Having worked in food service, I learned that restaurants are low-margin businesses that will cut every corner they can. Paying to have their grease taken care of when there's a convenient drain out back is a non-starter. It wouldn&#x2

I did this years ago with a site whose name I can't recall. I still use the results for certain things, but it's certainly not a font you can use for everything.

This is fine, though somewhat belated. But it does nothing to deal with the public's growing distrust of science in general, and medical science in particular.

I was wondering this, too. There's no mention of OS support, but I assume Intel is working with the usual suspects on it.

There's a really small form-factor Mac clone based on the pico-mac on a Pi RP2040. Only available in kit form after Apple complained. https://blog.1bitrainbow.com/pico-mac-nano/

Isn't this the same sort of thing that the Nazi's did?

This sounds like one of those laws that get used not so much to force compliance, but to punish noncompliance as part of a larger case.

I would use something like this. My wife most certainly would not, which would defeat the whole purpose.

Isn't this the sort of thing editors are supposed to catch before publication? It's good that they retracted the article and apologized to the person who was falsely quoted, but it still managed to appear before someone caught i

I've got an M2 Ultra with 64 GB, and I've been using gpt-oss-20b lately with good results. Performance and RAM usage have been reasonable for what I've been doing. I've been thinking of trying the newer Qwen 3 Coder Next

Kibo, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. The days of Usenet, uucp, and Telebit Trailblazers seem as long ago as the telegraph now.

The 555 figured prominently in a digital circuits course I took back in the mid-80s. It was into its second decade of existence by that point, and it's still going strong.

I've been using LM Studio for a while, this is a nice update. For what I need, running a local model is more than adequate. As long as you have sufficient RAM, of course.

Mail search is a joke. HoudahSpot was the best way to search your mail right up until Apple made that stop working.

Windows 7 was the last really good Windows. MS lost sight of the goal after that.

This is great. It created a link to my personal site that Firefox blocked me from going to.

As a long-time Firefox user, I don't want them to have an "AI strategy", I want them to have a browser improvement strategy.

I can't help but feel the world Kelly is talking about here is long gone, and the quality of "miracles" has declined significantly. Or maybe I'm just old.

There's always room for a tool that does most of the things that people need to do, alongside far more complicated tools that do that plus a whole lot more. If all you want to do is maybe make some text bold or italic or have a bullet

Sadly, all that matters is it's free of any "DEI" connotations.

My current dumb TV is working just fine, but I shudder to think what will happen when it needs replacing. I'm hoping for sufficient consumer backlash to convince manufacturers that simpler TVs are worth making again.

I remember going to the Horn & Hardart Automat when I was a kid. It was so cool and futuristic being able to choose something, putting in a coin, and getting it immediately. It made it easy to overlook it was basically just standard caf

Interestingly enough, Kagi has a new browser, Orion, that's also WebKit-based. Besides the obvious macOS, it's in Alpha for Linux and "in development" for Windows. May the best non-Chromium browser win! https:/&#x2

I asked a somewhat niche question once. The single answer made it clear that the answerer had not read the question. At least my question wasn't immediately closed, I guess. I totally understand why people are seeking alternatives.

Ten years? I've been doing it for over twenty. Readership is something you have to chase, and if that's what you want, that's fine. But for some people, like me, it's the writing that's important.
