I think you're misremembering. IE6 was a broken implementation of the standards of the time. And Microsoft decided that web browsing was done and did not update their browser. It was a scheme for vendor lock-in.

It isn't a gotcha to say they own a computer. Making a choice not to buy a car makes a measurable impact. It's not a gotcha to say that they partake in society. By your logic, it'd be arbitrary to safely dispose of motor oil

If someone feels like making what they see as a positive impact by making a lifestyle choice. What's the point in saying: "But you do some unrelated thing???" Is the argument that there's no point in making a small diffe

How does the cost of building a standards compliant web browser have anything to do with lack of access to the internet? Web browsers are free. This is an infrastructure issue where people don't have internet access.

How does the network protocol of bitcoin work? Would governments be able to block it? Can it be DDoS-ed?

Well I'm sitting here with my 1000/1000 internet connection and I couldn't be happier. I'm always amazed how users will demand less for their money.

The value is in having multiple apps stored in memory. I think the average person multitasks more on their phone compared to a PC. Things like having a lot of tabs open. Messaging applications, music streaming etc. It's not required.

The most ram you can get on the machines is 16gb.

Such high swap usage sounds like a bug. But at the same time. 8GB of ram isn't a lot. Especially when multi tasking. I know there was a lot of talk about Apple's directly soldered RAM being super efficient. But if you've got

The linked webpage is from the New York Attorney General's office and the quote you quoted is from one of BitFenix's lawyers.

I haven't seen someone who advocates for anti net neutrality in such a seemingly genuine way. Those poor ISPs having to upgrade their services to support their user's needs.

Nvidia PR [1] has stated that it's a bios level feature. And their bioses require signatures. [1] https://twitter.com/bdelrizzo/status/1362619264423747590?s=2...

It's kinda amazing that Nvidia could have increased the RRP for each of their 30 series cards by $300 and it'd still be in short supply.

I'm guessing their 3060 product is their budget card so it's easier for them to limit performance on that.

I think the reasoning is that it's to prevent a stolen laptop from being stolen, wiped and resold without the owner allowing it through their credentials. I remember a poster on HN saying that after some exploit for the T2 security chi

I'm still amazed that Intel doesn't have anything that can compete with AMD's 64 core workstation processor. Have they got PCIe Gen 4 yet?

Gates has dedicated his post-microsoft life to issues like climate change. Would a 4 year undergraduate degree really make him more authoritive.

What's scary about this? They're complying with GDPR. Isn't that a good thing? The "scary" thing in that tweet is that they store the manufacturer of their bluetooth headphones?

Those scary warning pages are an indication that someone is intercepting your traffic. What do you think about connecting to a network, and your phone sends a user/password to a server but instead it's being intercepted? And the u
