Wait! I think most people missed your "touched by Copilot" disclaimer. Over on twitter, someone from MS said that Copilot can modify PRs simply because they were mentioned? I've been using GitHub since it was new and heavily

Claude is absolutely in love with github actions. It's pretty much the worst CI system I've ever used, and they don't even supply runners for all my deployment targets. However, it keeps recommending it. I guessed the first

Maybe because Google "does not sell" personal information, yet almost all their revenue comes from personal information?

The other problem is that the device or company might decide not to attest for you. For instance, the employee at Apple that decided to pull ICE Block from the store could decide that the "admissible in court" bit should be false

With any luck, local models will be too (soon).

The problem I have with this is that I was using a 1600x1200 21" display in 2000, and got used to workflows for it back then. I am currently running a 16" display at a similar fractional scaled resolution (because Apple stopped un

Note that fullscreen breaks command tab. Create two safari windows (or FF, Chrome, doesn't matter - except that Apple shipped safari, so we'd expect that to be able to render a window to the screen correctly). Full screen one. S

OLED is fundamentally not sample and hold, because it is using PWM, right? Ignoring switching costs, keeping a sample-and-hold LED at 0%, 50% and 100% brightness all cost zero energy. For an OLED, the costs are closer to linear in the duty

You don't need VRR for this, but there are some step functions of usefulness: 24Hz - now you can correctly play movies. 30Hz - NTSC (deinterlaced) including TV shows + video game emulators. 50Hz - (24 * 2 = 50 in Hollywood. Go look it

I wouldn't get a mini LED laptop for creative work. We have a mini LED TV, and manufacturers need to choose one of these two problems because of physical limitations: - The LEDs for a mostly dark region with a point source are too bri

What's the real-world battery life though? My mac gets 8 hours real world; 16 in benchmarks; 24 claimed by apple. Assuming the xps has the same size battery, and this really reduces power consumption by 48%, I'd expect 16 hours r

It isn't for any reasonable UI stack. For instance, the xdamage X11 extension for this was released over 20 years ago. I doubt it was the first.

This is an OLED display, so I don't think the control electronics are actually any less active. (They would be for LCD, which is where most of these low-refresh-rate optimizations make sense.) The connection between the GPU and the di

This sort of crap keeps getting upstreamed into Debian. Consider devuan for your next machine. I've switched almost all my linux boxes to it, and it's great.

This comment is particularly concerning (as is the functionality regression implied by this new "more secure" approach): > This means for example, that an encrypted system must use an ext4 /boot partition; it is no longer

DHS was created after 9/11. Most car rental places won't rent to people under the age of 25. There's maybe a few month period between the birth day cutoff and the founding of the DHS.

None of those organizations do anything to help regular people. They're all just creeping tentacles of fascism. (Most of them either didn't exist in the 1990s, or are unrecognizable now.) If they were defunded, we could spend th

If the US had this, Trump would definitely be using it right now to send ICE to arrest people that said mean things about him on social media, didn't drop out of college, didn't bribe him enough, etc.

It's not really bigger than Apple. They could just say "no", and the UK could just go offline until they fixed their laws.

Downvotes are probably because that is what companies without chronic outages do. If you'd ever worked on a codebase as terrible as I imagine GH's internals are and looked at the git history, you'd find two things: 1) fixin
