I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • How cold should ones freezer be?

    Jump

  • That's actually around -18°C (to -23°C)

    So it is in line with everyone else

  • Self-Driving Tesla Fails School Bus Test, Hitting Child-Size Dummies… Meanwhile, Robo-Taxis Hit the Road in 2 Weeks.

    Jump

  • I believe Waymo has a better set of sensors (Lidar + Radar+ Cameras instead of just cameras), more processing power, and more research / time / resources spent on it compared to Tesla.

    So it's not that we aren't ready for self driving taxis, but rather about which cars are ready to provide that service

  • Do you have a cat cafe or shelter/rescue nearby?

    It's not the same thing, but it might quench your thirst somewhat

  • Where hyperscale hardware goes to retire: Ars visits a very big ITAD site

    Jump

  • A big part of this site's pitch to its clients, including the "hyperscale" customers with gigantic data centers nearby, is that each device is labeled, tracked, and inventoried for its drives—both obvious and hidden—and is either securely wiped or destroyed. The process, commonly called ITAD, is used by larger businesses, especially when they upgrade fleets of servers or workers' devices. ITAD providers ensure all the old gear is wiped clean, then resold, repurposed, recycled, or destroyed.

  • You can't "skill issue" yourself out from every situation

    Jump

  • There's a quote along the lines of "User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design"

    Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I'd say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it's a design problem

  • Has anyone created an AI tarpit for images yet?

    Jump

  • It might be easier to make a few images with some anti-AI patterns, and then give them randomly generated file names and paths. If needed, you could do some subtle transformations each time but generating a new image each time might be more effort than its worth

  • This blog is hosted on a Nintendo Wii [2025-04-21]

    Jump

  • We haven't hugged the Wii to death yet

  • Alternatives to MZLA Pocket?

    Jump
  • Removed

    Microsoft bans words like "Palestine", "Gaza" and "Genocide" in all company emails and fires the employee who protested Microsoft during event.

  • Mood

    Jump

  • I read this as 'car' and it almost made sense that way too

  • "Subscribe pending" after importing into a new account

    Jump

  • This was a UI bug a while back, and it might still be present in cases like account imports. Maybe someone can make a bug report / GitHub issue about it

    There is no other method from what I can tell. Until it's fixed, I guess someone can write a script that does the same action to quickly go through your list and fix it

  • Useful guide

    Jump

  • The text has an AI vibe to it, I can't find the words for what tips me off when I see it

  • Best tool for creating a basic business website

  • Trakt to increase prices to $60 for all users, including those on legacy, promotional, and grandfathered pricing

    Jump

  • Trakt to increase prices to $60 for all users, including those on legacy, promotional, and grandfathered pricing

    Jump

  • A 2x price increase (or more for people who are on discounted or grandfathered plans) will likely get people to reevaluate if they really need the service. Based on the comments so far, it looks like a lot of people already have dropped it

  • Trakt to increase prices to $60 for all users, including those on legacy, promotional, and grandfathered pricing

    Jump

  • Trakt to increase prices to $60 for all users, including those on legacy, promotional, and grandfathered pricing

    Jump

  • It tracks watch history and allows you to build lists, in a way that should integrate with other services. How well it does that is questionable

    Some people might still be using it out of habit or loyalty, but a $30 price jump might change that
