I think you’re right. I’ve eaten vegan most of my life and take creatine to make up for the lack of it in my diet with no downsides. It gives me a little more energy for workouts and runs. I don’t look bigger or bulkier, just feel a bit sha

Oh yes, I remember reading the am17an report about that! It was incredibly detailed and definitely not just a single-sentence declarative summary of Haidt's "The Anxious Generation." It is not even like I disagree with the gi

Not in the original statement, but as it referenced here, the word 'information' is doing absolutely ludicrous amounts of lifting. Hopefully it bent at the knees, because it my book it broke. You can't call the phrase "t

By that definition, every iPhone is subsidized. Google pays to be the default search engine and subsidizes iPhone. I meant a contracted subsidy where the user sticks with att or whatever for $n$ years.

Nope. At least in the USA, they were carrier locked not subsidized[1]. The 3G was 199$ when subsidized[2]. According to www.usinflationcalculator.com, 500$ would be ~780$ in modern money. Close to the price of the base iPhone 17 and 300+ do

This is a false statement; nothing communicated is remotely accurate. Just your classic false equivocation + whataboutism two-step used to enable the machinery that chews all that is good about the united states. I can't speak for anyo

I hate Python more than anyone I know. My nightmares are filled with people repeatedly chanting "programming is done by consenting adults." Hearing someone say "Pythonic" as a synonym for clever/good, or having so

Governments don't have rights. They didn't spring fully formed from the wombs of other governments without a say in the matter. They have privileges. Provisional privileges derived from the people (or at least that is what some ve

"Why are you making me punch you" is a stand-in for the kind of broken logic a child uses on a playground. It isn't about actually punching people (although many have been assualted by ICE). Instead, it is about deploying mal

NO we shouldn't. You are defending playground rules "why are you making me punch you" with people's lives.

Define anti-democratic. I would describe a 'police force' that can forcibly and summarily deport people to gray market gulags run by a self-proclaimed "what-if-4chan-had-a-meat-world-avator" dictator as pretty darn anti-

I'd like to think the rebrand was just someone having the foresight to get ahead of its sad eventual move to the west. Thanks Steve!

I'm sorry, but is one of your honest arguments: well actually "the stock market doesn't have a soul"? Fun fact, neither your parent nor the person who wrote article thinks the stock market has an actual soul. (fwiw: this

That's not true, at least not really. The Supreme Court has been ducking the question of the legality of the recent firings by reversing, on the shadow docket, any lower court injunctions that stay the firings. When the cases eventuall

OSNews is one of my favorite things from the old internet. It (and Thom) deserve so much love. May its Septembers stay eternal.

I see your point. Speaking only for myself, when I call someone a "bad" person (I am wary of calling anyone "bad," but that is the language used in this conversation), I mean that they treat others poorly. They may contr

I ask this not as a gotcha (I don't know the first thing about this), but rather because I'm interested: How do you know not "ever"? Like, trivially, it's an ASIC, so I can use it to simulate a von Neumann[*] machin

I did acknowledge it? I said best in the x86 space and second overall. The "raw" iGPU ordering is M4, Lunar Lake, Strix Point, and finally 8 Elite. Of course, numbers aren't everything. If one actually were to pick an iGPU fo

I don't really understand this. Intel was (and arguably still is) too large relative to its current technical capabilities. Yet even in this current “bad chips” era, Intel is only, at worst, about 10% behind in gaming performance (larg

Wage 'growth' after 2+ years of real wage decline (vs stagnation) is the coldest comfort to folks categorized as 'low earner'. Anyone ignoring that make me question their motives

Agreed! Which stinks, because it seems fun, if a bit boring aesthetically. If Tesla were still seen as culturally aspirational (or optimistic) like turn‑of‑the‑millennium Sony was[1,2,3], a retro‑futurist space serving primarily as a PR cam

4 x 2.5 inch drives = 1 petabyte. Some years back, I read this short PR style article[1] about how the LHC produces 10 petabyes of data per second. Which was (then) impossible to store in any meaningful way. So the folks at CERN came up wit

Hopefully someone with more brains (and legal experience) than me FOIA requests the prompts. Might make a good avenue for disputing the validity of the rejections in court...
