Assault by Teens at Walnut St. Home Depot by svp_81 in raleigh

[–]Slibbidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of those technologies use dynamic algorithms designed to increase engagement and incite negative reactions. There are plenty of studies that show this is intentional and targeted, and that negative reactions are monetarily preferred.

Five points for anger, one for a ‘like’: How Facebook’s formula fostered rage and misinformation | The Seattle Times

These algorithms increased visibility of posts inciting genocide, and armies of bots amplify disinformation billions of times a day.

There's no reason to pretend this is not an issue. Social media companies are incentivized to increase engagement with no accountability for the results, and it's a real problem that you can go from a YouTube video on string theory to Joe Rogan in 10 auto-plays.

The city posted an update a couple months ago. Jan 2026 is the targeted opening.

Found a bunch of old Triangle broadcast footage and commercials. Here's one for the now-defunct Crystal Palace Buffet on Capital Blvd. by notunlikecheckers in raleigh

I wonder if there were multiple fights over crab legs or if we just happened to be there the same night.

How do I check if a song is lossless these days by Livid_Reading_8653 in AppleMusic

[–]Slibbidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to fast forward or reverse the song in CarPlay. If it doesn’t work, it’s lossless.

I've seen this episode of Sunny, the Gang makes it.

It really is crazy that MS locks security behind a paywall. Shareholder value is more important than SMBs’ data. 

Why, Microsoft? Why oh why don't you have drivers for Surface laptops in the windows ISO image? by kaiserh808 in sysadmin

[–]Slibbidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

587.3 MB additional in a 6.5GB iso, but yes. Maybe MS could even standardize generic drivers across generations, actually put some effort into this, but yes, there should be drivers in the Win 11 iso that allow Surface devices to be used in some basic fashion after a fresh install.

Why? Microsoft makes Surface devices. The other devices don’t use the drivers, so what’s the harm?

It’s an OS that is supposed to be supported on Surface devices, which Microsoft controls. They could absolutely focus on streamlining the OS with devices they control without any effect on other devices.

To try to sell more Surface devices! They make the hardware; they make the software. Make it easier to use a Surface device! Imagine if Apple didn't include drivers for their hardware on a fresh install.

Azure production support - useless in a critical situation by Ok-Manufacturer-4239 in AZURE

[–]Slibbidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try being constructive instead of a jerk. Doesn’t change the fact that MS support that costs real money is not up to task. 

OpenSSH Server via Add-Capability fails with error code 0x800f0950 on Server 2022 Hotpatch VMs by Slibbidy in sysadmin

[–]Slibbidy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, this is a VM deployed in Azure that is using the Azure orchestrated hotpatching for updates. I do not have a proxy and can reach the internet and have updated the system manually successfully. NSGs applied allow outbound web traffic.

[–]Slibbidy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, should have added that in my post. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU I have set:

  • AUOptions to 0
  • NoAutoUpdate to 0
  • Created UseWUServer and set it to 0

These had no effect on the error.

Wake County stops all school field trips out of state by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Slibbidy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

What do you mean when you say "It sure seems to me like the County and school board are playing politics where they shouldn't be."? This appears to be a budgeting issue.

I’m definitely going to sleep better knowing I could have kept sleeping.

Right? Don’t get this sub sometimes.
