Well I ditched windows in '01 having used it since the 3.11 days, and have never looked back. Even when I had to compile Slackware from scratch. I guess like any OS you need to stick with it. If the graphics card isn't compatible

Looks really nice actually. Shame it’s 13 inch just like framework. That’s just irritating to me I could never use it. The other issue is Windows. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig. Ubuntu should be the default these days. But, really ni

I won’t touch GCP, even after they gave us 2k credits. Their customer service reps have “well that’s just too bad” on the tip of their tongue. AWS is #1 for good reason

This is why I could never live or do business in the UK. The people and their government are primitive and don’t understand what freedom means. If you study parliament it quickly becomes clear that the UK operates under a dictatorship and t

No, it’s perfectly valid for an AI break an algorithm where a human cannot. You’ll see

Yes, but the problem becomes who can evaluate it? Inevitably another AI system because of the complexity. And who has the most powerful AI? And what is their agenda? Ah! another backdoored algorithm. But the real issue is the loss of confi

AI will break SHA256. It’s probably backdoored already look who made it. But crypto won’t last long enough for that to be meaningful. I give bitcoin 3 months to the floor.

Is this compassionate use or experimentation on a dying patient for the future benefit of the rest of us? I’m fine with the latter, if consensual. But only if we call it what it is.

RISC-V’s success won’t benefit the end user, only spare designers a licensing fee they can well afford. After recompiling everyone’s software and dividing a huge unified ecosystem the end result will be some political victory with no materi

I don’t understand how you came to that compromise.

I don’t think that’s the type of streaming video they optimized the IP on the SoC for. It’s clever, but not really useful. And who does it help exactly? Because the implication if you’re reduced to watching on a small screen is that you’re

I’m sorry but who watches video on a 6 inch phone today?

I’ve sat for hours comparing the screens. No difference to me. To each his own. I guess

You want AI reviewing medical imaging to recognize race because the likelihood of certain diseases is higher for some races than others.

I’m on the 12 Pro Max and I have the M1 iPad Pro. There’s -no perceivable difference- in scrolling effect. Seems to me just like the Pixel line real features couldn’t be added because of Covid this year. So just throw in a bigger battery an

Nope. You’ve wasted $400 and that’s a fact.

Ok here’s a list of the features; “GPS, fitness tracking, music, calls, text if I'm out on a run (LTE required), 2-factor auth, Apple Pay.“ Now why would you need them running on an Apple watch when you have an iPhone in your pocket?
52.
by threshold 5y ago
In principle I would agree. But even if we put aside the battery life issue, using those features on that tiny device is totally impractical. It reminds me of those Casio calculators with tiny buttons you needed to press with a pin. And no

That’s so sad. Trying to picture a grown man/woman dictate an email to a watch looking at that tiny screen with an iPhone in his/her pocket. The lengths of denial people go through to avoid the realization they’ve been had.

by threshold 5y ago
Must have! Nobody will ever use those features and besides you need to have a powered iPhone in your pocket for them to work, and the iPhone does all that and more. I’ll tell you what the Apple watch is; a status symbol. So the wealthy can

Pointless? That’s what a watch is for. To tell the time. Or were you thinking of composing email on that tiny screen? What exactly else would you do with it?

by threshold 5y ago
This product has a huge flaw. I’m not charging my watch every day. I just won’t. My $13 Casio has been running for 9 years without a charge and hasn’t lost 1 minute. No, Apple, you can’t have $400 for that.

Mixed feelings about this. What a tragic, tragic day. I’ve only watched through that video one time and it’s awful. Can you hold it against Stern for calling the terrorists towelheads and advocating for nuclear war and genocide? Considering

That’s a Spartan 6 but you really want the larger fabric parts. If you go to Digikey they will quote starting at 20k, but on ebay a few hundred will do assuming you have a Vivado license capable of building a bitstream. It is possible to co
