  <.< Legitimate question, what was the last thing each party killed that was put in place by the other party?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare built an oauth provider with Claude⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact hat multiple experts reviewed every line of code by hand, I have to say this is impossible unless you’re comparing it to “the junior devs wrote it all and I just kept correcting hem.”

  I doubt anyone is under the impression that it is going to be as efficient as direct power. At least no one paying attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all anecdotal for the most part. I’ve had two DOA WD drives in a row before, but no dead seagates.

  As a side note, I hope you have those two WDs backed up, they’re overdue for a death.

  Complain? No. But they shure as shit treat them as is they were the same individual in those memories. It even causes problems.

  Just needs a comma. 😉

  They even sell them with Setsuko on the tin.

  I was digging around and it seems there are some iffy api translators for duck.ai such as github.com/HuggingBear/DuckDuckGo-AI

  But I’ve not tried this yet, so no idea how it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Release v0.6.11 · open-webui/open-webui⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ngl I really wish there was a decent way to hook into third party “offerings” like duck.ai. I don’t have the spare GPUs to run anything at any kind of decent speed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? I’ve never actually bothered to look under the hood. I’ll have to give it a peek some time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re talking just package managers? Winget has existed for about 5 years. Not to mention the many third party package managers like chocolatey and appget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Supermaterial: As Strong As Steel And As Light As Styrofoam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get hints of a joke from your comment but I’m not certain, so I’ll mention that space elevators are currently impossible because the weight of the material to build it wouldn’t be able to support itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of us will leave behind a large ‘digital legacy’ when we die. Here’s how to plan what happens to it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I flat out told my family “when I die, just burn it all down and buy basic consumer stuff.

  There’s no way my tech would survive for more than a handful of years without a proper sysadmin, and the entire thing would be two dead HDDs away from total data loss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looked it up… idk this doesn’t feel like a problem? Yeah, the related term is absolutely a problem, but this seems like a sanitized version that’s meant to portray the same core meaning without the racial slur?

  I could very well be wrong of course, I don’t have much more context than an extremely quick search so please correct me if I’m wrong.

  Appreciated, just threw a user tag on them so I can ignore them in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnite returns to iPhone app store in US, ending exile imposed by Apple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean sure, ignoring the fact that the justice department is actively suing Apple for being a monopoly, Apple isn’t a monopoly.

  Ignoring the fact that a court of law ordered the situation being reported on, there’s no reason Apple should have to do what they are doing.

  As long as we ignore reality, the things you’re claiming make perfect sense.

  👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnite returns to iPhone app store in US, ending exile imposed by Apple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  57% US market share. This decision has no bearing on any other market, and to expand the view to the global market is disingenuous.

  I can install Steam if Epic doesn’t allow a game I want on it, or install it directly from the developer. You don’t have that option with the iPhone.

  They do not have to allow competitors to operate on their platform.

  Yes, they do. Especially when that platform is synonymous with 57% of the hardware in use.

  Your entire post is based on an incorrect premise.

  Ironic.

  Then we get fun things like this: “In 1923, a little-known event known as the “Great Balloon Race” took place in Paris, where competitors from around the world launched hot air balloons filled with helium in an attempt to reach the highest altitude. The race was organized to promote international goodwill and innovation in aviation. Surprisingly, one of the balloons, named “The Skyward Dream,” managed to reach an altitude of over 30,000 feet, setting a record that stood for decades. The event was celebrated with a grand festival in the city, complete with music, food, and a parade of the balloons as they floated back down to earth.”

  O.o how long ago was this? I literally just had an issue on a VM where Windows 11 refused to update due to disk space constraints.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Everything” implies much more than the OS and related Windows updates.

  And honestly, Windows forcing updates is a good thing, as has been said time and again. Do you recall the days of Windows XP, where so so many machines were sitting on relatively ancient versions, and exposed to a huge number of vulnerabilities? That is what lead to the current update situation.

  And to those that argue that users should be able to manage their own updates, there are numerous ways for a power user to do just that. But the bar for entry is “high” (no UI) to prevent normal end users who will never actually manage their updates from turning them off.

  I’d say plex is up there. “Want to use your hardware and bandwidth to view your own files? Pay us!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels weird. Everything will want to update on any system if you’ve not had it online for 6 months. And the majority of the login requests are going to be your previous credentials being invalidated because they’ve been offline for so long. You’d see similar behavior on Linux.

  Applications vanishing isn’t really something that happens on any OS really so I do have to question what you did to cause it. Uninstallers don’t just silently pop off at random. I’ve not even heard anecdotal tellings of that happening previously.

  I’ll agree with you on Explorer though. It’s slow as molasses, and I hate utilizing it whenever I have to. It just feels bad.

  I guess my point is, complain about Windows itself, and things directly tied into Windows. When you pull out “software I didn’t start for six months wants to update” as your first complaint it doesn’t really help your argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are many, many machines out there running 95 and even earlier versions. The issue is that a machine from 30 years ago is almost always still using the software that came with the machine… 30 years ago.

  Even if the OS has received security patches, which isn’t even assured, the company may either no longer be in business, or charge for new OS drivers/specialized software.

  In many cases, your options are literally to replace an entire machine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, or deal with the networking nightmare that is “keep this on the network, but not on the network.”

  Except frame interpolation like that typically looks terrible even with modern algorithms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is draining water from areas that need it most⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But then could it not just be recirculated? I’m not understand why we are assuming we pull out of the tap, and dump into the sewer, when that sounds incredibly costly. Would they not just… dump into a cooling tank, then reuse when down to temp?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is draining water from areas that need it most⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also confused on how they are “consuming” the water. I’m guessing they aren’t closed loop like most later cooling, but are they just… using it till it evaporates? I legitimately don’t understand where this water goes that it’s just… gone?
