I call them x-cretions. So you x-crete them.

Had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

Gonna need some citation on Secret Invasion. I think that’s a bastardization of the fact that AI was used to create the intro graphics which is widely known and talked about, but not used with the scripts.

Stop trying to throw statistics into sensational headlines!

Nation favors local incumbent, news at 11…

Control is another thing. I can’t tell you the amount of execs I’ve heard say “they’re losing control of their company” or “I don’t feel I have the same control over my people”. It’s crazy that they think that. What do they think the past 3 years have been when they’ve gotten record profits “oh, but our profits would be even better if we had people back in the office”. Sadly no amount of data will override the entrepreneurial “it could always be more” what if that they throw out.

10-15? That’s childs play. I honestly read probably an order of magnitude more than that.

Ironically Sync can block entire instances.

Gee, take your pick: you have the bad rebranding, the yanking and cancellation of some of their best shows (seriously, Westworld? You owned it!), cancelling already completed movies (Batgirl) or raising the price and removing 4k as a default among other things.

I thought musk was doing a Speedrun on how to kill a company but didn’t realize he had competition.

That picture doesn’t say much. What is the weather like right now?

How it’s implemented can vary, but you’re gonna take one of three approaches

• Microsegmentstion - On a home network this is the hardest but ensures there’s no overlap
• Separate VLAN - this is usually good if your router can support it and have multiple gateways for each VLAN. Your router can then restrict traffic. Unifi gear does this well and I use this set up to segment my guest and IoT traffic
• Separate subnets - if your router doesn’t support multiple VLANs this can work, but you still need a router that supports it

The latter two can actually work with an unmanaged switch as long as you tag your vlans correctly. The key is having a router than can handle it.

More meat for the grinder.

I miscalculated at 9% which is $4,023. Which is within $200 of the value. Regardless though my statement still stands. 6 interest points yields almost a 50% cut in buying power. Any of the other levers can tweak it but the core of the premise remains the same.

Saw this in a news article: The monthly principal payments on a $1M note at 3% is equal to the monthly payments of a $500,000 note at 9%.

So a 6% jump in interest rate effectively halves your buying power. Of course people aren’t going to sell their houses if they don’t have to.

Edit: got my percentages 1 point off.

You’re just not going to give up this crusade are you? Going to start comparing salaries of line workers to starving kids in Africa again?

Do you know how much a lot of those positions make? A lot are in the $15/hour range if they’re lucky. That’s for a Production Assistant, others are very much in that range to. Given that numerous studies have shown that’s not enough to live on depending on the state, it very much means they’re struggling to survive.

Then you obviously don’t know how a movie is made and who is involved. Once you have a full AI movie, you won’t need any of the hands on set that definitely aren’t rich… Grips, caterers, assistants, makeup, wardrobe, etc. Those aren’t “pseudo-wealthy”. They’re working a 9-5 to make ends meet.

I give credit to the admins of Lemmy.world. Because their instance blew up in popularity, they went through and did some optimizations to DB and other queries. What’s even better is they’ve submitted the PRs so all instances can scale as smoothly going forward.
