    Look up "wireless printing" in the App Store sometime. As best I can tell, one or two actors have spammed the entire category with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of subscription-heavy r…

    In this case it’s actual malice, that the streaming stick is set up for residential proxy and ad fraud straight from the factory. But incompetence can lead to the same place if it’…

    Oh, that's pretty clever! Create a dummy display that never actually renders anywhere and use it as the holding area for "temporarily hidden" windows. Does the dummy display have t…

    This just became my new favorite daily game. The only thing I’d change is the time resolution: 1750-2000 should probably have the same number of divisions as 1000-3000 BC.

    Thanks for the corroboration. Something that apparently might be possible is using the private framework for Spaces to offload windows to a "holding Space"; I haven't tried it beca…

    I’ve been building a window manger for macOS that involves hiding windows offscreen, but I’ve found AccessibilityKit clamps position writes at the screen edge, so I’ve had to settl…

    > A graph of those trends shows physical sales peaking in the 12 months ending June 2009 I had no idea physical game sales had peaked so long ago. I would have guessed something li…

    Sketch lost the market to Figma, and now Figma is losing the market to vibe coding. I'm not sure what the value proposition of Sketch is these days apart from local, non-cloud edit…

    As bad as this is, it’s worth noting that this is the same incident that was widely reported earlier this month. Sony has only rugpulled hundreds of purchased titles from customers…

    This is not really intended as a product you will use today. This is an intentionally provocative statement on the future of work, where your keyboard is not supplemented by, but r…

    Given what the mother has been through and how the kids seem to be doing largely all right, I honestly can’t decide whether this is dystopian or utopian.

    I would have been very hesitant to run the “just killed wife“ test given that ChatGPT will indeed flag your account and if a certain threshold is crossed, escalate to humans, who w…

    The fact that they already extended subscription Fable once would suggest it won’t be solely locked behind API next week, but at the same time it really does look like they are doi…

    It could still compete with Unreal! If this really is the end of the line for IdTech, ZeniMax should gift the whole thing to the Blender Foundation. I would pitch it as: - Huge tax…

    Yes. As I suggested in another thread: an open-source, modern IdTech would fill the empty quadrant in the Godot : Unity :: ____ : Unreal matrix. A few mid-size studios pitching in …

    This is correct. It is entirely possible for both the archetypal blood-sucking MBA and the pragmatic industry veteran to reach the same conclusion for different reasons. The build …

    The great thing about the new multi-layer icon format in Golden Gate is that it finally separates an icon's foreground from the background. So in theory, it opens the door to retur…

    I assume those don't just work automatically with an off-the-shelf gguf. What do you need in your local inference stack to take advantage of M5's neural accelerators?

    I was not expecting the part where Fable produces a passable 3Blue1Brown-style explainer video of the algorithms it just implemented that sounds like it's narrated by a character f…

    This was only ever a gag, right? I tried it in the early hours of the meme and got something to the effect of “you didn’t attach an image, so I don’t have anything to work from.”
