Thanks for the info, I learned something new. So if for example I run my tv through my VPN and I’m watching youtube. When I switch to the netflix app, the VPN service determines that I’m trying to hit a netflix IP, so it routes it out to an outgoing IP specifically for netflix geo-blocking evasion that is separate from what youtube was using?
It is, when you want to evade geo-restrictions. More servers spread over different IP blocks means there’s more chances the streaming services aren’t aware of some of those IPs yet, so they aren’t blocking them yet.
Are you able to get through geo-restrictions on streaming services with IVPN? They have fewer servers than Mullvad it seems. Like for Singapore, they have 2, Mullvad has 5. In Japan, they have 1, while Mullvad has 9.
Curious to know this as well. I think it’s possible, but I myself am not capable of writing the filter.
What a headline.
And this isn’t even on the IT department themselves. It’s the usual suspect: 3rd party vendor contracted to store data. But yes, the point still stands that they are overworked, underpaid, and sometimes underqualified.
I have a 15+ year old laptop with an nvidia graphics card of the same age and it runs Mint fine. Cinnamon is a bit slow, but xcfe is pretty good, given the hardware.
You’re riding a data center on wheels
Oh yeah? Where’s my tax break then? And my subsidized water usage?
Doesn’t paralysis just mean you can’t move it, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t feel? I wouldn’t also count out someone developing phantom pain after an amputation despite not having any feeling on the limb prior.
It was attacking Romeo’s hair too while the actor was playing dead on the floor. Ultimate professional and he didn’t flinch.
Same with tech conferences. Find me at the breakfast and lunch buffets, and maybe scouring the vendor booths for some free socks and shirts.
Lmfao anything to try to get a snap of your face.
XP ruled idk what they’re on about. Windows 8 really began the death knell of Windows IMO.
Yeah XP was great. I would even say Windows 7 was the pinnacle. The best modern Windows before it started to enshittify.
I’m in this thumbnail and I want that right now.
Yes but there is an external factor involved here: leaving the door open for extended periods of time. If we’re talking about energy saving for the battery, and you can probably extend that to the environmental effects as well, at some point it’s more cost effective to turn the A/C off. I’m not gonna argue if 30 seconds is that point, people who know more can confirm that.
Now obviously what they are NOT taking into account is driver comfort and the fact they are literally being timed down to the second with their deliveries to the point they leave the door open just to shave off a couple of seconds on each stop.
Yes, but it does that with the doors generally closed most of the time. An A/C that has to keep turning on and off way more frequently because it gets warmer immediately due to a door being open more than closed is different.
Yeah, I think it’s more energy-intensive to keep turning the A/C on and off again and again, but there’s definitely a point where it’s more wasteful if the door is kept open long enough and it’s more friendly to the battery (and environment) if you turn it off. But it’s a moot point here because as long as the driver is delivering that door will have to be opened again and again and they’ll need the cabin cool either way.
“Rivian recently released a software update for Electric Delivery Vehicles that actually extends climate control for drivers,” the Amazon spokesperson said. “As a result, the AC now runs for up to 10 minutes after a driver exits the vehicle, ensuring a cool cabin when they return. The timer resets at every stop. The AC only shuts off if the driver sliding door is left open for more than 30 seconds — a battery conservation measure.”
So it doesn’t turn off the A/C as long as you shut the sliding door when you get out. I do understand that it’s a hassle to have to close the door after you grab the package at every stop. But you have to close the door anyway before driving. Although I’ve seen many times drivers just keep the door open the entire time they’re driving around a neighborhood with multiple stops.
On the other hand, maybe drivers do that because they are being timed by the second, so not having to close the door saves a second or two every stop.
I haven’t read any more articles since the news immediately after the incident. It seemed impossible he was able to get out on his own with how fast things happened. I feel like he was ejected on impact somehow. Super lucky of course.
Dude keeps trying to cash in on the next big thing but always fails. He’s never had an original idea and just lucked out with facebook, which was preceded by myspace anyway.
