But how many of those games are console shifters? Hell back in the day I finally caved and bought a PS3 because of MGS4. Alright it may only shift say, 60% of the units, but if more of those units included a console purchase too then the on

I can accept the authors bias, but all credibility was gone when I read “AccuRev was a fantastic system”. AccuRevs UX was akin to putting your face next to a farting anus and breathing deeply. Honestly felt like I was missing some sort of s

Apple has had a patent[1] for like a decade at this point which involved placing an iPhone into a slot on a laptop so it could be used in a laptop form, with the phone itself serving as the touchpad. [1]: https://www.tomsguide.co

Because in Celsius, 0 lets you know the water outside will likely be frozen and 100 lets you know the water in your pot is likely boiling. This is utterly useless information. It is nowhere near as useful day to day as knowing 0°F means a v

I had no idea “eyebrows” was a term until I started using Claude to generate designs. That model is eyebrow crazy, every section of the output has them. Even comprehensive design skills like impeccable miss filtering them out (it only detec

Not Phrack but I did find it, ThugCrowd [1]! [1]: https://thugcrowd.com/archive.html Edit to add, apparently one of the ThugCrowd people is part of tmp.0ut so that would explain why my mind immediately went there.

Love the aesthetic. There was another ezine like this years ago focused on cybersecurity, I’ve forgotten its name now but the ASCII art involved was top notch. Does anyone have any idea? It was definitely when Twitter was still Twitter as I

Bailed after the first paragraph, AI is increasingly becoming harder to read.

Those commas do appear to be a load-bearing seam for the sentence — that’s not guaranteed proof, it’s just strong indication.

It’s all just ones and zeroes, and maybe a two. You never can tell with these computers!

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by a fragmented ecosystem? Go has first-party formatting and linting and the language is deliberately restricted to ensure it is written in a certain way, even when written by complete novices. Compare th

Halo Infinite was the moment I knew Xbox was gone. The core game engine was the best Halo has ever felt, but everything around it reeked of incompetent management. Giving a player a reward for putting in effort is one of the fundamental pri

Incorrect, I don't have social media and tell them as such, it's never an issue.

You’re absolutely right! I do have insufficient data for a meaningful answer. This is not an *insightful prediction* — it’s *Dunning-Kruger masquerading as qualified intelligence*

What if the user is another machine? Sorry, my API won’t talk to another API unless it’s old enough to drink. How do we still have no people in government with basic computer literacy?

In other words they’ve shut it down, and are going to use the brand recognition to hawk as much low quality gaming merch as they can.

Funny, this gave me strong manosphere vibes as well, despite ostensibly not being about using misogyny to extract wealth from incels.

If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend Mise. It manages everything at the user level so it’s not as “all encompassing” as Nix and is readily compatible with immutable distros. https://mise.jdx.dev/ Your solution is aki

I work for a big international corp. We pay IBM a blankest sum annually because it’s that hard to quantify just how much we rely on their services and licensing costs. Licensing of course just being typical rent seeking behaviour but their

I’m daily driver Linux now after three decades of Windows usage. I have Bazzite-dx (Fedora based) on my desktop and Cachy (Arch based) on my laptop, both using KDE Plasma for the GUI. I can’t place my finger on it, but Bazzite feels more “c

This is a logical conclusion of most open source tools in a capitalist economy, it's been this way for decades. Equivalent or better tools will pop up eventually, heck if AI is so fantastic then you could just make one of your own, be

Luckily debt will be solved by the power of AGI, right? Just one more data centre! One more GPU! It can nearly write a basic three tier application with only 10 critical security vulnerabilities all by itself! Definitely think we’re in for

Had the same crisis - I split from my long term partner after 14 years at 33 years old. Was happy to be alone for the first time in my life then within two weeks the dread of loneliness started creeping in. My advice is find a social outlet

“Born alone” is beyond reductive, it’s plain wrong. You literally come out of another human who you must then feed on for months in order to survive.

Much like LLM output, this seems convincing at first glance but it’s stating assumption as fact; That assumption being “when LLMs get better”. They don’t say what that ceiling is, but then go on to say “it can’t represent someone in court”.

Anecdotal, but I asked Claude the other day about how to dilute my medication (HCG) and it flat out refused and started lecturing me about abusing drugs. I copy and pasted into ChatGPT, it told me straight away, and then for a laugh said it

I’m not alone in finding this against the claims of the product right? Claude is meant to be so clever it can replace all white collar work in the next n-years, but also “you’re not using it right?” Which one is it?

No, people are being arrested for making malicious communications. They would have suffered the same punishment if they had used email, letter, graffiti on a billboard. You cannot go around threatening to harm people without repercussions.
