Yeah I just imaged the win11 installer to a usb stick a few days ago using Rufus and was surprised to discover the checkboxes that bypassed all the crap you have to navigate during a normal install.

That sounds like the sort of soft landing that I think everyone is hoping for. Stuff I've been reading has described landlords leaving buildings empty rather than lower prices and rent to smaller tenants, that sort of artificial proppi

This is an interesting story. With simple supply and demand, we have massive oversupply for office real estate and significantly reduced demand - prices should drop, right? Except we have the bag holders, the landlords who retained leases a

I've read stuff from insiders that the foundation spending grows exponentially year-after-year and they use those scare banners that "wikipedia is under threat" to collect more money and grow even more, the money is completel

I expect Wikipedia to collapse under its own weight and hard fork within the next 10 years. I think it would be a shattering like Twitter if the content wasn't under a permissive license. Instead I think it's going to be like WoWW

Yep hotplates burn the coffee and I cringe when people say they need them on longer than 25m

Yep Microsoft has started trying to do bitlocker-by-default, it sits at "waiting for activation" until the user signs into windows with a microsoft account and then it ties the bitlocker to the person's microsoft account. The

I don't like how this article has no examples with a terminal window or a code window where monospace gives a nice grid layout to the text

I think Tumblr is going to end up in business textbooks as a classic example of corporations seizing a community and strangling the life out of it

The Cool Continuum is a perspective shift, a new lens by which to study art and the artists that make it. Its strength lies in its subjectivity, which means you are invited to contribute your perspective to shape our collective underst

Molly White also wrote a review of this book: https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/review-michael-lewiss-go... The book exists in a strange space where it was mostly written before SBF's downfall (FTX collapsing an

I read Cryptonomicon like 20 years after it was relevant and I was engrossed in it until its terrible, awful, no-good ending

The phone from the article actually has a pretty slick design - retro-futuristic like a delorean. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254811165013

Yeah they're so type-A and "we are the best at this" that they end up being overproduced hostage videos with the presenters standing wide-legged and bug-eyed reciting very human words at the camera. The pandemic is over, brin

Yeah from my reading, OpenBSD's strict malloc() exposed a write after free() bug introduced recently to Firefox

I got fed up with Chrome recently (some real ugly on-by-default advertising tracking) and switched to Firefox on my work computer but not my home computer yet. Is anyone out there self-hosting firefox sync successfully? My googling seemed t

So.. one of the smokescreens Taylor uses is that their proprietary control software is necessary to ensure the sterilization procedures happen correctly, so they can trot out the argument "if you tamper with our machine you could kill

If that fact pattern holds, then unless there's a California law governing this that I'm not aware of --- and even then, federal supremacy moots it, right? --- I think they did straightforwardly violate the CFAA, contra the c

Crazy story. The Stanford daily article has copies of the lawyer letters back and forth, they are intense - and we wouldn't be able to read them if the EFF didn't step up. https://stanforddaily.com/2022/11&#x2

I was kidding although a malignant debuff killing hundreds of hardcore characters would be really, really funny

Recently, I was able to get a NVME SSD into an old dell (i5-4590) using a modified bios and a PCIE adapter card. It booted into fresh win 10 in seconds. I think it's the old problem where the more crap windows accumulates, the longer i

I've been deeply skeptical of studies claiming artificial sweeteners to be harmful, because we know refined sugar is harmful. Sugar producers have a lot to gain from spreading FUD about artificial sweeteners. BUT.. there isn't m

There's a Lineage LCW-M100TSE that should be a bit cheaper - titanium, sapphire crystal, radio sync. Also JDM though.

One funny thing about that mouse quote from John Carmack is that he was a proponent of a certain level of minimalism in his games - Quake doesn't have a "use" key, you toggle switches by shooting them or pushing them with you
