Cities have to truly compete with private rent-seekers for it to work.

In Vienna they are still building state of the art for that reason:

void-kampff pattern matching is failing me here

Another instance of pure power games if you track the political "reasonings" and technological "solutions".

It's the same fight with yet another face; we must keep pushing back at the hydra.

Good point. Fortunately, where I live, subscription fees are typically charged before the next billing period begins, so there usually isn't any outstanding balance carried over. Credit-building in the North American sense also isn't much of a thing here. My understanding is that, even in North America, most of the benefit comes from just consistently paying your credit card bill, although I can't say that with certainty.

One way I've "reset" my subscriptions is by invalidating the credit card they're on so most of them just stop billing. YMMV it's a bit of a blunt tool and not always foolproof, but it's worked for me before.

I'm biased towards CLI and reign of LLMs means we're all Unix/text (for) now. So IMO there are many reasons, but chiefly amongst them is UI/HCI design leader Apple throwing out their/industry's interaction design best practices over the last 10+ years.

Embracing constraints and "how it works" used to be at the core of their software ethos.

Are people on the streets or is this some Franco-Pavlovian reflex kicking in?

Net neutrality used to be a pillar of the EU internet. 2026; the mind fucking boggles.

Creeping normalcy into the substrate:

As a parent: the hard-won lesson is that most of this threat surface shrinks when you're genuinely present (listen/talk/educate).

Radicle moment.

For people who don't know GN:

Amazing feat. I was a very happy owner of both consoles back in the day, and this port clearly shows how much the N64 brought that "SGI at home" feel in mid‑1996; at least until Voodoo 1 / QuakeGL, maybe even up to Unreal (Glide) or Sonic Adventure on DC?

I still remember gasping when I first saw the basically unattainable (for me) Japanese‑import N64 running Mario 64.

Such an interesting and varied gaming landscape back then; for example, the Wipeout experience on PSX was beyond the N64 port in that particular niche, for its own set of reasons.

Prompt injections + context window engineering are the combined Archilles heel of the "agentic revolution".

FYI Tristan Harris of "infinite scroll is a slot machine" fame is also currently shining a light on this matter:

Aside from cryptographically sound and open source end to end verifiable options there is one simple alternative still used in many other countries and jurisdictions:

1. voters mark paper ballots 2. observers from all parties watch the counting 3. results are tallied publicly

Yes, this is very much feasible; and no, this is not the right domain to be ingeniously efficient and cost sensitive. US being the richest country in the world or some such, etc..

Could you share which one you installed and under which circumstances? I'm running two mobile HEPA air filters; not very efficient nor very effective I'd assume.

I'm asking myself if building a DIY setup or buying something like Airthings Wave Plus will actually track these compounds at decent accuracy - and if anyone here has gone down this rabbit hole for family health?

From what I've gathered, consumer devices hit acceptable accuracy for CO2/temp/humidity but PM2.5 is hit-or-miss, and VOC readings are more "relative change indicators" than absolute values..

DIY with Home Assistant is more work/fun yes but again only gets similar accuracy AFAIK (with potentially better automation)..

This is also one of the saddest aspects of retro computing.

Most listings fail to mention whether previous owners were smokers, and most sellers either aren't sensitive to and/or haven't experienced the off-gassing that occurs once devices warm up through actual use.

So this is actually the main reason I'm thrilled about the MiSTer project and the growing number and variety of FPGA-based clones being released today.

Missed opportunities over decades, in EU especially.

Which areas support community‑owned or open‑access networks that enable multi‑ISP competition and affordable symmetric service (aka "true internet")?

Unless we get to see someone doing more in-depth profiling we can't know. This should still give more headroom across app usage; especially when not using the camera then and probably even with (it's a 50% increase versus last mem max).

Through the last iterations I only ever upgrade my iPhone whenever there is a "meaningful" RAM upgrade in it for me. So this one here is not too bad going from 8GB to 12GB (Air, Pro, Pro Max).

Exactly; and hopefully all the while trying to reach higher standards across all axes.

EU is waking up late but ready to be raising the baseline apparently.

Maybe the best tech news of the year IMHO.

I always liked the idea and practice of what they called "rejection therapy" at the time.

Probably builds high-bandwidth, interpersonal muscle like nothing else?

Streisand amplification in effect.

Very Bay Area to assume you invented Bayesian thinking.

I see the opposite trend, as the (imo much needed) shock from Jonathan Haidt's 'The Anxious Generation' is only starting to really resonate in the minds of educators and parents.

No smartphones allowed at school, strict usage limits for older kids at home, etc.
