This actually isn't even writing data to the disk, it's exploiting a bug in the Windows 11 storage subsystem to run up the drive's firmware's count of bytes written without performing any actual writes in order to…
Not even an ADB-to-USB dongle?
Didn't you hear? The author of this daemon is going around and forcibly installing it on anyone's computer that has soldered memory and an Nvidia GPU. I heard even he brings a Ludovico-technique chair with him and…
Dude, are you for real? We've had the supposed inevitability of AI rammed down our throats since the minute LaMDA convinced Blake Lemoine it was sentient, we've watched CEOs hype up AI as if it were production-ready…
Oh yeah, I love having to manage sync conflicts in my password database because I was dumb enough to edit it on two separate computers that weren't both online at the same time.

GOG has a Steam-like client application that you can use instead of downloading the installers (which, in the case of Cyberpunk 2077, would be more convenient because its installer is in 28 parts, with another 11 for…
Let me guess, you think GOG was perfectly justified in unilaterally taking away nake89's copy of--excuse me, I meant unilaterally revoking nake89's license to play Cyberpunk 2077--when they judged the gift transaction…
And if they were releasing Cowork for RSX-11M, that might be relevant.
As a native English speaker who learned a foreign language (German) in high school, I have a pet theory about this, which is that I suspect most other languages use a word roughly equivalent to English "appear" (with…
Hi, American here and "how" + "to look like" makes my teeth itch. However, people generally find grammar corrections to be needlessly pedantic when the erroneous grammar does not impede comprehension, so I've personally…
I mean, if you want to be like that, you could generalize that statement to "the fact that they believe there to be a single `$LANGUAGE_OR_REGION` accent means this can be quickly discounted as nonsense". Other…
Agreed. Immersion in a game world, at least for me, is less about how accurately it visually reflects reality and more about how detailed the overall world feels -- whether the designers have crafted worlds that feel…

The game came first, and the TV shows were spun off from it, which is probably why the game feels more fully developed. It grew into a whole media franchise -- there were Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and Where…
There's a collection of images returned by the various Venera probes (including the surface photos from Venera-9, -10, -13, and -14) restored from tapes of the original transmissions here:…

Can't speak for any other Americans, but for me, the objection is rooted in having to watch a video at all. Reading the subtitles in a video is still more time-consuming than reading a transcript (which, mercifully,…

Personal satisfaction, like exposure, is not legal tender.
Unless you're a scientist or researcher in a field that would be performing research at McMurdo, your best bet is probably to apply for a support position with one of the organizations or parner institutions listed…
I think the The Expanse's TV adaptation turned out so well thanks in large part to the involvement of the original authors as writers and producers on the show.
