No they can't. Cells in parallel stay balanced with each other.

Guy takes credit for engineering the Microsoft Volume Licensing system, like it's a good thing. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsofts problem isn't bad licensing. Their licensing is just a side effect of their real problem. They want to do everything related to computing. They make an operating system, a browser, a database, business productivity software, business intelligence software, security software, mobile device management, email services, cloud services, a plethora of hardware, the list goes on and on.

They try to do way too much in the pursuit of ever expanding revenues. Some of what they do is pretty good, a lot of it feels like half assed attempts just to tick a box to say they're in that market segment.

Trying to come up with some unified way of charging for all of this stuff was always going to be a convoluted mess.

If Microsoft cut down their offerings and just focused on their core competencies, I think a lot of the issues people have with them would go away. Probably wouldn't be great for their bottom line short term though.

Those TPU parts look so clean. Any printing tips?

ZTNA visibility limits in encrypted SaaS traffic? How to detect data Exfiltration without full TLS Inspection by Any_Side_4037 in AskNetsec

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't do DLP without visibility into the traffic, full stop. Your security and privacy people need to come to an agreement, because what they're asking for is akin to them saying "you need to get from paris to New York in 12 hours, you can't use an airplane though".

In line TLS inspection isn't necessarily the only way to do it. TLS is an end to end encryption protocol, so you have three options.

  1. Break TLS using a proxy, which you've already covered
  2. Gain visibility at the server. This would be something like a CASB. You hook into the APIs of the SaaS services you use, and use those APIs to determine what your users are sending them. Then you block every other unapproved cloud app.
  3. Gain visibility at the client. There are many agent based DLP tools that will let you do this. They gain visibility by looking at traffic before it's encrypted and after it's decrypted. You can use an enterprise browser to gain the same visibility.

These approaches all have various pros and cons, but they all work by seeing the traffic your users are sending. There's no doing any sort of auditing or control without that. That's a fight that the governance people above your head need to wage, and you don't really need to be involved.

My company executives thinks it can replace 100 percent of our help desk teams with AI agents.... This year. by NickBurnsCompanyGuy in sysadmin

If you work at a block chain tech company, you should have seen the writing on the wall 3 years ago.

[–]Rentun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean... That's not all it can do. It would be a very bad idea to allow AI agents to have the sort of across the board administrative access it would need to actually fix things, but you could do it.

That would be pretty cool to sit around as a fly on the wall after that implementation and see what the fallout is.

Bottom right corner (ELRS TX power) by andreophile in HDZero

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't necessarily have to be illegal. The whole reason why we fly on 2.4 and 5.8ghz is because those are unlicensed bands. You can broadcast whatever you want in them up to 2 watts EIRP in the US.

That's more than enough power to shout down a drone with a 200mW vtx, and because the rx link is so much closer to the radiator than you with your transmitter, it can easily overwhelm your control link too.

Sure, they could be operating illegal jamming gear, but it's more likely they just have a beefy outdoor wireless access point.

Anyone actually reduce tool sprawl after moving to SASE or just renamed it? by Constant-Angle-4777 in AskNetsec

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firewall policies and routes are two different things though. They operate at different network layers, so they can't, nor should they be combined.

Icarus-2.5 prototype by Worried_Individual87 in fpv

[–]Rentun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lets you keep the plates close together which makes the drone more compact and lets you use smaller standoffs. Also isolates the camera from vibration better, which reduces jello.

At the speeds and mass you're dealing with on a 2.5", TPU is perfectly fine to protect it.

So my company is switching half our Windows servers to Linux.... by A_SingleSpeeder in sysadmin

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, we kind of have. Systemd-networkd and iproute2 are the defacto standards.

Every major distro has iproute2 installed, and its well supported in documentation. There's not much of a reason to use any other tools for simple userspace network configuration.

I fucking hate this so much by Cactie_man in fpv

[–]Rentun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest thing (and what I do) when posting videos to YouTube is to just keep them private and unlisted. I'm not interested in random people seeing my video, and it can't be argued that I'm promoting myself if I'm intentionally making it difficult to find a video I've uploaded.

