A small number of companies control the meat supply in the United States. If you decide that you don't want to buy that $50 hot dog, you likely won't have many comparable options.

I've noticed a lot of astroturfing lately. It really bothers me, because it was kind of my last bastion of sanity for online tech discourse. Every forum I've used is now full of ma…

They said IE was the best browser, not the most popular. I wouldn't dispute that IE was more commonly used at the time. Just checked your link and this fits with what I thought in …

I agree with you on everything except the browser. I'm pretty sure I was using Firefox (or maybe Opera?) on Windows before the release of Vista. I know I was still using IE for som…

I hate to wade into this cesspool. How about some of the real obvious ones: * Crypto currency rug pulls (World Liberty Financial) * Donations linked with pardons (Binance) * Pardon…

This isn't my area, but wouldn't this still be quite effective if it automatically grouped and batched those jobs for you? At low throughput levels, it doesn't need giant batches, …

My knowledge is outdated, as I last seriously looked at it about nine years ago, but I doubt Binder is even better than dbus; it was not good. I'm quite surprised with people sugge…

I used to work for a general contractor who did residential remodels and construction, and a little bit of commercial work. He exclusively used cargo vans. He would carpet the inte…

Do we even think that was real? I think social media has been astroturfed for a long time now. If enough people make those claims, it starts to feel true even without evidence to s…

I think you missed an important point in the parent comment. You can override the allocation for C++ coroutines. You do have control over details like allocation. C++ coroutines ar…

What is the reason you included Claude 3.5 instead of 3.7 in this?

Lots of crazy stuff in here. > Initially, the FSB was mainly interested in getting its hands on our equipment, presumably in the hopes of confirming its hypothesis regarding our li…

My suspicion is the same as yours, that this may have been caused by local ISPs being overwhelmed, but it could be a million other things too. I had network issues. I live in a hea…

This is how it was for me growing up blue collar in the northeastern USA in the 80s. My father fixed everything in the house and the vehicles. I inherited my older siblings clothes…

It would be absolutely devastating to me too. I only do my gaming on Linux, and my large game catalog is through Steam. Which means that even if they can't really shutdown Proton b…

I guess it depends on what level you're generating the events at. On Linux, it would be completely reasonable to inject the input events at the input device level. https://www.kern…

This is really interesting for me to read. I encountered a DMA lockup in the hardware by an Ethernet MAC implementation on an ARM chip. It was a Synopsys Designware MAC implementat…

Wow. It feels like that "Got it!" dialog box has to violate privacy laws at least somewhere in the world.

Has anyone here has used FreeNX? I had read good things about its performance over the network (and even cell networks), but I've never encountered anyone who's actually used it. I…

Maybe not the right thread for this, but it seems there are downsides. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6363527/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7014832/

After following a few links through this one. It sounds like it might be the "LG Homehack vulnerability" discussed here: https://www.ibtimes.com/homehack-attack-vulnerability-lg-ap…
