Are there any popular/well-known WebRTC senders (or servers)? I'm pretty sure this is not for YouTube etc., right? So what would I watch through WebRTC?


Twitch supports WHIP today. Lots of WebRTC services support WHIP (Cloudflare, LiveKit, Dolby...)

webrtcHacks has an article on it[0] kind of old, but captures the spirit of it!

Classic. Not even 30 minutes after the post someone comes in and low-key threatens your toy project :-D


For WSL 1, I kinda agree. It was basically the Posix Subsystem re-implemented and improved. Technically amazing, and running parallel to Windows without virtualization. Too bad it had so many performance issues.

But WSL2 is just a VM, no more, no less. You can do the same with VMware Workstation or similar tools, where you even get a nice accelerated virtual GPU.


For those wondering:

WSC stands for Windows Security Center.

I had to look it up as well


> The part of the system that manages all this mess is called Windows Security Center - WSC for short.

It’s in the article


true, but you have to read until the 4th paragraph to find it. Putting it in the title would have been better


Fair point


Basically they are telling people whose support contract expired to stop using/installing newer patches (that they received/downloaded from "somewhere")

Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me...

If you prefer to run without support, you can of course still do that. But don't install newer patches then.


Ahh, you've read the article... Where's the fun in that! :-)

My minor personal grief is that I've had perpetual licenses for vsphere 6. In the transition to broadcom account, those have completely and utterly disappeared - if you read the details of 3rd level FAQ, by design. Ah well!


Can the acquiring company even decide to dishonour the acquired company’s legal obligations?


I think lawyers will decide whether they are dishonoring obligations or not.

The real tragedy to me is the loss of access for non massive customers. Vmware was smart to build a slope of adoption, from individual techies with curiosity and home labs, to small shops with simple needs, all the way through massive governmental or multinational behemoths. That ramp-up is being dismantled. They can ride current crop of enterprise customers for a long time -- but where is next batch going to come from? Which techies in which company in 10 years,who don't already have pervasive vmware footprint, will even begin to consider it?


> Which techies in which company in 10 years,who don't already have pervasive vmware footprint, will even begin to consider it?

Quite the opposite, actually - actively try to not fall into that trap.


SiriusXM tried to weasel out of Lifetime subscription obligations and lost in a class action.


correct me if I'm wrong, but the perpetual licenses under VMware also came with the requirement that you only get patches/updates as long as you pay for a support contract, right?

"perpetual" basically meant that your license doesn't suddenly expire, not that you get free lifetime patches/updates


Agreed. But my account no longer has any mention, visibility, or indication that my perpetual licenses ever existed. No record of purchase. No ability to download. No ability to obtain and check your license.


Did you, there were people getting it days after there contract expired


You don't think it's unreasonable to sell a 'lifetime' license and then go like "haha fooled you bro, gotta pay up now"?


I'm pretty sure "lifetime license" never meant what you think it did.

It just meant that the license itself doesn't suddenly expire (and render your VMware environment useless/non-working). It didn't mean that you get lifetime free updates. That was always tied to a support contract.


Do these work the same as the professional/medical ones? A friend of mine had one during a study, and she claimed it worked by electrostimulation (small electric shocks), not ultrasonic waves?

She wanted to buy one of those devices because they really helped her but the cost was upwards of 1500€, this would probably be within range for her, assuming it works the same way?


text says "implanted device", which is going to put in by a neuro surgeon


I wasn't talking about the article, I was replying to a comment about the zenbuds


> 66.6% of all traffic is blocked

I hear things like this a lot from PiHole users. But it's incorrect.

Correct would be: 66.6% of DNS requests have been blocked. This says nothing about the actual volume of traffic/data that has been blocked


66.6% of traffic per DNS request is a metric of network traffic. You could measure by bandwidth, by number of packets, by number of sessions, etc. There are many measurements one could use, and DNS requests is one of them. It would probably be irrelevant for other purposes but isn't a crazy measurement given this context.

It would be pretty difficult to measure by more typical measures (e.g. bandwidth) because if you block DNS resolution you don't know the size of the resources you are blocking...


66% would indicate that OP may have a device repeatedly trying to resolve a blocked query with no reasonable backoff logic.

In my case, a single "smart light" in my house hammers iot-auth-global.aliyuncs.com all day, every day. Three other identical lights running the same firmware don't however.


The magic happens in the "analyze -v" part. This does quite a long analysis of a crashdump (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/d...)

After that, all that is required is interpreting the results and connecting it with the source code.

Still impressive at first glance, but I wonder how well it works with a more complex example (like a crash in the Windows kernel due to a broken driver, for example)


can't be ready for everything and anything shrug


We can be significantly better prepared for most things.


We are prepared, just have the people in the suburbs breed some more and ship them over to the decimated cities. You can think of people in the cities as the rat-wheel of production. No culture is better than any other culture, therefore all culture is expendable.


no matter how well we're prepared for anything, we can still be significantly better prepared for most things...


No, not realistically. There are physical and economic constraints. There's no reason to over-prepare either. It's absurd to remain as catastrophically vulnerable as we are though.


I can only imagine the "fun" in getting those synced back up to the European grid once this is all over... That alone will take weeks
