Surprisingly, I immediately noticed that “Gaming Copilot” is missing (i.e. The version of Copilot that Microsoft shoehorned into the Xbox mobile app).

It has always amazed me that the US is so unusually rich in a variety of natural resources.

This article describes how to convert from the sRGB color space, not RGB. sRGB like L a b* is device independent so a transformation between the two is possible. RGB on the other hand is device dependent, and would therefore require a devic

I agree. The market is flawed because there isn’t a guaranteed entropy. Because of this, the prediction market will remain niche.

In 2023, the Australian government announced a direct pathway to citizenship for New Zealander citizens who live in Australia for four years. I think that’s a pretty big incentive to move from New Zealand to Australia.

Doesn’t gas generators set the market price 98% of the time in the UK? They need to fix their market pricing mechanism before the public benefit from cheaper renewable energy sources.

It wasn’t that long ago, for reference the original Xbox was made in the USA. https://youtu.be/YeQrQYFVlXA Edit: This is factually incorrect. Apologies.

I’m my experience, unwavering Windows folk are simply power users who find *nix shells burdensome.

Perhaps Microsoft plans to bundle Windows into its "Microsoft 365" subscription for the consumer market.

How is YouTube going to deal with all the storage of these videos?

I think this game is closer to the Mario Party mini games than Jackbox, in terms of pacing.

These games ran so well on IBM XT computers. Honestly, seeing these games made me realise PC’s could be used for gaming. Carmack was a genius.

I’m fairly certain that Sony TV’s ask you where you want to use it as a Smart TV or a Dumb TV when setting it up.

From what I’ve seen is most organisations have moved to Amazon Corretto, and stuck with it. It’s TCK-certified, supported by Amazon, and completely free. So I don’t see the need to use any other distribution, unless it is for a niche requir

I wonder if this is why Xbox Series X never achieved a noticeable performance advantage over PlayStation 5, despite having more capable hardware.

The PS4 lineup pales in comparison to the PS3 lineup, which pales in comparison to the PS2 lineup, which pales in comparison to the PS1 lineup. Each generation has around half the number of games as the previous. This does get a bit murky w

The US can’t. This has long been solved in other countries, to varying degrees.

Australia has long had fires. Fires are an integral part of Australia’s historic natural environment. So much so, that Eucalyptus trees evolved to become a fire dependent species that benefits from regular burning. This is why they are so d

Unfortunately you can’t use the ‘big knob’ without looking at the screen, which is entirely self defeating.

An LLM-based Siri is expected in early 2026. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/13/apple-smart-home-hub-20... I wonder if this new Siri would be limited to Pro devices. It would be strange for Apple to release

We don't see these attacks nearly as severe or frequent on Maven, which is a much older package management solution. Maven users would be far more attractive targets given corporates extensively run Java.

Even so. It has amazing backwards compatibility and package management.

Is it just me, but doesn’t it seem like a terrible idea to bake the COPILOT trademark into the name of an Excel function? It could allow Microsoft to threaten to use trademark law against competitors who support the Excel file format. It wo

Broadcom just want to milk corporates. That is their business model. I’m sure they will commercialise the Spring framework and force fragmentation. Not unlike what happened to Java and Docker.

They sort of are. I think the confusion arises because the IBM PC ASCII (code page 437) included comprehensive box-drawing characters between hexidecimal character positions B3 and DA. These weren't adopted into Unicode in the same cha
