ChatGPT writes some of my code but I have yet to ever use Codex. I ask in chat for it to write one function at a time with pretty heavy constraints. If I like it then I copy it into my codebase. I've been very satisfied with the result

They would make more progress if they separated “give consumers the rights they deserve” from “save obsolete media”.

I have five PS5 discs from around launch. Gifts. It is such a pain finding them and putting them in only to download a patch anyway. I’d sell them but I don’t want to perpetuate them as a thing so I’ll likely just throw them away.

Sony has the numbers. If most people weren’t already digital only then they wouldn’t have pulled the trigger. This is a vocal minority fighting an already lost fight.

As someone who hasn’t purchased physical media in over a decade I find the current tempest in a teapot rather comical. My home is cozy, not large. I don’t want physical media taking up any space. I don’t sell. I have great internet. It’s co

I already own Dark Souls 3 but were I to purchase it again I’d still pick PlayStation over eBay. Even at this price point. I get I’m not the average consumer but I have money and discs are annoying.

If you aren’t rebooting a Linux box 15 to 30 times per year then you aren’t applying kernel security updates. I view uptime fanatics as walking security problems and assign an appropriately low trust value for their actions on computers in

Agreed. My problem is that every dental association I’m aware of recommends dental X-rays on an individual, clinically justified basis and not a regular schedule. There are very few dental scenarios requiring yearly X-rays. They do them to

I don’t like Taylor Swift music. My not liking it has no bearing on her obvious talent in the industry. I get people not liking GTA. Ignoring their obvious talent is silly.

I have no interest in maintaining a gaming PC but want to play indie games that don’t launch on console. I also have money. I’ve been considering it.

That is cool. I use a gps NTP server on my home network and live with sub-millisecond time sync. I’d go PTP but the equipment is a bit too expensive if the only value add is better time sync and I don’t need additional bandwidth. Prices com

I use it for home router, my laptop, several vms for various services, and on one vps I keep around should I need to quickly set something up. I keep a proxmox server for anything I can’t or won’t run on OpenBSD.

An article last year by him: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/cvsa-2025-international-... The writing style does seem a bit different.

It is amazing to me that people still answer their phone. If it isn’t my wife or kids then my phone has a silent ringtone. If your voice mail doesn’t successfully transcribe to text then I delete it without listening. I check my postal mail

I can only imagine this passing their “QA” because every dev there uses AI for every commit and therefore saw no issue.

Owing tax each year instead of overpaying solves this problem. As long as it’s less than $1000 you won’t pay any interest or fees.

Worked for me just now on mobile safari. You get the cloudflare human test but I just clicked the box and was in. This was despite accessing the site while vpn’d from home and using multiple adblockers.

The ipv8 one required all traffic on a network comprising 4 billion ips to go through one server. It was far from sensical.

I’m going to guess no one responding to me has actually tried connecting to an IPv6 only network because it works without incident. Will your apps? Who knows - apple hasn’t always been great at enforcing that.

> Also, notice how Android and iOS don't support turning off IPv4. You can trivially connect an iOS device via IPv6 only.

I think the article was wondering how many billion dollar bulldozers the world needs. My local hardware store sells a variety of axes. I myself am a happy ax user. I even replace them.
