Like the whole initial excuse for the tariffs on imports from Canada "because of fentanyl" despite <1% of fentanyl coming into the US arriving via the Canadian border https://www.npr.org/2025/02/02&#x2

I don't feel like "feud" is the right word to use. Only one party is engaging in hostilities.

The interviewee is described as "Purism's founder", who even says "we took our own electronics engineers (EEs)", implying (though not explicitly stating) he doesn't include himself in that category.

On iOS, if you go into Settings -> General -> Legal & Regulatory , and scroll all the way down to the very bottom, you will see: "Made in China" :)

I remember a fully 3d game from quite a bit earlier than then! Spectre for Macintosh, from 1991: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(1991_video_game) , and some gameplay at https://www.youtube.com/

Linux Mint is quite good, I've got it on a few machines. So far it's the most stable, easily-updatable and "gets out of the way" Linux distro I've used in years.

Ah yeah I saw that video before, so bad. If I saw someone belaying like that I'd immediately call them out and tell them to hold the brake strand. Lucky this was even caught on video to prove what the error was. It's disturbing

Shouldn't matter, they should be expecting you to fall at any moment, as that's what happens when climbing If it's a planned descent, usually you say "take" or similar to have the belayer hold the rope securely and

It might work the first time, but as someone commented elsewhere, people will come back, with the means to defeat/counter it by some means or another. It's pretty stupid to escalate peaceful protest like this, unless you want t

Dunno, ask Tesla owners how they're feeling about driving their vehicle and parking it, lately. On that note, ask Musk how he feels about the trending direction of his stock value. The highly visible gimmick of swastikas spraypainted

It is a common pattern on the web indeed, and it's called "event delegation" if you want to search more about it! As others said, allows binding an event handler once, so it can just sit there and wait to be triggered regard

Hmmm, I wonder if there are similar tricks for newer hard drives. I have a 2010 iMac that has a seized or "otherwise non-booting" hard drive, just randomly wouldn't boot one day. I can only guess there is a mechanical probl

Yeah, I have two of the G4's and while they are really nice, I'd love a PowerMac G3 sometime. I have G5's as well, and again they are cool, but not in the way the G3 was -- just so striking and IMO creativity-inspiring.

If I could choose only one computer design to have for the rest of my life, it would be this one. So cool. I hope jcs sold the spare parts or is otherwise hanging onto them for future use/donation/sale (rather than scrapping the

The one depicted in the first photo is from ~1984, which might explain the relative chonkiness of it (all computer hardware back then was pretty thicc). Unless you mean some newer model that isn't shown in the post?

by amatecha 2y ago
Well, those wild/creative designs WERE the "practical work tools". Check out the PowerMac G3, this thing looks totally colourful and silly but this was the most powerful machine Apple made at the time: https://ww

Yeah in Canada it looks like about 28% of homes had a personal computer in 1995, according to Stats Canada: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/56f0004m/2005012/c-g/c1-...

There's definitely some truth to that. Consider the demoscene, where wildly creative stuff is typical made under certain limitations. For example, demos where the executable + resources is only 64kb [0] or 4kb [1] are often full of s

I know what you mean, but I'm also specifically calling out the "percentage of homes with computers" and their respective technical literacy. My friends and I, as kids, knew "everything" about computers and how to o

Yeah, I know someone who works in a high school and the average skill level is "struggles to figure out how to save a document on a USB stick". Kids know how to press the power button on an Xbox or tap an icon on their iPhone. T

There is an upside (if you trust them) -- they're pulling a feature rather than adding a back door to it. Supposedly, anyway.
