What does your vibe-coded-in-C browser do to mitigate this kind of exploit?

We're exactly in that era of insanity that someone will use agent drivel development to cobble together a browser from existing browser sources in exchange for thousands of dollars of compute. Will it be standards conformant? No. Wil

It's likely that regular Fastmail users are subsidising their AI costs. I've talked to several people who were a bit shocked when Fastmail decided to complicate their offering with the current hyped trash.

Online tools to simplify this process like Perseus have existed for at least 15 years, and you could view original texts side by side with English for comparison, and original words have all their cross-references hyperlinked etc. All maint

I have to wonder if some online stores have been drip selling stock, trying to sell at the top of the market. A few extra $k on thousands of units from a day-to-day price change is probably tempting for small pc part businesses.

13th gen, and they still have VGA out? Amazing. The only thing I've found that's annoying with these POS/Office builds across various brands and models from 2013-2017 is the PSUs are less reliable and end up failing if you&#x

From people who have been using Linux since the 90s, the long term view is that nvidia has always been mostly fine since the early 2000s for hw acceleration if you didn't mind a binary blob. Yes, there have always been driver bugs - b
