No. Because the setup screen you get demands that you connect to the network and refuses to let you do anything with your dumb old dvd player until you give it network access. Welcome to dark patterns.

There are a significant amount of TVs that won't let you do TV things until you give 'em a network connection.

Meh. The people who screamed loudest about Generics missing in Go aren't going to be using the language now that the language has them, and are going to find something new to complain about. The language will suffer now with additional

I still have an old G4 powermac hanging around to do most of my image and audio editing in under (gasp) OS9 no less. I can still do huge modern-pixel-count images with Photoshop 6 just fine, because I don't really care about 10bit colo

Not polluting the planet and being a rampant consumer for one is a very good reason not to upgrade. If one is to actually use a computer not as a glorified web terminal, you'll find that for most things that aren't video/audi

The modern OSS scene where people file DMCA notices and other legal actions against forks because, well, because, does not jive with that view.

I suppose condescending smugness can read like surprise in certain cases.

That would be a wonderful thing to able be do, if the woke brigade wasn't screaming "YOU'RE WITH US OR YOU'RE AGAINST US" a parent over. ;) Ignoring that isn't an option, unfortunately, believe me, that's

Oh there's no eventually. They've been demanding it for years. There's a very good reason why some software on my machines is already pinned to specific versions, and will not under any circumstances be upgraded. Thankfully t

Arguments about protesting aside, isn't this not the first time npm has been hit with what is basically an injection attack that screwed up the day for a lot of people? And people ask me why I refuse to use *.js.

Putting such trust in state actors in the year 2022 seems optimistic to the point of naievety.

1. I agree, as much as I think the maintainer of node-ipc is a flipping idiot and should be given an atomic wedgie, it's their project to do with as they wish. 2. That being said, forking a project due to maintainer disagreements is a

Looking at the data from the CDC, ( https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7002e1.htm ) the most recent, best tested, most safe vaccine that we have has a rate of 11,1/million, so we're both of

What does the covid vaccine have to do with anything? Anaphylactic reactions to vaccines are common, and are an assumed side effect of any vaccine. Multiply the entire population of the world by 1%, which is a normal assumed rate of an alle

Looking forward to biotech companies doing this anyways, having a good number of people die due to allergic reactions, and then society shrugging and going 'but it's for the greater good, and if you don't agree you're a

Bluntly speaking, this is not a problem that tech can solve. Because nothing, no video calls, no vr, no phone calls, can replace an on-site professional. There are approximately top 10 languages you want to have staff for, and then the rest
