David Heinemeier Hansson called for the extermination of Romani people, comparing them to animals. An entire roster of tech tycoons responded by each personally giving him $1 million for his open source software project, even though he’s already wealthy enough to have a personal race car team.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a test signal generator command line tool? Something I can script to create sounds of a particular spec? e.g sine for 2 seconds at -20dB followed by sine for 2 seconds at 0dB.

this is not how power over ethernet works
a screenshot of an amazon listing page for a US wall outlet plug to two C13 plugs (commonly used for desktop PCs and such). the photo in the listing shows a power conditioner (or something similar) plugged in to two network switches. it's obviously AI generated. one of the two plugs is plugged into an ethernet port.

This is a politician who understands that this is not an indulgence, it's an investment. Every public space where you can have fun and not spend any money is probably more of a crimebuster than 100 cops.
