Okay, nicotine is now a Schedule II drug. You need a prescription to buy anything with nicotine in it.
Also, Ubuntu is moving towards using snaps for everything so they're pretty much the successor to PPAs.
has dust changed
Dust. Dust never changes.
CUDA was there first and has established itself as the standard for GPGPU ("general purpose GPU" aka calculating non-graphics stuff on a graphics card). There are many software packages out there that only support CUDA, especially in the lucrative high-performance computing market.
Most software vendors have no intention of supporting more than one API since CUDA works and the market isn't competitive enough for someone to need to distinguish themselves though better API support.
Thus Nvidia have a lock on a market that regularly needs to buy expensive high-margin hardware and they don't want to share. So they made up a rule that nobody else is allowed to write out use something that makes CUDA software work with non-Nvidia GPUs.
That's anticompetitive but it remains to be seen if it's anticompetitive enough for the EU to step in.
You don't need to; the Brussels effect has you covered.
It's cheaper to sell phones with replaceable batteries worldwide than to design the same phone twice for different markets. So most major manufacturers will probably just sell EU-friendly phones everywhere just like when the EU required USB charging ports.
You can use a regex to do basic validation. That regex is .+@.+. Anything beyond that is a waste of time.
They are bad replicas of school bars. Except you can't use these to scroll the page and they use horizontal progress to express vertical progress. Everything they do could be done more effectively by having a visible scroll bar.
Or, if the team does allow refactoring as part of an unrelated PR, have clean commits that allow me to review what you did in logical steps.
If that's not how you worked on the change than you either rewrite the history to make it look like you did or you'll have to start over.
Wait until 2027 and buy a Sony then, I guess. They're the only manufacturer who consistently includes a headphone jack and starting in 2027 all phones sold in the EU have to have removable batteries. Yeah, it's pretty sad that that's the only option...
Remember: LLMs don't give you answers. They generate text that looks like answers. Whether that text actually contains a valid answer is not the LLM's problem.
The unibody MBPs were solid for the most part. From 2008 to 2012 Apple actually made really good, decently priced, upgradeable, virtually indestructible Unix workstations; I'll give them that.
Too bad they then made the Retina generation of MBPs, which dropped most of what made the unibodies great and turned them from Unix workhorses to overpriced prosumer devices. And that's where they lived ever since.
Heck, I even prefer the ultra-skeuomorphic textured-everything approach of Mountain Lion-era OS X over the current ultra-minimalist approach where everything is either a hairline or a big flat monocolored shape.
It actually makes it harder to parse the UI when a button, a text field, a label, and a random part of the window can look exactly the same. I'd rather take a file manager that tries to look like a 1980s hifi stereo.
Or you know, a reasonable middle ground.
Yes.
The game is reported to be fun and it comes with a whole bunch of CS1's most popular utility more built in. I think I can forgive it for not having content parity with every DLC ever released for the first one at launch.
To be fair, he also had an eye for good product design. Not the skills to implement it but the ability to see whether a design is good.
Of course he expressed this skill by yelling at his engineers and designers. A lot. Because he was an asshole.
Unbothered by typos. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
Then again, those 100 MB are usually mostly assets I want to look at or listen to. Certain websites contain 100 kB of text and pictures I want to look at and load 2 MB of JavaScript frameworks that add nothing to the usability of the site. Bonus points for automatically streaming a 20 MB video I don't want to watch while I look for one sentence's worth of information.
Don't look at it as a failure. Look at it as an any% speedrun.
The lack of a standard library is really the worst offender. Most of a given node_modules directory is filled with middleware to handle JS's lack of everything.
I wouldn't call the Framework "cheap". Its price is higher than other similarly-specced laptops. But in the long term you can save money by not having to buy a whole new laptop when it breaks or becomes obsolete. You can even take your old mainboard out and repurpose it as something else.
The MacBook is expensive to buy and has no upgrade path. macOS is sleek and well-designed and the M1/2/3 is a very capable CPU but saving money is not a thing you can expect to do here.
Both are reasonable choices depending on what your use case is.
It pretty much comes down to three things, all driven by their system's modularity:
Whether this is worth it is up to you. Anecdotally, I have to replace my current laptop because the keyboard is dying. The rest is still fine, it's just the keyboard. In hindsight, paying more upfront and being able to just order a new keyboard for fifty bucks would've saved me some money.
The flavor, for one. I tried it once and it tasted like ass.
Some of their points are technically correct, e.g. that mods can increase the support workload if they don't work properly.
Then again, even rudimentary mod support can mitigate that simply by displaying the fact that the game is modded in an appropriate place (like the start menu, log files, or the launcher if present). Then support can ask for that first and tell people to disable or uninstall their mods and call again. Boom, support workload reduced.
