Top Story

Australia is joining a wave of fascist dictatorships around the globe in regulating how kids spend their time online. (The Verge) (archive site)

I may have changed a word or two there.
On December 10th, most major social media platforms will boot children in the country under 16 from their services. Under the law, social platforms will also need to implement a "reasonable" age verification method there - while critics argue kids will get around it anyway.
The critics are, of course, correct. The age restrictions are about as robust as The Verge's paywall.

And VPN providers are having a field day.

Maybe they put the idiots in Canberra up to it.

Tech News

RAM is ruining everything. (The Verge) (archive site)

Useful tidbit: SK Hynix - one of the big three memory makers - is investing $500 billion dollars in new factories, with the first set to go into operation in 2027.

Half a trillion dollars. That's a lot of money. Whether it will be enough is an open question, but I'm not sure we can criticise them for not expanding faster.
Microsoft's Patch Tuesday is here for December and fuck me that's a lot of security holes. (Bleeping Computer)

Ugh.
AMD has announced its new Epyc 2005 processor range for embedded servers. (Serve the Home)

They're Ryzen 9000 desktop chips, just packaged differently and with lower power budgets.
Boom Supersonic - which demonstrated a supersonic jet back in January - has found funding and customers, but not for its supersonic jet. (Tech Crunch)

It's selling a derivative of its jet turbine engine for power generation for datacenters.
The war on disinformation is a losing battle. (The Verge)

Which is good, because The Verge is squarely on the side of disinformation. They only get through two paragraphs here before they start actively lying.

"Why Nobody Lives On This HUGE Stretch Of Australian Coast"

https://youtu.be/f6gVTfmNKGc
(Geography by Geoff)

It's all about the Great Australian Bight and the Nullarbor Plain, and why nobody lives on this thousand km section of Oz's southern coast.

It's quite interesting if you're into geography or want to learn more about Australia.

I'd seen this part of the continent on a few episodes of Outback Truckers years ago when a few unfortunate drivers had to haul loads from Perth to Adelaide. Always wondered what the deal was with this oddity, and now I know.

It's one desolate place, that's for sure.

I've kinda wanted to visit the land down under, but the form of government the Aussies wound up with makes me believe that I'd end up in jail versus being deported if I said the wrong thing whilst visiting.

I recognize that my belief of what might happen may very well be disconnected from would happen. And, hey, I subscribe to the DrainAddict YouTube channel (he's an Australian plumber and I've learned more about Australian sewer systems than any sane non-Australian human would want to know); individual Aussies seem great.

31 Evening and morning to all the late toilers and early risers on this Woden's Day!

Strange dream last night, that I was seduced by a older, but attractive enough, redhead with a rather sharp foxy face -- at *a pipe shop* of all places. She had no objection to the fact other men were there, and in fact wanted to, uh, get busy right there in public. I was not especially attracted to her -- but it was as if I were hypnotized, like a rabbit mesmerized by a snake.

Now that I think about it, I realize I did not take any melatonin last night. So I can still have vivid and somewhat disturbing dreams even without it!

I had my procedure yesterday morning. Came home groggy and tired. Started to feel uncomfortable after a few hours so started taking the tramadol that was prescribed. It's been so long that I forget opiates make me sleepless and slightly itchy. So, I feel like I've been up all night. I'm sure I've dozed off here and there but I don't feel like it. And I feel the urge to urinate all the time because of the stent.

Many diplomats are unhappy with changes Mr. Rubio has made to the department’s structure and leadership, and have reported badly damaged morale within their ranks.

But the Biden administration’s move to Calibri prompted some grumbling from some traditionalists who preferred Times New Roman. Mr. Blinken also changed the standard font size, from 14-point to 15-point, requiring extra keystrokes that some diplomats found annoying.

Hullo, lin-duh,

I too had tramadol prescribed after my deal this last July. At first I thought it wasn't doing much for my pain, and asked for something stronger. My surgeon obliged . . . but it had acetaminophen, Tylenol, in it, which sends me to the bathroom every two hours. So I went back to the tramadol and found it worked well enough. At least it let me sleep. Before long I could do without it and took some ibuprofen as needed. Your discomfort will pass.

If it doesn't, though, tell the doctor right away!

