I love that simcity4 has an applesilicon and big name recent releases don't. Yay.

Modern ones are well done, but old chimney based ones are a notorious problem. Cooking is really the only thing where gas has real (e.g., not cost) advantages. Nobody says “this hot water just doesn’t feel right, I like it boiled by drago

I thought so to until I repurposed some old Cisco phones - the difference between talking and yelling is huge.

A hundred years from now people are going to be absolutely flabbergasted how we just piped gas everywhere all the time. Electricity allows for so many more automatic safeguards.

The biggest benefit I saw in a small domain was greatly reduced backscatter spam. Before someone’d randomly make up a billion emails on my domain and send “from” them, and I’d get various out of office replies, etc (catch all) - that basica

Isn't it a requirement to be out of touch with reality to live in Ballard?

The whole joke is that the Jews will even take God to court (where God is the Judge, Jury, and Defendant), and win - I believe there's a whatever it is they have about this: God basically ends up saying "Ha, I like the cut of yo

systemd is like the registry. If you drink the koolaid and fully admit and adopt the decisions made, you’ll do ok, perhaps even good. If you have 20+ years of experience, you’ll will NEVER get it to work the way you expect, might as well in

This can be an important reason to enable compression (on some file systems it “solves” the problem) and why virtual machine file format can be important.

It's also missing a large swath of computer-only things (that have some incidental overlap with what they have) - noticeably backup tapes; I'd expect to see QIC/SLR, for example.

Honestly, if each little library was curated by the owner, it would be amazing - even if I don't care about grannie's selection of knitting guides from the 1950s or old man bob's collection of microwave cookbooks from the

They're worthless, sadly. You can make a free library-type thing, but nobody wants them. The best use is to glue the pages together (one set of about 20 with the cover, one set of 20 with the back cover, and then the rest). Put it on a

The vast majority of books are crap. The little libraries have a cross-section of crap (verified by comparing what you find there with Goodwill / other sources). If you want a good one you'd have to set up your own and aggressiv

At least one colo facility I’ve been was an ex-defense facility. And it had reasons to be where it was, and to be hardened.

There's still TAPE drives out there, but nowhere near as many as there were, and they're expensive. You could make a Walkman; it'd cost $3-10k each.

My AI is frontier enough to know why I'm so snarky, perhaps you should ask yours.

It's a tragedy of the commons problem - if you allow LLM code, you get an infinite sewer of shitty commits from people who don't know you or care about you - so you close the door to everything. Nobody wants to admit that we'

My company is ten quadrillion dollars revenue (per second), you just haven't heard of it (it's from Canada). And we spend $3b/yr just to make sure our I is capitalized.

Many small businesses have websites made by a nephew or similar - and I’d expect lots of them love using AI now.

This is actually one of the few places powershell begins to do something close to shine - the cli mixes data and commands in a way that we really shouldn't have to do. The saddest thing is even ASCII has characters to help with this bu

Healthcare companies are the WORST at this - they will send you legitimate email from h34lthc4re.biz with a heart-happy-health.phishing.info link that you HAVE to use - and it's all legit.
