    [Combat] May report from the USF's "Signum" Battalion.

    Jump

  • Translator of their page says:

    Such losses were inflicted on the enemy by the fighters of the SIGNUM battalion during May.

    In personnel, the enemy lost 164 — two hundred, another 120 — three hundred, which is equivalent to almost three companies.

    SIGNUM is also actively working on the search and elimination of enemy pilots. Almost 30 shelters and more than 10 UAV operators — minus.

    Enemy artillery was also burning. 8 guns and 2 self-propelled guns were knocked out of action by the SIGNUM pilots, and for some time it became quieter for our infantry.

    After our fighters actively burned enemy armored vehicles, the enemy still does not risk going to the battlefield with them — instead, they switched to other equipment. So in a month we have 7 more units of heavy vehicles, 9 cars, 4 ATVs and 7 motorcycles. The enemy was also left without 5 NRKs.

    A separate area of work is the fight against enemy drones. During the month, the battalion pilots landed half a thousand drones. Among them are “Shahed”, “KVO”, “Supercam”, “Gerbera”, “Molniya”, “Zala”, “Orlan”.

    Well, sit back and relax. In the video — more than 6 minutes of eliminating the bastards!

  • Unlike previous wifi versions, this version 8 focuses on signal strength, stability and reliability. So, it's likely most non-wifi8 specific devices will benefit from it to some degree or another.

  • My family knows me as the anti-apple IT Guy. So, it shocked everyone when I brought home a Best Buy open box Apple TV 4K (saved me $20US).

    Honestly, this is my first Apple purchase since my ipod and I have to admit: it's good.

    Roku has lost their way and my 3 Roku Ultra devices are all dying for reasons unknown (freezing, random reboots, spinning endlessly when trying to open an app). I'm just so done with them (and Nvidia) for my streaming hardware business.

  • Notepad++ Creator Don Ho Calls Out "Fake" MacOS App Over Trademark Violation

    Jump

  • lmao. I've been around FOSS long enough to remember when GIMP was considered a rip off of Photoshop much in the same light and Blender was a Maya rip off early on.

    NP++ for Mac works, I'm running ut and it isn't plastic fake anymore than GIMP or Blender are. They fucked up in using the name though, it's not an official release.

  • Death by Technical Debt

    Jump

  • Technical Debt:

    1. Current company is running one of its main databases on Oracle 13 because they refuse to pay Uncle Larry a dime, but also cannot migrate it (Oracle eBusiness Suite EBS).

    2. Last company made copies of all customer servers hard drives and kept them in a cold vault. So, they had to maintain systems dating back to the 1980s to current in order to recover data from drives in cold storage. The local data recovery company loved them too as drives freeze up and don't spin after a while. They went under during Covid citing operational issues.

    Was fun having a sun 2 pizzabox, a Sun Ultrasparc 10, an SGI Orion and a series of x86 systems on my desk all the time though.

    1. A power company whose name I cannot share insisted on having 5 access and control rooms per power plant (most usually have 2-3 per plant) for redundancy. It drove them to near bankruptcy in the 2010s because of their tech debt trying to keep them all in sync world wide. Coolest part: I setup 20 x 70" Plasma TVs as a single C&C panel for their HQ back in 2007 using 3 Matrox video cards.

  • Reddit is finally entirely dead to me

    Jump

  • Welcome to the dark side for good and yes, it is better... overall. I've been on Lemmy now since the first mass exodus when I deleted my reddit account of 15+ years.

    While Lemmy is now my 'home', I do occasionally visit 3 reddit subs that have no equivalent elsewhere. It just happens and I see nothing wrong with the occasional view. It's not like /u/Spez can monitize my VPN anonymous visit. So don't feel bad if you end up doing the same, Lemmy just doesn't have the same volume.

  • It's a real application that looks and works just like NP++, but it isn't NP++ and never will be as NP++ is heavily written using Win32 and C++.

    NP++ would need a complete rewrite to work on anything other than Winblowz, which is what this Mac port is: a rewrite.

    I think it's valid that they have to change the name, but the app itself isn't fake.

  • AI uses less water than the public thinks

    Jump

  • True, but downvoted posts get even less views.

    I'm down voting because even a common HVAC tech could discredit this author into obscurity. This entire article is laced with assumptions probably as a result of improper AI use.

    Edit: As a datacenter solutions architect I also can tell you this article is garbage as everything comes down to BTUs. The higher the electrical use, the higher the heat output resulting in the equivalent tons of cooling needed to negate it. Go look up 'BTU calculator' if you think I'm full of shit.
