  • AM radio law opposed by tech and auto industries is close to passing | Ars Technica

  • Requiring the installation of analog AM radios in automobiles is an unnecessary action that would impact EV range, efficiency and affordability (says the lobbyist)

    Oh no the vehicle when driving at speed now uses 10001 watts with radio on instead of 10000 watts. Efficiency and range is ruined.

    Also the $60k luxury vehicle is now unaffordable when a $1 am receiver is added in the infotainment

  • Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse

  • Generally good at supporting phones but not at supporting computers, a 5-6 years lifetime is unacceptable from an environmental point of view.

    I experienced it last week when I turned on an old Mac with MacOS 10.7. It can't run anything. Everything that you download doesn't run anymore, Firefox and chrome are limited to some ancient version like 40 that breaks every modern website and due to some expired SSL root certificate you can't access any website that's using let's encrypt which is a big chunk.

    And it's like this not from recently but at least 5 years, so it was put in a corner and never turned on anymore until last week

    It can theoretically be updated to some newer version but the updater to 10.8 has been delisted from the store so you have to alternatively source that.

    For comparison, a PC that was purchased the year prior to that Mac is running the latest version of windows 10 without any issue (except slowness due to the 1st gen core architecture)

    Former Microsoft developer says Windows 11's performance is "comically bad," even with monster PC

  • The CPU speed and ram size is irrelevant in this case, it's slow because it needs to load ads and sponsored results from internet first

  • Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon

  • How can they know that the user has a 27" or bigger screen?

    Screens report the size via HDMI and not only the name/resolution?

  • Bots ruined an once useful website with fake credentials that lead to nothing

  • enshittification happened to scribd, not bugmenot

    scribd used to offer free hosting for all pdf files, then when they hit critical user mass, they decided that only paid users can download the (mostly pirated) PDF files. Literally profiting from piracy while pretending it's designed for business.
