Also win8: Hey, would you like NOT having a desktop? We’ve got tiles now!

Fossify Launcher works well, that’s what I switched to.

If only they had a solid state technology that expanded system memory… Shutting down optane comes to bite them, again.

Like instinctual stuff you haven’t experienced yet, I guess.

“If it weren’t for the shootings, I wouldn’t know they had schools.” - YT comment I read today

Yes, beacuse that would be distribution of copyrighted materials…

Meta’s legal defense was that they limited seeding to a minimal value as a precaution when they pirated terabytes of books. Of course, I don’t expect the same ruling would be granted to an individual… Shit is fucked.

“Google would never do something like that” comments just one year ago. Oh my! Google dropped the “don’t be evil” motto a long time ago.

There’s new webcam, theres also an “empty” extension thing where you can put 2 nvme SSDs in place of the GPU.

China: We increased green energy production.

Search engines been going relatively fine for decades now. But the crawlers from AI companies basically DDOS hosts in comparison, sending so many requests in such a short interval. Crawling dynamic links as well that are expensive to render compared to a static page, ignoring the robots.txt entirely, or even using it discover unlinked pages.

I made the mistake of believing that Fairphone is an enthusiast company, like the Framework of phones maybe. There is some overlap, sure, with the repair-ability aspect and available parts and schematics, but that’s about it.

Other than that, FP wants to be a mainstream brand, the eco-friendly Samsung or Apple; the power users can get shafted with their audio jacks for all they care. While Framework has actual hardware modularity and release updated HW modules so you don’t buy the whole device again for an upgrade.

Looking at FP’s financial statements, I get the impression they aren’t doing too hot lately, so I get it if they need bigger margins to continue operating. Just don’t be a fucking hypocrite and lie about the reason of the jack removal ffs.

As much ignorance and ill will there is behind this process, I’d guess Mexico.

But adblockers don’t enable unlawful enrichment. Or do they?

In GN’s video the law firm mentioned there are 3-4 cases already and they are probably getting combined or go to the same judge. (IANAL; IDK the specifics)

It’s not about losing a license. ARM’s angle was that Nuvia’s license was for the server market. Qualcomm had their own license for the mobile chips. ARM’s issue was that the chip was developed under one license and sold/manufactured under another. (At least the first version)
