write a bill with the only text being “universal healthcare” without a lot more to it. Once there’s a lot more to it, then it gets picked apart and rejected.

So instead of banning tipping you mean removing minimum wage exceptions for tipping.

Fwiw a lot of restaurants worldwide are starting to include an obnoxious 12+% “service charge” that can be “removed” if you have a complaint. Basically, enforced tipping that wouldn’t be changed by your “ban tipping” plan.

I definitely agree hard with more emphasis on removal of after-the-listed-price fees

Exactly my thought. This may as well be a list that has one bullet point “* fix America” without a lot more detail on most of these

Do you think wyoming deserves to be a state? Every state gets the same representation in the Senate and I think that’s fair. I don’t think it’s fair that the proportional side of the legislature isn’t proportional anymore, though, and fixing that goes a very long way.

• ranked choice voting - ok I think we can agree here
• Mandatory voting - how? Currently voting is handled state by state, you want to make the federal government take that over? What would the punishment be for not voting? Frankly I disagree with this
• Universal vote by mail - even more how? Again, federal takeover of voting process? How do you ensure no votes are lost especially when someone will be punished for not voting?
• Voting day national holiday - definitely agree.
• Legalize marijuana - this takes a lot more than just saying “marijuana is legal now.” Are previous marijuana related convictions going to be overturned, if so how? Are marijuana sales going to be regulated? If so how?
• Legalize prostitution - similar questions as with marijuana
• Revert citizens United - certainly agree here but that’s a big fuckin how? It was explicitly the supreme court overruling a law passed by Congress. Amend the Constitution to say something explicit?
• Abolish corporate home ownership - very strange stuff here because you start touching on the above, too. Maybe more you’re looking to cancel corporate personhood but that comes with a huge amount of problems too
• Abolish electoral college - sure why not if you’ve solved the voting issues above
• Abolish gerrymandering - this is what made me make this response in the first place. You can’t just say “abolish gerrymandering” without some plan for it. That’s like saying “abolish borders” like it’s meaningful. How? Who decides what districts look like? Will there still be districts? If not how will representation be determined?
• Abolish filibuster - I think the filibuster is fine. If everything else on this list goes through, hopefully we have meaningful ways of ousting useless obstructionist politicians instead
• Merge Senate into house - why? What does this solve?
• Remove house rep cap - FUCKING agreed. The cap is unconstitutional and absurd
• Universal healthcare - lots of hows here too but Obamacare was a good start and I’m down with single payer
• Universal basic income - how much? Does it count toward the 50k below?
• Income up to $50k untaxed - fine. I also think any monetary amount in the legislature should be increased by the CPI automatically every year. Fines, limits, payouts, etc.
• Ban tax prep - hmm ok
• IRS files taxes for citizens - how does this work? Is tax code flattened to make it so citizens have no choices to make? Do things like tax credits for buying solar panels go away?
• Vat for luxury items - who decides what’s luxury?
• Supreme Court 15 year limit - disagree, the whole point of lifetime terms is to prevent getting what’s yours and getting out.
• Increase highest bracket tax - sure why not
• Collateral for loan is realized gain - expand?
• Abolish PACs and lobbying
• Politicians banned from stocks - so they can’t own shares of any companies? Or they just can’t trade while in office? Does this go for any elected official? More than just elected officials?
• Municipalize Internet - at a minimum declare it a utility. What’s the rest of the plan?
• Abortion constitutional right - I’d argue it already is one, though the supreme Court evidently isn’t in agreement. An explicit “bodily autonomy” amendment would be nice. Add a right to privacy to that too, expanding on the 4th.
• Ban tipping - idk if I agree with trying to codify what should be a cultural change, but I’m generally on board with the Idea. There’s a million loopholes to close in any language to this effect
• free financial education - just like… Government funded seminars? Mandated high school courses? What do you take out to fit this in?

I’m kind of surprised RED is still small enough and Nikon is still big enough for this to happen. In my mind I expected them to have a thousand+employees

In a way I agree, there has to be a major deterrent for this level of negligence. That said, “ruin their life” isn’t IMHO the right way to go. I’d be happier if they kept living a productive life, but they’d better be supporting the people who depend on me.

You want them to learn their lesson but how do you do that without ruining lives? How do you do it before they kill two people? I think that level of change has to be governmental and even cultural. Reducing dependence on cars, increasing how seriously driving is taken, etc

Suing Tesla seems a little dumb to me. Sue the DMV that’s giving people like this licenses
