From StackOverflow:

Switches will send packets to all interfaces when using broadcasts or under extreme conditions (full MAC Address Table). This can lead to duplication if there is a loop between two or more switches and if the Spanning Tree Protocol is not used. So the answer is rarely.

I’ve used FreeCAD for a few months for small/medium-sized projects and it crashes way too often. It’s pretty much unusable for me. I only use it for CAM these days and do my CAD with OnShape.

What they didn’t mention is that hat guy is an Alpine user.

I looked it up and it seems to be the 2020 version. I recently got it with a Steam Deck that I bought second hand.

If I recall correctly, it was meant as a measure against fingerprinting. It’s basically one less thing to uniquely define a user based on the info that the browser gives to a website. I’m not sure if it’s still like that, cause it’s been easily a year since I used LibreWolf.

I applaud LibreWolf’s efforts, but the hard-coded timezone makes it unusable for me. Other than that, it’s a great browser. I used it several months until the timezone confusion got the best of me.

My Xbox Wireless Controller couldn’t connect with Bluetooth until after a firmware update. The update required a Windows machine and the Xbox Accessories app (VM didn’t work) or an Xbox One (360 didn’t work).

For me, the sweet spot is IntelliJ with the vim plugin. If you want to give emacs another try, I recommend Spacemacs. I use Spacemacs sometimes, but not for code.

Check the second hand market. That’s how I got a 2TB one (with hub and Xbox Wireless controller) for less than what the 256GB one costs new and out of the sales period.

It seems like this might break the GDPR rules for consent:

Any element of inappropriate pressure or influence which could affect the outcome of that choice renders the consent invalid.

or if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance.

I’m not a lawyer though, so maybe a legal expert can chime in.

edit: the jury is still out it seems:

My theory is that it covers dash cam recordings (video and/or audio). Some dash cameras point backwards from the back mirror, so they get a partial view from inside the car. Everyone's assuming that Nissan is intending to collect this info, but their EULA might merely be a side-effect of dash cam data being available to technicians when they work on the car (e.g. fixing the dash cam).

Like someone else mentioned: you should be able to join meetings without an account.

That said, making an account with a custom email address will not create a microsoft mail inbox for you. Microsoft, however, will use your email address to send service-related messages. If I recall correctly, you can manage what kind of messages you want to receive, in your account settings.

The main difference is that you’d just be making a regular(free) microsoft account bound to an existing email address of your choice, as opposed to binding your domain name to a microsoft account to host your email there - which is mostly something companies do and is a paid service last time I checked.
