Full title: Intel Removed All CPU information pages before 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors I don't get why they did this, Ark is such a great resource. If there is any cost to keeping the data usable, surely it can't be tha

I had to file by mail because I moved to a new state and got 2 W-2s for the same job, of which the W-2 for the former state left the federal fields (1-13) blank. This weird W-2 apparently makes me ineligible for e-file. Edit: In hindsight,

Being able to take pride in your work also helps a lot. In academia, my work may not be the most well compensated (it's perfectly reasonable for the area but I'm not going to be retiring early), but it is modern software that mean

For decades, the US could be counted upon to fund things with little immediate benefit but massive long-term positive externalities. I don't think its likely that the republican party will "go back to normal" post-Trump, so w

Same goes for a lot of TV shows shot on film vs tape vs early digital cameras. Tape and early digital cameras have a much lower quality ceiling than stuff shot on film.

Any model we can create of human intelligence is also likely to be incomplete until we start making complete maps of peoples brains since we all develop differently and take different paths in life (and in that sense it's hard to gener

GPS trackers and immobilizers (aka "kill switches") have also made repo work a lot easier. If you buy from low/no-credit ("buy here pay here") lots, you probably have at least one (if not both) installed.

That assumes the conservative press will actually cover this scandal for what it is. I checked Fox, OANN, Breitbart, Newsmax, and Infowars. Of those outlets, Newsmax is only covering the attacks themselves, not the breach of national securi

The last time I tried updating an HP printer, it locked up and printed half a ream of jibberish before I pulled the plug on it. Now, I just put printers on a firewalled VLAN and call it a day.

It's like an internet argument spilled out into the real world, with all the posturing and bravado to increase perceived expertise. Except it's gambling with an entire nation's fortune, instead of likes/votes/reacti

Given enough time, you'll end up with a lot of legitimate users who follow a huge number of accounts but rarely interact with more than a handful, similar to how many long-time YouTubers have a very high subscriber:viewer ratio (that i

The only real market (that I can see) are shady data aggregators. Governments just file subpoenas, and abusive megacorps can file lawsuits (all the anti-SLAPP statues in the world can't prevent your Google account from being unmasked a

I haven't seen any streamers who officially put their sub emotes on BTTV/FFZ/7TV and enable them in their channel, so if anything they end up supplementing the sub emotes rather than providing a reason to avoid subscribing. T

In a similar vein, I remember reading somewhere that creating shows for direct-to-streaming is liberating because, although it is quite similar to TV in that it's telling a story in chunks (usually 30 to 60 minutes) without a guarantee

It downloads and executes a Python script to update the store page? Log4j/log4shell, anyone? Just build a JSON API! It's not that hard! You don't need to RCE your game every time it launches just for microtransactions.

If a codebase is fragile enough that libc++ changes have to be assumed breaking until proven otherwise, why take the risk? Presumably the application already has a "standard" way of formatting strings. If it ain't broke yada

One way to check could be to insert the serial number into various printer manufacturer's warranty check pages to see if anything pops up. Some companies (like Lexmark) require a model number first (which was not present for the exampl

At this point I have to wonder if judicial intervention will have any effect; a court ruling only matters if the administration decides to obey it. There's a lot of frozen funds which legally cannot be frozen due to them either not bei

I've heard this argument about spell checkers in Word, browsers, etc as well. Anecdotally, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some truth to it: in the early 2010s I saw tons of people saying "defiantly" that meant to t

That's a really good point. Perhaps the protocol should be expanded with an explicit identifier unique to an extant legal entity (or string of identifiers, to account for ownership changes like acquisitions), so it would be easy for SS
