It’s an online-only local news site/blog for Worcester, MA. Seemingly all stories are credited to two writers. There is literally no information about the site, who runs it, the writers etc. There are no named sources in the story. It

One difference is that in the UK/US it has in practice only applied during actual war time. I remember the instant switch in tone of reporting from the BBC the moment war broke out in 2003. And I have never seen it apply to individuals

He is based in Beijing according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiang_Xueqin . That matters. China would not allow him to broadcast things they do not approve of.

I agree. This 3m49s "Hello, MacBook Neo" video is so insanely well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3SIKAmPXY4 I love how they have gone back to actually showing off the stuff they are proud of. This is the

"Fast user switching" has been a feature since OS X 10.5 Leopard. It kind of requires an instructional video though. Here's an early one I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJKRgs2IUg4&t=7s ("18

Windows 11 was built without agentic slop. That's a deduction from the timing of its gestation. Windows 10 was released in January of 2015. Windows 11 was released in October of 2021. So this software disaster is entirely human-made. I

Every time I see something specific like this I wonder if there was something very similar and specific happening in Berlin ~90-93 years ago. I've tried reviewing online archives of German books/newspapers but it's obviously

Cisco did this in 1999. That's how my smallish apartment building in Sweden ended up with a kick-ass Cisco 10 Gbps switch in its basement a year later - when these cost real money. I think the HOA still only pays like $10/month&#x

HTML/HTTP/URL (1993-ish) was a massive win over Gopher. It later turned bad with way too much complexity introduced in a symbiosis between Google and a relatively small group of prolific key web standards people. It was a variatio

Panasonic consumer electronics products always had the best UX - talking 80s through early 00s products here. Visual feedback (when available) was always immediate. Button schemes etc were well designed.

My mom (in her 80s) used to ask me "what do you think comes after the internet?". It seemed nonsensical, but here we are. From her perspective: 1. Radio 2. TV 3. Internet 4. ?
