    Have you seen the prices for Google Drive et al? The NAS setup you describe (which I wouldn't consider worth the money for that little space) is what, 12GB with 1 parity drive? Goo…

    As someone learning Japanese I'm really appreciating tools built for JP specifically: Renshuu and Wanikani. Both use SRS (same as duolingo) but spend a considerable amount of time …

    Correction: they chose AGPL with a poison pill (CLA) so they can benefit from it and take it away whenever they want more.

    As someone who has been on the email client hunt ever since Google Inbox was taken off my feet I can say that I'm a very happy customer of eM client and it's actually one of the fe…

    Console support and porting effort in general is the main biz of some companies, the most popular being M2 (mostly emulators) and MP2 Games (handles Clickteam Fusion ports to conso…

    Yup, and you can already mix and match both local and cloud AIs with stuff like SillyTavern/RealmPlay if you wanna try what the experience is like, people have been using it to rol…

    Maybe not yet? Google already made having non-store extensions as annoying as possible (e.g. a nag every time you open Chrome that tells you to disable them) and maybe they think t…

    It probably scared the downstream, see Microsoft pushing out a press release as soon as possible since they have been investing tons of money and PR into their OpenAPI partnership …

    Just look around forums and socials like Reddit. I see people bitching how OBS Studio doesn't work for them the exact way they want it while contributing nothing to the project alm…

    At least from face value it seems the value of those patents is exactly to fight back patent pools organizations, at part of the AOM stipulation is that if someone tries to sue ove…

    My biggest problem with the whole mentality is that most high profile shootings are still being carried out with unsecured methods, e.g. the Paris shooting from 2015 was organized …

    I never said it was the majority, but if you look at the numbers there's a chunkable size of population that don't change (and it's been higher than the Mozilla market share for ma…

    In Italy we have already digital IDs through SPID[1] which is most likely going to be phased into eIDAS and it works a similar way (though way less standardized), government websit…

    I would assume coercing the OS providers (MS/Apple/Google) who do sell a system with a browser for money into shipping the backdoored browser would be enough of a win for them. Not…

    I've also started doing this, with USB-C to C cables you might want to get something like the C2C caberQU cable tester as a lot of cheap type c cables don't actually wire all the c…

    Yeah the headline is so exaggerated you can literally come up with a retort faster than they could come up with it. Heck I bet if a new Windows XP exploit showed up tomorrow it wou…

    Reminds me of http://al.chemy.org A dead (sigh) drawing app with no layers and no undo and tons of wacky brushes. The main idea is that you can doodle and let the "happy little acc…

    Your sentiment toward generative AI ("the foundation for many useful new technologies") is exactly the same that the crypto/NFT bros have towards crypto/NFT. So far generative AI h…

    iFixIt repairability was always about end-consumer repairability. Why would they care if some shops can do it easier? Once it's off the consumer's hand it's their problem how they …
