Lol, they’re just renaming Remote Desktop to Windows.
So I can use Windows to connect to Windows, and run my Windows.
Truly a moment of marketing brilliance.

As someone who has gigabit, basically the only service that can reliably saturate that is Steam.
Realistically, the right math to do is a ‘how many people are here, and how many 4k streams are going to be watched at once, and how many megabits is that’ since almost nothing else you do is likely to do a sustained saturated use of your throughput for most (read: non-super-nerdy types) people.
Also if you have to ask, then you’ve never noticed and are in that ‘don’t really care’ zone, and you can probably get whatever you want and be fine.
As usual, the American tourist causes endless problems for their host country.
(I’m American but you have to admit that we suck as tourists.)
Linux was the NFT or Blockchain or AI of 1999, so every tech company was jumping on board.
The sales pitch, as I remember, was that you could run your Wordperfect or CorelDraw shit on it, and not need to have Windows to use it and instead could join the future, which was Linux. Though, amusingly, their version of the future was running Windows binaries via Wine on Linux which, eh, okay but…
Of course, nobody used Wordperfect or CorelDraw at that point in history so I’m not entirely sure how that was supposed to sell you on buying not-Word and not-Photoshop.
A group of people who stand to lose all the rights that have been fought for and won over the last few decades, and depending where they live are at actual risk of being murdered and the lead for the don’t-murder-me party is only 67%?
There’s no hope for anyone.
Didn’t .net core depreciate the older .net framework stuff, and by extension Mono, and the target you should be looking at going forward is the new .net core stuff?
(I’m more a janitor than a mechanic, so my understanding of what framework is or isn’t dead this week is probably lacking, but I recall seeing an awful lot of chatter going on about that.)
It reads like an advertisement for software-automated pentesting that just forgot to include a link to what they’re selling.
I don’t know if that’s the intent, but…
Also, if you want free pentesting, you could always just “accidentally” include credentials to something you push to GitHub. It’s free, AND done by a human!
Edit: LMAO, it is an ad. A “contributed piece from our partners” line down at the bottom.
Make sure you come back and update me when you try it, and then find out that the cables are all stapled to the studs.
That’s always extra fun to discover once you start running cabling.
Though, if you have good coax everywhere, MOCA is a legitimate option you should be considering, as it’ll do gigabit (more than, even) and the adapters aren’t particularly expensive compared to dealing with having to pull cabling through everywhere.
It’s such a reasonable a policy I’m finding it hard to believe, unless there’s a clause that they get a kidney, or are allowed to show up and break your ankles, or are taking ownership of your first born child or something.
As someone who lived through that era, I can assure you that throughput is no deterrence to shitheads, morons, asshattery, and annoyance.
(Also, if you think Fediverse or even Reddit mods are bad, let me introduce you to the 1988 BBS Sysop.)
That’s been my take on the whole ‘use gopher/gemini!’ bandwagon. Nice idea, but the solution to the problem leads to more problems that need solutions, and we’ve come up with solutions to those, but on other protocols.
And I mean, if I stab someone in the face with a screwdriver, the misuse of the screwdriver isn’t in some way specific to the screwdriver and thus nobody should use screwdrivers.
Same thing with all the nonsense a modern website does: HTTP is fine, it’s just being used by shitheads. You could make a prviacy-respecting website that’s not tracking you or engaging in any sort of shifty bullshit, but someone at some point decided that was the only way to make money on the Internet, and here we are.
Yeah, now you get mean people, a drive-by malware installer, AI generated ads, and 4mb of JS that tries to scrape every detail about you so they can make a profile they can sell to (dis)information brokers.
Truly, an improvement.
(People have always sucked, the Internet just lets you interact with more people so…)
Their whole writeup is somewhwere between “trust me bro” and “enough holes you can legally sell it as swiss cheese”.
I’m utterly confused as to who the target market for this is since their current userbase clearly does not care if shits encrypted or not, and any even remotely privacy oriented person is going to have the exact same take you did.
I guess along with all the google money, they also got Google’s pathological need to cancel everything, too.
I’ve never liked web UIs that have that level of permissions to screw around with the OS it’s hosted on.
Maybe that’s just some grumpy greybeard thing, but I’d really rather not have a single management plane that has full access to EVERYTHING, since that just feels like you’re one configuration oopsie away from some guy in Albania (<3 you, Albania) uploading all his hentai to your server and then trying to hack the FBI or some shit. (Or, you know, the much more boring oops-i’m-a-zombie-now outcome.)
Alternately, what’d be really neat would be an easy way to mostly completely do a webpage setup for someone using the free hosting options that do exist.
Like, a tool that makes handling deploying something to Github Pages or Cloudflare Pages or whomever else offers basically free web hosting that isn’t nerdy to the point that you need a 6,000 word document to explain the steps you’d have to take to get a webpage from a HTML editor to being actually hosted.
Or, IDK, maybe going back for ye old domain.com/~username/ web hosting could be an interesting project to take on, since I’m sure handling file uploads like that should be trivial (lots and loooots of ways to do that.). Just have to not end up going Straight To Jail offering hosting for people, I suppose.
It’s not an attack on certain minority groups unless you consider “normal average person” a minority group.
It’s just a little bit of the old nerd superiority complex leaking out with a new word attached to it.
The resurgence of a lot of pre-web protocols is interesting, but I’m not entirely sure it’s going to be a sticky thing beyond a novelty.
Also 100% agree with the first comment that on an article about the small web half the content is YouTube videos being hilariously tone-deaf ironic. If only there were some other method of sharing videos with people. Perhaps some sort of tube that’s peer-to-peer? A PeerTube, if you will.
No no, just feeling like they’re in danger is fine now.
If you yell something, you might spook the person you’re intending to shoot who is, for example, simply holding their wallet.
I for one look forward to the next Terminator movie, written by ChatGPT.
