Unless Foundation always uses the current generation CPU, then this complaint is always valid. Or maybe invalid. Thermals and energy consumption are almost always improving between generations. It's hard for me to think of 13th generat

I couldn't find an easy answer on the wiki or site, but I am using my phone instead of a desktop. Do users still need to obtain (an obviously legal, Nintendo approved) ROM of classic OOT to use the randomizer?

The Luddites were not opposed to technology and change. The movement opposed the owning/ruling class's ability to buy and consolidate more labor as technology improved. The Luddite movement would have embraced technology if it ben

The given examples are clearly not marketing emails. As a previous customer, a change to current privacy policy is still relevant. Yeah CF still carries some annoying startup energy and it's fine to hate them, but this didn't move

Here's a skeptical write-up about the mailers I was referencing. I like this view because it acknowledges human fallacies. For example, that an untargeted ad could feel targeted or that we may exaggerate the amount of ads that feel tar

It's an established strategy to serve you irrelevant ads. When the targeting gets too specific, the people start to notice and panic. Target is a fun example - they had cases where they revealed pregnancies through targeted ads. Now, t

Maybe a false dichotomy. For ex, modern transportation could have been in service to sustainable agricultural models, providing resiliency between communities.

In my experience, it's the functional part, not immutability, where they fall short. Any LLM can write immutable C# because it's easy and there's incredible amounts of training data.

You'd be surprised if less-than 99% of Firefox users didn't switch to Chrome to stream television? Am I understanding?

They "caved" because it's a browser for humans and lots of humans stream TV. I don't miss the daily "how can I watch Netflix on Ubuntu?" posts in different communities. Users can disable Widevine in FF.
