Android@lemdro.id•Foldable season in full swing: Motorola confirms launch date for new Razr familyEnglish
5·8 days agoPlease! And make graphene compatible with older Razrs too.
Created the Intel 4004, led development of the 8080.
Invented the Zilog z80, got fucked over by financiers, then invented the laptop touchpad, almost got fucked over by Logitech, lived happily ever after.
Also invented the gate aligned Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Legend of computer engineering.

Television@piefed.social•‘Young Sherlock’ Renewed for Season 2 at AmazonEnglish
1·15 days agoWhen will young sherlock get to fight young Indiana Jones? Or will they team up to solve mysteries?
I remember it sounding a lot cooler than that.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•I love when scientists mock each otherEnglish
2·19 days agoThey are pointing out in this article that the way that the problem is devised for the computer makes it basically already solved. The quantum computer get a list of all the factors and, after a bunch of hand waving, picks one. Something a vic20 an abacus and a dog can all do too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most embarrassing thing you’re willing to admit to online?English
1·27 days agoSome people would stand for that sort of thing but frankly I can’t imagine why…
Well maybe OpenAI has only made 0 dollars now. But, give it a few years and its sure to make at least $000,000,000,000.00.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Microsoft fixes broken Windows update days after vowing fewer broken updatesEnglish
3·1 month agoI think that the era of platform locked internal tools is close to being over, at least for smaller organizations.
AI sucks for innumerable reasons, but the ability to create internal tooling for specialized systems is now something that organizations of smaller and smaller sizes can now take advantage of. IE, write a printer interface that does xyz for our machine and integrates with CUPS instead of a windows print server. Now we can save a Windows server license and an expensive proprietary software license.
AI is still absolutely terrible though. Never open a port to anything vibe coded ever.
How it started

How it’s going

Season 3 Episode 16-17: The Secret of Bigfoot
Season 4 Episode 1: Return of the Bigfoot Part 1(part 2 was a Bionic Woman Episode)
Season 5 Episode 5: Bigfoot V
Spoilers for a 50+ year old show, vvvvvv
sometimes Bigfoot is actually just an android made by aliens to look like Bigfoot.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
7·2 months agoYes and as far as I can tell, they all have that as their system. Also the changing of the password every quarter which has proven to actually decrease password security and increase password reuse.
I should say, if anyone knows a bank with proper modern online security protocols I am willing to listen.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite bit of childlore?English
1·2 months agoOccam’s razor probably points to having access to graph paper in school and connecting corners.
Why an S?
That all has to do with Cthulu as S is widely known as his favorite letter.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
3·2 months agoFair point but I am not going to do all my shopping exclusively out of catalogs and mail in my payment with cash.
Its a shitty situation but short of government regulation (ha) nothing is going to change.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
20·2 months agoI appreciate the effort but my banking apps still rely on 2FA through SMS. They aren’t interested in implementing a technology that is more secure or even one that is different than what they have already, especially for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of their user base.
Clonezilla can do that for you. Very easy, very reliable.

Put some more battery in there.
