Whatever you think a “rug pull” is, this ain’t it. FOSS owes you literally nothing . Go build what you want for yourself, geez. Oh, and feel free to give it away to the world… OR N…

Tell me you haven’t used the latest models, without telling me you haven’t used the latest models? They do hallucinate at times, but you’re missing a lot of real utility by claimin…

That doesn’t mean the first phone is waste! There’s nothing wrong with wanting to buy a new phone. The law won’t reduce smartphone ewaste. It will just satisfy the people who want …

I don’t even use iCloud Photos and this was on by default. Very bad move by Apple to ship my photos off my device, without my permission, in any shape or form, I don’t care.

They literally spent months trying to work out the bugs. It’s an absolute admonishment of AMD’s software stack. Just look at their market value and it says everything you need to k…

You should not give these sites the benefit of rendering their own HTML. Ask your agent to convert the URL to markdown, and read it in VS Code or whereever.

Grain of salt due to the source? What is that supposed to mean? Tesla is so far ahead when it comes to these things (48V architecture), there literally is no other source in this c…

If this actually becomes law, it instantly makes it too dangerous to bother for me to ever ship software into the EU again. Under this law, consumers can claim compensation for dam…

Is the $1000/ton a law a physics, or could that ever possibly scale up and come down an order of magnitude?

The bus can only transport 100 people because it forces everyone to take the same route, regardless of where they are actually headed. This is not merely inconvenient, but a delusi…
