Most people don't really care all that much about the distinction. It comes across to them as linguistic pedantry and they downvote it to show they don't want to hear/read it.

Could very well be his intention. Justifies killing it without admitting to it as a failure of Intel, instead it's a product without a buyer. No reason to keep it.

Ladybird couldn't have come around at a better time. I feel it's a much better candidate to fill the shoes Mozilla was intended to (but squandered).

If this can run Doom it will become my go to example for "Doom runs on everything".

Kagi got me to sign up as an early adopter because it let me banish pinterest forever.

You're fine. As one of those "rednecks" my problem wasn't with what you were saying, it's obvious it wasn't malicious in intent. The person who replied to you with their accusations of racism (??) was clout-see

Instead of getting offended on behalf of others, why not just ask one of those rednecks how they actually feel? Seems kind of like you are being inflammatory under the guise of concern.

The prices will continue to increase so long as buyers keep paying for them. In a car-centric country like the US, the demand isn't as elastic as it is elsewhere. People could buy more cost-effective vehicles, but they don't for a

I have my doubts about the polymarket demo. We know the model searched the web, but they didn't show the comparison between the PM score and what the model came up with. How do we know it didn't just pull the PM odds?

I've been slowing working on a hobby project to 3D print a lookalike Sony PVM with a computer inside. There is a joy in knowing exactly how something works, and to be able to fix it intuitively.

Intel still feels the sting of Apple dumping them as a partner, and it shows here.

An increasing number of drones being used aren't the shitty consumer ones either. They are still relatively cheap, but their guidance systems and payloads are improving dramatically compared to the start of the war. Saturation attacks

As someone working in the mental health field, friends constantly ask me "Do I have this?" because someone on TikTok or Insta has intentionally lied or provided misinformation about an illness to further their agenda. Sometimes th

Asimov had a penchant for predicting the future, and it's been fascinating seeing aspects of his vision in "I, Robot" come to pass.

I went about it the opposite way. I started out in the IT field, then I got into mental health about ten years into my career. Now I'm back in college and doing both. There is a huge untapped overlap between mental health and good data

This is going to go over about as well as their Azure AD to Entra rebrand.

It's a shame we never got to see the fruits of TRON. Imagine how the world may have ended up if Windows had a solid competitor in Asia. I've been told you can still find TRON terminals in Japan.

Hugo has been wonderful for me. I use it to host my portfolio website. Only thing I dislike is themes can be a pain to edit if you don’t know where things are spread out in the source.

Encoded media either comes out blocky, with artifacts, or plain old slow. Some also have bugs related to the encoder that app developers have to contend with.

Consolidation of control and brand recognition. As soon as Redis revealed their hostile intentions, forks split off. Valkey seems to be the favored one, and in my direct experience is what projects are using moving forward. If we don't

The issues of range anxiety and cost are alleviated largely by hybrids. I imagine the transition will be a slow shift from petrol -> hybrid -> PHEV-> BEV. We could use it as an opportunity to build out infra to support electric veh

You can consider the beta-amyloid fiasco as a prime example of biomed's replication issues. ML/AL replication issues largely stem from the source data used for training not being available. In my field, of psychotherapy, social an

A big driver for the high salaries of medical doctors in the U.S. is the staggering educational debt their degrees leave them with. Is it the same in Sweden? Some degree of wage depression is practically inevitable if we had more doctors, b

You can also use resource forks to change an app bundle's icon without affecting the code signature of the bundle. I used this technique for a PoC malware challenge at BSides Orlando two years back.

Everyone’s going to have their use case, but I have probably used the power button on my mini all of a dozen times in two years. Two of those being after I uninstalled Asahi and nuked the boot loader by accident.

Seems to me like it was low-hanging fruit that Apple (no pun intended) finally decided to pick. I imagine dropping to a BFU state will help curb possible brute force or physical access attacks. The relative security/ongoing improvement

It might come even sooner as mobile internet becomes faster and gets lower in latency. I used to have Cox, and the service availability was so bad it was nigh unusable. Switched to TMobile home 5g and in some cases, it's actually faste

Unfortunately for them, the degree to which one thinks they are right has no bearing on actually being right. This will go down as yet another unforced blunder an American car maker brought upon themselves.

The problem is that Whisky is not for the casual user. I used it and found it confusing at first. Imagine your average gamer, they'd never get past dragging in the app. The Steam Deck (and Proton) have been so successful because you ca

I have a bet going that their next Steam Deck is going to have an ARM processor. Allegedly NVidia is working on a WoA SoC, now that Qualcomm's contract with MS has ended. If NVidia puts their recent capital gains into a performant ARM
