I think we should extrapolate that to not using anything Google 😜

@fedops
BTW Mac Pro and PowerMac G5 are both undeniably workstations, but they run the same UNIX-like Mac OS X as every other mac did in their time, but it doesn't make every mac a workstation. Same way, calling HP's Z-series workstation running Windows a PC would just feel weird.

To me it still is that way, I consider ECC RAM mandatory and SMP-capable CPU os opposed to commodity one — no matter how many cores it has.
As for software, NT 3.51 came in Server and Workstation editions — and I don't remember anyone minding that naming even in the mid-nineties, they have revived it as separate Workstation edition of Windows 10.
The term UNIX workstation sure exists, but it was always denoted — just like you did, but never implied.

@cy @0xabad1dea

@fedops
I don't remember it ever being about the OS — or software in general for that matter. At some point it was about RISC, but it became less relevant as Intel CPUs caught up in terms of performance and gained SMP capabilities. It was always more about field of application and hardware having greater performance and reliability, but that was still supposed to be operated by a single user — as opposed to servers.

They have incoming connections from Israeli IP-addresses blocked BTW. I think 🤔

@fedops
What exactly do you expect me to find there that would exclude Windows machines "by definition"?
The article states that the term is loosely-defined and this: "However, by the early 2000s, this difference largely disappeared, since workstations use highly commoditized hardware dominated by large PC vendors, such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Fujitsu, selling x86-64 systems running Windows or Linux"

And knowing me, it's not hard to figure out which one 😈

@visone @0xabad1dea
When disconnecting from the network wasn't enough and you had to go for something more radical 😂
Not being able to boot is quite an innovative approach — I doubt they have invented it themselves, they've probably picked that idea from the vncviewer account from around here 😏

@fedops @cy @0xabad1dea
Why not? My vintage Mac Pro is running Windows now and it has dual Xeon, ECC RAM, all that shit…
Well, maybe there is a different definition of workstation that I'm not aware of 🤔

@hj @kaia
Apparently some still believe that solving problems is a matter of "good guys" "winning" — staying blind to the fact that democracy isn't that and that beloved leader becomes cruel dictator overnight when left unchallenged and without competition, same as "do no evil" company becomes a "only do evil" one as soon as it asserts market dominance 😩

@kaia
And why did they steal the Nintendo logo for their button design? Are we playing some game? 😂

@newt @kaia
Yes, but it's not like she comes from around the corner and is like "Oh, wow! Let's go!!!",— you at least have to somehow meet each other and have the opportunity to talk, but how is that supposed to happen if you have a vastly different… habitat.
Although I can see how that might happen if you're travelling a lot… 🤔

@newt
Yes, there is a universal extractor, that just picks whatever looks like an audio/video stream, but take a look in /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yt_dlp/extractor/
In a lot of cases it doesn't even do the scraping and uses "official" APIs, but presents them as a class, so they have a unified interface — they are often poorly documented, but these are the same APIs that their respective "apps" use.

@metallcorn @iron_bug
Более того, пару-тройку месяцев назад, они начали корпоративным клиентам из России, которые пользовались облачными сервисами, отказывать в обслуживании — подозреваю, что причина удивительной отказоустойчивости именно в этом 😆

@newt @kaia
How do you even get acquainted with a rural girl? 🤔

@newt
It sure is — because some has already put work into writing an extractor for yt-dlp so you can use it via a unified and streamlined interface 🤭
When you're using the API directly, doing that is up to you.
