  • If happy meals come with a toy, what do angry meals come with?

  • It's all so tiresome

    Jump

  • I think the best way to quickly make this check completely useless isn't to rip it out entirely, but to make the kernel generate a random age between 21-99 every time an application requests it.

  • Is there a doctor aboard?

    Jump

  • I say this in the most loving and accepting way possible, but I 100% think autism was somehow involved in the creation and spread of the butt trumpets.

    I'm convinced of this because I know with absolute certainty in my heart that if any of my friends on the spectrum were alive in the 13th century, they'd be sent to the seminary for being weird and would spend their days doodling butt trumpets in the margins of manuscripts.

  • I was told it would be a cultural experience

    Jump

  • Buc-ees is the only good thing about Texas.

  • NVIDIA could enter the desktop CPU market with performance equal to AMD and Intel

    Jump

  • Yeah, that was my question. Why the hell would they develop new silicon when 99% of their fab space is dedicated to feeding the AI bubble?

  • This plastic is made from milk and it vanishes in 13 weeks

    Jump

  • If it can use milk that would otherwise be thrown out, due to contamination or expiration, that wouldn't be so bad.

  • Netflix's $82.7 billion deal to buy Warner has been dramatically gazumped by Paramount, to the tune of $111 billion

    Jump

  • There's no way in hell Paramount has that much cash available. This is gonna be a leveraged buyout of epic proportions, and it's gonna crash and burn epically too.

  • Interesting question. For me it would be a dead grandfather

    Jump

  • My dad tells these stories about how my great grandpa used to joke and pull pranks on the family. I wish I could have met him in person.

    That or getting an hour to pick Alan Turing's brain. He'd probably hate the current generation of "AI" as much as I do.

  • systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success

    Jump

  • I honestly don't get what people were so up in arms about, besides just not wanting to change what already worked for them.

  • With all the awareness and all the money given to curing cancer how come we never hear about scientists making at least incremental steps to cure it?

    Jump

  • That's because cancer is an umbrella term that encompasses tons of diseases. It's not one single gene mutation that causes all of them that you could just find and fix forever. Usually it requires many mutations for a cell to become cancerous, so curing cancer is basically like playing whack-a-mole.

    Cancer is still your own body's tissues, so often the hardest part of developing treatments is finding something that will kill the cancer without fucking up everything else. Like, sure, sodium hydroxide kills cancer but we're not going to just start injecting it into people's veins.

  • In conclusion: Magic DNS

  • Who tf actually uses Docker Swarm anyway?

  • Because your "art" looks like everyone else's AI "art" and it doesn't make you look creative or skilled, it just makes you look like a tool.

  • What's the most globally impactful book ever written? EXCLUDING RELIGIOUS BOOKS.

    Jump

  • So what you're saying is bro should have used a ghostwriter like with The Art of the Deal.

  • I want to say Mein Kampf but I wonder how many people actually read it before Hitler came to power.

    On that note, I've always wanted to get my hands on a copy just because I want to see what kind of insane ramblings it contains but there's basically no way to do that without looking like a neo-Nazi. I wonder if there's scans of it online.

  • It's about DS9 nothing else

    Jump

  • I'm pretty out of shape but I think I could probably beat Trump in hand-to-hand combat.

  • Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'

    Jump

  • Yeah but we're talking diminishing returns here. Doubling the resolution to 8k makes about as much sense as doubling refresh rates to 480hz. At that point it's going to be mostly dependent on the individual, and likely heavily subject to the placebo effect.

    By my math, a 55" 8k screen has pixels that are 0.056" (56 thou) wide.

    At ten feet, that subtends an angle of 0.268 degrees or 1.6 arcminutes.

    There's obviously a lot of variation and it depends on exactly what you're measuring, but normal human visual acuity struggles to distinguish details less than about 5 arcminutes, maybe 1-2 arcminutes depending on the test.

  • Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'

    Jump

  • It's because we're at the limits of the human visual system. The difference in pixel pitch between 4k and 8k at the distances we watch TV is literally imperceptible.

    It also doesn't help that there's not much content authored and distributed for higher resolutions. It's exponentially more expensive to produce, store, and deliver.

    Home Internet connections on average aren't any better than they were ten years ago, either, at least not in the US. I doubt a lot of them can even support 8k streaming, let alone with anyone else using it at the same time.

  • How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?

  • Bitwarden sold keys recently.

    Source?

    Chrome and firefox are the same product now and neither should be allowed to hold anything important.

    Source?

    Jump

  • It doesn't even have to be that long. 12-16 characters and it'll be infeasible to brute-force for the foreseeable future. But unless you're talking a high-value target like government, military, or executive suite at a company, no one bothers to brute-force anyway because there's easier ways to gain access.

    The biggest issue with password security is reuse and sharing. The most secure password in the world doesn't mean a damn thing if you use the same email/password combination across a hundred different websites, because all it takes is for just one of them to suffer a leak and now your credentials are in a dump with millions of others that can be bought for a song and a dance.

    This is why it's imperative to use 2FA for your most important accounts, because it can mean the difference between an attacker getting access and hitting an error page and trying the next poor fucker's credentials instead.

    But also, no one wants to try to remember a hundred different unique passwords so it's also a good idea to use a password manager. Chrome and Firefox both have them built-in (note that Firefox stores passwords unencrypted on disk unless you set a master password!), but there's also services like OnePass or Bitwarden that have stronger guarantees.
