HP haven't always been this bad, but they are this bad now, and nobody should be giving them money.
'confusion'. Yeah, right. Not a single person was confused. You went for the cash grab and it blew up in your face.
Now you're going to go for slightly less cash grab and because it's 'better' and 'we listened' everyone is supposed to just accept it. Been here before..
I'm sure it'll be a stylised X with serifs on each corner.
Possibly on a red and white background.
I'd argue some magazines are basically ad pushers wrapped around a thin layer of minimum effort articles.
Hell, most of them, when I think about it.
Google, though.. ads are their core business.
That's convenient..
Well yes, but that stuff contained hydrazine. It's not that sensationalist.
I'm just surprised the people making it didn't get jail time.
Stick to sites you know. If you're looking for a review and you get a hit on a site you don't know there's a better than 50% chance it's just an ad generated site (and frequently these days just the output from chatgpt).
Sucks for lesser known sites that are trying to get noticed, but unless google work out a way of removing the crap from feeds that's the way it is.
Same with youtube.. unless you trust the reviewer, assume it's paid unless there's good evidence otherwise.
Search for reddit/lemmy mentions specifically.. although those can be astroturfed too.. but the comments are generally helpful.
I bet they're just scanning the barcode.. image recognition is way more expensive.
“As we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,”
But you're not doing the first half, so you can't do the second half..
Removing subsidies is a start.. they've never made any sense. If a company can't make money selling fuel then they must be the most incompetent company on earth.
This is just posturing for COP28 though.. makes good headlines but won't happen.. lots of countries talk tough before COP so they can claim it wasn't their fault when nothing is decided, again.
I was taught how punch cards work and that databases used direct disk access. In 1990.
In college (1995) we learned Cobol and Assembler. And Pre-Object oriented Ada (closer to early pascal than anything I can see on wiki today). C was the 'new thing' that was on the machines but we weren't allowed to use.
The curriculum has always been 20 years behind reality, especially in tech. Lecturers teach what they learned, not what is current. If you want to keep up you teach yourself.
Either those entities are registed as charities or they're not. From a quick google it seems they are, so Unity is (again) talking shit.
You have to murder the other participants to claim your free netflix subscription.
I wouldn't want to calculate what it'd cost to replace all my switches with 25G capable ones.. then all the network cards.. You'd have to have a really specific application to justify it.
Given the history of COP either one of two things will happen - (a) it gets rejected completely, citing some technicality like 'a bad comma in paragraph 36 that means the chinese delegate will never sign' or (b) it'll get agreed, then every country will proceed to completely ignore it.
“We do not share SAT scores or GPAs with Facebook or TikTok, and any other third parties using pixel or cookies,”
shows clear evidence that they do, in fact, share these things

Just before shutdown you're at the terminal so something like this https://github.com/stolk/imcat on the image at the end of shutdown script might work.
It gives google access to all the traffic statistics for users of chrome, not just those going via google. That's valuable marketing data. They also have made sure that nobody else can get that data - they have to buy it from google as they become the sole source of it.
That's why they want to do it.. nothing to do with 'privacy'.
You know which site you're getting it from..check the SSL certificate and that's enough. If an official site got breached it'd be found out pretty quickly.
You want your filesystems to be old and stable. It's new filesystems you want to view with suspicion.. not battle tested.
Yeah, no.. it's already overpriced.
Paramount + £6.99 Netflix £10.99 (standard) Youtube £12
Makes no sense.. they don't have anything like the production overheads. Stuff like Star Trek and Stranger Things are expensive. '10 greatest cat videos' is not.
Concision is a word, but most people use the term brevity.
There's also some stuff about interoperability which is partly why threads were making noises about the fediverse.
The requirement for reporting and blocking tools presents a problem for X, which has just removed those. Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Musk just pull out of the non-US market altogether . He's trying to turn it into a payment platform and doing that in every country simultaneously would be impossible.
It's gone further here.. we have shops with scanners so you scan the goods as you go around.. in theory speeding up checkout but..
Given the chronic understaffing meaning you're basically in a queue for attention, it frequently takes longer to get through the 'rapid' checkouts than it would if I simply queued up and got someone else to do it. But as far as the supermarket thinks they're winning as they pay fewer people.
Missed opportunity to talk about tar being a tape format that we just happen to use on disks too (so it's accessed linearly, and in fact if you cat two tar files together they make a valid tar file.. or you can create a multi volume tar file that'll prompt you to change the tape).
That's partly why I have a cheap chinese ebike (still wasn't cheap, but nothing like some of the silly numbers some manufacturers are quoting). The parts are all cobbled together from other chinese manufactures and are pretty much standard. If it breaks, I replace a bit (they sell most of the parts on their website), or upgrade it, depending how I feel. Nothing proprietary there at all.
Banking is all about regulations, backed by authorities with teeth.. and if his X 'vision' is to be met, regulations from multiple banking authorities around the world.. Elon has shown he hates regulations because they're biased against Nazis, or against him generally.
He wouldn't have a good time..
I don't get why the service centre isn't covering it in warranty, given the car should be able to handle rain (or even driving through floodwater) just fine and many Teslas do just that, including the many currently in Scotland. Clearly there was a fault that allowed water ingress to the battery.. eventually it would have failed anyway, just in normal weather.
The reaction is more likely 'It's still impossible. Just like we told you all the other times. Idiots.'
On the one hand I'd love a HUD which could, for example, remind me of the names of people I'd met before, or notes like 'remember to talk to fred about his shrubbery'. Or tell me which shops I'm looking at are open, or give me directions to my destination... or random shit like the name of the plant I'm currently looking at. You can do some of this with a phone but in-vision is so much more useful IMO.
OTOH the people capable of creating such technology are meta, google.. and I don't trust them one bit.
They ignored the objections to the proposal, pushed it directly into their tree and it's already live. I've had the prompt to enable it just today.
You always get a boost when Elon does something stupid but I'm not seeing anything unusual about this one.. 'soaring' is relative. Usual is 500-1000 an hour and we're currently at 1500.

That's kind of used in apps everywhere.. I can see why.
But not creating a symbolic link to 'firefox' when you install it, is a PITA. Apparently by design..
It's more about bing being built into windows I think.. but I suspect they may get away with it just because it has little market share despite being built into windows..
Ads pay miniscule amounts per view.. I've heard it said the £12/month sub is about hundreds of times what they get from ad revenue per user. So they spam them everywhere.. the more ads the better.
Which means people block the ads because they're obnoxious, and they make nothing..
Do we know yet if unity's plan won't work?
Games take 3-5 years to make.. you can't change engine mid-development so it'll literally be years before they see any negative impact - during which time they'll be making bank.
From their point of view that's a success.. shareholders care little about long term sustainability.
Not sure I'd die for democracy.. it's a popularity contest where 80 year old millionaires compete to see who looks best in a suit.
Freedom, sure. But that's not the same thing.
Like the ones on the 3 and Y that are literally the first things the people go for if you haven't told them where the open button is..
I mean, if you're functionally blind, you could argue they're hidden..
Hmm..
"last month saw a record number of ad blockers uninstalled—and also a record for new ad blocker installs"
So.. they simply switched to UBlock Origin?
