on a Mac, it's Option+Shift+-

— (em dash)

Option+- gives you an "en dash": – which is longer than a normal hyphen.

Agreed re: the sci-fi story / trope.

I feel like a lot of this is a problem when someone technical is attempting to communicate a complicated technical subject to a less-technical audience.

I can only dumb a thing down so much before the description is useless (when you zoom out too much you lose the details). Even technical people who could understand it but are lazy / "in a hurry" use the summary, without thinking about what detail they are losing.

Even more infuriating is when they then reply to my email, having only read the AI summary, and ask a question that was already answered by my message.

This is the exact same thing that happened pre-AI, with the added step of wasting energy/resources on the AI summary in the middle.

outside of the US, whatsapp has a huge chunk of the "private" messaging market. Everything that we usually use SMS or iMessage for, happens via whatsapp in much of Europe and South America.

How does it benefit Apple for their customers to enable their wifi? They are fairly explicit about NOT tracking everything you do and selling it.

OTOH, it benefits the phone owner to use wifi, as it's lower power use than cellular the majority of the time.

A bunch of the morons out there who turn off wifi out in public because they read some random NYPost article about it "tracking" you, would then be bitching to Apple and/or their cell carriers about why their performance is so bad at home when it doesn't auto-join wifi overnight.

I would agree with you that it should operate like a dumb toggle if they didn't have the notification saying that it would auto re-enable again.

Synology actually supports the old (non-encrypted) rsync protocol, too. On a trusted LAN, it runs much quicker that way than with rsync-over-ssh...

I just finished slurping all of my files off an old Synology and onto a TrueNAS server. Unlike the article here, my Syno is 2x1Gb in a LAG, so I was really only getting ~1Gbps at max.

One disappointment with TrueNAS is that it doesn't support SMB-MC unless you put each interface on a separate subnet (which is a strange limitation because Samba itself doesn't seem to suffer from this, since synology handles it fine)

If that's the setup, the only way anything would run more than 1Gb is if the Synology is doing SMB-multichannel (which if they setup 4x1Gb LAG, then it's not SMB-MC). [edit] reading the article, they do have the Syno setup for SMB-MC and that's the only reason this wasn't stuck at ~120MB/s

There is also Xbox Series S, around the same time as the Series X...

i have a 3-letter .onl domain that is the first 3 letters of my last name

I have actually needed to use it, because my cell provider (Visible) has absolutely moronic form validation that doesn't recognize a hyphen as a valid character in an email address, even though it very much is. (My main .net domain has a hyphen in it)

and this is why everything needs 32+GB of RAM and an assload of storage.

LLMs don't have human attention to detail, IME

crs305 will choke when you start asking it to do NAT. it's a switch. It should be able to hardware-route between VLANs but it's not made for "home router" duties.

It was, until they came up with v4 around a year ago or so.

It's possible to run v3 under Wine on a Mac but it was kind of clunky. V4 is much nicer (also runs on Linux too).

AFAIK this is because TrueNAS is trying to be all things to everyone, and they like Docker more than BSD jails.

Irony: can't read TFA without bypassing a signin-wall.

This isn't a 26.5 bug, this is a bug fixed in 26.5.
