Toaster with DRM that only allows approved bread and stops working after 2000 cycles.

Because of the DMCA and similar laws worldwide, circumventing the DRM is illegal.

Microsoft apparently still doesn't quite understand the concept of case-sensitivity in filenames & URLs and just changed github.com/Microsoft to github.com/microsoft, in turn breaking a ton of canonical URLs and references.

It's incredible how shortsighted and oblivious a company of that size can be, really 🙄

Got the weirdest error message from my #Roomba when out. "Stuck on a cliff". Wtf? Where the hell did you wander off to fella??

Sundar Pichai trying to paint himself as the champion of the poor man’s privacy isn’t even the main problem here: a Big Tobacco CEO would love to be seen as the champion of your health and ditto a Big Oil CEO as defender of the environment.

A. Privacy is not a good, it is a human right

B. Google is a surveillance capitalist; its business model is diametrically opposed to respecting privacy

C. Google protects *their* information, not yours, because that’s what your information becomes once they have it: their asset

Protip: systemctl disable: disable from launching at boot time. If you want to make sure a service cannot be started at all, what you want is systemctl mask.

sudo systemctl stop rsync
sudo systemctl disable rsync
sudo systemctl mask rsync

(PS. Yeah, you really shouldn’t be running the rsync daemon. And you don’t need it to use rsync over ssh.)
