I think Microsoft is the terminal state of a big tech company. Big tech companies will all eventually carcinize into Microsoft given enough time.

I do that, it seems like a self-reinforcing pattern I end up in after messing up my sleep schedule. I take a sleep aid (like Zzzquil) for a bit to get back on schedule. Caffine before 1pm or so helps too.

Algorithms and data structures aren't the problem, bundling Chromium to make a chat app is the problem. I think Rust's rise in popularity will probably lead to some benefits. Games will probably get more efficient but they're

I'd rather see some gobbledegook than extended pauses or idealized (read: fake) information. Those are specific tasks it is doing when you run that command, there's a simplicity to it. Not saying Lore's approach is bad, but s

I think that's true, but I am still frustrated with people who continue to use services that are openly hostile to them.

I think there's bigger fish to fry and it's hard to talk about when nothing matters to the people you're trying to convince.

If being user-hostile in tech created real consequences, Facebook would've shuttered 15 years ago. Sad to say but I'm guessing this is an effective strategy.

I don't know for sure but Bluetooth, WiFi and Zigbee are on the same frequency band. Z-Wave is not. (at least in the US, not sure about other countries)

If you are naive enough to believe that, the moment you create problems for your bosses, you can be fired and replaced by some other naive person.

Personally I would wish for streamlined regulatory processes rather than being okay with any Tom/Dick/Harry creating health hazards next door because they overestimated their ability to dispose of their own poop.

You can find places like that all over the world. They're slums. Maybe regulations put too much burden on homeownership but slums create huge issues as well. Basic plumbing shouldn't be taken for granted.

I find the type of show makes a big difference, finding something thoughtful is important (and hard). We also like to set a time limit, usually 1-2 episodes to make the transition easy. Also, no tablets, just commercial-free TV so we can wa

I run a Unifi Protect setup, local only. They don't provide a display, so I put a Raspberry Pi, a display, and an audio hat in an enclosure. It plays an rtsp stream from the camera at startup and works pretty well.

Don't let old software break, don't use VMs/containers, don't use versioning: Pick two Microsoft is the only company to pick all three. That's not strategy, that's indifference.

Better to have a strategy for software compatibility and evolution vs Microsoft's strategy of doing nothing. Pretty much every game console ever made still works with every game for that console, but when it's Windows you never kn

Open-source Linux is great at updating old software. Most other OSes (Android, MacOS, iOS, game consoles) rely on versioning, which makes it easier to provide compatibility layers or at least know when a piece of software just isn't su

Windows is roughly 25% of the gaming market and I don't know why you're bringing up Linux. I haven't ever had a console unable to play a game built for it, just Windows.

I guess your teachers failed you, since that's a hasty generalization (your experience isn't universal) and a non sequitur (defunding public schools wouldn't address the problem of poor schooling).

Somewhere in the 2010s, social media turned news into spam. I guess it was a long time coming, I remember news commercials in the 90s fear-baiting constantly, demanding you tune in at 11pm to find out more. I recommend Wikipedia frontpage,

I don't see how WebUSB makes that risk worse. At least I avoid making it easy and running somebody's firmware updater on my computer.

I get that you're trying to win the argument, but you're being opaque. Any ESP device I have isn't even connected to the Internet so I do control when it updates.

When did I do that? WebUSB gives a website access to a specific USB device, not my entire computer.
