I ditched reCaptcha and switched to Cloudflare Turnstile recently. It’s been a lot more effective. Not sure about this but I won’t be switching back for the time being.

It's just insane that a gift card redemption can trigger this. What's the rationale? It would make more sense if they just locked the person out of redeeming gift cards or somethin…

Even if you are buying at the low end, hardware simply doesn't age that quickly nowadays. Comparing against of the M series chips, I'd be surprised if anyone found an M1 Air unbear…

Same here. I got really sick the second time I had Covid (despite it being a more “mild” strain - Omicron I believe). Was bedridden for almost two weeks and had a rebound fever. Wi…

Well, let's also ban alcohol consumption since it's bad for you. Let's also ban all forms of violent media since that could potentially be bad for you when viewed in excess (simila…

Wordpress.com would be the equivalent. That said, they don't exactly offer an unmodified WP experience either at least not without upgrading to the higher tier plans. The base plan…

I agree it’s not as important. There have still been some rather high .com sales though… Ai.com sold for 11M recently. Now personally, I have never accessed ChatGPT through that do…

Looking at sales of other domains I don’t think 10M is insane for the right buyer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_domain_... , Beer.com sold for 7M in 2004.

MSFT went sideways for like a decade too. Who knows... Intel is doing something the others aren't with building its own fabs. Which arguably carries a lot of risk but it could pay …

Yeah, they should really unlock the virtualization capabilities. That IMO would make a lot of power users happy. I would love for them to also offer some sort of dual boot option f…

They should just unlock the iPad's virtualization capabilities. That would let power users run a desktop OS without them really needing to support it. Also I don't particularly car…

The irony is Meta have a draconian stance against site scrapers, and have been known to sue over it. Yet they go and do this. Which is much worse than just scraping public pages.

Well, I hold crypto, but admittedly it's kind of failed as far as payments are concerned. I used to use BTC quite regularly for payments back in like 2014-2015. But now, it's too e…

I think E3 was on its way out regardless. Nintendo dropped out of E3 years before COVID even happened. I attended a few years and it seemed like the bigger publishers such as Activ…

Wages are definitely up, but if you factor in all the price increases of rent and groceries, I don't see how anything is better for the poorest. I've seen fast food places here hir…

Will they be able to buy though if they lose their job? Rate cuts usually come with a spike in unemployment, so... That said I still don't think there will be a collapse unless the…

Rate cuts are usually done in response to unemployment spiking. It could take things awhile to recover once they start cutting as that likely means the economy has entered a recess…

Yea uh... I don't think it's for telemetry. These aren't the original developers of the games and most aren't even professional devs, they probably just think it's cool to add thos…

WordPress itself offers managed hosting plans on wordpress.com. They have a free ad-supported plan, and the cheapest paid starts at $48/year. That's what they are competing against…

Too many people worth following still are using Twitter. Until they leave and there isn’t a reason to go on the site then there won’t be any mass exodus. I doubt the forced login i…

It ties in with Workspace nicely too, odd move for sure.

We don't. But by the same token, these are just allegations so far. It is interesting however, the SEC purportedly has tons of evidence of wrongdoing at these exchanges but complet…

Yep as long as you remain up-to-date I've never had a WP install hacked. Not saying the security is good - but there a lot of vulnerabilities reported with other similar software t…

Hard disagree with this. The current state of AI is impressive but it's not at the level of allowing everyone to program without prior knowledge. I suspect we're still a long ways …

I'm not sure AMD will catch up to Nvidia. Obviously there are a lot of traders betting on that right now, given that AMD has started to rally in response to Nvidia. However after a…
