Oh. I thought he made them sharper so it becomes a double use laptop:

Oh he cropped the transformer angel soldier at the top

The original text on the hat said “PED…” which was more appropriate in the image

Rudy Giuliani without glasses?

I don’t know what’s worse: having delusions of grandeur so extreme that you think you’re Jesus, or having such advanced dementia that you can’t tell a prophet apart from a doctor

Nissan proposed to make a street lamp with a used car battery module in the base, so each lamp can hold 10 kWh distributed neatly all around the city

Something that no one will use.

Idea: let’s force all WhatsApp and Instagram users to use it by putting unwanted buttons in the UI

If you don’t pay, you don’t see the results.

The test is free, but not seeing the results.

It’s very infuriating, especially from this website, because it’s a 40 questions test which require some thought. You can easily waste 30-40 minutes before getting asked your email for getting the result “on a safe link”, for additional verification. Then you click the link via email (confirming that your email is valid and you can receive spam) and you get those fake loading bars that take like 2 minutes

✔️ Loading results
✔️ Reading all your responses
✔️ Elaborating your score
✔️ Comparing your score with other people
✔️ Generating your certificate
✔️ Fetching your certificate

And only then, when your patience is almost gone, and your expectations are at the top, they ask for a symbolic payment to “maintain their service”. What to do? Rage quit after having wasted one hour on this scam or pay the $2?

Will this $600m ballroom be finished before the end of president?

Which fines, this is just an internal rule in an organization.

At most can be rightfully banned from contributing

It someone is contributing with code that doesn’t really understand, then shouldn’t contribute

I’m sorry to report that in order to see the results, you basically fail the IQ test:

It’s a very dark pattern, they ask the $2 only after 40 minutes of questions and after getting your email for spam. Then they show that classic fake loading and fake elaborating screens. At that point you’re exhausted and just pay

Yes but sometimes, for example core parts of windows 11 like the start menu, don’t need to be cross platform and should be native, not a pwa

For me the unthinkable is giving my hard earned money to a multi billion dollar corporation

Proprietary hardware and nobody reverse engineered the drivers for graphics and all the proprietary shit.

They didn’t technically locked it down but they making sure that using an alternative operating system it’s a miserable experience

Not on M3 and newer. That means everything released in the last 2-3 years

It’s the same stuff if you ask it to help you master a foreign language in dialogue mode

• Help me practicing English pronunciation"

• Sure thing! Now say “travel”

• *user just belches in the mic*

• great job! You really aced the accent!

The company’s decision to train the closed-source model on third-party open-source models, including a Chinese one developed by Alibaba, will also likely raise eyebrow

Lol wait, what’s this, some kind of centipede, they trained on the outputs of another model that was previously trained on the outputs of another model

Garbage in garbage out

I don’t speak french or Spanish, but in Italian “windows ti ha piantato” it has the same three nuances that op wrote. When a computer is “piantato” it means it’s frozen/crashed. Like it’s stuck, planted in the ground.

For example someone can shout “Cazzo!!! Questo cazzo di computer si è piantato e ho perso il salvataggio del cazzo! Cazzo!”

Also a girlfriend can “piantato” = break up or do no show on appointment. And also “piantato” main meaning is to plant something in the spil

My conspiracy theory: those signing keys are very “tasty” maybe Microsoft was aware that some state-sponsored attacker got hold on them and blacklisted for everyone’s safety.

Imagine what would happen if NSA or that other Israeli spy company could sign fake veracrypt or Wireshark binaries

Xbox gaining high percentage because they sell 100x less units than Sony.

From that famitsu issue:

Hardware Sales (followed by lifetime sales)

Switch 2 – 59,543 (5,011,059)
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 12,141 (1,248,515)
Switch OLED Model – 7,468 (9,526,329)
Switch Lite – 4,807 (6,903,964)
Switch – 4,067 (20,0271,045)
PlayStation 5 Pro – 840 (341,548)
PlayStation 5 – 558 (5,910,474)
Xbox Series X – 525 (325,952)
Xbox Series X Digital Edition – 278 (29,362)
Xbox Series S – 129 (341,622)

So, PS5 digital non pro sold 12k units while the equivalent Xbox digital non pro sold 120 units.

If next month a Japanese retailer does a clearance sale and sells 200 Xboxes the headline isn’t “Xbox got a massive 100% increase in sold units in Japan, while Sony tumbled 2%”
