What if Copilot was already trained with Minecraft code in the dataset? Should be possible to test by telling the model to continue a snippet from the leaked code, the same way a news website proved their articles were used for training.

There's a difference between Apple's mobile devices which are an actual walled garden, and Mac OS which (begrudgingly) still lets you install and run pretty much anything. It has a nice terminal, no driver issues, and is not nearl

How can you know that a dependency you trust won't be hacked? At best it slightly reduces the risk, but it's not even close to the effectiveness of version cooldowns that just block 100% of fresh updates.

If Gnome made their screenshot feature an app then it would be possible to just use it on any other desktop too, as is usually a strength of Linux. And it would then also be possible to add it to Gnome's dock, which wasn't doable

It's rare to see a perfectly stable desktop UI in general. Even on my Mac and iPhone minor bugs are almost a daily occurrence. But KDE especially is a combination of huge scope and limited resources, whenever I used it there was always

Update: it's starting to look like CPU C-states were the problem.

Did you actually try Arch? I ran it for three years on a laptop and it was more reliable with fewer issues than most stable distros I used.

I hope they added (or will add) that feature to other Macs too, on mine I had to try out different ports and check the settings to find the one which can go beyond 60Hz.

As someone who used an M1 with 8GB and has hundreds of browser tabs I can assure you it is not enough and you'll have to restart the browser at least a few times per week to not make the whole system lag. 16GB is fine though, and makes

I have an M1 with 8GB and M2 with 16GB, and they are not comparable. I once ran the M2 smoothly for over 250 days without reboot with a bunch of applications open the whole time (at some point it just force-rebooted, fair enough). On the ot

In my case it doesn't seem to be related to system load. I have an issue where (mainly) using FF can trigger random system freezes on Linux, often with the browser going down first. But running CPU/memory stress tests, compiling t

I avoid that tradeoff by using Linux. It updates when I tell it to and inbetween it's nice and quiet. At time when I have to use Windows for a bit it is genuinely a shocking contrast with how little respect both the OS and applications

When did rock music, video games or porn tell their audience to kill themselves in a personalized way to a point people actually did it, and in a way that directly links to those media?

I would first check the iPad + keyboard is actually lighter than the Macbook Air. As far as I know the keyboard weighs quite a bit, though coincidentally Apple's website doesn't specify the weight.

From what I've seen people have mostly been asking for Mac OS features on the iPad, not phone apps on the Mac. The increased compatibility is great and kind of obvious given the switch to ARM, but if it went both ways then the M4 chip

My screen is 4k and it looks as sharp as it gets with the 1080p scaling. As far as I understand it only gets blurry when using the 1440p setting as that changes the render resolution to 5k which doesn't scale cleanly to a 4k screen. Wh
