Most people don’t know they’re acting as a residential proxy, lots of devices and apps and free tools install spyware which often includes a proxy script. It’s a really shady marke…

Great move by Microsoft to spur Linux adoption by making Windows 11 installable only on the “latest and greatest” hardware. I have a T460p which is still perfectly fine for most of…

I think most LLM work will migrate to open weight models in a couple of years for this exact reason (as well as price), unless the big providers manage to have their way and the ma…

They might just merge with OpenAI. Right now it seems they are still working out who might come out on top but they are both burning tons of money and essentially offer the exact s…

Isn’t Apple potentially under a lot of pressure due to the DRAM prices as well as having to compete with AI for fab capacity? Before all the price hikes their products were already…

Good. The amount of people I see looking at their smartphone while driving, completely oblivious to what’s happening on the road is concerning. I don’t see why that footage needs t…

I think now a console like the Ouya could really be successful, I find when they tried this 10 years ago it was the worst moment possible as game hardware was cheap and competition…
