Instead of gnashing our teeth at the stupidity of these companies, maybe we could build competition that takes advantage of their competitive disadvantages, now that they have become inordinately obsessed with AI? This is a wonderful, once-

Ignorance, by the looks of it. A password is crackable because it doesn’t change between login attempts. Try guessing often enough, and you whittle down the probability space. 2FA is a moving target, so even with only 6 digits, it remains a

I think that an auto-highlight-on-move, similar to mashing CTRL constantly on Windows, only with the screen-darkening ability of the double-CTRL-tap of Microsoft Powertoys, would be more effective for you. As in, with every significant (use

When all current operating systems make the fundamental assumption of only one application window having “focus” at one time (even down to individual application elements having exclusive focus), how does having multiple cursors do anything

Meanwhile in Canada we have yet another lawyer failing to double-check what ChatAI hallucinates up. At least - so far! - these issues are being caught by opposing counsel or judges doing fact-checking themselves, and utterly failing to find

Why not burn it all down? Copyright did not really exist before the 17th century, yet advancements continued all the same. In fact, there are damning indications that outside of the ability to say, “I made this” in creative works, copyright

Things will be much worse than any projection, because by the very nature of Science, any and all projections must be backed up with verified, reproducible data. This typically leaves 99.999+% of all data on the cutting room floor, and wh

I did a lot of spam-fighting in the early 2000s, which tapered off after 2012 and came largely to a stop by 2016. This was aided by a large number of domain names I had, which all had MX records pointing to my eMail server, which was config

This is a hopium article. We are still accelerating past 1.5℃. By many metrics, we have already exceeded it. The only reason why we haven’t officially exceeded it, is because some benchmarks are as much as twenty contiguous years at or

If only this was a Zen 4 Threadripper system with RDIMMs and two U.2 PCIe 4 slots. 96 cores, 256Gb RAM, dual 32Tb U.2 drives in a hotswap RAID-1 array, and I would gladly snag a handful of those units for a mini-cloud. These wouldn’t be pro

If purchasing is not ownership, then pirating is not theft. I think more technically-gifted people need to look into these “subscription” systems, in order to find workarounds. Because if it comes with my car, _it’s mine to do whatever the
