Am I the only one that finds it incredible an air gapped device has enabled USB ports? You want to bring data to it, use a freaking cd/dvd-rom. You may bring all sorts of crap in, but if let's say the air gapped machine is reimage

You can't make conclusions based on that... At best these studies are a start to show where proper studies should be conducted. You may as well measure an impact of looking at printed paper. What about the impact of the actual activity

Adult here that has always had a device with a screen since they first became available. From a black and white Palm which required learning a special cursive script to write quicker, through iPhones of the 3G era to latest Samsungs today.

That would be something very cool to experience from the passenger side:-)

I'm very optimistic when it comes to AI. I use chatgpt all the time at work and for personal code, but copilot just feels much worse. Perhaps I just gotten used to prompting and guiding (and copy pasting code) to the model in a way tha

I ve tried to use these editors. I tried using copilot and gemini... They all hinder me more than help. And yet I use chatgpt few hours per day copy/pasting my code between my editor and a browser and it makes me massively more product

I would not be surprised if they got the funding precisely because of the controversy potential.

I can't understand how anyone can use these tools (copilot especially) to make entire projects from scratch and expand them later. They just lead you down the wrong path 90% of the time. Personally I much prefer Chatgpt. I give it spec

No idea... A current client (a Fortune 500 company worth billions and all of that money is in software developed over 50+ years) is currently migrating to Github... Also Copilot was rolled out to everyone a couple of months ago. So it seems

Why does it have to track your bloody location all the time though? Why not make it so it just logs in to the server every 5 minutes and asks. "Have I been stolen?" and if the answer is yes it activates. Better yet, mandate all so

This may be so in Teslas that have quite robust heat management. It definitely doesn't apply to many other brands. Anyone who knows anything about lithium batteries and sees temperatures at which fast charging is done will not believe

Good. The only thing that can create a lasting peace with authoritarian regimes abound is facing them from a position of strength. As the roman saying goes. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Exactly. I find the "remote worker" which hunt is gaining momentum in certain industries. I'm working in for a fortune 500 US company (one of EU offices) that has been trying to implement "back to the office" policy

It is absolutely insane a new company with no product and 10 employees can be valued at $5bln. Seriously?

I would upvote you twice if I could. Sadly the EU is botching yet another thing.

So what? Do all the knifes in the supermarket have rounded tips? What if someone stabs themselves with a knife with a sharp tip? Shouldn't we all give up normal knives to protect that one idiot that stabs himself? This is completely si

This is very naive view. Anyone that handles stolen goods will have a fence "repairman" (just like they have car breakdown places - in EU only certified establishments can breakdown cars). All it will accomplish is make repair har

Yes, 4 day work week... Especially for contractors that are paid by the day (and the amount of work to be done stays the same). I'd love a 4 day week if the daily rate went up so the pay doesn't change. Somehow I'm not holdin

70%... By lines written? Or by time taken? There is a huge difference. Sometimes you spend days trawling old code, even older dependencies to discover adding a line may fix your problem. In the meantime you may've read hundreds of page

This is a very cool discovery, but it's not like "used cement" ends up in landfills today. Most cement ends up as concrete. Crushed concrete of various sizes is a valuable aggregate used as a cheaper alternative to crushed st

Worse product? What other android phones do you mean? Sony? I used to buy Sony long time ago and I did like it, but around the time of Galaxy S8 I switched when my Xperia 3 unglued by itself in my pocket. None of my Samsung phones experienc

I've recently repaired a similar Samsung phone (a galaxy S9+ edge if I remember correctly). It has been extremely difficult to source a replacement screen. I first procured some from China from sellers that promised exact same tech. Al

And yet they were saving money by reusing photographic plates, bacause (as the article said) the observatory was constantly in danger of running out of funding. I guess science has always been underfunded.

Very cool, but I see one major problem with this. You need pretty large currents in these lines. They say above 100A. I'm not sure what are the usage patterns of such lines I'd be surprised if it wasn't substantially below 10

Anyone who has a garden knows scarecrows don't work (more than a couple of days anyway). Birds are surprisingly smart and they lean very quickly.

When I was setting up one of these $5 per month services(a simple php Web shop, with shopware if I remember correctly) I tested it with 10 concurrent users (5 req/s or so on average) and the $5.5 per month instance handled it just fine
