Right? Obi-Wan: "Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time."

Should I point out the irony of this complaint being posted on a site with ads every other sentence and doesn't even show what the windows ads looks like?

It's a valid complaint and all I just laughed as I scrolled past all the blank "ad here" blocks to read the article.

Oh I didn't consider deleting my answers. Thanks for the good idea Barbra StackOverflow.

This sounds like a recipe for malicious compliance if I ever heard it.

Are they in front of green screens? Did he not even bother to come into the office to record this?

Not sure how support doesn't fall under "preserve, protect and defend" in every way that's meaningful

I'll take him at his word. I don't doubt he'd follow through with what he's saying.

But also the headline sucks. He has a heavy sarcasm to his voice like he's mocking liberal's and the media's portrayal of him and "rabid cheers" isn't how I would describe the sound of the reaction in the video.

Feels like the old php metric. PHP had a ton of great code and successful projects but it also attracted very bad devs as well as very inexperienced devs leading to a real quality problem.

Honestly kinda see thing in a lot of JavaScript applications these days. Brilliant code but also a ton of bad code to the point I get nervous opening a new project.

My point? It may be a tough pill but it's not the project framework that makes projects fail, it's how the project is run.

After waiting for the page to load, fighting through ads triggering redraws, dismissing cookie banners, closing the notification request...

It's a toss up.

It is. Until recently it actually still used the domain to serve assets.

Oooooh they were just looking for free labor! Pass

So we can explicitly graffiti videos but we can't add translations. 🤯

I want a upvote for sharing, down vote the concept button. I hate it.

As much as I hate it, think it's a terrible part for a free, open, and secure web; it's probably a solid business move based on the hype.

It's not the maga group Biden needs to convince. Doubling down when they're already all in doesn't mean much.

He's trying to win an election so it's the various "I don't want to vote for Biden so I'll vote for trump or not vote" in swing states people he needs to be moving. To those people, Trump trying to go on an unhinged Twitter tirade at a debate could be persuasive. At least that's what a lot of Dems, and according to this GOP, think is going to happen.

Textualism at it's finest

It was actually 3gb because operating systems have to reserve parts of the memory address space for other things. It's more difficult for all 32bit operating systems to address above 4gb just most implemented additional complexity much earlier because Linux runs on large servers and stuff. Windows actually had a way to switch over to support it in some versions too. Probably the NT kernels that where also running on servers.

A quick skim of the Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for understanding the old problem.

Adjustment being a euphemism for a market crash. 🤣

Someone's been training on business pages without actually understanding it.

As someone using various wireless standards over over twenty years and in IT dealing with wifi instability on basically a daily basis. No.

Wifi is a series of compromises to be convenient. It's "good enough" for most of those but generally and increasingly in newer standards, the compromise is to drop stability for things speed. You'll see this to be the case in a lot of professional wifi gear that will transfer you to a lower standard if it sees weaker signals to improve stability.

To make that concrete, a problem with wifi in an office is an embarrassing "I'll call back on my phone" but a factory floor that could be millions of dollars of downtime to restart an entire chain of machines. Hardened industrial wiring and connections is well established and wifi is just not at that level. The poorly formed example of the robot was trying to convey their intention to start addressing that level of hardening.

All that said, based on my experience reading ieee articles this is all exaggerated. in reality we're probably just getting more stable video calls at higher bandwidths. Still a win for the help desk techs everywhere and people with a heavy wall making Netflix flaky.

I don't know if there could have been a comment that sums up the problem. To this person Netflix is no longer a product; it's not about the best content or the best experience anymore. It's about getting your buck.

Netflix used to have the best content online at the best price. It now has neither and I don't know how anyone still rationalizes subscribing.

Also twitch. Yuck...

Probably some great devs on the market for anyone hiring though.

We believe in free speech no matter what.

Cool, I'm going to say things that challenge your authority.

We need to look at the "intentions" of the speaker. And by we I mean me.


I believe in the text of the law. We need to look no further than the meaning of the words.

The wording of this law challenges your groups hold on power.

We really need to look at the intentions of the writers of this law. And be we I mean me and by writer I mean what I would have meant.


Weird.... Wonder what's going on here

As a pedestrian in one of the mentioned cities, this is accurate. We have an ok bus network but the schedules are terrible and getting around on foot is dangerous and it's like 100 degrees out with 90% humidity. Very few people put up with it and literally no one will because of this.

Is musk really intelligent? He's not dumb but honestly seems like most of his success is from buying things and or getting smart people under him who are able to succeed despite his medlling. The ideas he forces through tend to be bad. Giga factory was largely a disaster and he had to relearn manufacturing. Giga casting? Dead. A lot of the super heavy stuff he's directly influenced failed or are drawing out the timeline as the struggle to address. Cybertruck and semi...

INAL but my understanding was a lot of the fines and penalties hung on IE being part of the OS. I think it was the update functionality but don't quote me.

So with some legal technicalities, later versions of windows made it "not" part of the OS just a bundled application. A legal distinction without meaning but it meant they didn't need to do these things anymore.

Preserve, protect, defend. Didn't say anything about upholding or abiding by so everything's fine, what's the big deal? 😵‍💫

No need to downvote this. It's an insidery technically correct statement. We've redefined how we measure Moore's law several times to make it "keep working" and some people designing chips, not selling them, think it's not only outlined it's usefulness but also not true anymore.

Looks at gdpr Looks at new law Looks at gdpr Looks at security questionnaires from EU companies Looks at new law

Well past time to take up farming.

Thanks Aaron Swartz! Reddit might not be working out but RSS has the staying power.

I don't know. The sensor stuff sounds pretty gross but the assistants are already listening all the time so they probably got a good understanding of the battery usage and hopefully privacy and later they point out they've made significant battery life improvements.

The Bluetooth find my device stuff is icky but I'm using my Bluetooth basically 24/7 so the auto re-enable settings means nothing to me. I honestly think most people turn it off and get annoyed later when it's not on so that's probably a pretty compelling improvement for them.

There were some security wins too like the private app area, encrypted network controls and network monitor warnings.

So privacy dead? No it's basically the same. kinda just another megh update from Android. Moving forward but not wowing anyone. Google is too busy putting all their resources into ruining their trusted search reputation by making it lie to everyone to invest in a real android update.

I wish someone would shake up the phone market again so we could look forward to these updates again.

No it's a set of tools you can use to run a project.

My point is that a lot of people use "agile" to mean not planning or don't put guard rails on scope and they fail. That's not agile, it's just bad PM

Some of us remember win modems and their ability to kill your computer by tying your network performance to your CPU usage. Good times...

I've seen a lot of contractors over promising timelines too. "No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can't increase the speed of light."

But yeah exactly.

Thanks for that.

Its a weird that the couldn't just choose to back port the fixes that have security implications even if it wouldn't deserve a cve.

That's probably HPE. The companies split a while back

Completely different companies. In 2015 HP became HP Inc keeping consumer products like printers and laptops and HPE split taking servers and business stuff. I assume lap equipment went to HPE as well but couldn't find anything on a quick search.

Have an open mind. It's 2024 for crying out loud. If they identify as a bird then of course they use birds rooms.

The sensor stuff for the adaptive vibration? The first screen in that section of the video is a big feature card like they put in the upgrade tours which let's you turn it on or off.

IANAL but I thought removing non-PII mostly boiled down to risk since gdpr has big teeth. With a lot of money on the table and a licence attached to post they may feel it's worth pursuing. They've probably been setting up protections for this for a while.

Buy a ticket to mars. Problem solved.
