If this does bypass their own (and others') anti-AI crawl measures, it'd basically mean that the only people who can't crawl are those without money. We're creating an internet that is becoming self-reinforcing for those

As someone clumsy, I'm so grateful that my MacBook Air can take a beating. It has one slight dent of about 1mm in the 4 years I've had it and I definitely drop it or knock it off a desk or something a few times a year. I'll t

For fascism, it's not always about getting something you think is a lot. It's about a power relationship. Trump has demonstrated that Nvidia will bow to his will. It's also potentially an implementation of the foot-in-the-doo

No. When you go into a Costco, Costco is a retailer who bought merchandise to sell to you. When you go to Amazon, a large amount of the products are being sold by third party vendors while Amazon is taking a large cut.

That doesn't seem to be the case across Europe based on current sales. Looking at marketshare in the EU+EFTA+UK 2025 to 2026: VW Group went from 26.8% to 26.7%. Stellantis went from 15.5% to 17.1%. Renault Group went from 9.8% to 8.7%.

I think the big thing keeping Blazor back is that C# doesn't work well with WASM. It was built at a time when JIT-optimized languages with a larger runtime were in-vogue. That's fine in a lot of cases, but it means that C# isn&#x2

I definitely agree with the first point - it's not meant to be the best. On the second part, I think the big thing was that they needed something that would interop with Objective-C well and that's not something that any language

It's not simply that developers expect to get their tools for free. So many developers have seen the rug-pulls and exploitation of non-free tools. Build on Oracle and your company will need to hire more lawyers than developers. Even in

Weird, doesn't work in Brave (macOS) for me. Did you enable a setting? Brave says it's up to date when I check.

I think that's the thing: Apple is good at very little, but they seem like they're good at "everything else" because they don't do much else. Lots of companies spread themselves really thin trying to get into lots o

Where does it say that it won't be white-labeled? Yes, Apple is acknowledging that Google's Gemini will be powering Siri and that is a big deal, but are they going to be acknowledging it in the product or is this just an acknowled

This is good, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Tailwind is out of the financial difficulty that we talked about yesterday. You can sponsor Tailwind for as little as $6,000/year. 29 companies were already sponsoring Tailwind in

Popularity can mean multiple things. Are we talking about how frequently a database is used or how frequently a database is chosen for new projects? MySQL will always be very popular because some very popular things use it like WordPress. I

They almost certainly plan to invest in the technology. One of the biggest threats to Nvidia is people developing AI-centric ASICs before they get there. Yes, Google has their TPUs and there are others around, but it's early on. In som

It’s better than most VPNs, but the amount of Cloudflare challenges I get is really annoying. It’s a little weird because Apple has device attestation which is run via Cloudflare and Fastly. You’d think that would get you around the challen

At this point? I remember when Microsoft Office truly felt like a monopoly. In the 90s, nothing could really read/write Microsoft formats reliably. People weren't using PDFs as much and teachers, jobs, etc. all expected you to be

That's the entire issue here: JS is a FOSS language and they don't like that Oracle owns the trademark.

Yes, and to put this in perspective: TSMC is valued around 8x higher than Intel at the moment. If Intel could become a major competitor to TSMC, I don't think they'd worry about Apple monopolizing leading edge nodes. If Intel beco

I don't think they're stocking these boxes. A lot of retailers let anyone list products on their website - just as Amazon allows third party sellers to list products. The one I found on BestBuy's website says "Sold &
