Note that the actual cause of failure in the NES was NOT the cartridge connector, but rather, the poorly implemented security chip. You can take a flaky NES, cut 1 pin on the security chip, and it will work near…
Just a note: the article focuses on the ladies, but men should absolutely get it as well because it cuts risk for other types of cancers. I was looking for a better link, however this is the only one I found (I had an…
I'm pretty sure I heard your groan from all the way over here in Nashville. ;)
GitHub == git, which is free. You can clone the repo and push it to wherever. No comment on the rest. I am just pointing out that using GitHub for source code doesn't mean mean that code can't be easily forked or used…
That's fine. The second I stopped caring, which is the day I stopped working for a living, I stopped worrying about what Google thinks. I don't use Google for email or search. (my email addresses are with proton,…
The "problem" is that people are looking for problems. This "problem" isn't specific to Bluesky, ATProto, or anything else. Look at any organization: profit, non-profit, group of volunteers, etc. and you'll always find…
Not really, Qwen 27b offloads to a decent gaming GPU (RTX 4090 in my case) without needing tons of RAM.
Honestly, anyone using Github as a basis for hiring to begin with is approaching hiring with flawed thinking. Github isn't the only source for git, and git isn't the only standard for version control. Further, Github…
Tell that to the folks on the front lines, along with folks on both sides, military or not, who have had to deal with it. Russia would never nuke Ukraine to begin with. They know that by doing so, most of the world…
oh no...not again...;)
There are detectors for VMs, and modifications to allow VMs to evade those detectors. It's an arms race. Example: There is (was? I don't actively follow the community) a patch set for a particular piece of VM software…
As someone who had actual passive income (small amount, a few hundred USD/mo) prior to my life being ruined by a medical accident: I agree (I killed my site because it was the right thing to do, I could not generate…
The solution to this is so simple that it would blow your mind. In regulated industries in the U.S. there is a law called "Know Your Customer" (KYC). If businesses actually made an effort to know their customers, they…
You fail to understand the problem, I suspect. Just because files are in bespoke folders, does NOT mean they are being backed up. Example: I'm 1,016% over my OneDrive limit because I canceled my Microsoft 365 account…
You are assuming that courts will shut this down. Guess what? The Supreme Court is responsible for these laws: https://publicinterestprivacy.org/paxton-age-verification/
With LLMs, this has become commonplace. Most folks don't realize how far real time video/audio generation has come. You should never ever trust the sound of a voice or a video call, pictures on a screen, etc. it can all…
I Googled the BDS Boycott list at a glance...the top link (https://bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS-Boycott) mentions a bunch of companies, including Sodastream. The immediate issue I see is that Sodastream is owned by…
Neat, and kudos! Reminds me of my young hobbyist days. I wish low level dev work was that approachable now. Back in the old days, it was REALLY easy to initialize VGA and throw pixels around in ASM, C, or C++. The 6502…
A lot of indie devs actually are fine with decompiling/viewing source. Even the STS2 devs have no issue with this. I think it is great and helps the indie dev community. Seeing this has actually made me excited about…
Semi-related note:I learned this morning that there are companies that offer in-home (non-cellular) phone service via wifi/the internet. Think: classic cordless phone, however the base station connects via wifi. Some of…
I see a ton of bickering, however, I simply have to ask the question: how can anyone justify the United States of America and Israel attacking ANY country? It isn't our job, nor is it Israel's, to try and be the world…
Care to clarify? Windows doesn't have fork or a fork equivalent...
> USPS delivered more than a billion packages for Amazon last year, close to 15% of all the packages that the Postal Service delivered in the country. Amazon’s guaranteed volumes have been a source of stability for the…
Definitely an unpopular opinion: The whole with the internet is anonymity. Keep in mind, I support an anonymous internet, however, political interests, corporate interests, hate groups, etc. are all using it to…
Hard disagree. In most countries, you can not anonymously trade stocks, for starters, where you can anonymously bet on Polymarket.
