In this context (IIRC) smart means “if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file”.

Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.

Oh yeah I’d prefer metric, but I was just being consistent with the thread, as the actual units are somewhat beside my point.

Now to find why I didn’t get a notification for this reply…

Cubic feet would be better, especially as taller vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians.

Same here. While mine is connected, I have no reason to use it with newer consoles in the same cabinet.

Ah yeah, I’ve never used the GUI for long enough to care how it looks, and no snap in CLI.

Good to know if my company forces my work laptop to windows 11! (I will not use an OS without a side taskbar)

Can you expand on that? I’ve never used Linux as a daily driver, interacting with Ubuntu systems via SSH.

The privacy concerns are not that Meta will read your messages (because they can’t, as you mention), but the metadata they can read such as your details and who you contact.

“So, Facebook can track who sends WhatsApp messages, when, to whom, from which location (if a user allows), etc - but not the content itself,” Rykov says “This creates a privacy concern for people who want full anonymity. These people should consider using more privacy-enhancing apps like Signal, Threema, Wire instead.”

WhatsApp became the dominant messaging platform in Europe before Facebook bought them. Most people are locked in to it because change is hard and they don’t care that much about privacy.

50k should be enough to get a mortgage and buy a house. Enough to buy a house outright would obviously be better.

I have a resolution joke, but I can’t read it.

That’s Cowen, former Chief of the Genii.

Looks like he has a nice retirement.

Indeed, he seems like a fine man.

you know they keep posting that you can heat a room, doing this…

No. Who is they and where are they posting it? I’ve never seen this before.

You’re right that robots aren’t going to be able to replace plumbers or electricians in traditional building projects.

But why can’t we change how new buildings are built so the method better suits robots. I’m sure with current technology we could design a building that could be built entirely by robots.

I don’t think it’ll happen because it will take a lot of time and money to develop such a holistic system, with no return on profit until it’s a complete system.

Have you tried walking to and from work every day? It can help you pretend they are different places.

You wake up and do your morning routine, then you walk around the block and start your working day when you reach your home office. Then at the end of the day walk around the block and home to mark the end of your work day.

Sure, you could make a new issue to start the discussion again!

According to the list, it must be awesome!
