Electricity here in Quebec is dirt cheap, state owned and 100% renewable. Our first 40 kWh per day is 7 cents per kWh which is roughly 0.05 USD. Any calculations I've done made it unfortunately useless to buy solar and instead favoured

The main problems from that Duo was that Microsoft didn't believe in it. This lead them to use a garbage CPU and support it for something like 2 years. Apple has the balls to keep updating the vision pro even after it flopped and it wi

The reason industrial PLCs cost so much is because of their reliability. They need to be working flawlessly 50 years in the future. Trying to vibe code your way into a PLC compiler feels like it could blow up in your face after a little whi

Maybe you're being sarcastic, but I'm pretty sure clang + gcc do offer these. The problems at first glance : - Not having control over the implementation detail of the interface that your library provides is probably not wise. Sou

You have no idea how deep this rabbit hole goes. Search for EFF printers secret tracking. Virtually all commercial printers embed an invisible identifier on every page printed.

What operating systems use SeL4? I know of the following: - GenodeOS - LionsOS - A chinese car maker was using it as a hypervisor in their cars, IIRC - What else? Are there any private deployments you guys are aware of?

Realistically, most smartphones are made by the same ODMs. Since they don't make their own screens, shells, CPUs or modems, the only thing being set apart is the software.

As the others have said, to me it seems to be the opposite. I went to Switzerland recently and was shocked at how kid friendly it was (very walkable, kid section in trains, parks with fun toys instead of shitty plastic statues). I also saw

But then you're using other methods, you're not using the ID as tracker. In fact if you just remove it, it eliminates this entire discussion.

You should be careful not to conflate viruses and CVEs. Considering no Linux distro come with an antivirus by default, Linux as a desktop was always extremely vulnerable to bad actors. As a server, I would argue otherwise.

Yeah, if the title was : Vibe coded SQL engine written in rust, I don't think much anger would be found in the comments. But then its credibility would be abysmally low, which makes it undesirable for the authors.

From a quick search online, the max brightness of your laptop is 400 nits SDR and 500 HDR. My M5 MacBook Pro is 1000 and 1500 nits. Screen brightness is not something I will compromise on after having a taste of greatness. I personally woul

You could just buy deep out of money SP500 puts expiring in 1+ year. That way you would be "insured" against the bubble popping. The thing is, every dollar you spend on insurance is a dollar (and its interest) you lose. Furthermor
