I would not have believed for a second if stores here in my location in the U.S. did not recently begin locking up gift cards in a cage. I thought the move was quite odd, until I remembered a story that I read (possibly here?) about specifi

Disclosure, I've not run a website since my health issues began, however, Cloudflare has an AI firewall, Cloudflare is super cheap (also: unsure if the AI firewall is on the free tier, however I would be surprised if it is not). Ignori

Respectfully, LLMs are nothing like a brain, and I discourage comparisons between the two, because beyond a complete difference in the way they operate, a brain can innovate, and as of this moment, an LLM cannot because it relies on previou

...and back in my day (yeah I am becoming an old fart), it was dead simple to cause a netsplit on most networks.

You definitely don't understand PDFs, let alone SVGs. PDFs can also contain scripts. Many applications have had issues rendering PDFs. Don't get me wrong, the folks creating the SVG standard should've used their heads. This i

I know hearing this gets old, however, please review sources outside of LLMs for accuracy. LLMs take a whole bunch off stuff from all over the internet and distill it down to something you can consume. Those sources include everything from

I definitely disagree here. What matters for mobile is power consumption. Capabilities can be pretty easily implemented...if you disagree, ask Apple. They have seemingly nailed it (with a few unrelated limitations). Mobile vendors insisting

Mobile is getting RT, fyi. Apple already has it (for a few generations, at least), I think Qualcomm does as well (I'm less familiar with their stuff, because they've been behind the game forever, however the last I've read, t

I think the big issue is that there is no 'next-gen API'. Microsoft has largely abandoned DirectX, Vulkan is restrictive as anything, Metal isn't changing much beyond matching DX/Vk, and NVIDIA/AMD/Apple/Q

Really? I've never had it fail. I simply ran the script provided by LE, it set everything up, and it renewed every time until I took the site down for unrelated (financial reasons). Out of curiousity, when did you last use LE? Did you

I built a CMS back in 2010 in Ruby on Rails (it powered a once popular site that I shut down for unrelated personal reasons). It originally used a thin layer of javascript along with a few buttons to wrap around some HTML. I later extended

I don't know where this whole "Apple is slowing down my device" comes from, but it is misguided at best, and outright false at worst. My decades old iPod Touch, for example, still works today without performance issues. My ol

Same. I have a wood cutting board and I always use hot water and dish soap to clean it after.

You are in the minority. Most folks that subscribe to VPNs are folks in the US, Canada, EU, and other "First World" countries. (I had a source a while back for something completely unrelated, however I didn't save it) I'

All the ones I use pick one for you, it is up for you to change it, and you play a fat rate per month or year regardless of what you pick.

For the same reason we don't reinvent the wheel. Or perhaps, the same reason we don't constantly change things like a vehicle. It works well, and introducing something new means a learning curve that 99% of folks won't want t

This was a dumb study, and if they'd asked the VPN providers, I'm sure someone would tell them why. All the VPN providers I've used let you select the endpoint from a dropdown menu. I'm not using a VPN to make it appear

Well, that was a wild read. I'm surprised it isn't getting more traction. So, full disclosure, I'm no longer a developer due to disabilities, including one that keep me from being able to write code, however: I love C# and .N

The non-technical folks don't understand the very real limitations, hallucinations, and security risks that LLMs introduce into workflows. Tech CEOs and leadership are shoving it down everyone's throats without understanding it. G

I've never had issues at all. I use their consumer offerings (iCloud, Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, etc.) and I've never personally witnessed an outage or problem. I regularly transfer stuff to iCloud from my PC running Li

I didn't even look at it, however, the comments are absolute gold. Well done to OP and others involved. It should be pinned on the front page. ;)

Agreed. Unity has a ton of features that even Godot lacks. (Unreal also has a ton of features they all lack). I know a lot of different languages and frameworks, from C/C++ up, so I say this: The language is never the issue. Language i

They used to not even need an email. You can use 3rd party apps/tools to get around this, FWIW. I use OpenHue on Linux. On iOS I've not had much luck finding a quality app, however a long time ago I did find a good one for Android

If your rant is about the USA: Are we really going to try to turn this into a war against the ADA? I counter: If students are requesting specific accommodations en-mass, maybe schools should rethink overall decisions. Maybe housing shouldn&

I've seen at least 3 (counting this), seemingly different sites on the first 2 pages of "new" advocating against OOP. What is even going on here? Spam? Something else? Previous articles: https://maldus512.medium.co