This is less possible with competitive multiplayer games but even there you might get away with something like a Stellaris-style checksum system. Simply declaring mods to be bad is just lazy.
I use interactive rebases to clean up the history of messy branches so they can be reviewed commit by commit, with each commit representing one logical unit or type of change.
Mind you, getting those wrong is a quick way to making commits disappear into nothingness. Still useful if you're careful. (Or you can just create a second temporary branch you can fall back onto of you need up your first once.)
Not even very surprising. The dark and/or broody scenes tend to be a lot less serious than they look. To give an example I saw: At last year's Wave Gotik Treffen (a huge goth event) there were plenty of posters for broody bands – and in between them there was one for the German Hevisaurus spinoff advertising their new song about bubblegum.
And then someone went around and put googly eyes on all the posters. That's also pretty on-brand for the scene.
I'm certain other judges will be stoked to see people cite this in future cases. "You can't punish me because other people did similar things and aren't part of this trial. Here's an earlier case where the court has decided that way."
This sounds nice on an abstract level but how do you implement communities with that?
I mean, if I don't want my regular persona connected with my Chuck Testa erotica that can be solved by having two domains and two POSSE stacks. Costs money but is easy enough in principle.
I might be perfectly fine with the same persona/domain being associated with both my work (Befunge enterprise software development) and my more normal hobbies (interpreting D&D characters as rappers). But the people interested in the hottest developments in two-dimensional ERP software will probably not be interested in my new article on how ill Illmater really is.
So how do I separate these? Tags don't seem powerful enough for this task; if I have to tag every article with every group of interested people then most posts will drown in tags and careless use of a tag might lead to the equivalent of posting an emphatic affirmation of LGBT rights to a version of Truth Social where the only form of moderation consists of raiding the offender's blog.
For that matter, how do you moderate POSSE? I can't come up with a reasonable way to do so.
In the end it seems that it's a really cool concept if used by renowned tech evangelists and just about nobody else.
I mean, on paper the S-400 and S-500 were very impressive and credibly so
They just didn't turn out to be that effective in reality.
You need to keep in mind that 2023 COVID is a different beast than 2020 COVID. The currently most common strains tend to be less hard on the body as the virus has started to adapt to human hosts.
I still wouldn't recommend people to go unvaccinated but it's not quite as suicidally irresponsible as it used to be. Still irresponsible, though.
"undertaken by Google to stop reviewers,
if notor at least make it more difficult,for reviewerstofrom easily installing"
That's still not great. You still end up with "make it more difficult from installing". How about "...undertaken by Google to make it impossible, or at least more difficult, for reviewers to install..."?
The Picard/Q duet version has saved the song for me: https://youtu.be/3KvWwJ6sh5s?si=YfbjaTox1K6UJsIw
Of course now I think the Carey version is just wrong. She doesn't even try to quote Shakespeare.
I think Latte-Dock has been unmaintained for some time now. It's a dead project and maybe doesn't even work properly with Plasma 6. So it's a good time to drop it.
All other things aside, which Logitech mouse are you talking about? Both my G Pro and my G 305 work out of the box. Logitech also advertises them as ChromeOS compatible and AFAIK the Logitech wireless dongles are USB HID compliant so seeing a Linux straight up refuse to interact with them sounds very weird.
Ugh. I just finished dealing with what turned out to be a simple configuration problem that took me three days because the tool's documentation sucked. Turned it in feeling bad only to hear that four other devs had previously failed to get it to work.
One important lesson on life is that everyone is bumbling around all the time. (Like me with autocorrect in the first version of this comment...)
Fork.
The parliament has spoken against "chat control" as well AFAIK. The Commission, however, is probably still trying to find a way to eliminate privacy in whichever way they can.
They could've sold Windows 2000 as Windows NT 5 and Windows Me as Windows 2000; that would've kept the "NT X" versioning scheme for the professional line and the year-based scheme for the consumer line.
But the versioning scheme for the NT line is all kinds of weird in general. Windows 7 is NT 6.1. Windows 8 is NT 6.2. So we've established that the product name is independent of the version now. That means that Windows 10 is NT... 10.0. Windows 11 is also NT 10.0.
Okay.
People are using their smartphones instead of their PCs. That hurts sales. So PCs need to behave more like smartphones, e.g. by being able to notify you of new messages at all times. Then people will surely ditch their smartphones again and buy laptops.
Intel, Microsoft et al never considered that that's fundamentally not how PCs should work.
Soon they will launch their new product, Copy of New Teams Classic (work or school) (2).
