  • What, why would a 10yo laptop struggle to play music? Or even a 20yo laptop, if the comic is a bit older already. Apart from the battery of course, but those take years to go tired, not decades.

    And with those RAM prices - I for one am happy with my 13yo laptop.

  • We have several types around in larger Helsinki, they are OK. And free. Of course they still require maintenance, but having been in cities that have no public toilets at all, this is simply a Good Thing.

    Another commenter was complaining about certain evil extra features, but apparently not all manufacturers do that, case in point above.

  • AI companies have basically pre-ordered a fuck ton of components that have not been manufactured yet to be put into computers that haven’t even been made yet for datacenters that are not even built yet all on an electrical grid that hasn’t caught up.

    Beautiful. The very definition of a bubble.

  • This is O'Rly, not O'Reilly. Somebody posted them here a while ago, had me laugh-scrolling for a long while.

  • Danish Prime Minister calls USA their most important ally 🤦

    Jump

  • What would you do if the biggest economy in the world is led by a narcissistic man-baby?

    Note how they (not only DK) always say USA, never Trump. It's their way of trying to appease both sides. As if that's ever worked.

  • The mighty and mythical Fubar!

  • India's proposed phone security rules that are worrying tech firms

    Jump

  • Yeah, both the proposal and the tech firms "worry" seem to be double-edged swords.

  • Just in case it slipped your eyes when you saw "Torvalds": this is not about the Linux kernel.

  • Points in Time

    Jump

  • Yet they are abundant, esp. with Linux GUIs. Every clock applet has a binary option: digital, analog, binary. And fuzzy, which is what the yellow-haired guy is doing.

  • Torvalds Tells Kernel Devs To Stop Debating AI Slop — Bad Actors Won't Follow the Rules Anyway

    Jump

  • As I said in private elsewhere, I do not want any kernel development documentation to be some AI statement. We have enough people on both sides of the "sky is falling" and "it's going to revolutionize software engineering", I don't want some kernel development docs to take either stance.

    It's why I strongly want this to be that "just a tool" statement.

    And the AI slop issue is NOT going to be solved with documentation, and anybody who thinks it is either just naive, or wants to "make a statement".

    Neither of which is a good reason for documentation.

  • You might be surprised at how many Flock cameras there are in your community. Many large and small municipalities around the country have signed deals with Flock for license plate readers to track the movement of all cars in their city. Even though these deals are signed by local police departments, oftentimes ICE also gains access.

    This is so dystopian, even before ICE comes into play.

    Because of their ubiquity, people are interested in finding out where and how many Flock cameras are in their community. One project that can help with this is the OUI-SPY, a small piece of open source hardware. The OUI-SPY runs on a cheap Arduino compatible chip called an ESP-32. There are multiple programs available for loading on the chip, such as “Flock You,” which allows people to detect Flock cameras and “Sky-Spy” to detect overhead drones. There’s also “BLE Detect,” which detects various Bluetooth signals including ones from Axon, Meta’s Ray-Bans that secretly record you, and more. (...)

    There are several more examples of apps, sites, inventions and FOSS community efforts to deal with surveillance, just read the article. As bad as the circumstances leading to it are, it's good that such projects get more public attention.

  • I think we're still in the "compare myself with great leaders" phase - but moving real fast toward the "a Trump portrait in every public space" phase.
