This is one of those situations where it once again shows that:

1. Private equity stakes in companies are bullshit and at the very least need to be utterly regulated to hell and back.
2. More specifically, it should not be allowed to buy a company "on debt". If you want to buy somebody, you need cash-on-hand to do that. That's the only allowed form.

Shouldn't the normal size be 2? Given, well, the name?

Just one more upside to Firefox, less interruptions during work~

The wider the TV gets, the more stable a two-feet-at-the-ends design becomes compared to a single central foot.

Plus if you need anything else, VESA mounts are super-standard and you just get whatever you need then use it on every Tv you buy.

I love how this continues to crank out articles with 0 information and everyone speculating what it might be about.

Don't get me wrong, Nintendo are dickheads, but you can clearly see how everyone greedily clicks on these articles considering how often they get rehashed.

And keep in mind, the falcon sensor exists for Linux. All those big companies largely use it.

Essentially we just got lucky that their buggy patch only affected the windows version of the sensor in a showstopping way. Could have been all major OS.

I just want my Google Now back. It was so smart by comparison to Assistant or all the other modern "AI" crap. It didn't try to write me a funny text, instead it contextually pulled actually useful information up so that when I get the idea to look at my phone for something, hey!, it's already there!

The craziest thing was my trip to the UK back in the days. In order, it did the following:

• The evening before it asked me whether I want to be woken up a bit earlier (20 minutes) as the weather was expected to be very bad.
• It reminded me to pack an umbrella in the morning.
• When it had decided that my movement mode was driving (I had taken a taxi), it popped up that I needed to go to Terminal 2 at the airport (they have separate areas for dropping off passengers).
• Once at the terminal, my ticket + it's QR code was persistent on the screen.
• It also had a persistent notification with the boarding gate + the current expected time (there was a slightly delay, hence I noticed).
• When I arrived at Heathrow, it offered on-foot navigation to the coach area.
• When I got closer, the coach ticket + it's QR was persistent on the screen.
• Once in the coach it offered me information that the weather at my destination was expected to be sunny. And when I would probably arrive, of course.

For-fucking-hell Google, that's exactly how I need a phone to assist me during a trip! I don't need some shitty voice interaction or long flowing texts made up of filler words and wrong facts. I need contextual information that fits the fucking context! Google Now was insanely smart. It also did lots of little things, like when I got somewhere with a car, parked it, then walked off a bit, if I then sat down for a long time when the phone was moved again (say... when you get up out of the Restaurant!) the parked position would pop up. Smarts. Not useful very often, but smarts.

Wikipedia should counter by offering Elon $4 to go towards paying off his massive hole from buying Twitter. 😂

What I hate most about this is how they now moved to Rocket Chat.

Come on people. Use a forum. Get the message, finally. Do it!

I mean, cool, they're finally replacing Geforce Experience, one of the worst pieces of software ever made.

But they're replacing it with shit that commits all the same crimes. Locally run webserver hosting web interfaces and a website running in a packaged Chrome accesses. Instead of something utterly wild like oh I don't know, actually building a piece of software not a web page!

Also it still commits the cardinal crime of letting 11y old me do the design and what I thought was "COOOOOL!", instead of just, you know, looking like an app. In the design language of the OS. Which would be wild, I know.

If it's as presented in the quote then yeah, this feels like that australian porn law they tried where "if you look like you could be underage, it counts as child sex material" and one specific example from the text was "too small or flat breasts". Which was just patently absurd.

This is, in a lot of ways, impressive. This is CrowdStrike going full "Hold my beer!" about people talking about what bad production deploy fuckups they made.

Just one more reason to make laws that enforce similarly fair competition in other countries. Don't let companies get away with this shit!

Can confirm, am German and not proud to be an American either.

I am so tempted to volunteer.

And then immediately go malicious compliance, turning everything NSFW and creating funky rules for whatever subreddit they give me.

• /r/Chrome would be exclusively about chromed-metal-centric DIY projects and car mods, everything else gets deleted and you get banned for repeat offenses.
• /r/therapy would just have a single stickied link to a how-to-delete-your-reddit-data-and-profile guide.

Etc, etc.

Uh huh.

I mean sure, two outlets reporting it, but I'll believe it when I see it. With the Switch Pro/2/U/360/Series N in particular, the leaks were always so outlandish and in the end turned out false, while we can clearly assume the overall news about a Switch successor being in development to be real, any specific piece of news I'd immediately discard and put into the "made up stuff"-folder for the time being.

Saw this Legal Eagle video earlier today and yeeesh, how stupid can one group of people be. They asked a guy to delete the security videos who then of course immediately ratted them out because even among Trump's staff there's people there with a minimum moral compass.

Yeah, we were also once happy.

And then we started using Jira.

RIP

The replies are insane, tbh.

It's crazy just how quickly Musk has centralized such an extremely xenophobic and fascist community on Twitter, even compared to before.

And of course they all have that paid checkmark. No wonder he does it so consistently, it makes a fortune. Sigh.

Florida

Uh oh...

Plan to replace migrant workers

Ah that's entire expected. :'(

with children

THE FUCK?!

What the fuck is wrong with people in Florida. How do people own guns and let these deranged lunatics in suits parade around for even a single day?!
