Lot's of enterprises are enabling whitelisting of apps launching using some sort of tooling - I think Microsoft provides one, and CrowdStrike etc. It's likely the delay involves a …

I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around how this could work for PCs today. I'm guessing Intel/AMD could integrate a single SSD controller that OEMs could use for a speciall…

Absolutely agree on the dumbing down. I'm guessing it's getting heavy use, for many it's probably the default thing to go to - so an easy target for cost optimization. Mine will ra…

Why would they? It's basic privacy no? Just because I want to pay money to carrier to provide me with data and phone service, I shouldn't have to give up my location from my device…

Yes - but perpetual purchases have an interesting gotcha that Microsoft didn't realise at first. To encourage subscription over perpetual, ongoing or evergreen updates are limited …

Can't comment on quality - but I think it's more nuanced than adjusted too high. Was getting a lift from a friend in a less than 1 year old Yaris cross. Noticed many cars flashing …

I've seen some theories or maybe more like guesses as to how the paywall bypass works - I don't think anyone (or at least no one posting places like here) seems to know. One I saw …

I'm thinking they considered this strongly, since that's what they did with the steam deck. We don't know price yet, but if it's like the deck they'll be trying to keep it as cheap…

The public outcry was to ban cars - literally. They blocked streets, and did what they needed to to block drivers and vehicles. It's long enough ago that maybe the abrasiveness and…

Yes - I'm running a LM Studio on windows on a 6800xt, and everything works more-or-less out of the box using always using Vulkan llama.cpp on the gpu I believe. There's also ROCm. …

Microsoft.com and Office.com used to be entirely built upon SharePoint, as SharePoint solutions. It was to prove it out as possible, eat your own dogfood. I think the shift away st…

Something not touched on by others. The standard Microsoft contract outlawed any moonlighting for years, any code you created was potentially going to be claimed by Microsoft - so …

CodeFlow lives on and is still held in high regard. It's even made it's way to support the github repos, not just git. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/codeflow/aphnoipoco.…

This wasn't my first impression of this, but the more I heard this dicussed the more I'm forming an opinion that there might be some intentional parts of this that while maybe not …

I find frequently the smaller and simpler the subject, the more people can easily confidently grasp it and generate quick to share opinions. Noticed this with Code Reviews. To a po…

I think the market is very limited for high end iGPUs in practice with the compromises that occur with them. On Desktop, upgradability is very popular and obviously the returns fro…

It's a deep and complicated part of history, but I think calling out a single main problem really risks skipping over the depth and scale of the problems. Scattered points - but du…

I suppose it's dissapointing that the 6800xt launched over 4 years ago at $649 with 16gb as welll. Inflation can partly explain this, buts still - we had been used to progress acro…

Roundabouts with traffic lights are a bit of a failure alright - and the larger ones are i'd argue not roundabouts at all - they just share the shape. I believe traffic lights are …

Not really. You can walk to your car, hop in and drive out anytime. They just have security to check who is coming and going, not to stop anyone. Better still, you can cycle out wi…

Microsoft competes directly CrowdStrike with Defender across multiple areas - I'm not sure they recommend them to customer over their own products at the cost of losing sales. I do…

I'm no so sure, it at least looked like it was tumbling before and throughout re-entry. If they had attitude control, I think they would have at least stopped the visible rotation …

But many subreddits took a vote before taking action, so it's not like the moderators did this out of the blue. The subreddit model seems to me to work as a combination of moderato…

I think it's emissions and range rankings. When you are trying to shave off every last bit of weight to get your car into a lower emissions class, the spare wheel looks like a wast…

I think it is hard, as the obvious place to but the batteries in the car is as low as possible and between the axles. In a small ICE vehicle - depending on your definition of small…
