The fact that Apple went to the trouble to develop a Windows driver for the Pro Display XDR but lock it down so it only works on Macs running Boot Camp - there is no justification …

You literally want to place the blame solely on a third world country for the deaths and disease of all these child laborers when it's our first world addiction to their resources …

I think you got downvoted because people like Teslas more than they care about African children.

But arguably Webassembly is also dumb and has no reason to exist, so there's that on top of it being a great way to obfuscate malicious code.

I think the shields analogy is misplaced. Also, a manager blaming themself for the choices of their employees shouldn't be a hard rule. As a manager I do my best to create a good e…

If Tinder forced people to do background checks, propublica would do a similar write-up about how invasive that is and how it disproportionately affects [affected group]. The only …

The far-right is already seizing on this story as proof that San Francisco is just like Venezuela.

Don't use a work computer for any personal or side projects. Otherwise the employer may be able to claim copyright ownership over the work.

They paid the hacker $20,000. That's a nice way of shooting the messenger!

The law also says there can be no gender wage gap. I've worked at several big tech companies and they all abused H1B's. The immigrant workers were paid a lot less than citizens. It…

Don't you mean 14++++++? They still can barely get 10nm working in laptops, much less desktop or servers. By the time they do, AMD will be far ahead of them process-wise.

I'm running a Threadripper 2950X in my primary workstation, Ubuntu 19.10. I have not encountered a single CPU-related issue with compilation in the 6 months I've been using this se…

What would you do with your career if you could do anything you wanted? It's hard to give advice without a sense of what you'd rather be doing. For whatever it's worth, I'm going t…

Well it's not a rumor anymore, AMD announced it.

They use a heatspreader (solid metal surface, the "top" of the chip) soldered to the actual cores. Then you slap a heatsink or water block on and tighten it down on the heatspreade…

I don't really see how the pricing is ridiculous though. They're still way cheaper than what Intel charged for the same cores a year ago, and they have more cores than Intel can ev…

I loved Comic Chat because I was 12 years old. I couldn't figure out what "lol" meant and it was really funny seeing the characters saying it with just a blank facial expression lo…

Amazon sells so many counterfeit Nike products that I've been using Nike and Adidas' online stores for quite awhile. Amazon is so bad when it comes to counterfeits that there are o…

To say an argument has been "debunked" implies that the argument holds no credibility, or the rhetorical equivalent of "I'm right, you're wrong." It is an attempt to shut down a di…

Anthropogenic? People keep throwing out terms like "clear" and "settled" and when asked to elaborate give responses like "it's in the science." So what specific conclusion in the s…

Yes and in the meantime it's burning steadily hotter.

There's nothing "settled" about question #2. The extent to which humans are responsible for climate change, comparative to external factors (such as the sun heading towards the end…
