I thought about this too. In no way do I suggest it's an actual solution, but I wonder if some kind of reporting could be used as leverage to help appease US leaders towards a solution that doesn't require banning the app or handi

I think it's still an important tool. Even though the tale isn't new, TikTok is a modern and popular way for those younger generations to share their opinions on debated topics. I think that's why banning the app has been vie

And there are some news about protests in other countries on the app, I've received some in my feed. I agree it's important to have a global understanding of events in the world. The focus on US instability in the US feeds make se

Counter-point: it's only "doom" if one configures it that way with their interaction. My FYP had a lot of positivity, pro-mental health, art, technology, and creativity type content on it. I actively filtered politics and oth

It's amazing that all three arms of the government can come together so quickly to ban an app, but we can't have affordable housing, public healthcare, a higher minimum wage, or send kids to school without bulletproof backpacks.

TikTok is used for far more than cat videos which is why it's a considered a threat to those in power. There are freely flowing ideas and narratives which they cannot control - except now they are by restricting access to it. Instagram

I don't buy it either. Entire generations are growing up without expectations of digital privacy. Our data leaks everywhere, all the time, intentionally and otherwise. I think it's more about the fact that users of platform are ab

It's about controlling the narrative. A broad group of US citizens use TikTok to discuss social inequality, class warfare, and other topics that would give people, individually and collectively, more power and US billionaires have no s

That's pretty slick. I recently upgraded my gaming PC and made my old rig headless so I could remote in and grab files/config. Did you uninstall any games or other large files before converting to .vhd to keep the image size down?

Yeah, I was concerned about that too. It looks like it has a small thin edge connector on the body of the Switch 2, sort of like a USB-C port but without the protective shield around it. If it's not designed well, we could see it snapp

Personal anecdote: I pushed some LLM generated code into Prod during a call with the client today. It was simple stuff, just a string manipulation function, about 10 LOC. Absolutely could have done it by hand but it was really cool to not h

It could have been the other way around, though. Engineers could have been faced with calls asking for a higher degree of integration and dependence on cloud servers for profit reasons (carefully sold as better UX), then developed it becaus

I'm grateful I was able to pick up one of these, it's a speedy chip indeed. This round of AMD vs Intel kind of reminds me of the battles for top performance in the 90s, each side trading blows with another 100MHz and a bit more ca

I think it's because GP mentioned "PoS software" which is often used by cashiers, but is not limited to cashiers. Anywhere a user might swipe or tap their credit card could be considered a PoS. As a related aside, I recently

There must be at least some minimal way scam listings are handled. I stumbled across an RTX 4090 going for $600 the other day (actual selling price is $1-2k), seller claiming to have 10+ of them with 90+ watchers/in cart, but no reputa

My oldest working systems are now a 386/DX40 and 486/DX2-66, but I never had a chance to run Linux on them back then. Did anybody here have a favorite distro for such early 90s hardware? When I find a 286 or earlier I'd love

Maybe it's a bad analogy, but this reminded me of how the "actors" in Sims 1 were implemented. Rather than having a massive Sim class that knows how to interact with every object, the Sims ask each object what it can do, and

I am a big fan of 86box for my retro PC hobby. Some neat things I've used it for: * Log virtual POST codes to a text file for a physical motherboard I'm troubleshooting to see where it's hanging up * Install an old OS to a .i

I remember playing around with Print Shop Deluxe on my parent's PC in the early 90s. I don't recall the hardware, but it may have been either an XT clone or a 286/386. I was too young to remember what it was. We had a dot mat
