I wouldn't say they tasted like crap, but they where a novelty. Try it once or twice then never go back.

Absolutely, I do appreciate that the developers are so honest about the performance issues. That it is lslightly faster than half the speed is impressive when you consider the sheer scale difference contributors. And focusing on the users i

It has been said that England is a 3rd world country attached to London. That kind of dilemma will come out in odd ways like this.

Pretty much. The more they fear the blowback of the actions of civilisation, the more this in power try to hold any semblance of normality in place by force.

I love how Haiku feels like it has its feet in two places at once. That it is both in the year 2000 and 2040 at the same time. It does feel a lot more user ready than a lot of alternatives. Although I did find it funny that on their last re

It feels like the internal interest in Windows ARM comes in waves, that they keep letting it slide backwards. I mean they have been trying since Windows RT on the original surface tablet 13 years ago.

We certainly are in a predicament aren't we!? Now I am what you would consider a "Full Stallman" free software guy, but you can imagine my mixed feelings when I ended up being interviewed by Business Insider on why Microsoft

Microsoft has for the longest time been about business only. Any virtue signaling was just marketing. Years back they were gloating about how their AI systems (pre-LLM stuff) could allow for great oil production while at the same time talki

It is crazy how they managed the bungle the Xbox One launch at just the right time to cause this cascade of issues over a decade later. It doesn't help that MS haven't had a huge AAA exclusive title in a very long time. Now that t

Yep and that is part of why I don't use them either.

I don't think this is the last generation of Xbox hardware but they definitely are not going to push the next iteration hard. I suspect they will start to license out the OS and have a broad set of hardware specs to follow. Treat it li

Unfortunately for their timing, the Zune HD was them finally getting their idea of a music player spot on. It just happened to be 2 years after the release of iPhone.

Hey! I liked my Windows Phone. Original Xbox and the first half of Xbox 360 where also cool. End of list of good things however.

In terms of a carrier, maybe. For a lot of things, it is who you know not what you know and that is a big foot in the door. The only downside is that you have to sell out all morals and ethics.

I get the sentiment but I have to give it to DF, they have been taking the slow and steady route. That is a path to success in their field.

The more I think about it the more I find it kind of odd yet somewhat endearing that we have so much of our lives determined by the orbit of the planet. Not so much things that are actually affected by it like seasons and its impacts on eco

Can you imagine the argument for 8bit bytes if we still lived in the original 6bit world of the 1950s? A big part of the move to 8bit systems was that it allowed expanded text systems with letter casing, punctuation and various ASCII stuff.

As others have pointed out, it is a dye used in poisons to show it is there. To quote George Carlin "I am always thinking big questions like, Why is there no blue food?". This is also why most food handling gear in manufacturing i

It doesn't help that nowadays you can have an LLM dump out a rough draft in a few minutes. The pessimistic take is that "Publish or Perish" will be the epitaph of modern science. That authoritarian populists can use this as a

I suppose the idea that it is based more on feeling of what needs to be done than intellectual construction of the code. That is a drastic simplification because even with the 'vibe code' you still need to have some form of overvi

As a life long Melbournian, I absolutely loved how intensely Brisbane Bluey is. I know from the outside many see oz as the unified thing but the differences between cities can be drastic. Even between Hobart and Launceston in Tassie is sign

It is a good start of an idea but it kind of feels like it is just a search engine but you need to use more words to get the same result. The real magic could be once the various elements start interacting with each other. In having to use

I do like how things like CAPS would have been insanely difficult to do at that time simply due to the hardware limitations, not even going into the horrors of software on that era. And yet a decade or so later you could do similar stuff on

It feels like it is something that could show broad long term accuracy over say a decade but short term the noise level would make it difficult to extract a signal. Even then I would guess there would be a lot of other leading signals than

Ignoring the hyperbole of the title and that I cannot access most of the article, all I have to say is this. Mark, if that is the case, do it. I don't mean that in a mean spirit or as an accusation. Just that there is a lot of talk in

This is more a general statement, keep in mind it has been almost 25 years since I used ME. More it was at the mercy of the software industry of the time. Development of complex utilities from video editing to web browsers being more than j

I do really like that Apple is trying to bring some depth back into the desktop but they need to refine the Liquid glass look a lot. Unfortunately, this is becoming a common issue with Apple. Great ideas released a little under cooked. Like

You could argue that conceptually, Windows hasn't changed drastically since Windows 95. Yes, there are a lot of quality of life improvements but the start menu with task bar, drop down menus and three window controls at the top are bas

I have found that these "Is it up" sites to be only useful in the most extreme of outages. A site can be functionally dead but still responding to a requests, for instance a down stream CDN is out of action. Thus shows it is up wh
