The smartest minds in all of tech worked overtime to finally give computers the ability to lie to us. Excelsior!

This seems very much in the wheelhouse of clandestine agencies like the CIA and the FSB. Use front companies to modify the perceptions of reality by doing things like shifting the Overton window of currently discussed topics, preparing cus

It's been a long time, but when I built my Win 10 machine (~2016) it was possible to purchase an "OEM" install disc on Amazon. I believe that's the LTSC version. I do see one for Win 11, but the product listing is seve

What are some of the add-ons that you run on the server? We run ours in a pretty bare-bones manner so I'm interested to hear what you're doing.

Thanks! And in case anyone ELSE is still following this thread, I should have mentioned these guys from the outset. They're from Finland, naturally... Turmion Katilot

Holy shit, this is great. VAND3ST is beastly. Finishing Move too. Thank you so much.

“System Overload” is a banger. If that had some Nile-style double bass drum programming, that’s where my head is heading.

A friend at work got me into EC recently. I’m into it, they’ve got good sensibilities. Celldweller, is another group I have in mind. Less purely mechanical than Ministry or Fear Factory.

Thanks! ‘Die By My Hand’ is close to what I have in mind.

I've got a particular itch that's difficult to scratch, and I'm not seeing anything on this site that reflects the genre. I've heard it as 'metalstep' but I'm sure there are other names for it. Very aggre

Very true, the act of unsubscribing itself signifies that the email is still live; more bad faith. As to why not sell it to a new vendor, because that would allow them to check a box that says “we offer a feature that allows users to opt o

I refuse to believe that “someone just forgot” to implement a user-friendly feature whose omission coincidentally benefits their company. It is not a coincidence, and it was not done unintentionally. The same way that it is not a coincide

Agreed. Any time I click an “Unsubscribe” link in an email, that takes me to a site where I have to provide my email or indeed, do anything more than click “confirm,” I leave. I assume it either resets some kind of consent trigger or sell

"I always liked the hand drawings of people referred to in the stories." I did too. It was distinctive, tasteful, and understated. The style is called Hedcut: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedcut

"It would be difficult for modern readers to accept the text-only version of a newspaper." I can think of few things that would give me more pleasure. Perhaps I am not sufficiently "modern."

If I recall, that was exactly what happened early on in DOGE's tenure. Senior personnel were explicitly directed to grant admin access to DOGE personnel, and auditing/logging were disabled. This was widely reported at the time.

Obsidian does this. It displays the raw Markdown for the line under the cursor, and renders the marked down content everywhere else in the document.

Agreed. Main box is 10+ years i5-4770K, I think. 16 GB RAM, GTX 1080. Runs Debian Trixie + KDE, Spotify, VS Code, docker, Steam, etc just fine.

I used this when I took a sightseeing trip to the Soo Locks, so that I could plan the best time to see the ships. Pretty cool zooming in from a global view to a single ship sitting right in front of me.

I agree with this sentiment. When I hear "ChatGPT says..." on some topic at work, I interpret that as "Let me google that for you, only I neither care nor respect you enough to bother confirming that that answer is correct.&q

The way I see it is, it doesn't matter if I'm willing to pay for shit content/presentation or not. This discussion is not about what is good for customers, or for news consumers in general. It is about what is good for publ

I don't have a good answer for why they haven't already. I have wondered about the possibility of doing this for 10 years or more. "The data that on-air personalities are too expensive?" It doesn't seem to me , fo

I don't quite follow this point. Master Chief is recognizable. So is Lara Croft. So is Darth Vader's voice. Networks could easily develop virtual personalities with distinctive, bankable, appealing characteristics. They wouldn

The cost of operating television studios and paying related staff, including on-air talent, is probably significant. I can easily see major news networks turning to AI-generated newsreaders. TikTok is already full of AI voiceovers; seems

And 25 years later, a significant portion of the issues in that whitepaper remain unresolved. They were still shitting on people like Jeffrey Snover who were making attempts to provide more scalable management technologies. Such a clown s

This may be an important clue for something that happened recently in our environment. We configured a bunch of database service SPNs and immediately all Kerberos auth failed. Rolled it back and talked to our support provider. They said
