I guess I'm old and haven't paid much attention recently, but $375 for 32Gb doesn't sound that bad to me. But then again I remember spending hundreds of dollars as a high school student to upgrade my family's 8Mb desktop

I'm surprised you can't believe it. Most companies large enough to have their own IT have monitoring and know what's going through their network. The larger the company, the more likely they're watching. I've pers

Other than adding buzzwords to a features list, I don't see AI really moving the needle here. As you've said, it's always been the expectation that employers are watching over their networks. There's already loads of mo

>What would be a better way to incorporate AI as a spell checker? You just don't need AI to do spell checking. It's a waste of energy, bandwidth and tokens. It's like Java Enterprise Fizz-Buzz - 1000x more complicated th

Annoying, but not surprising. The future is using AI to do everything, and nobody gets funded saying they're taking a small step forward.

Could have been something else then, but (in the past, at least) they would definitely reset some of the settings on every major upgrade.

There are actually multiple implementation of networking over ham radio (though not using teletext). Some of the limitations are that ham radio requires getting a license (it's easy, but it's a little bit of work and turns some pe

It's been a while since I dumped OSX and went back to Linux, but IIRC, this setting gets reset every time the system updates. At some point Apple realized the "power user" market was too small, and they were better off treati

If an AI focused tech company like Facebook can't use AI properly, I can only imagine the shit show we're going to witness as more companies start rolling it out.

Agreed. I'm trying to buy a laptop right now (Lenovo's checkout refuses to take my card?!?), and I would try one of these if it could run Debian. Will never buy one if it's Windows only, though.

To be fair, "since Obama" isn't very long ago, and Hillary and Biden weren't very inspiring candidates, to say the least.

No. 50% of them are the product of 2 and a 63-bit integer.

It probably worked fine until today, and will be back to working fine in a few days.

This is good to know. If they roll it out it like their other "features", it's going to reserve the tickets for you even if you don't want them. Or they're going to put it as a drop down from the "Repeat"

I don't know what you're trying to say with "making that happen for Linux" and "that isn't Apple's job". I didn't imply anybody needed to do anything. The point I was making is that I like Appl

It's sad that the M5 Apple chips don't support Linux better. I'm in the market for a laptop, and I'd buy a MBP in a heartbeat if I could wipe it and put Debian on it. My 2013 MBP was going strong with Debian until the b

At the end of the day it's unsustainable consumption of resources and increasing generation of waste that's killing the planet. Even if the 4000 billionaires are ruling society, they're destroying the planet with the help o

It's easier to blame climate change on a conspiracy theory around billionaires then it is to stop driving so much and reduce consumption.

This is the second time I've heard of where a slightly well known person has been killed off by AI. The other was a reporter covering the Denver Broncos: https://www.denverpost.com/2026/01/15/broncos-repo

I don't know. Bjarne's has been saying for 40 years that C++ will eventually have opt-in garbage collectors written for it, but after all this time I don't think one exists yet unless you count C++/CLI. For example, the

Get back to us when you've used OpenSCAD to design and build something like an airplane.

I don't agree. When the senators walk into the cafeteria talking about the bill they're about to pass, the cafeteria worker can easily overhear their insider information. Avoiding insider trading on prediction markets seems like

You can view it however you want, but reality disagrees with you. Palantir's profit comes from real customers paying real money for their real products. And it's hilarious that you would compare Palantir to a crypto pump-and-dump

For anybody wondering, the reason not to do a single ultra-long exposures is noise. There's an equilibrium between exposure duration, aperture, and ISO that gives the best results for the conditions with a minimum amount of sensor no

Perhaps. But they made $1.6 billion in net income in 2025, which, from a business perspective, makes them about $10.6 billion more competent than OpenAI.
