  • The grand prize

    Jump

  • Assuming that's about 5x5', and going by the price of the first tungsten cube found on Google, this would be worth about 15 million dollars. Decent prize of you could move 150,000lb.

  • Google Chrome’s uBlock Origin phaseout has begun

    Jump

  • 99% of the time you can just spoof the user agent and it'll work perfectly fine. They only restrict it because they won't hire enough developers to provide support for multiple browsers.

  • Google must crack open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge

    Jump

  • How does the title victimize Google?... It literally just summarizes the article, and then in the first sentence of the actual article they flat out call Google an illegal monopoly.

  • Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants

    Jump

  • AI coding assistance is good for the same stuff you would have put through a tool assisted service previously anyway. Regex and other forms of complex pattern matching are way easier for a computer than a human. The only difference now is that you can just write out the problem plainly instead of in tiny chunks.

    I recently had to write a script to parse an nginx log for unique entries with very specific criteria that could vary depending on other criteria, and then do some crap to manipulate that data and use portions of it for API calls to other more complicated shit. Figuring out how to properly parse that data manually would be mind numbing. AI does it instantly.

    That's not to say that the entire concept as a marketing ploy isn't complete bullshit, but if it were just used for the crap it's good at, it would actually be a net benefit to society.

  • You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness

  • I bet the one on the left doesn't even have a fake Swedish name.

  • The self checkout line in a Walmart after an especially hot summer day.

  • Chrome for Android and desktop simplifying sign in with Google Account

    Jump

  • People still unironically use chrome?

  • True?

  • Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That's really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be "unique", but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

    If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I'd put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that's constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.

  • 11 out of 24... I would have done better just clicking randomly

  • These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.

    I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing...

  • The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January

    Jump

  • For daily use, sure - but it completely excludes itself as an option for road trips in the US and parts of Canada. There's a stretch of interstate road near me with nearly a 100 mile gap between service stations.

    I know that this isn't the purpose of this battery, but it's a valid reason why a lot of people might be hesitant to buy one. Many people can't afford multiple vehicles for different purposes. You have the car you drive to work with, and if you happen to go on a trip you just use the same thing.

    Maybe 99% of use occurs within constraints that this battery can handle, but if you can only afford one vehicle, then this is still a pretty suboptimal option. That being said... it could still be cheap enough to not matter. I didn't see any mention of price in that article.
