Flash was a buggy piece of shit and was blocking development of HTML 5. Adobe was the monopolist in that scenario not Apple. Sorry about Newgrounds and Strongbad but Flash had to go.

Sony has trained me to pay my subscription fee and be extremely skeptical about “buying” any games, no matter how deeply discounted they are. I don’t play much on PC but I have no qualms buying a game on Steam.

Is there something unique about hugging face that the models cannot be hosted elsewhere? I see open source as more important to Nvidia than anyone else because it sells hardware. The services’ motivations are only partially aligned with Nvidia.

That’s just Ubuntu Pro and it’s basically longer term kernel maintenance plus applies to the universe repo not just main. The only extra functionality is the ability to live patch the kernel. The base install works fine as is but some businesses require the extended support.

Our local school district hands out Dynabooks with Windows to every kid. They are so cheaply made that everyone just calls them “Chromebook”.

Sweeney doesn’t like games, he’s just into programming and game engines. That might help the disconnect between him and gamers.

Agree but would rather it be enforced at the OS level than per app or site. My kid just told me she uploaded her photo to some game she plays which sucks.

Bandcamp or rip CDs at the library. Ytdlp if you want to rip audio from YouTube. Picard to fingerprint and tag the files.

You can also just assign the drive you just created to a vm via VFIO. No need to dual boot.

Probably an openclaw server attached to Don Jr’s bank account.

It’s worth pointing out that the company and CEO in question are South Korean.

My understanding is that the AI companies push their servers so hard that the components are basically consumables. Consumers don’t really press their machines to the point of physical exhaustion.

In WarGames the computer plays tic tac toe against itself until it realizes it’s a solved game and there is no way to win.

They forgot to make their LLMs play thousands of games of tic-tac-toe first.

They did gove some advice. They said to go with a vendor that is transparent about problems and reveals the results of their third party security audits. I’m sure if you read between the lines it means they likely reviewed several vendors and chose to spend their time attacking ones that are opaque about their security stance and used outdated encryption or bad implementations of E2E encryption. So all three are likely suspect. Like if 1Password were developed similarly to LastPass wouldn’t they have spent time attacking it?

1Password are posting the results of their external pen testing now.

This link was my favorite part of this post too!

Kali Linux as Chad OS suggests this list is as much meme as truth so I wouldn’t worry about the rankings.

What’s a nom-Caucasian character? A crocodile? A shark?

1440p screens are all monitors you sit 2-4’ from. That close you can justify a higher resolution but people pick 1440p for other reasons like frame rate.

Even if they were priced the same as 4K they would still be a bad value. Computers and consoles struggle with 4K 120Hz so 4 times the resolution is too much to ask.
