  • Trump to announce extension of ACA tax credits for two years

    Jump

  • There doesn't seem to be any rules at this point, why don't they just pass a new bill that's exactly the same and call it trumpcare, or hell just rename the current law?

  • up and atom

    Jump

  • This was just the question I wanted answered

  • $96.5 million for Nadella. Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs

    Jump

  • There's no way he did anything worth 100m and definitely no way Musk did anything worth 1T, what the fuck.

    If he screws up badly enough do they take 100m from him?

  • New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI

    Jump

  • Any word on the 3 laws of robotics?

  • White House blasts Nobel Committee for not awarding Peace Prize to Trump

    Jump

  • I don't understand why they don't just say he won and sue everyone who says otherwise.

  • Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account

    Jump

  • When this started popping up, I made an account that I don't use for anything else but logging in, so for me there's no change at all. Is there more privacy concerns or other spy shit that I'm not considering?

    Edit: I guess now I'm forced to be online just to login? That kinda sucks, but I'm sure there's more for everyone to be up in arms about it.

  • Microsoft fires two more employees for participating in Palestine protests on campus

    Jump

  • Didn't really expect them to do anything different, but at point someone's gonna have the "Are we the baddies?" realization right?

  • My grandparents at their wedding - c1950's Tyne and Wear, UK

    Jump

  • Looks closer to 1850s, not a comment on your relatives, but the picture quality.

    I feel you on the last sentence though, my parents used to keep a bunch of these really old photos in an old shoe box. A lot of them got destroyed in a flood, but I spent one summer with a scanner and an old laptop restoring as many photos as I could. Wish I'd done it sooner.

  • microsoft

    Jump

  • You just reminded me of the arguments I had with people when the start menu changed. They really wanted to press start, go to all programs, look for software publisher folder, look for software name folder, look for software name, click. They swear it was more efficient than pinning it to the start menu, or pressing start and type the first couple of letters to find a program and start it.

  • Raaaaaaid!

    Jump

  • I have been winderjng about this. Is it people censoring themselves or is there some widespread initiative to clean up language on the internet? Is it a side effect of YouTube demonetising any videos with a somewhat controversial topic?

  • What would be an inexpensive and reliable way to set up a personal-use VPN tunnel?

    Jump

  • Hmm, not sure if this will help, but I bought an Asus router a couple years ago and discovered last year it had this functionality built in. Really easy to setup on the router, installed openvpn client on phone and laptop and now I have access to my home network.

    Works pretty flawlessly for me, but I should mention that Asus has had some security issues in the past, but they did release updates pretty quickly

  • Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time

    Jump

  • My favorite game of all time is Star control 2, and this was the closest thing I could imagine to a modern version it.

    They simplified some of the planetary resource gathering, ship upgrades and exploration, and I was hoping they would expand on that in the sequels. Unfortunately they did the exact opposite and simplified it even further.

  • Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal

    Jump

  • Yep, I don't remember the exact phrasing, but in these situations, I assume incompetence before I assume evil intent.

    Maybe it is intentional but the incompetence is in how obvious they are.

  • "Source code file"

    Jump

  • bf was my first thought, but I would think that would be very easy to parse for computers, and hard for humans. So maybe something that's a lot more verbose?

  • "Source code file"

    Jump

  • Hmm, can you upload files? Wonder if they set an upper limit. Wonder which language would burn the most cycles?

  • The Ugliness of the ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill, in Charts - The New York Times

    Jump

  • Wonder if it wouldve made any difference if this article was published weeks earlier.

  • I remember opera features were wild. At some point they cached websites on their servers to load them faster, they had a builtin torrent client, they automatically created mobile versions of pages, probably more I'm not remembering

  • Can someone confirm or deny, I remember using IE and it was fast, like faster then Chrome and Firefox. I think this was around WinXP or Win7? I remember loading up large websites and comparing speeds with the other browsers.

    Chrome looked better, sleeker with animations and tabs, but slightly slower. IE looked like ass, some sites were broken, and maybe some features weren't supported?

    The IE = slowpoke memes never made sense to me because of this. Maybe it got slower later, Win7 or win10?

  • I just erased my project

    Jump

  • Oh man, I hate losing code. Last time it happened I spent more time trying to recover it than it would've taken to rewrite it.