56 @SpeakingOf (Yesterday's tech thread, #61):

Glad you've given Babylon 5 a shot. As you've been advised, the first season's a little rough but it does have its good moments. Also, the music for the first season is a little repetitive because Christopher Franke (the composer) hadn't been given time to expand, that changes with season 2 onward, and there's some amazing music.

After you've watched each episode, I encourage you to read its entry at:
http://midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html

And yes, that's http NOT https. This is an OLD site.

A majority of the episodes are part of the 5 year story arc, though there are a few stand-alone episodes that don't contribute to the arc. Those will stand out. A couple of them are stinkers. No series is perfect.

Bruce Boxleitner (plays Captain Sheridan) takes over the role of station commander in Season 2. The change was jarring originally, but he cements himself as a central player in the story (and does it very well).

57 As I have come to understand 20th century American music, I think it is impossible to overstate the influence Chuck Berry had on this music in the second half of the century. For me, there is no Rock and Roll without Chuck Berry.

Part of the magic of those 1950s recordings is, of course, Chuck Berry's compositions. The other part of the magic is the core musicians that played on those 1950s recordings; all of them went on to to be recognized as legends over their careers. If you have the time, it's worth looking up the biographies of these guys.

The core members consisted of:
Chuck Berry - composer, vocals, guitar
Johnnie Johnson / Lafayette Leake - piano
Willie Dixon - upright bass
Fred Below - drums

The precise looseness of the band against Chuck Berry's driving preciseness on guitar creates a sublime tension that gets translated into raw musical energy. It all adds up to some of the greatest recordings of all time.

79 It's amazing how much attitudes can make in shopping experience . I went to my regular store yesterday and the front end folks who help out people when the self check out machines go wonky, were not in a good mood . Several employees complain about t other customers the entire time. If I had been doing that for 45 years I might be complaining too. To be fair there are some nice people who say "Have a good day" and that sort of thing. Then there is a stock shelves who when asked if they have Pepsodent toothpaste snarls " We don't carry that anymore."

This is in contrast to the store (another chain) in the next town where some cashier is wearing a grinch hat but is still smiling along with an
tall older black guy who says "How are you today?" And when I say "Blessed " he responds "Well you' have another day on earth. Good for you" He was quite patience with my problems .
I wished I lived closer so that I could go there more frequently.

81 From yesterday's Tech thread.

Any problems with the x86 to ARM translation layer for applications? - Posted by: SpeakingOf

For me, zero. One old utilities I use requires .net framework 2.0; both installed perfectly in our work and fine. There are a few other x86 applications I use and all of them installed and work just fine.

Probably the biggest test was the x86 version of Office 365 I use because it includes the now known as "Classic" Outlook instead of The dumbed down new Outlook which replaces it. The suite installed perfectly and I can't tell the difference between how it performs on my x86 boxes or the Qualcomm box.

My understanding of Prism, the x86 translation layer, is that it is greatly improved from where it was a couple years ago and that a significant number of games, an initial major problem area, are now running ok. At what performance level is another question that I can't answer.

Another challenge in answering this question is most of the applications I use are now natively compiled for the ARM platform. My dependence on Prism is remarkably limited. Real progress is being made here.

83 Microsoft's Patch Tuesday is here for December and fuck me that's a lot of security holes.

So, are these mainly Win 11 issues, or are they folding in any Win 10 stuff?

Just a reminder, neck tats are a sign of antisocial behavior.

With "makes poor life choices" not even trying to lurk in that person's background.

"'WTF? Wot put you off my application for this job, eh?"

87 I’ve listened to some of the AI music creations, you know the “Led zeppelin if they were 50’s crooners” kind of thing, and the arrangements and melodies are very interesting.

But. There’s something always a little weird about digital creations, there’s no there there, a certain anonymous wall of digital sound even when they clearly really try to recreate the “air” and excitement around a genuine band recording, It tastes good at first for a second or two, but it’s calorie free.

I think Johnny B Goode is the quintessential 50's rock'n roll song.

Ch. Soyara's Johnny B. Goode. Gentleman John, like The Big Dummy a stupid but sweet and well-mannered boy.

No walk today.

91 Pretty sure the "drops his pants" is an indication that one of us needs to leave, tats or no.

92 Tech question.

Ran into a tp-link Deco-X60, three pack for $139.00, with no sales tax at the Navy Exchange.

I know it's not the latest golly gee-whizz fastest product, but neither is out 3,000 SF house.

Using the home ethernet for backhaul, will this meet general needs?
