@mjg59 I once was debugging a strange issue with a RHEL box where the interface would flap between 1000 and 100 and duplex, while the switch on the other side was having no problems.Only after collecting info and reporting the bug did I notice the cable got badly pierced and pinched... swapped it and the problem went away...

@twylo I've been working on building a DNS client, mostly from scratch.There's so many bizarre design decisions and hidden complexities just built on-top of each other.

@twylo DoH/T I didn't struggle too much with (though that's just more prior experience). DNSSEC I'm not looking forward to...

@foone I just tested this! The answer is that USB C takes priority. Even if the A device was plugged in first, C will take over once it's been plugged in, and return control when it's disconnected.

@foone wait, no - scratch that I'm mistaken - USB C takes priority! Even when USB A was first, plugging in the other side using USB will disconnect the A device and hand it over to the C device.

"Games are too expensive now!"Really? Take a look at this Maxis Product Price List from their 1993 product catalogue, and compare it to the adjusted prices for today's dollar.

Took a peek inside my #Zune HD today and found that it's dedicated to "our Princess" on the inside of the back cover.Turns out that Princess is an admin assistant on the team who passed away. A nice tribute, hidden inside a failed product.https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20180914-00/?p=99735

If you want to learn more about the Zune HD - I wrote a blog post on it a while back: In short, it was the last ditch effort for the Zune and it's also a massive lie.https://ianspence.com/blog/2022-11/zune-hd/
