That explains why ChatGPT has been running like shit all weekend. In the desktop app on Mac, it could not even complete a response. On the web, it would hang before you could input…

Yeah, most of these companies park their cash outside the US to avoid having to pay taxes, then borrow money in the US against their assets/stock. It worked great when interest rat…

Yeah, these rankings are bogus. Snapdragon is far superior to Honeycrisp.

I vote for more Stargate! It is a franchise that has just be languishing for far too long.

Try looking at the site with uBlock Origin turned on and the article is missing important details, since the affiliate links aren't being inserted. Makes for a hilarious read. "Thi…

The CPI is a propaganda tool. It is designed to keep the real inflation hidden to make it seem that inflation is not a real thing to worry about. Because it is formulated in secret…

Nothing like some good old-fashion collusion.

Facebook should just pay the link tax. They then need to add a link insertion fee for the media outlets, when they are the ones creating the links. Don't pay the fee, don't get any…

I had Spinel Clean and Tidy that let you clean-up your registry and various temp files that were left all over the place back in the Win95 era. Also Spinel ScreenPik which was a sc…

Delphi, ah the memories. I use to make a fair amount of money in the late 90s making shareware applications with Delphi. It was the most productive I have ever been as a developer.…

I will never understand how everyone forgets the first part of the second amendment. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State". That pesky regulat…

The ! glyph has some issues. Other than that, I like it.

Is it just me or are all of these "new" micro blogging platforms just trying to recreate RSS feeds. You take a few pieces of relatively simple tech and wire them up and you have so…

If the CCP wanted to cause chaos in the US, they would stop container ships from leaving China bound for North America.

They will require you to only accept Apple Pay in your restaurant, or you will have to remove your app from the app store. :)

If a business is purchased by a private equity company, it is not long for this world. Private equity is all about strip mining a business.

Florida purposely built a broken system under Governor Rick Scott. It was engineered to make sure that as few eligible people could access it as possible. It is socially and techni…

Really the "small government" party likes to use crony "capitalism" to line the pockets of the "private-sector" with as much tax payer dollars as they can.

I would say most of what passes for journalism, is no longer journalism. Journalism is about passing on the who-what-when-where-why. Factual information to the public. You see very…

Thank You! I could not have said that better myself.

It is because we understood the full-stack. There was not "frontend" and "backend" developers. There were designers and developers. Designers created designs. They were usually del…

I so agree. I miss good old fashion text based content. Simple, readable, and fast. There was a reason that the default links blue and underlined. Visited links were purple. You co…

I know I was freaking out and had to use Google directly. :)

Nashville is the place I would plant myself. Lived there for a large chuck of my life and miss it dearly. Great city with plenty of great neighbourhoods, good schools, lots of Univ…

There has a been a repeated pattern in Florida to hide and obfuscate data. The Governor's Office has been trying to paint a particular version of events since day one. Everything f…
