I’m skeptical that governments know about these solutions given how little people in general understand technology. It’s a “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” situation. Ideally they should have experts available to consult with when making laws to prevent BS like this.

Does the Supreme Court have jurisdiction over civil cases?

Worth a read for a more in-depth look into what happened: https://electrek.co/2025/08/04/tesla-withheld-data-lied-misdirected-police-plaintiffs-avoid-blame-autopilot-crash/

That certainly would weed out disabled candidates…

Does it happen at a consistent time or frequency? Like at 8pm or after 2 hours of being turned on?

I have an old blade server that I got from work many years ago. I never set it up but just opened it up to see what’s in it and discovered it had DDR2 memory. Interested?

A hobby is “good” if you enjoy it. That’s all that matters with hobbies. Don’t look down on yourself for wanting to do something for fun. It doesn’t have to be “efficient” or turn into an income or anything else. Just try it and learn. Learn the skills, learn if you like it

I agree with this in principle. I think a tag like “rumor” might be useful as a first step? Escalate if it becomes more of a problem.

It may also be worth differentiating between a rumor and a rumor. A rumor of AMD coming out with XYZ at CES is different from “some random website is claiming that HL3 is days away from being announced”

LLMs don’t “understand” anything. They are predicting what text matches your prompt. If you don’t understand what an AI is saying, it’s not saying anything

If I’m a TV manufacturer, I have less incentive to have both connector types because it increases cost and complexity while only appealing to a very small subset of users. It will take leadership at those companies to take a bit of a leap of faith that the effort is valuable as a long term plan because it will take other manufacturers to make the ecosystem. Couple that with the fact that leadership at companies tend to not be enthusiasts or technically inclined and it makes it difficult, but not impossible. I really hope we can move electronics towards DisplayPort just so it’s an open standard instead of the HDMI for-profit model.

I agree with the sentiment but we’re dealing with a chicken and egg problem. If no TVs have DisplayPort, who would buy a console that can’t be used with their TV?

What’s the relationship between sunspots and geomagnetic storms that can affect the earth? Is this just panic bait or is there actually something potential here?

… one that had been submitted by an anonymous member of the public, known only by their initials, “DD”.

The decision stunned “DD” – an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Alabama named Daniel DiDonato …

“Anonymous”?

I don’t have a definitive answer for this but I suspect the answer is “it depends”. My brother homeschooled for a number of years because he was very bright scholastically and it worked better for him. I tried it for a year but it didn’t work nearly as well so I went back to regular school.

All that being said, homeschooling can and is used by some hyper religious parents which can have pretty bad consequences for the children.

During a Nov. 5 court hearing, CBP Agent Charles Exum, identified as the agent who shot Martinez, was questioned by Parente about text messages he sent to friends and family after the incident in which he appeared to boast about his shooting skills.

"I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys,” one of those messages said.

What a psycho

The circlejerk of tech bros and busidiots who haven’t built a damn thing in their lives.

Nothing like an unprovoked war to distract from the Epstein files

MBAs are mortal enemies of software engineers. Couple that with what one former CEO of mine said: “engineers have very well tuned bullshit detectors” and you arrive at the problem…

Similar story to a lot of others here

Around a year ago I got fed up with Microsoft forcefully pushing unwanted and privacy-invading “features” on their users. It scared me to continue using it. I wanted more control and more protection for my privacy. So I decided to install Mint.

I’ve dabbled with Linux in the past and use it extensively in my job, but hadn’t switched significantly to it in the past. One of the biggest blockers being games. I bought a Steam Deck a couple of years ago so I was needing increasingly confident that Linux would work for gaming to some extent. It ended up working very smoothly and I haven’t looked back.

I still have my dual boot, partially because I haven’t bothered to remove windows fully. At this point there’s very little reason for me to not into windows. I’ve only encountered one game I’ve wanted to play that didn’t work in Linux and that was an old game with mods. I might be able to get it working if I really troubleshooted it, but it’s not that important.

“is this still happening” may suggest that he said yes and that Epstein wasn’t sure if he’ll still come, maybe did you a scheduling conflict or something. The word “still” in that sentence is potentially saying a lot. We also have lots of other evidence showing that Musk is a creep so there’s an established pattern.
