Since Youtube started to show me funny "TURN OFF THE ADBLOCKER!!!" notices, I just started slamming links in yt-dlp and watching them offline. No drawbacks so far.

The planes were relocated and loaded with fuel and munitions for a massive raid which would've have happen that morning. They were able to hit fuel tanks specifically as they had few museum pieces to train on for the whole year.

At this point we can fully replace talking heads with AI. Let them generate reports, write fake citations, review each other’s work, sign it, worship it – all in imitation of what we once called a state. A huge win for humanity.

Lawmakers and enforcers anywhere have no ethics. If you want them not to do things that harm the public (passing corrupt laws, selectively enforcing rules, ignoring corporate crimes, etc.), the only way to stop it is to have strict accounta

Calling cinema a "new form" of theatre is quite a simplification. It was certainly inspired by theatre, but the two differ in almost every aspect: medium, communication language, cultural role, and audience dynamics. Most people t

This raises another interesting question to think about: if everyone has (1) low-cost access to build anything, and (2) low-cost access to learn how to build anything at the same time... ...what do you think a human would choose the most?

If your focus is to solve the problem, then it makes sense to treat the process as secondary. The tools are just means to an end. This view also aligns with how generative AI is marketed – it's a way to accelerate realization, not a wa

You didn't really mention any real feature besides Visual Basic, which clearly has alternatives in other spreadsheet apps. You have to run your VBA through converter script, and the fix incompatibilities in your macros but again, for a

So the Visual Basic (lol) macros seem to be the only real thing retaining all the people on Excel, interesting...

Can you give me an example of such advanced features? I really don't understand what outstanding feature did they pack in this "Excel" which has no alternative? If the only problem is migrating from XLSX to some other format

SMS 2FA was only invented so govt. can access all of your accounts without having to know your password. Check your service password reset flow – is it a phone number input? It was 1FA all along.
