yehat··on Anti-AI fonts are useless and harmful
Dude, first choose a normal font for your blog.... duh
yehat··on AI companies destroy physical books – let's scan rare books before it's too late
Nobody will ask you, they'll be taken from you, in case you missed what happens around.
yehat··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
The context of the article is GPS jamming across Europe. I'm sure the north-west Black Sea is part of Europe.
yehat··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
A claim and "is believed" is not a fact. A fact is that many years prior introduction of that missile (no evidence of being mid-range), the US blocked all discussions about their heavy attack drones which effectively serve the same tasks as mid-range missiles. And the very ridiculous explanation about their mid-range missiles they claimed were built for training purposes, a.k.a "target-missiles". Then it came the question about MK-41 launcher of otherwise air or naval borne Tomahawks, which turned it immediately into a subject of INF (and thus forbidden). The fact that the Russians openly introduced the named missile (9M729), which nobody has seen or have proven has a range more than 500km, AND invited US to a demonstration and inspection of that missile, which US declined, because of course they had other plans ongoing and have already stated they want to leave INF. More can be added, but please stand the high-ground of a real research on that topic, before repeating the hollow US narrative. A dangerous one as always.

Well I like how "the community" downvotes a reasonable question. À la guerre comme à la guerre.
yehat··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
Who's theory is that? Is it proven by independent research?
yehat··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
"the community" is a very small privileged group, hope you know that.
yehat··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
source? trust me bro?
yehat··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
you think only Russia does GPS jamming?
yehat··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
Does ukrainians and romanians give a fuck, 'cause not many russians live in the north-west part of Black Sea? And the jamming there's from who?
yehat··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
If a search engine starts censoring by whatever means, I'll not be using it, neither free or paid no matter how good it is (and by definition it can't be). Shills can provide a list of countries they don't want to see, hopefully some crooked search engine will satisfy their desire for censorship.
yehat··on Two computers, one monitor, zero fiddling (2025)
Tell the dude there're software KVMs - Synergy, Barrier, DeskFlow, InputLeap. I'm with Barrier for many years and it solves many use cases.
yehat··on Google broke reCAPTCHA for de-googled Android users
Compliance is what makes all that shit possible. Sadly most people are compliant and made so by gradually increasing their dependency on "commodities" which really are anchors to a shit lake.
yehat··on A communist Apple II and fourteen years of not knowing what you're testing
I know there's predominant thinking that "communism" existed somewhere, but in fact it doesn't. It was the ideology developed in the West and brutally imported into the East. Why I say that and why it matters to understand the difference? Because there was no "communist" thinking behind the motivation to do whatever by the ordinary people. There was something deeper that manifested in a way that many people mistake for "communist" thinking. And that's natural, because people's thinking is not same in the West as in the East, and even more in far-East. Ok, enough on that, everyone's right to call it whatever they want, just pitching some clues that can help avoiding the cliché. My journey also started when first seeing IMKO-2 in 1984, then there was a popular magazine for the young "engineers" called "МЛАД КОНСТРУКТОР" (full archive here https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0Bw941VGG9Tjc... )that started publishing a course of BASIC. So I learned virtually and even wrote programs on paper before the first actual contact with the computer, which happened 1 year later on the newly acquired by my school couple of PRAVETZ-82.
yehat··on Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years?
I'm absolutely in exactly the same position (Pop_OS 22.04) and unwilling to upgrade to 24.04. Which I tried for many months on two spare machines - a laptop and a desktop. The difference is quite stark, there are positive things, but it doesn't feel "my" desktop for many reasons. On top the stability is not there yet. At the end of 22.04 road I hope to find something of similar quality, but really don't like to be forced to rely only on Wayland as dependency. One of my critical pieces of software (barrier/deskflow/input leap KVMs) is not working well with Wayland.
yehat··on Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years?
Wow here it shows who's politically motivated and like it or not Xlibre probably felt the same way. Some people cannot sleep or chill if it is not theirs world view.
yehat··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
Stockholm syndrome is so pity when detected.
yehat··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
Do you feel they're? As user, not as investor.
yehat··on I'm reluctant to verify my identity or age for any online services
"they"... sadly indeed the damage is done, but not by "them".
yehat··on RAM now represents 35 percent of bill of materials for HP PCs
Ahh, it is always China antagonizing others, isn't it? There's nothing wrong EU coming to absurd lengths in all directions that are leading to destruction of its economy and society only to please the narrative of few degraded groups of individuals. Yet, it is others that are the cause. Nice, easy story telling. All governments in the world turned to be on the dark side. But some are reaching new heights.
yehat··on CXMT has been offering DDR4 chips at about half the prevailing market rate
dude, you're way too excited. I understand your sentiment, but it applies for everyone these days. Just depends which propaganda you like more.
yehat··on Halt and Catch Fire: TV’s best drama you’ve probably never heard of (2021)
Netflix... thanks, I'll pass.
yehat··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
Amazing (not) how the sales data is represented LOL I don't have any sweetspot for EVs anyway, but here the title and the comments are not even related to EVs! It's all "ahahaha TESLA/Elon sucks" LOL Fine, but why pretend anything else - the "story" picked data like a cherrypicker - those that make the biggest number in negative. Anyone ever cared to look at the data? 2024 to 2026, or 2023 to 2026 whatever is greater (downwards)... what a joke of stats.
yehat··on LED lighting undermines visual performance unless supplemented by wider spectra
You're playing so defensive (for LEDs) wonder why - just to argue? If one uses the same logic - does anybody states that LED are GOOD for the health? What the lack of such statements means - they're bad, or have no effect? At the end - is it your business at all if I want to use incandescent lights, or CFLs, because I find them more suitable for my personal needs in MY home?
yehat··on LED lighting undermines visual performance unless supplemented by wider spectra
Sad to say, but concerning the PC, seems we're moving in that direction pretty fast.
yehat··on Linux boxes via SSH: suspended when disconected
I have issue with that balance cut off at $5. How one spends the entire balance then?
yehat··on Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices by 50% for DIY Laptops
I wish prices went only 50% more... I see 300+% on the market now.
yehat··on French supermarket's Christmas advert is worldwide hit (without AI) [video]
No matter how the ad is made, it is still an ad. What's probably more important is the message. And this one was dumb as a message and as a real bad advice contributing to the increasingly brainless population who nowadays believes they can go into woods and everything there is friendly if you smile enough.
yehat··on How elites could shape mass preferences as AI reduces persuasion costs
Well well... recent "feature" of X revealing the actual "actors" location of operation shows how much "Russian troll armies" are there.. turns out there're rather overwhelming Indian and Bangladesh armies working hard for who? Common, say it! And despite of that, while cheap, not that cheaper compared to when the "agentic" approach enters the game.
yehat··on India orders smartphone makers to preload state-owned cyber safety app
Sweet how the OP is about something that exactly corresponds to what EU wants badly too - chat control - but you decide to talk about Digital ID. OK wait a bit more, then your beautiful DID will start making more sense.
