My father uses them to record and share videos of some of his craft work, and they're actually pretty good for that. But that's a pretty niche use-case - the sort of thing you'd expect to work better as a minor product…
You realise that saying "they're producing and distributing child porn, not CSAM" doesn't actually make things better for SpaceX, don't you?
Full report here: https://aka.ms/SustainabilityReport2026 We're now halfway through the decade-long programme to become both carbon negative and water positive by 2030, so this is pretty embarrassing for MS. At the…
Certainly for vertebrates - hence animal cruelty & humane slaughter laws, etc. Recognition of invertebrate sentience, particularly crustaceans and molluscs, is increasingly accepted, but not yet reflected in their legal…
Was that ever verified? I know that detractors said that, but MS claimed that the copyright notice was only there to cover the utilities like ping.exe and finger.exe (which really were based on BSD). I think the older…
Good point - all those incandescent lamps must have put out huge amounts of heat. Similarly, the stereotypical giant plasma displays in old-school telco/ISP NOCs made for a properly toasty environment. I know one ISP in…
Honestly, picking up some shifts at a local coffee shop might help. Or doing some fine arts night classes. Or if he's lucky enough not to need to worry about money for a while, then spend half a year doing Peace Corps…
That actually sounds like the worst of all possible worlds! It's infrequent enough that most systems won't bother implementing it, but a big enough time difference that it absolutely must be handled correctly at the…
My recollection is that, from 1992-ish onwards, traditional 2400 and or 1200/75 modems actually became more expensive than 14k4. The reason being that the older standards were used for specific enterprise applications…
Possibly ozone, generated by the corona wire - the printer will have a filter which is only good for some (large) number of duty cycles. Very few domestic / small office printers will ever hit that number, but for a ~20…
Mandating that the analogue system be kept limping along in parallel would not be a cheaper alternative.
Should you not then take responsibility for the additional sick leave taken by your colleagues as a result of you exposing them to your infectious diseases? It's quite possible that the total sick leave you've caused is…
Why couldn't it have been penetrated with policy? As you note, Europe did this quite successfully with successively-tighter diesel emissions standards for new vehicles being introduced every few years since 1992. Other…
powertop to the rescue! https://github.com/fenrus75/powertop
In my experience, people do sometimes still use am/pm for whole hour times ("4pm"), especially in informal writing. But it would be beyond bizarre to write "3:59 pm"
"number used once" wouldn't be the first definition of that word which springs to mind for most people in the UK.
I suspect it was England and Wales only. It was never shown in NI, which had its own Milk Marketing Board. Scotland had a separate one too, so probably didn't get them either.
Oxford spelling, en-GB-oxendict, is a nice halfway house - it uses the same -ize spellings (where etymologically correct) as American English, but doesn't have the simplifications (eg. color->colour).…
He has clearly brought the company into disrepute. The appalled reaction of so many of their customers is ample evidence of that. It doesn't really matter how that's happened - it wouldn't be the donation that's the…
Does Swedish corporate law not have the concept of bringing the company into disrepute? In the European countries I'm familiar with, company directors are held to a higher standard precisely because they represent the…
They've lasted longer than I thought they would, especially after they were destabilised so badly by the initial (likely deliberately vindictive) layoffs back in 2023. It's such a pity - Bandcamp was hugely important in…
Why would you expect a Polish psychiatrist to understand the differences between different versions of a diagnostic manual used only in the US?
Exactly. People are genuinely angry that the social media giants seem to have known for years that their products are harmful. And, more so, that they've had a decade to reduce or mitigate the harms but have…
Not even the whole of the UK - really only England and Wales (as a singular entity, rather than individually). The rest of us know it only for its impenetrable jargon ("They've risked a woggle on the silly midden!"),…
Back then, I was working on a project for a mid-market investment bank which aimed to build a self-service platform to host more "standard" python apps whilst still allowing them some of the benefits of what TFA refers…
