Lot's of enterprises are enabling whitelisting of apps launching using some sort of tooling - I think Microsoft provides one, and CrowdStrike etc. It's likely the delay involves a call to a backend application or even sometimes a

I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around how this could work for PCs today. I'm guessing Intel/AMD could integrate a single SSD controller that OEMs could use for a specially socketed SSD? I'm not familiar enough

Absolutely agree on the dumbing down. I'm guessing it's getting heavy use, for many it's probably the default thing to go to - so an easy target for cost optimization. Mine will randomly go "Here's some driving tune

Why would they? It's basic privacy no? Just because I want to pay money to carrier to provide me with data and phone service, I shouldn't have to give up my location from my device. I expect them to know my approximate location f

Yes - but perpetual purchases have an interesting gotcha that Microsoft didn't realise at first. To encourage subscription over perpetual, ongoing or evergreen updates are limited to subscription version. Office 2024 has every feature

Can't comment on quality - but I think it's more nuanced than adjusted too high. Was getting a lift from a friend in a less than 1 year old Yaris cross. Noticed many cars flashing us on a short flat drive home - assumed it was hea

I've seen some theories or maybe more like guesses as to how the paywall bypass works - I don't think anyone (or at least no one posting places like here) seems to know. One I saw suggested they've a set of subscriptions to t

I'm thinking they considered this strongly, since that's what they did with the steam deck. We don't know price yet, but if it's like the deck they'll be trying to keep it as cheap as possible. The deck supposedly w

The public outcry was to ban cars - literally. They blocked streets, and did what they needed to to block drivers and vehicles. It's long enough ago that maybe the abrasiveness and confrontational nature of it is forgotten now - lots o

Yes - I'm running a LM Studio on windows on a 6800xt, and everything works more-or-less out of the box using always using Vulkan llama.cpp on the gpu I believe. There's also ROCm. That's not working for me in LM Studio at the

Microsoft.com and Office.com used to be entirely built upon SharePoint, as SharePoint solutions. It was to prove it out as possible, eat your own dogfood. I think the shift away started in 2013 or 2014, but you can imagine the throw away ef

Something not touched on by others. The standard Microsoft contract outlawed any moonlighting for years, any code you created was potentially going to be claimed by Microsoft - so you didn't feel safe working on side projects or contri

CodeFlow lives on and is still held in high regard. It's even made it's way to support the github repos, not just git. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/codeflow/aphnoipoco... Still buried as inte

This wasn't my first impression of this, but the more I heard this dicussed the more I'm forming an opinion that there might be some intentional parts of this that while maybe not being good, make sense from a certain narrow persp

I find frequently the smaller and simpler the subject, the more people can easily confidently grasp it and generate quick to share opinions. Noticed this with Code Reviews. To a point, the smaller the code change, the more comments and inpu

I think the market is very limited for high end iGPUs in practice with the compromises that occur with them. On Desktop, upgradability is very popular and obviously the returns from the cooling on discrete GPUs are immense. With GPU dies co

It's a deep and complicated part of history, but I think calling out a single main problem really risks skipping over the depth and scale of the problems. Scattered points - but during the famine to earn 'wage' of insufficien

I suppose it's dissapointing that the 6800xt launched over 4 years ago at $649 with 16gb as welll. Inflation can partly explain this, buts still - we had been used to progress across the board each generation previously, at least with

Roundabouts with traffic lights are a bit of a failure alright - and the larger ones are i'd argue not roundabouts at all - they just share the shape. I believe traffic lights are always trying to solve a capacity issue - where the rou

Not really. You can walk to your car, hop in and drive out anytime. They just have security to check who is coming and going, not to stop anyone. Better still, you can cycle out with their rental bike no problem. Thetford is a nice cycle f

Microsoft competes directly CrowdStrike with Defender across multiple areas - I'm not sure they recommend them to customer over their own products at the cost of losing sales. I don't think Microsoft is realistically in a position

I'm no so sure, it at least looked like it was tumbling before and throughout re-entry. If they had attitude control, I think they would have at least stopped the visible rotation at some point before re-entry? I'm not sure why th

But many subreddits took a vote before taking action, so it's not like the moderators did this out of the blue. The subreddit model seems to me to work as a combination of moderators setting and enforcing some rules, users submitting

I think it's emissions and range rankings. When you are trying to shave off every last bit of weight to get your car into a lower emissions class, the spare wheel looks like a waste. Why not leave it out, the owner can always put it ba

Does Manhattan suffer from heat soak in the underground? I know in London, the Underground has generated so much heat over so many years, it no longer cools in Summer but instead retains heat overnight meaning it's sweltering even deep

Some of this is expectations and how you train your users I think. I know at least in my experience, running a Windows machine I can get random prompts to sign-in at random times from Outlook, Team, Visual Studio for Azure resources, from p

I think that was for a simpler problem, that shared urls were not unique enough, and could be guessed or brute forced to get random peoples shared items. The articles published by google seemed to warn that there was an expectation gap on t

Interesting to me that even what initially looks to someone largely ignorant to aerodynamics like me as a very low effort design, like the Nissan Leaf, actually has some fancy aero design hiding in plain sight. The handles are distinctly no

This case is a bit tangentially related when it comes to the solution. Sure, right to repair at it's most basic isn't going to make Tesla make this more repairable, or perform the repair in that way. Since they view the battery un
