Are any of the Chromium-based browsers going to retain manifest v2, or are they all stuck with neutered extensions? A quick search says even Vivaldi is going to lose v2 support later this year. Brave and Edge are non-starters.

Mozilla seems to have forgotten that they survived Chrome by being overtly, explicitly privacy-focused. They've since stopped being that. Even if they are still tacitly privacy-focused, that's not good enough anymore. We assume

If so, their execution of that change is terrible. They could have explicitly clarified things, replacing "sell" with more expansive language that would maintain the explicit commitment to user privacy. But instead they changed

I'm in the U.S. and doing the same. While EU laws don't protect me as well as they would someone on the correct side of the pond, I do still benefit from better integrity and transparency. Would you be up for making recommendatio

A lot of people are so brainwashed by U.S. propaganda they cannot comprehend that American billionaires are independently evil. Add to that the fanboyism where his sycophants can't see how utterly rotten Musk is and always has been. T

They can't grasp that miscarriages, which occur for many reasons even in healthy people, have exactly the same emergent medical care needs as abortions. Laws banning abortions usually also interfere with (if not outright block) access

My main concern is the same as with electronic gear levers/selectors, electric parking brakes, steer by wire, and throttle by wire: What happens when the car has a failure that kills all the electrics? That's a much more common fa

Also worth noting that such sites technically are piracy. I am not making any moral or ethical assertions about it, but people need to know that so they can make an informed decision before doing so. And no, it's not inherently obvio

The real cost will play out over years after Trump's term. When funding cuts like this hit, researchers and programs decide to find homes elsewhere with better funding. Cuts like this cause current and future talent loss that is very

With the added complication that the controller should be kept cool, but the flash should run warm. The NVMe drives in my servers have these little aluminium cases on them as part of the hotswap assembly. They manage the temperature differ

IME heat is a significant factor with spindle drives. People will buy enterprise-class drives, then stick them in enclosures and computer cases that don't flow much air over it, leading to the motor and logic board getting much warmer

This seems to yield only the summary, not the full paper?

The thing I find most worrisome is that Musk, as part of SpaceX, was denied security clearance because of his extensive foreign ties. Now he has effectively-unsupervised access to the entire federal system.

It can be really hard to understand why people do what they do. But I do know from personal experience that shelter insecurity is one of those pervasive stressors that makes everything difficult. Maybe their phone getting screwed up was the

Your reply is completely uncalled for. I hope you're able to get professional help for whatever it is in your life that drove you to be this callous toward someone.

For me it's that it's all so obviously a grift. With crypto there was at least some legitimate value to blockchains. ML is a valid science and has led to major breakthroughs in other sciences. But AGI/genAI LLMs come across

The first guitar has one of the strings end at the sound hole, and six tuning knobs for five strings. The second has similar problems: it has tuning knobs with missing winding posts, then five strings becoming four at the bridge. It also ha

I write bespoke software on this basis. There is a significant market for custom software in specialized industries. Security scopes, capitalisation rules, tax and privacy laws, etc., rule SaaS and subscriptions out for a lot of businesses

It needs to be opt-in, not opt-out. Opt-out assumes consumer knowledge of the option, which has been repeatedly proven an unrealistic expectation.

Plus there's the unsprung mass. At least traditionally part of suspension performance is reducing the unsprung mass as much as possible because mass and spring rate inversely correlate.

I made a good living in the 90s going to orgs with "network problems" and fixing things. One of the most common problems was a coax ethernet network that had outgrown itself. The fix was installing a 10bT/100bTX switch, insta

Given that LLMs aren't able to properly understand code, would it be feasible and useful to create AI honeypots? For example, add some dead code that contains an obvious bug (like a buffer overflow). The scanbots catch it, submit the P
