6·30 days agoYeah no you’re just using the wrong words to describe your issue.
I mean, that’s the preferable way should OS should handle a borked update, it sure beats just bricking the computer.

104·30 days agoYes it is, because the HW is completely unnecessary, you can emulate it perfectly on a potato. It only serves a nostalgic purpose, which is also fine, but in all other aspects it is completely obsolete.

82·30 days agoExcept for a fairly tiny niche community of users still using them for nostalgia reasons, the NES is absolutely also ancient and obsolete in every way and has been for several decades.

9·30 days agoThat’s not them bricking it though. Yes it’s shitty build quality, but that is an entirely different issue than them bricking equipment that still is very much functional from a HW perspective.
According to your link, toxic dose is >10g/day and not 1g
Toxic doses, over 10 grams per day for an adult, greatly exceed the typical dose of under 500 milligrams per day.
Also, >500mg/day will not send you to the hospital…sincerely me, drinking 3-4 double espresso (that’s ~150mg/cup) before lunch at work. Healthy? No doubt it isn’t…but also very far from lethal.
There are plenty of artisinal coffee roasters that source beans ethically.
This i a very reasonable and good way to handle corporate IT security on the device level. This is how most places should be doing it.

12·1 month agoOh my fucking god people…I didn’t say you could claim you made something when using AI generated images. I claimed it still makes sense for some things because they hold pretty much no artistic value when made by humans already (like icons, stock images and logos)

1·1 month agoNo, they’re not, never claimed they did. I said that what comes from it still holds value and is still subject to human approval in the end.

ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.comtoNyheder@feddit.dk•Førtidspensionister kan miste deres pension: Regeringen vil genåbne 'visse' sager
121·1 month agoVi er vidne til, at over hver femte på førtidspension er en udlænding. Så der er behov for at få kigget på de her førtidspensionssager. Jeg stoler ikke på en eneste udlænding, der har fået førtidspension, når de bare bliver givet til højre og venstre, siger Nick Zimmermann, beskæftigelsesordfører for Dansk Folkeparti.
Det er dybt problematisk, at regeringen bare taler om at ville genåbne nogle sager. Det er klart, at mange af de danske førtidspensionister nu sidder med ondt i maven og kan tænke: “er det min sag, der bliver åbnet nu”. Og selvfølgelig skal det ikke være det, siger Nick Zimmermann.
Ja vi ved jo allesammen godt, at det kun er de brune mennesker der er uærlige og snyder systemet…jøsses vi er godt nok ved et lavpunkt i samfundet når den slags åbenlys racisme ytres helt uden skyggen af skam.

21·1 month agoI would honestly argue that the way an artist makes art is also completely irrelevant. The art is only meaningful in the way it’s perceived, how the artist physically makes it is of very little importance. The tools and materials are just a means to an end, it’s the finished product that inspires feelings and thoughts, not the process of how it came to be.

45·1 month agoNot really. It’s the equivalent of ordering a “build it yourself” sandwich where you specify type of bread and content, and having someone else make it. Yes you didn’t actually assemble the sandwich yourself, but who cares how that happened, you have the sandwich you wanted, it contains what you wanted, it tastes and looks like you intended.
I’m not arguing that people using AI generated images can call themselves artists, I’m arguing that AI generated can have a useful purpose replacing menial “art” work.

22·1 month agoit’s just colors and noise.
But that’s exactly my point; logos, icons, stock images etc. are already nothing but noise meant to just catch the eye…might as well just get it auto-generated.






So in the event of a failed update, what would be the preferable way to handle it then? I think automatically rolling back to a functional state before the update is pretty optimal.
