This is due to a loss of locality of culture. Artists get casted nowadays because the cultural institutions and scenes they grow out of are running dry. And I don't mean they lack talent, they lack the audience and they lack the infras

They called it a Home Cable Computer and the connection via your TV cable was used for the operating system and software distribution. The device utterly failed. This is an unboxing and disassembly video with a little bit of history about t

If you take a closer subjective inspection of the corrected palette you will notice that the luminance adjustments makes typical day colors bright and typical night colors dark. It looks like day and night adjusted now. Due to the color dif

Incognito mode is a lie. You will see different results based on your IP. At best it's random, or rather some fallback information that is still curated by algorithms. Also who uses incognito mode? A common sense of what happens in the

What happened to me? All the big social media sites send me to an information prison. It makes using the internet not fun anymore if you can't break out of your information bubble to get a different perspective! There's no "c

Yeah, I've cancelled all my subscriptions on YouTube and use a browser extension that hides recommendations and ads. I follow a lot of channels and there comes a point where I had to do something since I was missing videos constantly.

That's a valid objection. The question is whether preventing theft is a) a higher priority than let's say reducing prices and preventing electronic waste and b) whether prominance of smartphone theft hinges on the repairability of

They are going to China and betting on Xi to keep the country in control. Good riddance, BASF.

Even if that state has nukes?

Yup, I think that's the real worry of CCP officials and other world leaders, that not only will China lose face, lose influence, but also the world will demand reperation. That might cause a collapse of the already unstable Chinese sys

I'm pretty sure the way they did science in the 24th century of a fictional TV show is slightly different from how it's done in reality.

Or rather: you have many hyenas without fur, and on the skin you can see scars that suggest the skin has been cut at very specific places, places where you'd normally see operation scars. Now all the discussion has come down to is how

But the actual question is not how likely it is of those naturally occuring mutations (which also happen to be exactly like the commercial ones used for cutting genomes) to occur at the exact positions you would expect them to be in enginee

I think the way in which we prevent lab made viruses to break free is fundamentally different from how prevention of a spill over would need to be done. Because it causes problems at the exact opposite ends of the chain of events. The first

Just because there are more modern techniques doesn't mean there haven't been older ones used, or techniques used incorrectly.

Combine this with something like metaverse. You have your VR goggles on and then you start talking and the computer creates a virtual world based on what you're saying. Wouldn't that be magical?

Tricking competition like that is really a zero sum game when it comes to mental health. I don't recommend doing that at all. You don't want to be in an environment like that even if you've contributed to its existence, you&#

An old wise man once said: For some problems like getting screwed over by people there is no absolute technical solution.

I think that issue is overblown. There certainly are tools availble to make decentralized storage much more reliable than they usually are. All OSes come with solutions to those problems, we just have to make people use them. But there&#x27
