Nothing stopping you from just continuing to use it. Not like they flipped the kill switch for every downloaded copy on Earth.

That case is in regards to a guardian figure who has some level of legal responsibility for the children in their care. In that case it makes sense to hold someone accountable for the actions of someone else because the person in question a

Seems a bit silly. Could you sue Microsoft because they did nothing to prevent death threats from being written in Word or sent over Outlook?

Sometimes when I notice a streetlamp come on in the afternoon, the complexity of it dawns on me. It's sturdy, well made. How would I ever roll that material up that way? How could I plant it into the ground so it stays standing? The ma

People are developing for money, yes, money that Apple intends to take a large cut of for no good reason, hence why they would avoid developing for it because they would not make enough money. Developers do not need Apple because there are

What do you mean? If it's the TPM requirement, Rufus can whip up a Win11 installer that bypasses that in like a minute.

I thought it was in reference to Trurl's Electronic Bard, which just about presciently predicted LLM output (though the process is a bit more dramatic, what with how it simulates the whole universe to get to that output): https:/

Right, streaming can win on convenience but loses so hard on content that it has begun to cancel out any reason to use it. Netflix really was great back when it was just getting really popular and had both consistent content and a just-work

Yep. This video is played for laughs but I was shocked to learn how much of it was true and not just satire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvhv7bgmz64 Content being fragmented and constantly coming and going is a massive

I also love that game but that's hardly how I would describe it as of late. It has become more of an optimization puzzle where you try to run through the game as efficiently (which does not necessarily mean "as quickly") as p

Just enable showdead if you want to see all of that. It's 99% botspam.

This sounds like a critique of the creators of the AI moreso than the users of it, which TFA is targeting.

Correct, not at all obvious. The obvious effect of generating an image of a dog on the moon is that you now have an image of a dog on the moon. If you showed it to 100 artists, some percentage of them might recognize it's AI, but none

Is that for streams to free users or premium ones?

Sure you will. Plenty of families share a single VR headset.

"You park your bike for two minutes and that’s what you are left with" got me pretty good as someone who has had a bike stolen before.

Glad to see this getting more attention here, it was posted a few days ago but drowned ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39037104 ). The original video has a lot not mentioned in this brief article, including a custom ad

Not my intent to claim equivalence. The comparison just shows that it's possible and in fact very reasonable for a company to take some level of responsibility on behalf of their customers. I guess the difference in stakes do factor in

Listening to the press conference, it sounds like the landing was a success but that the solar generators aren't creating any power, so they're currently on low power from the battery as they try to figure that out.

Very cool process, shame this post drowned. For anyone who stumbles upon this, the tl;dw is: - The pointer that GBA games use to play audio relies on the game to provide it with a buffer of space in RAM where the audio data is located. When

Agreed on 2, and I would even go further: While I think there is definitely something odd to the behavior on display here, dramatizing that as a cult is perhaps too far (though I don't know for sure how I would put it myself). Good tho

That is in part the point of the article, I think. Ultimately this comes down to personal preference. Apple, Microsoft, Linux, everything has ups and downs and it shouldn't be more than personal preference. What becomes an issue is whe

Of course it skips that! There are obviously plenty of good things Apple does with its products, and it is not on the article to qualify each of them before moving on to a criticism. The "human folly" is the susceptibility to adve

I did something similar but got a flash cart and a CRT. The nostalgia aspect still works for me since I had a flash cart back then too, only that one was maybe double the size of the N64 itself and this one is the same size and shape as a r

This wasn't my experience with IRC. Our channel only ever had thirty people tops before being swallowed by discord. It's got the same discovery/accessibility issues that the Windows vs Linux issue has. Want Windows/Disco
