Even if the US and other car-centric countries started a serious effort on that today, it would take decades. During which people continue to use gasoline cars, and emitting more CO2 we will need to undo in the future. Electric cars make se

Yeah, it happens on two of the 970 EVO Plus models. One on the older revision, and one on the newer. (I think there are only two?) It happens on both Linux and Windows. Uhh, I'm not sure about the kernel versions. I don't remember

Yep.

I can get it to happen easily. 970 Evo Plus. Write a text file and kill the power within 20 seconds or so, assuming not much other write activity. File will be zeroes or garbage, or not present on the filesystem, after reboot.

My experience lately is that consumer drives will also lie and use a cache, but then drop your data on the floor if the power is lost or there’s a kernel panic / BSOD. (Samsung and others.)

I don't know any non-programmers who can successfully use it to make anything that isn't a glitchy mess. It's not really a low code environment. It's a "code but it's in squares with lines connecting them"

What? I never disagreed with you, except for your opening statement of "Max and Max for Live are great," which you provide no further reasoning for in your comment. And I agree with most of the rest of your comment.

Which post? Is the original articles yours? It doesn't mention anything I complained about. I don't see anything about the crashes, the bad performance, the bugs, the incomplete documentation, the design problems with the signific

Is it great? I've never liked it. It has downsides of assembly programming, like unnamed (but persistent) values stored in temporary "register" slot output pins, some additional own-goal downsides like "significant white

I don't know about that. They've grown more and more pushy over time, including upgrade badges you can't get rid of normally, notifications to upgrade at random times, requiring clicks on underlined small blue text to install

This also happened to people on Monterey. Knowing how it skips password authorization, and also treats an 'X' click on the notification as "accept" (basically, there is no way to deny it, since the only other option in t

This happened to me and I definitely had not authorized anything recently. I also looked at the logs on my machine and saw similar stuff. Even if I had, it still shouldn't have tried to upgrade me, because installing security point rel

There are a bunch of ways to do it. If you have a standard version of Windows like Home or Pro, there are scripts and config files on GitHub repos, with directions.

It happened to me.

I am in the same situation as you, including disabling Wifi when putting the machine to sleep. I only noticed the automatic upgrade was happening when I woke the machine up and it suddenly started slurping down lots of bandwidth, and I coul

I'm very familiar with all 3. I have computers with all 3 OSs (and Haiku!) and I've used all 3 of these OSs since the 90s. Windows is the worst offender for not having control. Linux is not great for media production, though throu

Yeah. I have a special installation of Windows that I keep locked down and prevent automatic upgrades. I don't recommend it unless you really need Windows. I also boot Linux and prefer it overall, but some things are not good experienc

It didn’t ask me for my password and it somehow was able to try to do it, anyway. I managed to stop it in time through sheer luck.

This also happened to me. Except I got lucky and noticed it was happening due to sudden inexplicable increase in local network traffic (thank you blinkenlights) and managed to stop it in time. Here’s my story: https://merveilles.

I've replied consistently to everyone in this thread, to the point of monotony. I haven't switched anything. I've replied so consistently and repetitively, with the same statements, that it's actually grating. This is th

No. They would sue Adobe if Adobe put images that violate copyright into Photoshop and let users insert them from a dropdown menu. Your comparison is incorrect and bad.

The way your comment was phrased made it seem, to me, like you were rebutting what I was saying and that regular human things are all irrelevant for whether or not something is a person. There is one other way I have figured out to read you

You're saying that the software itself should be held liable, instead of the people that created it. Meaning that the software would need legal status as a person (or equivalent) so that it can be taken to court, instead of the people

> I simply don't think that basing our judgement about what's acceptable for software around what's acceptable for humans necessarily implies anything about software personhood like you are saying it does. It doesn't.

by tumult 3y ago
No. They are suing the people who made the software. They are not suing the software. You can't sue software. Software isn't a person.

The article is about people (as a corporate legal entity) being sued for things people did when creating something. ChatGPT, the software, is not being sued. It can't be sued. It's software. It's not a person that can b

My first reply was rebutting that kind of equivalence, then the reply to me was saying that there's no special difference between humans and software. The reply you've replied to is me saying that's crazy.
