I highly doubt that that's the last word on that matter, but even if: Even before LLMs you could combine individual non-copyrighted components into something copyrighted.

A stopped clock is also right twice a day.

Assuming you're not using the proposed streaming option, I suppose you could always send a webhook for that fact alone? In other words, an empty notification, with semantics of "so…

I find it pretty annoying that iCloud Private Relay does not work together with VPNs. I mainly use VPNs to access bank sites (or other sites that are annoying enough to use IP coun…

And the firmware remaps them, as far as I know. That's very different from a firmware exposing a bad sector list to the host, which is the case for some flash systems, I believe.

Not nearly all flash systems (including NAND based ones) use a dedicated controller. I believe e.g. iOS devices have for a long time still handled bad block handling in software, w…

Arguably, missing IP literal domain support is pretty far down the list of things creating today's actual mail delivery walled garden.

Do you have any examples?

If you call FIOS the "bare minimum", what is an acceptable connection to you? In my experience, it's one of the best ISPs I've ever had. Installation alone was phenomenal. This is …

Are you arguing that a country as large and wealthy as the US can only solve one problem at a time or that fast, affordable Internet access is somehow a luxury problem?

Smaller territory is an often-repeated claim for why any particular infrastructure strategy doesn't transfer to the US, but that makes no sense to me as most numbers can just be sc…

What exactly is the point of the LLM-generated infographics in this article? I don't have a problem with LLM-generated content in principle, but the bare minimum an author has to d…
