Why not just ditch the "windows" part entirely, and work on an OS that's not designed for the purpose of exploiting you as a user?

I'm highly LLM/AI skeptical. But an image analysis application like this is exactly what the tech is good at. I also highly agree with the skeptisism regarding the companies selling the products. I would want this used along with

The article isn't conclusive, but I read this as meaning they were keeping the companies open long enough to issue firmware updates, that make the cars viable in offline mode.

Like in the above comment, this isn't specifically an EV problem. All modern cars have this failure. I just bought a used 2023 Nissan Leaf. It's the last model year of the original design, and has many tactile mechanical button, n

Interesting data, but not the most interesting. I'd much more like to see total deaths by car model. In many (but far from all) driver death crashes, the driver was at fault. But pedstrians, occupants of other cars, and occupants of cr

I believe the overwhelming popularity of ubuntu derives from it's similarities to windows, and therefore adoption by windows refugees. A non-technical aspect of this is the widespread epidemic of windows brain damage: that is the usual

I'm not sure why s/w eng9ineers in North Korea are such an issue. Unless you're working on some national security s/w, or finding that backdoors are being installed in your source, why not let North Korean engineers work

My guess would be that most people working in their 70s (or 80s!) would very much like to retire, but can't. I'm 65 and wish I could have retired 10 years ago. After 40 years in industry I'd really rather be doing something e

It is nice to see millennials re-discovering how pretty much everything was done before the explosion of the internet in the mid-90s. Historically, what this article describes, was simply called "finding somewhere to live". There

Title is completely misleading. There was no ethics breach in sourcing the original Lena photo. It should also be made explicit here, that for decades Lena herself had no issue with the photo or it's use in CS. Other people began to co

I'm not doubting the employment issues in China, but the examples cited in the article seem like pretty weak evidence. More like two individuals who were victims of fraud/exploitation. I have to doubt this would have ever been pub
