My Insta360s have wifi builtin, you have to connect to it with their phone app to do some of the processing. It's kind of nice, especially away from home but I wouldn't know how yo…

A friend and I were talking about this. What would you pay for it? When iTunes + came out, you had 2 options, you could buy a song for $0.99 or you could be the plus version for mo…

Where do interest rates factor in to your calculus? We've just had really cheap money for a really long time in the US and the car makers seem to have adapted and found ways to sel…

There is some truth in that. Like I said, I'm a fan, but I also remember some painful times where we were missing a physical terminator and at least twice adding a new device and h…

You may not have ever had to deal with SCSI termination errors before. Earlier system had to have the device numbers manually assigned, if they were wrong, all sorts of weird thing…

Then surely when they started pushing back on Yucca Mountain opening up, the federal government could have just bought one of the many mines that no longer produces, right? Why has…

Did waste management become a solved problem? In Colorado they shut down their last reactor (a very modern, at the time, thorium unit) in 1989 and there is still tons of waste prod…

That's what I took notice of... About half their revenue is subscription and about half is advertising. 100m users. $220 per home? I would think that's high. They certianly have en…

It absolutely is. The only concerns are if it were exposed to the public internet and scale. For personal stuff? It's spectacular.

Well, a month ago was my last use for about a year. A user with a 96% positive feedback and definitely a lot of sales slow played and then issued a fake UPS tracking number. The ne…

I try not to use it and then something will come up and I use it. Could be my market, or who knows what but there seems to be more scams. It’s the only place someone can give you a…

Not a fan of spirit. I used to kind of like Frontier, but they ended that. I was doing a two hour flight monthly for business, 2 hours each way. Frontier was about half the cost of…

I’m at peace with the memory and PCIe basically flows over thundebolt. At one point external gpus were a thing. I think what I’d really love would be a couple or few m.2 slots in m…

Look up castle doctrine. It's the laws that we have. Basically, if someone breaches your home, you're under no obligation to back down and if you respond with lethal force you have…

Does OpenAI use a lot of python? There is the literal benefit of "we use the hell out of this tool, we need to make sure it stays usable for us" and then there is what they can lea…

You couldn't convince me that IBM lost it.. The licensing would be my guess, Microsoft owned some of the code, there may have been other third party code in there too.

‘Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these’

And perhaps more importantly, “Suggestions otherwise are fake news” https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/06/irans-nuclear-fa...

I have that sort of arrangement. I've been wondering though. What's the proper data access protocol? Like I want it available, easily, if the police need it and I'm not there but a…

The assembler seems like nearly the easiest part. Slurp arch manuals and knock it out, it’s fixed and complete.

Makes you wonder. Technology usually becomes less expensive. Car companies have used it as a differentiator for years though. There are giant cost differences between like a base l…

Doesn’t lubrazol make billions by formulating mineral oils to purpose?

As someone that has built security applications for most of this century, I can confidently say that when you make security the problem of one device, system, team or entity that i…

I agree with the sentiment. I think timing is pretty important, though, and a cooling-off period might be a kind gesture for his loved ones. I posit that self-reflection might be a…

Are they that terrible, or is it the market and those of us with our own media are becoming more of the minority? I do question, at times, the amount of effort I put in to curating…
