Invidious public instances have been completely blocked by this, it’s no longer AB testing. IDK exactly what triggers it but, too many requests from the same ip is going to show this now… maybe OP vpn exits with an ip shared by too many…

Thanks for the interesting write-up!

Thanks, I’ll have a look. It’s an universal mains power supply with no voltage switch.

How were you measuring the current in the power cable? Is this with a Kill-o-watt device or perhaps with a clamp meter and a line splitter?

For the current both with a line-splitter+clamp and checked with an in-line meter. For the power factor, since I don’t have any actual instrument to measure It, and I just needed a ball-park figure to discern actual consumption from a capacitor, I used this diy method: https://www.giangrandi.org/electronics/cosphi/cosphi.shtml , which measured 0.04 ( with great approximation ).

As for why there is a capacitor across the mains input […]

I have the basic on how a switching power supply work, but I was asking because it seemed weird to me that commercial appliances didn’t take any stand-by meaures to avoid “keeping the wires warm”… is this the norm?

Exactly, even when applied correctly, many projects will just not work with scrum. Managers that sponsor ONE approach have already failed…

The point is just differentiating your behavior between what you call a “bad” or a “good” junior.

And from experience the difference is whether they want to learn (regardless of their skill!!) or not (i.e are they passionate or it’s just a job?).

Passionate seniors get frustrated when they try to teach bad juniors, but there is no point on doing that, the problem was just that the senior was not involved in the hiring process…

I get what you mean, I think in a realistic scenario this only work to circumvent some laws. if you are tortured by someone who know about this and don’t care about your life, then it’s meaningless.

Does not “help protecting privacy”, that is marketing. It’s a system for ads that track you in a more privacy-friendly way then other alternatives.

Peoples are mostly angry at the fact that they just silently slipped this system in without asking for consent.

you’d almost certainly notice the change in gravity.

Really? can you actually percieve the sun gravity? Do you mean that we would get like a tsunami beause of the tidal effect? Now I kinda want a documentary about this.

In Italy it’s required by your contract, but you no longer need HR fortunately, there’s a dedicated website, and yes employer notice MUST be the same as the employee one…

The main issue is more about how many FOSS devs are available to implement what you just said unfortunately…

I meant that without these people who constantly work on it, Invidious would instantly die, we shouldn’t take them for granted…Google is constantly making changes that breaks it.

Btw they are not actually failing: just a few weeks ago Invidious was completely broken, but a guy posted a PR to fix that like the day after…

I kinda agree with you, being impossible to contact is probably unachievable in today society…Isn’t it more important to avoid sharing more personal information, like your exact location history with Google? (or pls explain me the downvotes)

Still haven’t got around installing Lineage on my phone to get rid of Google there

I’m going through that right now, definetely worth it, but it can be quite a job on some devices, have a spare phone ready when you start :)

Recently Teams is blocking Firefox even on Windows, but changing user agent was enough in my case…

Exactly, making everyone to switch over to something else is impossible…l’ll uninstall it as soon as they roll this out

In one of my jobs, they were automatically locking any push 2 hours before the shift ended.

The main downside of Tuta free for me is that you can’t create filters for free. The main downside of proton free is that you can’t remove their signature…

It is a stupid way to implement it, but the called function is named setMonth()! The minus one is performed externally, so if you set February you expect February, validation should adjust the other fields…
