Planes are typically in service for decades but if they could eliminate the pilots, that could very well change the calculus. But, public mistrust of a pilotless plane might very well put the kibosh on that for a long time. People have trou

I don't think "of course" belongs in that sentence. Not everybody feels so defeated, or would feel better seeing the manifest evidence of societal dysfunction (if it happened, I've not foreclosed on it) emerging from bla

Interesting take given that a Mac today has virtually nothing in common with a Mac of the late 1990s, let alone 1984.

And some motherboards even have a backup BIOS if one of them becomes deranged. Now that's luxury.

Isn't it some comfort that you can see there is something to stop or change?

You can spin up Windows 95 and its games today! But, for a long while now, the forecast has been looking increasingly grim for emulation and software preservation. That said, if you're targeting the performance envelope of 1990s games,

No, none of this is true. They aren't playing games with consent. They even mention the potential for data breaches.

I'm always amused to read such strong opinions but I also don't know what you're talking about that would be Kotlin's fault.

As a happy Mac convert, the drivers are not perfect (video is especially buggy and Sonoma only made it worse). I personally experienced driver issues very rarely mostly on machines I personally built (the story for OEM-qualified configurati

If they developed a competent eGPU implementation (currently entirely unsupported in Silicon Macs as far as I know), then that and another tier or two of CPU options fitted into the Studio line sounds more like Apple's style. The trash

To my memory, it was known that Apple had been maintaining an x86 build of OS X for some time, so it wasn't completely out of left field. But, it still felt surprising, if only for their intense marketing painting Intel processors as s

I wouldn't say it just happened to be. There's been an orgy of synergies mostly but far from exclusively with Windows that put or has kept x86 at a crossroads of cost, performance, platform openness, and compatibility across vendo

Immigration is de facto controlled unilaterally by the executive, because the Supreme Court declines to engage with the issue, meaning constitutionality is not considered, meaning legislation isn't enforced. The constitution in fact do

Sex Education explores sex positivity, which includes consent, respect, and just not having any. It also deals with the subject of sex crimes and reporting sex crimes. Anathema to Wenstein types. But you say it's "definite".

I've read that yields can often be safer than stop signs for the same reason.

Yes! Bing is finding its footing and is introducing nifty value-adds. But, that has taken a long time, during which it was mostly the butt of jokes. So, not saying all of these were abject failures and a few are still around and doing OK (S

I remember a lot of positive commentary on Windows Phone's UI and concepts. It was distinctive from iPhone and Android, which, with Android largely aping iOS, were pretty same-same, so it was a refreshing reinterpretation. And besides

And it never got that ecosystem because of inscrutable mismanagement so scatterbrained and perplexing that I can't wait for the insider-tells-all book about this post-iPhone period at Microsoft that I assume will arrive in a decade or

Did you forget about the Mac Mini? I'd say Apple is roughly still sticking roughly to the quadrants in the Mac space, with the Mac Mini/Studio and MacBook Air/Pro. The iMac is the odd one out in my view. It exists somewhere o

You're focusing on how hard it will be to read but the central thrust is whether it is recoverable at all. Can't read what no longer exists, by any means. Paper disintegrates without maintenance. Tape disintegrates. Hard drives lo

There's a now-notorious group of voters born two or three decades before the 80s that largely don't think it's outlandish at all.

Be careful, sometimes these server boards will be missing stuff that you'll want in a desktop. ASRock Rack boards often have insomnia. That is, they don't support low power states.

As well-engineered as it is, does it justify its price tag? I don't know anything about the components here but there are pretty sophisticated electronics within this bracket, and it's enough dough to make a substantial dent in pr

COBOL! Was delighted to get to this word because I'd started wondering if verbosity mattered, and couldn't say what the value of more or less verbose would be. Any insight on that?

I actually misread. The lawsuit itself is concerned with selling Steam keys, no claim from "sources close to Valve" necessary.
