  • A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth

    Jump

  • The issue with serving urban is that they need more satellites with narrower beams to handle the higher density and resulting load. Yes, they fly over, but they don’t have the capacity.

  • LEO satellite internet service is life changing for people who live in underserviced, rural, and remote areas - but it’s a tragedy that it’s controlled by billionaires and the USA. Growth at all costs mindset cannot accept that they should exist only as an ISP of last resort, so they’re servicing urban areas and planning data centres.

  • Have you guys ever worked for Safeway?

  • Expecting excellent work for low pay is absolutely standard practice in retail. America destroyed their unions and look where it leaves you.

    They’re not blocking you from DoorDash, they’re doing staff optimization which is pretty standard in American retail and makes it so that their costs fluctuate with the level of business, rather than being flat. It is extremely anti-labour, because you never have a predictable schedule.

    Also, DoorDash isn’t really income. Subtract the IRS mileage deduction before you calculate your income. Spend the time picking up a trade or something.

  • Quadruple amputee cornhole champion facing murder charges in fatal shooting

    Jump

  • This is what I want to know. Americans shoot each other all the time, but quadruple amputees are rarer.

  • Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive

  • Is company chit still illegal if it’s a bonus?

  • Apple will reportedly start stuffing ads into the Maps app

    Jump

  • Yeah that also is awful. Can’t learn anything about the place without getting accidentally redirected to the App Store.

  • Apple will reportedly start stuffing ads into the Maps app

    Jump

  • I prefer Apple Maps because it’s not ad laden but the coverage for businesses simply isn’t there, and it is pretty aggressive about populating businesses that don’t really exist (ie the business registration not the place of business, if they have one eg Plumber who doesn’t have a shop), don’t exist in the category (eg a factory isn’t a retail establishment), or just plain don’t exist. It also likes to ignore the actual road name for directions; instead of “take the exit towards A361 Burford Rd”, it says “take the exit to Diddly Squat Market” because some street view scanner picked up a sign and chose the wrong one.

    If they start pushing ads, Google wins in “find me dinner nearby”.

  • Google tipped off authorities to illicit images in Canadian doctor's account, search warrants say

    Jump

  • That is the result of the search warrant, not the trigger.

  • Google tipped off authorities to illicit images in Canadian doctor's account, search warrants say

    Jump

  • I agree. We’ve seen this happening in the USA “yes technically they can do that but they would never”. Now we know better.

  • They’re suggesting it was automated hash based recognition.

    I don’t have a problem with CSAM hash matching.

  • BenQ Display Pilot 2 software now has a Linux version - OMG! Ubuntu

    Jump

  • Quite right

    On Linux, the software lets users assign the monitor’s coding and browser shortcut buttons to take actions without interrupting their flow.

    Ooh boy.

  • Japanese curry roux question

    Jump

  • Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies

    Jump

  • They’ve had feedback for years and ignored it.

    Then they asked copilot to write a blogpost to get adoption of win11 up.

  • Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations

    Jump

  • GenAI is the ultimate demoware. Bro, it’ll get better. Just look how good it is now.

  • It is now better than ever to find alternatives to fossil fuels, do you have any plans?

    Jump

  • I’m hoping that there will be a government scheme for solar panels, batteries, or the like soon and I’ll put up what I can

  • HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn't good support

    Jump

  • When was the last time HP was relevant?

  • PwC will say goodbye to staff who aren't convinced about AI

    Jump

  • Well, it’s not like PwC does stuff where anally-retentive levels of accuracy and precision are required, so I can see why they’d be all for AI. /s

    Deloitte and Arthur Andersen Accenture are saying the same things. Are KPMG and EY going the same route or looking for the market opportunity of “being correct” which I’ve heard is important in accountancy.

  • ReFS is better than NTFS, but Microsoft refuses to let regular users have it

    Jump

  • It could be Sco vs Linux all over again

  • TIL porcupines eat brake linings.

    Jump

  • I was wondering how they’d get to the brake linings aka pad/shoe material. They’re tenacious but there’s just not much room. Lines makes much more sense and is a lot more dangerous.