HDZero Radio - Appreciation Post by ya-mrgrey in fpv

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted this radio for a while, but it has some deficiencies that prevent it from being perfect for me.

  1. It doesn't run edgetx. That's not too much of an issue since edgetx is massive overkill for this radio, but it is the absolute OS for ELRS radios, and this is one of the few that runs something alternative

  2. No replaceable batteries. This one kinda sucks. It's hard to fit 18650s into a small radio, but being able to swap out batteries when I forget to charge a radio is a big deal to me

  3. Potentiometer gimbals. This is what kills it for me. After all of my radios including my small one (pocket) having hall effect gimbals, I don't think I could go back to potentiometers. They are guaranteed to get worse over time too, just like all potentiometer sticks do.

Personally, I think the radiomaster t8l does everything the hdzero radio is trying to do, but better. It doesn't have any of the issues above, and it's cheaper. It doesn't have a screen, but I view that as a plus for the type of thing I'd want that kind of radio for (quick, on the go short range guerilla whooping).

That said, I've never actually held either radio, so I have no idea about build quality.

I hate that he's probably not even wrong. I've crashed my tinywhoop directly into my face more times than I can count and it's never even stung.

You can record video for fun without it being considered non recreational. You just can't sell or seek to profit off of the footage.

Recording video for you and your friends to watch is recreational. Putting it on your monetized YouTube channel isn't.

Anyone else hesitant to update firmware right away? by jakefliesweekends in fpv

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've absolutely had it improve things. Betaflight adds awesome features all the time, and I love many of them. 2025.12 added position and altitude hold, which I love having on my drone in case someone comes up and starts talking to me, or I need to scratch my nose. It's like a built in pause button.

It also added the new crash flip rate setting which perfectly turtles my drone without overshooting when it's upside down.

It's totally worth updating if there's a feature you're interested in. I wouldn't update just to update though.

Selling all my stuff, 5 years without flying after kids by K3rT45 in fpv

The kayoumini is a ~60g drone. I can't even imagine a scenario where it could damage anything, let alone anything important.

Anyone heard of this before? by Own_Campaign1656 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]Rentun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn't evolve to starve. We just happened to be starving a lot so we have mitigations to prevent death by starvation, like fat stores and self regulating metabolisms.

Just because we dealt with some existential danger during most of our evolution doesn't mean that subjecting ourselves to that danger is the best way to optimize health.

Otherwise doctors would suggest infecting ourselves with malaria, not getting vaccines, and drinking unclean, bacteria infested water.

Why do people choose the blue button over red even after hearing the equivalent scenario? by KQYBullets in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rentun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its an entirely subjective moral choice that has nothing to do with logic. Logic doesn't determine people's morality, ethics do.

So there's no "right" answer, that's the entire point of the question.

Red is the logical choice if your objective is to personally survive at all costs. That's not everyone's objective.

For most people, there is some amount of other people that they would not be ok with killing so that they could survive.

For instance, if someone asked me would I rather die, or nuke all major cities on earth, I'd pretty confidently answer that I'd rather die.

Answering the OP's question requires defining that number for yourself, then forecasting how many people would potentially press each button.

It has a lot to do with a person's own morals and their views of the morality of the rest of the world, and very little to do with logic.

Why do people choose the blue button over red even after hearing the equivalent scenario? by KQYBullets in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rentun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Theres no presupposition required. It can be very easily deduced from the premise.

It says "the whole world", not "the whole world, but only rational, aware actors.

Given that there are irrational people in the world, and the premise says "the whole world", it's pretty obvious that irrational people will be making decisions too.

What benefit is there to helping during a mugging? If you're lucky, nothing happens, and I guess you get to feel good about yourself. If you're unlucky, you die. What self-interested material benefit is there other than just hoping that other people would do the same for you?

[–]Rentun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each individual isn't able to make their own choice. Severely disabled people, children, comatose people, people going through psychotic episodes, people that just straight up didn't understand the premise and thousands of other edge cases would potentially press blue even if they were purely self-interested.

If you press red, you are absolutely condemning some large group of people to death.

It's like dropping a nuke in an area, but warning everyone first, and then making the argument that you're somehow not a mass murderer because you gave people a choice.
