The password icon being invisible is just funny. Some of the other issues are actually problematic, as they may interfere with some workflows. However if you go to the December 1. ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/to

That one might be there for other reasons. Shipping to Greenland is generally pretty hard. Nuuk is easy enough, but other parts of Greenland aren't getting packages delivered for the rest of the year. We had to deal with cut of dates f

Even Microsoft appears to agree with you, given that drive letters are symlinks. It's basically legacy, there's just no plan or reasonable path forward that will remove them.

I might be completely wrong, but I doubt that OpenAI can sell enough ad space to cover their cost. Maybe their clicks will be more valuable and that will help. Still I see this as a pretty desperate act. Google and Meta also makes their liv

There's probably a bit more to it. It really only takes one company to bet on optimizing infrastructure, to the degree that the author suggests to undermine the entire house of cards being built on Nvidia GPUs currently, yet not one AI

That would be fun on a space craft. Steam power spacecraft, powered by burning mushrooms.

I wonder if you could power something of this? If the fungus have some type of melanin that will turn ionized radiation into energy, could we then use that to power something of background radiation? Also interesting to see how close this f

Maybe circumstances have changed? I certainly trusted 2008 Google a lot more than Google in 2025. It's really amazing to see a company just throw trust and goodwill out the window, even worse to see that it pays.

Ignoring what Slashdot was like specifically: A lot more optimistic, a lot of hope and positive views of what the future would bring. The internet felt bigger, as if there was more to discover, even if it's larger now. More stupid, mor

The stock market will lose faith in AI companies, which will crash the stock price of Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Nvidia and CoreWeave. Investors will lose billions, many of those investors are pension funds. Any AI projects that aren't

Uber is also more or less a monopoly in many place. They took over the taxi industry and now drivers make less money than before. OpenAI has multiple competitors, who all build their LLMs for less money.

So I don't necessarily disagree with your suggestions, but that is just not a $1T company you're describing. That's basically a X/Twitter size company, and most agree that $44B was overpaying. It's not that OpenAI h

When Stripe entered, people stopped caring about the cost of payment processing. I don't work in the industry anymore, but Stripe became rather popular at the time where I worked on online payments. We looked at it, because the Stripe

Calling it a payment processor is a bit of an issue. The term "payment processor" has a very specific meaning in the world of online payments, and this isn't it. This is a frontend for Stripe, so it's even a bit of a str

That article is really good, because it highlight that Rust doesn't have to look messy. Part of the problem, I think, is that there's a few to many people who think that messy version is better, because it "uses more of the l

Apparently the largest atmospheric test done in Nevada was 74kT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbbob_Hood ) It's kinda hard to imagine why on earth you'd ever build a warhead larger than 100kT. At that poin

Right now, sitting in Europe, wishing that Brussels was just ever so slightly more functional, you look out into the world and see how everyone else is doing, and you're reminded that things isn't actually that bad.

This seems like a more reasonable take. What I'm wondering is "Where will consumers go?" They won't be shifting to Apple in any large numbers, many aren't willing to pay the price Apple is asking for a laptop. More

I love these "rediscoveries" of old code. Often I struggle to comprehend a lot of modern code, and while these older tools can be a little terse they are normally simple enough that I can reason about and modify the code. Sometime

A Danish supermarket had a loyalty program where you'd collect point and could get Duralex drinking glasses for the points. We got probably 25 of them, I don't think I'd consider buying anything else going forward, the qualit

The iPhone Air existing as a "prototype" for a fold-able future phone is probably the best explanation I've seen for why it even exists. Looking back, other than the insane media coverage, when was the last spectacle really?

Some years ago some TV show found presumably "the smartest man in Denmark". The title is disputed, obviously. Turns out he's basically some redneck type person who tinkers in his workshop, never held a job, just sells inventi

Exactly, CloudFlare falls squarely in the "Buy" category. This is not a product you just build, you'd overpay massively for global capacity. In general I think people are overreaction to the CloudFlare outage and most of thes
