  • Trump, 79, Admits He Might Not Get Into Heaven

  • The story I'd heard was not that it's a transcription error, but closer to a pun. Readers would be familiar with the term for a ship's rope, and the minor linguistic shift highlighted the absurdity of such an idea.

    Interesting though about translations to other languages. I'll have to dig further on the subject.

  • Do you put pizza in the fridge?

    跳过

  • The reason why you can (not especially safely) eat takeout pizza that's been sitting out overnight is because it's usually loaded with salt. Salt is a preservative, and limits growth of the nasties.

  • Air traffic controllers who duck unpaid work during the gov't shutdown could be fired, Duffy warns

  • Republicans (and people in general, TBH) don't make the same mistake twice.

    They make it 6 or 7 times, at least.

  • Global PC shipments surge as Windows EOL transition fuels upgrade cycle

    跳过

  • Windows hasn't been the cash cow for a long time. Office is still pretty big (and the corporate licensing is often bundled), but the big moneymaker is Azure.

    If these companies are switching to web-based services in Azure, it ends up being a net positive for Microsoft.

  • It would be hilarious if, one day, the Nobel Peace Prize was decided by no rules cage fight. Pay per view, of course.

  • Presumably they all are informed that they've been nominated. They could also ask them beforehand what their preference is if they win.

    2am calls are why people leave their profession.

  • Amazon has largely become AliExpress with faster shipping. You have to be very careful to make sure that's not what you're getting in the first place.

    Amazon also encourages counterfeits and fraud through their policy of "commingling" all sellers, even if it's a trustworthy and reputable product. If any of those third party sellers are scammers, the entire product is tainted.

  • 1 in 3 Americans have had a ‘romantic relationship’ with an AI bot, new survey says

    跳过

  • Are they counting all of the bots on services like tinder, bumble, and Ashley Madison?

  • EA's new owners are making "a huge bet" on generative AI cost-cutting to help repay a $20 billion loan, claims report

    跳过

  • Considering it's EA, this might actually be a good thing for the world.

  • Landlords Demand Tenants’ Workplace Logins to Scrape Their Paystubs

    跳过

  • At most employers, this is grounds for immediate termination, and rightfully so. Rarely are the credentials to view paystubs entirely separate from the rest.

    You've now given your potential landlord access to a much wider system. In many places, the potential landlords are then criminally guilty of unauthorized access to a computer system, AKA "hacking". The potential tenant typically does not have the authority to grant the authorization.

  • Microsoft forced to make Windows 10 extended security updates truly free in Europe

  • Clearly the requirements will not drop. But due to the passage of time, they aren't quite as ridiculous anymore. The last machines that didn't meet the requirements were made in 2017. It's not unreasonable to require a device that's less than 8 years old. Most individuals upgrade more often than that anyway.

    Yes, it would be preferable to keep the older ones in service. But it's a smaller pool than you think, and most of them will actually stay in use but unpatched.

  • Most go to a tech recycler. They pay their client a pittance for the old equipment, then they refurbish/resell it on places like eBay. Yes, the SSD is often destroyed, and usually the mounting bracket with it. But the rest is fully functional and readily available.

    If you want to see this firsthand, just go to eBay and search for "Thinkpad T490". These are about 5 years old now, and at the end of the corporate lifecycle. They were also a very popular corporate device, and very rare for individual consumers. You will see an absolute ton of these, and mostly from recyclers. But they originally came from places like Coca-Cola and Chase.

  • They are presumed to have nuclear weapons. I won't speak to their effectiveness, nor of Israel's likelihood to use them, but it does need to be factored in. Especially since those in power are likely to become very desperate when their grip on power is threatened.

    None of this means we shouldn't do it, just that we need to account and plan for the risks.

  • Canadians are taking a big step back from the U.S. — and here's the data to prove it | CBC News

  • I hate to break it to you, but Americans will never receive/understand that message.

  • US TV hosts back Jimmy Kimmel and lampoon Donald Trump in free speech row

    跳过

  • While I appreciate your sentiment, it's important to consider how it will actually play out. Above all else, (nearly) every corporation will take the path that is the most profitable. That will decide each step along the way.

    First, ABC will happily replace Kimmel with whomever brings in the money. It might be a full-on Nazi, or it might just be inoffensive Kimmel-lite that won't rock the boat. The time slot will not simply go empty.

    Something similar would happen to Fallon, Stewart, and the rest.

    At this point, the influencers begin to lose their influence. They are no longer the voice of a frustrated nation. They become a former voice. Someone that we used to listen to. This is actually where Jon Stewart was for a number of years, and I'm still not convinced he's regained his influence.

    When the voices we need are silent, other voices will rise to the top. By definition, they will not be what we need. They will probably be working against us.

    I don't have a solution to any of this. I'm merely analyzing the problems of one approach.

  • The New McDonald’s McVeggie Burger Is Here – But Is It Suitable For Vegans?

  • "it’s a celebration of bold flavor"

    I'm guessing they chose to celebrate rather than including it.

  • Is this a worthwhile upgrade?

    跳过

  • Some quick googling suggests that their single-thread performance is really close, but the AMD has triple the cores. Plus extra RAM is always good, and looks to be the newer and faster DDR4.

    The main question for you becomes how multi-threaded your needs are. If you don't need more than 4 cores, then switching won't give you anything more. There's also the smaller question about RAM, with the same criteria.

    If your needs are highly multi-threaded, or RAM-constrained, then switching will be very worthwhile.

  • How trusted is TorGuard?

    跳过

  • I left them years ago, but their VPN software has (had?) a critical bug - the killswitch treats "connecting" the same as "connected".

    Meaning that if the connection drops for any reason and is not immediately reestablished, you not only lose all protection, but you have a false sense of security.
