Option 1 is arguably not an option in a lot of people's minds with the EOL date for W10 coming up, and threatening/pushy notifications from MS on all W10 machines telling people to upgrade to W11. Option 2 is a non-starter for a l

I feel like Geforce Now has been growing quite steadily, they onboard new titles every week including some big ones like World of Warcraft recently and they've stood up streaming DC's in quite a lot of places now.

As someone who used to work on that platform back when it was still called PlayStation Now, no it is not. There's a few rumors and alleged leaks though.

To me, even proposing the (extremely obviously) negative state in the first place is a sign of bad faith on the part of the proposer. If they proposed kicking puppies twice a day, and after some discussion decided to not do that would we al

Can't wait for my washing machine to be able to make an API call to OpenAI so it can worked out how best to tackle the stain on my undies. We really are living in the future.

I'd love to try one, but their price in my country (Australia) is absolutely bonkers. For the same money I could literally buy a perfectly usable secondhand car. If it was at most, the same cost as a Macbook Pro or ideally a Macbook Ai

As an IC, you don't really get a say in what your metrics are though.

I'm kind of surprised this wasn't already a thing. Are we to believe that up until literally today, most employees at MS didn't have to think about security? The same MS who's products and platforms are certified for use

I kind of feel like he's right, but his other recent declaration of "just run your own infrastructure" is kind of antithetical to making stuff simpler? Cloud isn't always the best fit, and there's literally nothing

I for one am glad kids don't play in the street any more, I'd hate to have to hear all that noise constantly. Backyards with high fences are much better - they can still play outside if they want to but the noise is far more isola

In that very specific scenario, no. Fortunately there are many more use cases for comments other than just linking to design docs and jira tickets.

You're 100% right, but people outside 'straya probably aren't familiar enough with the situation and just see any mention of immigration as a bad thing.

My fault for poor wording, what I mean it understands the code its commenting on, and writes useful comments that I would normally write myself, and can also write simple boilerplate code for me. So for example if I start typing 'while

I'm not sure about required, but depending where you live most of the stuff that's open at night is drinking-related ie. bars, pubs and clubs. A table full of people in a busy bar only ordering Coke or water is going to be kicked

I don't think AI could generate 90% or even 40% of my code, but by god does it generate me a lot of boilerplate and comments. My work just gave us all Copilot and it's really good at creating useful comments (even for Pydocs), a

Mine are all named after ships from the Expanse, generally based on what they are or how I use them. My phone is the Rocinante, big beefy desktop is the Donnager, NAS is the Nauvoo etc.

As someone who hasn't had social media for several years, unless you count this site for some reason, this is mildly concerning. Do I just have to make a burner Facebook account so my bank will let me access my own money?
