What happens if there’s a storm? Hurricane? Etc?
vGPU··on US warship and multiple commercial ships attacked in the Red Sea
Considering how well Afghanistan went, somehow I don’t think it’s working very well.
vGPU··on US warship and multiple commercial ships attacked in the Red Sea
Their “navy” consisted of 9 “ships”, of which 6 were speedboats. Like the kind you go fishing on. The US probably spent more money on the ammunition to sink them than they were worth.

It’s not exactly hard to watch a few 30 second videos and pick up some new slang via contextual learning. It’s a skill we all learned in elementary school.
vGPU··on Why does sleep become more elusive as we age?
I am neither fat nor obese. In fact, I’m a former amateur bodybuilder. I have sleep apnea. It’s not so much weight as size of the neck.

I didn’t know either! On research, it appears to be highly toxic to DNA.

Agreed, it’s definitely not in line with their stated philosophy. Sadly, Mozilla has been drifting away from it more and more lately.

So I guess not in regular?

vGPU··on The Drums of War Are Growing Louder in South America
The mistake putin made can be easily summarized up in the following phrase: two weeks to stop the spread.

Turns out, war ain’t easy. Not against people, not against viruses.

After all, look at how well Afghanistan turned out for the USA.

Russia would never risk losing access to the Black Sea, as it’s the only year-round military port they have.

For that extremely obvious reason Russia would never allow NATO to control that region of Ukraine.

vGPU··on The Drums of War Are Growing Louder in South America
Sure, but with the situation in Ukraine rapidly deteriorating and likely heading into a push for a ceasefire - if not officially, then at least effectively over the winter - it would make for another ideal proxy war location in the “war of pawns”.

Both Russia and the US would greatly prefer to keep this at a Kabinettskriege level instead of escalating to full blown Volkskriege WW3.

vGPU··on New Outlook is good, both for yourself and 766 third parties
The point being that even the “Google version” is subject to carrier enshitification, which casts a bad light on android as a whole compared to Apple, who has never compromised on their “take it or leave it” stance with regards to their vision and product in discussions with carriers.
vGPU··on Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout?
Bots seem to be more prevalent everywhere. For example, I’d say roughly 3/4ths of the followers on my twitter are obvious bot accounts with names like battery48462628 and that have either no comments at all or random Chinese foods and city pictures with captions like “flowers are the spice of life”.

The trick would be to spend a few months making good comments and then have the AI go back and edit them with junk.

The problem is that the American government has shown time and time again that their interests are not in any way, shape, or form aligned with that of the public.

At this point, I’d trust a (likely) disinterested state actor over one that has been proven to be actively malicious.

And now just about every single android phone does the same thing. Even pixels are carrier locked. I have a 6A that I can’t root for 6 months.

Since windows 7 there has only been one usable version of windows: Enterprise/LTSC. After finally being forced to upgrade to windows 10 because I was starting to have too many issues with outdated drivers, it’s serviceable with a few scripts that disable the telemetry and other annoyances in group policy.

It’s a complex topic that would literally take a textbook to explain fully. How is that obtuse?
vGPU··on Brother have gotten to where they are now by not innovating
My fridge has a door open alarm, and I wish it didn’t. I have yet to be like “wow, I’m so glad my fridge is beeping at me while I try to decide if I want chicken or taco leftovers”.

Just spend the $150 on an omada eap670 and call it a day.

And it’s not just Japanese companies that manage to pull that off. Some others have managed to do the same. See: Lego, for example. They branched out into movies, games, and parks, but their primary and core product remains bricks.

Give it a rest. If you actually want to make an impact on pollution, stop buying cheap Chinese junk and campaign for a nuclear power plant.

For a more serious answer though, they just got acquired. Definitely a possibility that they were holding back on announcing bugs out of fear of harming the acquisition.

No. He was replying to this post:

The intricacies of why a crypto minor is less than 100% efficient when working as a heater are easily deduced, unless you’re precisely the sort of midwit that likes to leave replies such as the one you left.
