youtube with ublock origin is a game changer. Or you can pull up VLC and peruse your collection of locally-stored content

I've never understood 'brand new' to imply anything about freshness. But according to Mirriam-Webster it means both in different, but very similar, contexts. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bra

I don't understand what the distinction/problem is. It's a new-in-box a la "brand new". You're really getting tripped up over semantics? My point is this stuff is still in play in a lot of places.

May have been 2018. Definitely not that long before covid. Suppliers in the embedded space will stockpile EOL parts for desperate integrators such as ourselves, and can continue to supply new units for years after they're discontinued.

I would bet a lot of those folks are running embedded linux environments. Kiosks, industrial control, signage, NUCs, etc. I know that as of about 6 years ago I was still working with brand-new 32-bit celeron systems for embedded application

You can evaluate it as anecdote. How do I know you have the level of experience necessary to spot these kinds of problems as they arise? How do I know you're not just another AI booster with financial stake poisoning the discussion? We

Model intelligence should be part of your equation as well, unless you love loads and loads of hidden technical debt and context-eating, unnecessarily complex abstractions

The ecosystem, including tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars of free assets are an extremely compelling use case for me

I too have been wondering whether the time I spend wrangling AI into getting it to do what I want, is greater than the time I'd spend if I just did it myself

How would that even work when the web is basically one big black box to the OS? Most of the stuff that matters to most consumers is on the web now anyway. I don't see how 'capabilities' would even work within the context of a

Pretty sure this was the "stealth" model behind Roo Code Sonic (I saw the name Grok Sonic floating around). It's a good model for implementing instructions but don't let it try to architect anything. It makes terrible de

Maybe everybody's job should be cushy instead. We were not put on this earth to toil away for a bunch of rich fucks

That is certainly how it played out for me. Give your employers an inch and they will take a mile.

If it can navigate to an arbitrary page (in your browser) then it can exploit long-running sessions and get into whatever isn't gated with an auth workflow.

Was it? WOW64 runs 32-bit software fine enough. Or are you talking about 16-bit applications?

Wouldn't it be better if all interested parties band together and put forth a XML+XSLT-to-HTML translation with a common interface, and then integrate that?

They still show up that way, same with linux servers running Samba. To be completely honest, the joke is getting a little bit old. They could at least update the graphic. But Windows has not been that crashy since Windows ME. Maybe they cou

Not sure why this is so remarkable. You can find similar assets on Windows buried in explorer.exe or shell32.dll. Hell just poking around my win10 install and I see winhlp32.exe and write.exe sporting their original Windows 3.x icons (thoug
