There was an updater for iTunes or something for MacOS X that would wipe out your home directory if your hard disk had a space in its name. The default name for the Mac hard disk from the factory is “Macintosh HD”.

Microsoft’s thing takes a screenshot of everything on your screen and saves and indexes it. Opened up your password manager and revealed a password? Saved. Opened a porn site in a private tab in any browser aside from Edge? Saved. Opened up a private encrypted chat to try to get away from your abusive partner/parents? Saved and indexed. Logged into a portal at work showing HIPAA information? Saved and indexed.
Apple’s thing is basically a better search feature of all the data you already have saved, that apps have already opted-in to sharing. It runs on device, and Apple has promised they do not send the data back to train the models. They also have some generic ChatGPT-like tool to help rewrite your documents, but that’s 100% opt-in so nobody really cares about it, it’s easy to just not use.
It’s not that they got DDoSed, it’s that unregulated off-shore gambling is illegal in many countries, so their IP addresses were getting blocked in these countries. The way CDNs like CloudFlare work is that many customers share the IP addresses, so they were getting other CloudFlare customers blocked as well.
CF wanted them to move to a “bring your own IP” plan so that their IP blocks wouldn’t affect other customers, and that came with the steep price tag.
Japan doesn’t have enough electricity. After Fukushima, they lost most of their nuclear. The country is densely populated, and the parts that aren’t populated are covered in forested mountains, which all makes building the required amount of renewables very difficult. So today and in the future, Japan runs on coal and natural gas. So they make cars that run on hydrogen (which is more efficient to create out of their imported natural gas than burning the gas for electricity) and then sell those abroad greenwashed as “but you can produce hydrogen from green electricity!”
They changed that to appeal to Windows users, people who were raised on Windows are absolutely obsessed with full screening everything for some reason
What people call “demonetized” on YouTube is actually called “no or limited ads” inside of YouTube Studio. It’s not Google but the advertisers who don’t want their Coca-Cola ads shown on those videos. YouTube Premium views still pay out on those videos since they’re not ad views.
If everyone paid for YouTube Premium and didn’t use the ad-supported product, then advertiser boycotts would have no power.
Yep. And if you look at video platforms that actually have to pay for their own bandwidth (Floatplane by LTT), you’re going to end up paying $5 PER CREATOR. Hosting video on Vimeo is also super expensive.
Once Intel gets to 2nm
So in like 10 years from now?
The biggest spikes look like the correspond to new year. So my guess is that the spikes are vacations and show the difference between home PC and office PC usage.
You can see the same spikes on e.g. Googles IPv6 chart - when people are away from work IPv6 penetration goes up, when people are at work it goes down.
I’m already seeing people come into software dev support forums asking “ChatGPT said you could do this but it’s not compiling” and people replying that no, that’s not possible and them arguing about it because ChatGPT said it.
Once Elon Musk unleashes his “uncensored” AI chat bot, we’re going to be flooded with made-up misinformation, it’s going to be a bloodbath.
It’s such a Microsoft/IBM format. “Let’s use this structural wrapper format! And then just define a format inside one gigantic chunk inside it!”
When Apple had already created AIFF years before and actually used the structure of the wrapper to implement the metadata. And also adopted an open structural format that already existed on Amiga.
Well to begin with, it only has one control panel instead of like 3
I don’t have the article itself but they used https://subredditstats.com as a source, if you check some of the biggest subs on there you can see clearly in the charts the drop in posts and comments
such as the ability to quickly switch between different sets of Wi-Fi, Ethernet and other network settings depending on the location
They added that back in the x.1 update BTW
MySpace actually let you put in custom CSS and it was a huge free-for-all, everyone’s page looked completely different, and usually it was a tacky unreadable mess of hot pink comic sans text over a bright purple texture background, absolutely horrible but very charming. Facebook very explicitly in contrast allowed no customization at all as a reaction to how bad users could make their pages look.
And beyond the UEFI/boot stuff, it takes 10 minutes just for my ZFS pool to mount
Maybe the new Japanese maglev Chuo Shinkansen will help - they’ve already had Mitsubishi, Nippon Sharyo (JR) and Hitachi build test trains for them
Not just “US fuckers”. These countries have also announced plans to bring AC units: Great Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany, Japan, Greece, Denmark and Australia
