If it was just recognizing license plates that would be fine. However it fingerprints individuals by running a Bluetooth and WiFi connection to capture your phone or laptop’s Bluetooth MAC and WiFi MAC. There are Flock cameras placed along

A friend met with Oracle salesdroids (his company has spent a few million with them in the last few years). They told him everything is oriented towards AI, to the point that otherwise profitable software is not being updated and developmen

Good to see that there is still development going on, a year after the fork on it. I don't view the love for Wayland as requiring deprecation of X11 or vice versa.

AWS gets a lot of money from both the unclassified government work they do plus the more secretive work. If they were required to disclose as part of that, they would disclose - why put all those contracts at risk?

It installed perfectly on my V210 UltraSPARC machine and also on an Intel i5-8400T ( from memory) HP desktop. Very nice distribution!

I think some of the devs are Russian and a quick scan of the video doesn't show anything other than a shared screen for the bulk of the time (using the mouse to grab the time pointer and move it quickly through the length of the presen

Their semiconductor manufacturing was 10-15 years behind the Western technology. They just didn’t have the capability. Despite that they had good brains and delivered efficiently with what they had.

The frustrating thing is, that for not much more spent at the time of construction, we could have nearly maintenance-free homes for 80 years or more. Like, why use wood in an climate like the American South, where there are multiple species
