oh, you mean things like the ESP8266, which costs mere dollars and can definitely can already decode and play MP3s? 40 lines of code to play MP3s on an ESP32 as well.

the only time I ever had issues playing MP3s was on an old overclocked 486

hey Microsoft, IBM called. They have this tech called "Watson" you might have heard of. Trained on tons of medical literature, even showed up on Jeopardy! a couple times. I can't imagine this turning out any different, though

Imagine spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on infrastructure to serve out content that isn't even yours to begin with, and then wonder why there's such a blowback in its usage

If only Stable Diffusion wasn't already populated with a host of copyrighted images already. Make your own art, dammit. This is the equivalent running some Photoshop filters through someone else's work.

no, you were both wrong. rip the discs to an external drive and play it over your local network. or even better, over the internet with plex/emby/jellyfin. how are these articles getting up voted? what boomers are reading HN on a

LUKS isn't rocket science, you're looking at the wrong guides. using the TPM to encrypt a partition is a few commands on the shell.

there's no money to be made in interoperability. did you RTFM? they clearly state they are not getting support on the core services while third parties just build out bridges where they see it beneficial to them.

they should be competing with Waze, not Google maps. Waze does all the things you want a mapping app to do, either by flagging traffic events or cops, marking roads under construction, or just having a pleasant UI. I'm aware Waze and M

emacs exists at this point only to generate hacker news articles, nobody actually uses it to edit text files
