It’s hard to downsize, and it may not always be affordable. In my part of the world, because of a few reasons between markets and mortgages, a 350m2 house is worth 80-90% as much as a 175m2 house. If the house has been in the family for 30 years that makes it worse because the house isn’t “updated”, so it’s possible to halve the living space and end up with a tax bill for your trouble.

Is this like the Apple car? Just around the corner?

Or slinky catsuits. I bet they’re comfy, if perhaps stinky with the polyester/elastane combo. I remember reading that the TNG outfits were not at all comfortable, but that was 1980s tech. We have lululemon now.

Realtek, don’t they have issues with drivers in FreeBSD? Or am I horribly out of date.

In any case I’m excited, even if i barely tap into 1gbe capability most of the time.

In fairness to the French, there is actually very little data to support the benefits of flossing.

As with a surprising amount of dental care and practice. Lots of money to be made doing it and hey, it’s low-risk, right?

People who work in research often have their whole life built around their specific field of research, to the point where their transferable skills and knowledge are minimized or excluded. Financially, they’re usually dependent on the institution they work for to a far greater degree than most professions are, which is part of why tenure exists. They also—but certainly not always—are neurodivergent. Their area of research is necessarily something they’re passionate about.

I can totally see this happening. There’s a lot going on in the world right now. Many people are experiencing extreme anxiety about world events they don’t have power over.

Being personally bullied by the government specifically about the work that is tremendously personally important would be devastating.

I think a moderately competent lawyer would be able to build a case. Of course, it would get tied up in court for a while, but protecting IP is a big part of IP law (more on trademark I think, but IANAL). The C&D should have been sent a long time ago. It’s possible that this is a department that’s “moving fast and breaking things” and higher-ups said no to the license. In no way should that be considered to excuse the behaviour.

Is that the same lane-keeping that Full-Self-Drives into concrete barriers? https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/08/tech/tesla-trial-wrongful-death-walter-huang

I don’t think they can, because they’re suffering so much from the rectal-cranial inversion that Musk started with his FSD.

Muskrat insists on using computer vision entirely, and building it in-house. Tesla (probably EM) as I recall also insulted MobilEye so they refuse to do business with them. Mind you, I think lane keeping is generally a computer vision problem.

It’s absolutely pitiful that they can’t figure out lane-keeping when a cars a fraction of the price have it.

It’s also a huge red flag that they are shipping “self driving” but can’t do lane keep assist.

I’m no layout expert, but I did do some desktop publishing about 15 years ago 10 min in Scribus had me tearing my hair out. Installed InDesign and, while it’s still not easy to catch up on the modern capabilities, it was worlds ahead.

GIMP is just fine for casuals. It’s not close for professionals.

Truthfully I think that one major issue with open source programs that don’t have corporate involvement is that people who are great at code don’t always have the same skill in UI/UX. However, with support and a larger community, great things can happen. The barrier is getting that adoption level. If more people casually use the product and contribute financially or in code, it will help tremendously.

Evaporative cooling. Low cost.

Generally true and that’s why I often read these articles scratching my head. Make them closed loop! They almost always use chillers…

Water use becomes a concern if the water is moved too far and/or too fast like your Sahara example.

I see your point but the correct answer is to install current branch. If you want pain and suffering, skip the appetizer and go straight to Linux.

Simply, because Microsoft says so. The amount of “omg micro$oft is such garbage” more professional versions of that that can be attributed to not RTFM is fairly significant. It’s interesting how much effort people will put in to making a OSS project work, and give up fairly quickly in Windows land. Merely an observation; all respect to those who daily drive on Linux (and to be fair it’s been quite a few years since I tried).

More specifically, you can run into driver and software issues both inside and outside of the Microsoft space. The “Feature Updates” that are put out do include a fair bit under the hood sometimes and you miss that. Less likely in the personal use space, but quite significant in the business space. When the IT curmudgeon deploys LTSC across 1500 devices and 2 years later needs to implement a newer capability, it’s a hell of a lot of work.

Your use case is realistically the intended use case, outside of industrial equipment/embedded systems. You’re using WINE for most stuff and poke your head into Windows occasionally.

LTSC is supported, yes, but it’s an edge case not intended for desktop (or most server) applications.

If you don’t want to move to 11, install a flavour of Linux. Don’t run LTSC.

I guess you didn’t see the several points in the article where they make it clear that it is “opt in”?

I do look forward for the bursting of the LLM bubble, but the article isn’t just about LLM.

Ben Thompson has been saying that they need to collect user data (like google) for a decade.

It seems the botched Apple Intelligence release changed some minds, a little bit.

This makes sense. Give the companies like Apple and nvidia time to set up some local factories. How long could it take to acquire land, set up a chip foundry, and train up staff? 90 days?
