It is always interesting seeing the mostly blind loyalty that Valve seems to get for no real clear reason. Don't get me wrong, I love their games (when they bother to make one) and my Steam Deck. But lets not pretend that Valve is our

I have only been able to play with iOS 26 so far a little bit in the simulator, and so far it seems fine. To me it feels like after a couple months I will likely forget that a change was made (which TBH I think is a good thing, unlike when

I was wondering if this was going to happen after we saw the iPad with the M chip in it. But this does make me wonder, how much of a difference is there really between the A chips and the M chips. Clearly they are similar enough if either c

I will never forget one of my earliest Apple purchases being a macbook pro. I was convinced that I needed a certain specd machine that was more expensive. The person I was working with instead of just accepting what I thought I wanted asked

Not only that, but it would also raise significant concerns about how any of the recommendations, treatments, blog posts, etc are made. Like are the different people for those blog posts real people? This is particularly concerning for a to

My favorite is trying to use it to generate an IAM policy and keys are just hallucinated based on expectations of what the keys would be called and are either wrong or they flat out don't exist if you are dealing with more advanced con

This is awesome news, with a lot of the recent news I was worried this was not going to happen or we would get some stupid fear mongering (or some puritanical reason used). Now the real question is insurance. Is this cheaper than the pills?

It drives me insane that iOS does not do this automatically. Those “helpful” links to addresses in my email that go to google maps in my browser instead of my Apple Maps app that I actually use drive me insane. Especially with the pop up fr

Right I mean the chocolate one is illegal. The chicken one, honestly not fully sure since Purdue keeps getting exposed but idk if they actually have had legal issues? But my point with both of those is, as bad as those would be they don&#x2

Then why require GMO labeling on food? We don't require labeling for basically any other concerns about business practices and yet everyone seems to care about this one. When I buy chicken it doesn't have a sticker on it sayin &qu

That is not a problem with the act of making GMO's in the first place, which again is the point that I am trying to make here. If the product that had these modifications is perfectly safe without being sprayed with it, the science beh

No… that is not what I said at all. I have yet to see a single instance of any actual health concerns raised from eating GMO food. It has turned into marketing bullshit. Again there has to be a clear separation between the science behind GM

I really really hate that the science behind GMO’s gets clouded by the business practices of some of these companies. You can separate the 2. Being anti gmo is being anti science. Decrying all GMO as bad, unhealthy, or whatever is as illogi

Frustratingly though, it’s going to get hard and harder to avoid. Even looking at building my own machine today, “AI PC” is all over much of this.

I think it is really important to take societal pressure on woman into account here. Which you kinda touch on, but not fully. If a woman is a slut, they are shamed. If a man is a slut, they are cheered on. Or put another way, a woman has to

Yes, 100%. Made worse by maybe afraid to speak up because of how might be judged ("Oh this person was asking for it because they do porn"). Feeling like you have no power. It is for sure a complicated issue and societal norms and

I should be very clear here that I am a gay man, so I don't really have exposure to much of what is talked about here even if I have heard about it. What I find interesting is that it seems to equate critiquing porn with critiquing the

It seems like all of the browsers now import data from other browsers when you install them. So, is that really much of the case? Beyond the old stereotype "grandparent thinks the E is the internet", there is not much of a differe

What company takes it over is an important question, and I honestly don't have a good answer for that. Nearly every company I can think of would have some problem. But my question is, do we need Chrome to actually continue in its cur

While true, that assumes that the engineering effort is worth whatever extra market they are getting from it. I just can't imagine there is that many people that would bother with a "private cloud" that may not already have a

How much of a market is there really for those apps? They are competing against most consumers accepting the ease (and significantly cheaper) of cloud based storage. We (in the tech space) can scream privacy and risks of the cloud all day l

All medication is choosing between the effects of what you are treating the the side effects of the medication. For a lot of people it isn't that easy. There is a reason weight loss surgery has been a thing for a long time. I could eas

I can't read the article so I don't know if this is answered, but my real question is the price. Is it reasonable for the average person or is this for the rich only. More options are great, but not if most people that need it can

There is a certain amount of irony that people try really hard to say that hallucinations are not a big problem anymore and then a company that would benefit from that narrative gets directly hurt by it. Which of course they are going to tr

They really need to do much better about how they communicate this to users. Developers are unable to opt out of the system and Valve will just put a "verified" tag on a game with zero input from a developer. Valve needs to set pr

This is honestly wild. Whether we like it or not security incidents have become such common place in the last several years that if they just admitted to it this entire story would have likely been shrugged off and mostly forgotten about in

There are a few things about S3 that I find extremely powerful. The biggest is, if I need to store some data. I know what the data is (so I don't need to worry about needing to in a moment notice traverse a file structure for example,
