Nixie tubes are cool but they're also significantly more expensive, take up more space, and are more prone to failure.

It's less common now, but you used to see them frequently. Most people didn't really know how they worked though, and had never heard of WWV or WWVB.

It's definitely possible, a few companies do it, and let me tell you: People hate it.

This is actually a terrible use for AI, since it's going to regurgitate the marketing astroturfing on Reddit without showing you the source so you can see it's all bots.

A national ban is unlikely to happen. Big companies like Flock are incredibly experienced at paying off enough of the Congress to stop legislation they don't like. You're better off trying to focus your efforts on your local munic

It's wild that we've known for decades to use ACLs to make sure people don't have access to files we don't want them to have access to, but somehow a computer pretending to be a person doesn't get that same treatmen

If the LLM does the work, why should someone pay you when they could use their own tokens?

You're right, but of course OpenBSD does far more than 20%. One thing I actually really like about OpenBSD is that things either work or they don't. There's no "Well it kind of works if you have this specific hardware se

The problem is webdevs don't do that. They say "98% is fine" and then don't program any fallback, or worse, actively block users that don't meet 100% compatibility.

Probably because you insist that your computer be on at all times, never save your work, and don't allow it to reboot while you're away. That, or your IT team sucks. The problem with Windows being so easy is that any idiot can do

It is easy to administer. Nothing come close to Active Directory + Group Policy, not even Entra ID + Intune. Windows in the enterprise is just a completely different beast to what you see in the home, or even small businesses.

That's not a great example, because once I pay Apple I can copy the song to my local device and keep it myself. I would hope Apple would keep it on their servers ready for me for the rest of my life, but if I don't I can still a

If AI is making our anime anyway, why do we need an anime industry? Let's just get rid of it and we'll all generate our own shows to watch. Why should I pay a platform for someone else's slop when I can make my own? Business
