Macbook Air isn’t just about the weight, the processor/horsepower are a draw. I have to wonder if LG can compete with Apple’s performance, rather than just making a lighter laptop. The Macbook Air is already quite light. The Macbook Pro is a beast.

I tried watching what was supposed to be a video comparing several linux distros. Instead, it was AI text to speech narrating over random images. Are people uploading this crap in an attempt to get a share of ad revenue, or just to be awful? I have to hope Youtube doesn’t let this be fully automated, so people are doing this on purpose…

Still angling for that Nobel Peace Prize…

You know it’s going to be successful when they go back to using antiquated productivity measurements like measuring based on lines of code in a time frame. We all know AI is fucking spectacular at generating overly verbose code.

I’m kind of surprised the latency was that low. Unless the NK “employee” was spoofing being in SK or something.

Waterfox is on the same page. As long as the browser doesn’t outright require it to functio0n, I think the privacy-focused forks will remain. Of course, it’s extra work to maintain divergent code, but this is worth it, IMO.

My ten year old former Win10 gaming PC was recently reborn as a CachyOS Linux gaming PC, and I just finished playing through Clair Obscur on it. I did have to upgrade the video card, but I got the RTX 5050, well within your “second best” range target, since it’s technically their budget level card.

I tried the PWA route with Discord. It wouldn’t stay logged in, and acted generally janky. That said, I do PWA with any app that’s Electron, at least to try and avoid the RAM bloat.

Didn’t you hear? They retired the penny from production. :)

Is Terminal even a Windows app or alias for cmd.exe/PowerShell? I know the joke is how bad the start “menu” is, but maybe they could’ve searched for a real app?

I’m not a Windows user, I’m asking genuinely.

I wonder if this would make Apple pull out of India. It’d be awkward, with all the manufacturing they moved there.

This has a strong whiff of the former Facebook engineers that forbade their families from using the platforms they built.

I’ve been a “Pro” user for as long as they’d had that distinction vs. lower end and the “it’s a small tablet” size.

That’s pretty awesome

That’s a great TL:DW;

Now I want an iPhone that can charge in 20 minutes. :)

While I agree they are unlikely to get a fair trial

1. They don’t deserve fairness
2. If this wasn’t leaked, they would go un-judged, which is the opposite end of that sliding scale they are complaining about by being outed as torturers.

I do wonder how much of it was “following orders” and how much was pure bloodlust. Neither excuses this, but the former would be indicative of bigger evil up the chain of command.

BBC and Netflix receive letter from Israel over film boycott

It’s not that hard to word things sanely…

Apple and Google should just prevent their app stores from functioning in Texas. This crap is getting absurd. Cause a few riots from citizens when all their apps stop working, or it’ll only get worse.

The fact that these photos and PII (personally identifiable information) were not destroyed after the verification process was certified is absolutely atrocious OpSec. I don’t even care which of the two companies is ultimately responsible, because they are both responsible.

1. Zendesk for their bad OpSec
2. Discord for both outsourcing this AND not having contractual requirements to properly secure and destroy PII when it was no longer required.

I work in IT, and treat PII like it’s dangerously radioactive, because in the digital world, it really is.

He has all the power to make them stop. Stop giving them bombs, they cannot bomb anymore.
