Also we only see the past since our vision has a bit of “latency”.

So I guess we never see reality but just a delayed representation of our environment as interpreted by our brain.

Someone really liked Animal Well!

It’s not an LLM, just a subtitles generator for video.

I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?

This is not at all my experience with custom mail domains.

And I say that after spending a lot of time setting SPF, DKIM and DMARC filtering.

I guess you got lucky.

Does it?

Do you think spammer will just stop at the first address and then call it a day?

In my experience there is no such thing as a “catch all” domain address. The second your domain leaks then many spammer will just go into a frenzy and try hundreds or thousands of mail aliases.

Especially since they can’t really spam Gmail as easily (since early 2024) they will even more aggressively spam any other domain.

Unless you provide a source I will consider your comment as FUD.

For some reason I can’t open any of the pictures you uploaded.

Kind of doubtful there is “redundancy” and you can afford to just straight up lose a component without it having a functional impact.

I assume manufacturers would prefer to get a better component that is guaranteed to last as long as the warranty rather than put many components in parallel and just hope they are lucky not to get many failing components at the same time that are supposed to be redundant.

I asked ChatGPT about this as I was curious about the design of modern motherboard and redundancy.

Take that with a grain of salt obviously :

In some cases, motherboard manufacturers may design circuits with redundant or parallel components, but this is not the norm for most consumer-grade motherboards. Instead, multiple components, such as MOSFETs, are often used in parallel to handle higher current loads or improve power delivery efficiency, rather than as a backup in case of failure.

Key Points to Consider:

1. Parallel MOSFETs in VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules):

Modern motherboards often use multiple MOSFETs in parallel within the VRM section to distribute the load. This improves thermal performance and ensures stable power delivery to the CPU, GPU, or RAM.

If one MOSFET is removed or fails, the others may compensate temporarily, but this could lead to overheating or instability, especially under high load.

2. Redundancy for Reliability:

True redundancy, where one component is a backup for another, is uncommon in consumer motherboards due to cost constraints. It is more likely to be found in high-end server motherboards or mission-critical systems.

3. The System Boots, But Risks Remain:

The system may still boot because the remaining MOSFETs are compensating for the missing one. However, this can stress the remaining components, potentially leading to overheating, instability, or premature failure.

4. Importance of the Detached MOSFET’s Location:

If the detached MOSFET was part of the VRM or another critical circuit, its absence could reduce power delivery efficiency and system stability. If it was part of a less critical section, the impact might be minimal.

5. Repair is Recommended:

Even if the system appears to work, running it with a missing MOSFET is risky. The component should be re-soldered or the motherboard replaced to ensure long-term reliability.

Advice for the Person:

If they suspect a detached MOSFET:

Identify its exact role on the motherboard (consult the schematic or motherboard layout if available).

Avoid stressing the system until the issue is resolved.

Seek professional repair to reattach the component if they lack the tools or expertise to do so.

While the system might seem fine for now, ignoring the issue could lead to further damage or failure.

I’m a bit skeptical on the Email alias feature but this is a really cool project.

I just don’t know how practical it is to use custom domains to receive those confirmation emails.

Wouldn’t you receive a ton of spam once your email domain leaks (which will eventually happen)?

Email is also useful for password reset.

No.

Couldn’t even find a rumor of it. It wouldn’t make sense for steam to stop supporting such a large part of their userbase.

Hey you can believe what you want. They may be in the wrong but I would say it’s statistically way more likely OP just got what he deserves.

Just like any criminal would systematically say they are innocent even after an appeal.

Maybe OP could show us screenshots of that appeal? Just curious.

Exactly.

He wasn’t banned for no reason. Every banned user says that and then a mod will show a ton of very offensive behaviour.

Thanks for the heads up.

I really don’t like that new Frame interpolation tech and think it’s almost only useful to marketers but not for actual gaming.

At least I wouldn’t touch it with any competitive game.

Hopefully we will get third party benchmarks soon without the bullshit perfs from Nvidia.

It’s funny because the tweet in question denouncing that would be negative on 4 counts :D

Don’t lie to people it’s impossible to sugarcoat it, especially midair.

I was wondering why your roads would be that bad and I learn a few things:

You have a telehiv problem : the climate destroys your road rather quickly.

IMO he is spoofing numbers so he can set anything as a call ID anyway.

I was called by spoofers for a few weeks (same exact time every day but with a different number). My (European) provider said they can’t do anything about it.

Truthfully nobody is safe on our current phone system.

Even though this is not probably what is happening to OP and I don’t want to overly worry them but checkout this video by Veritasium :

Maybe OP should change completely of phone number.

Yes, i already installed a PoP OS in dual boot and tried things out.

I will test games on it in the next months to prepare for Windows deletion. I just hope a game I really like won’t go out not working decently on Linux or I’m afraid I will lose my momentum/motivation.

At the very least I intend to only boot windows for those game that really don’t work on Linux.

My hope is that there will be an uptick at the end of support for Windows 10.

I know I will really try to completely ditch windows at this time.
