It's a shame they couldn't have ended the Electoral College error. It's very frustrating knowing how much better things could've turned out if the people who won the popular vote had been able to take office instead of t

Many devices can absolutely be built in a way that they do not require a dumb remote server to work, but they're built that way anyways because the manufacturer is rent seeking. It can be damn near impossible to find equivalent devices

There's a lot of stuff like this that should be very illegal and include excessive fines and jail time to stop it from happening. Buying something and then having the manufacturer take features away is a major bait and switch in the be

Oh wow this brings back memories.. I used to check this book out from a local library from time to time and daydream about building a computer. It would've been outdated already even then, but the idea appealed to me anyways.

"web3" is nothing but another crypto-scam.

Absolutely gutted to see another long running website from the glory days of the Internet closing up shop.

Unfortunately a fad that's been around since 2016/2017 or so. The largest one is probably Fortnite BR, they tend to have a few million monthly active users.. although whenever there's an event there's a lot more who just

Get real. ID Software showed the way to do this in the 90s and early 00s when they released the source code to their early Doom and Quake games, sometimes only 3-5 years after they came out. They didn't give up rights to ip and they di

X who? Just say Twitter. Nobody in their right mind is ever going to call it X legitimately.

Only people in major cities had fast internet back then. The vast vast majority of people had 56k dialup or slower.

Napster wasn't a huge improvement at all. More people could use it sure, but it was awful on a technical level compared to anything else. You couldn't resume transfers. It automatically shared your library with everyone else. You

I'm actually kinda bummed to hear that. I logged in sometime in the past few years and was pleasantly surprised to see my number from the 90s still worked. Moot point now if the whole thing is being shut down anyways, I guess.

Not to mention the good effects from shading the cars parking there so they're not so hot when you get into them in the summer.

I was hoping this would be an open-source video upscale until I saw it was from Adobe.

Is there even anything that would make sense? A lot of the older enhancements were because of the limited compute ability of older consoles, or adding sensors like the already mentioned gyro sensors and light sensors in GBA games. The Switc

Shutting down Reader was a monumentally stupid thing to do. Social features aside, I liked that it was a website I could go to and catch up on things no matter if I was at home or at work or elsewhere. The alternatives were things like apps

I'm not sure why they'd bother, 200TB is extremely impressive on its own. I just wish these would be a real thing that I could really buy one day.

Can't wait for this to be exactly like every other massive capacity optical disc technology that I've read about over the past 20 years and never come out. Will there ever be anything larger than the 100gb? 128gb? BDXL discs? I wi

You know what would be helpful is some way to reference when it was released, generation, maybe a cpu bench?

Line of Sight in a mostly empty area probably gets you a lot of range but even then I find 2-3km using "regular wifi" a little hard to swallow. 1.25-1.86 mile omnidirectionally is way too far unless you have some special thing goi

I've seen plenty of photoshopped pictures that look just as realistic as a real photo. There's also the possibility to make realistic images in Blender and Unreal Engine, among other 3d programs. It's just trendy to hate on A

If they want me to return to the office, then I need a private trailer with my office and it's own facilities in it. Don't shove me in where I'm forced to share air and virus with anyone else.

This is a silly argument. FPGAs are not emulation. They implement logic at just as low a level as an ASIC. One day even working original C64s will stop working. You can't get original parts anymore. This is as good as it gets for fixin

Who cares if the FPGA is opensource? If the verilog, or vhdl, or whatever was used to program it was available someone could adapt it to other chips.

The only money you can ever get out of crypto is other peoples money. Even when 'created' via mining, that has a real world cost in electricity and what not that you paid for. No money is ever created, even if 'price' go

Elon Musk does not have "radical ideas" He has moronic ones. The only reason any of his companies have done well is because they have people that can manage HIM well enough to do well in spite of his idiotic moronic stupid ideas.

"temporary" Elon Musk is an idiot that doesn't know what he's doing. Literally anyone would instantly use up those views.

AI is actually useful unlike fake money cryptocurrency bs. But I agree, cryptocurrency fans shouldn't be taxed. They should be arrested. Their counterfeiting equipment should be ground to dust and they should be locked up.
