And also a real ophthalmologist, which seems relevant :-)
- Comment on Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News 1 week ago:
I think this is two stories being mixed a bit here?
A bit over one month old, the lending issues: cio.com/…/oracle-may-slash-up-to-30000-jobs-to-fu…
Now, confirmation of the cuts that were suspected since last year from Bloomberg: reuters.com/…/oracle-plans-thousands-job-cuts-dat…
I’m not saying there is not a link between the events, but somehow the posted article does a weird rehash mixed with news, and is not even dated, and I don’t like that, so I’m sharing the individual news pieces as separate links for other’s benefit.

Which one was that? The horses one?
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 1 week ago:
It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.
They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.

Oh man I never realized there was a separate non-phone Motorola company that remained where it was. Thanks for the explanation.

I was recently thinking, this recruitment drive must be heaven for the common proud boys brownshirt.
Who of them wouldn’t sign up, they get to harm immigrants, they get cover from the very top if they catch public attention, they get gear, and they might even get paid for it.

How does this even make sense mechanically? What would it mean when one system of law bans another system of law?

I think the one they used in the story is the canonical name, if I click their name above the comment it links me to a profile with the name they used in the story in the url.

If you’re a dual national, you already have two passports.
That assumption is mistaken, and where the issues likely come from in practise.

It uses a more generic shell linking method, that doesn’t just load web URLs but also file paths, including to executables.

Dude… the way you got piled on with stupid replies. Sometimes comment sections just go the wrong way even if you are completely right. My sympathies.

“now considering”? Bit late no? We’ve had that for over 10 years, up to 600W they don’t need approval
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 4 weeks ago:
There’s tons of search focused ones, which is weird to me. If you want a normal layout with folders then I suggest you go with Lawnchair.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 4 weeks ago:
No, I never had a Mac.
Doom and Lemmings on MS-DOS and Anno 1602 and Age of Empires on Windows 95 or 98 were the first few titles my dad showed me on the old PC I got to use. He showed me how to interrupt the Windows boot so I could launch the DOS games instead.
I’m not sure if Doom was just on there because he played it, because this must have been in 1997 or 1998 or maybe 1999, a few years after it released anyway.

Oh man, when I played The Last of Us on my flatmates Playstation because it wasn’t on PC at the time, I died like four times to the first few tutorial zombies. It really took a while for me to pick it up enough for even that kind of simple PvE action.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 4 weeks ago:
Back in my day we played Doom without any analog inputs, and strafing required a key combination so the sideway arrow keys would strafe instead of turn.
That said I did enjoy Doom the Dark Ages with my mouse earlier today, haha.
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 4 weeks ago:
I’m interested in this brand and their Gen 6. I kind of wish I was in the market for a phone. Unfortunately I bought a used Pixel 6 three years ago and everything is just fine with it 😄

There is an artist around who spoofs the big app interfaces to make these even worse thought experiments. I’m guessing it’s one of his or hers. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name / handle.

In the old post from when the update was released a Heise article is linked, that contains indicators of compromise, and in turn links to Kevin Beaumont for the details of his analysis:

I just know they said from the start that you could buy three years at escalating prices. Then later, closer to the original end of support they made the first year of ESU free for users in the EEA, and then they made it buy-able for reward points or something like that for everyone.
tells me that free ESU support for private users will end in Oct 26
You’re probably right on that
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 1 month ago:
The entire article is based on a false premise:
With ESU, you can still get security updates and minor fixes or improvements, but the catch is that extended support ends on October 13, 2026.
Not true, there are three years of ESU updates available.
