- How is YouTube going to deal with all the storage of these videos?
- I think this game is closer to the Mario Party mini games than Jackbox, in terms of pacing.
- These games ran so well on IBM XT computers. Honestly, seeing these games made me realise PC’s could be used for gaming.
Carmack was a genius.
- I’m fairly certain that Sony TV’s ask you where you want to use it as a Smart TV or a Dumb TV when setting it up.
- From what I’ve seen is most organisations have moved to Amazon Corretto, and stuck with it.
It’s TCK-certified, supported by Amazon, and completely free.
So I don’t see the need to use any other distribution, unless it is for a niche requirement.
- I wonder if this is why Xbox Series X never achieved a noticeable performance advantage over PlayStation 5, despite having more capable hardware.
- The PS4 lineup pales in comparison to the PS3 lineup, which pales in comparison to the PS2 lineup, which pales in comparison to the PS1 lineup.
Each generation has around half the number of games as the previous. This does get a bit murky with the advent of shovelware in online stores, but my point remains.
I think this only proves is that games are now ridiculously expensive to create and met the quality standards expected. Maybe AI will improved this in this future. Take-Two has confirmed that GTA6's budget has exceeded US$1 billion, which is mind-blowing.
- The US can’t. This has long been solved in other countries, to varying degrees.
- Australia has long had fires. Fires are an integral part of Australia’s historic natural environment.
So much so, that Eucalyptus trees evolved to become a fire dependent species that benefits from regular burning. This is why they are so dangerous when planted in places like Los Angeles.
- Unfortunately you can’t use the ‘big knob’ without looking at the screen, which is entirely self defeating.
- An LLM-based Siri is expected in early 2026.

I wonder if this new Siri would be limited to Pro devices. It would be strange for Apple to release a new feature exclusive for Pro devices that wasn’t mentioned in the September iPhone event.
- We don't see these attacks nearly as severe or frequent on Maven, which is a much older package management solution. Maven users would be far more attractive targets given corporates extensively run Java.
- Even so. It has amazing backwards compatibility and package management.
- Is it just me, but doesn’t it seem like a terrible idea to bake the COPILOT trademark into the name of an Excel function?
It could allow Microsoft to threaten to use trademark law against competitors who support the Excel file format.
It would also mean Microsoft would need to provide indefinite support for a function name that might not survive more than a few marketing cycles.
- Says an article with a paywall.
- Broadcom just want to milk corporates. That is their business model.
I’m sure they will commercialise the Spring framework and force fragmentation. Not unlike what happened to Java and Docker.
- They sort of are.
I think the confusion arises because the IBM PC ASCII (code page 437) included comprehensive box-drawing characters between hexidecimal character positions B3 and DA. These weren't adopted into Unicode in the same character positions, but the box-drawing characters were definitely part of the commonly understood ASCII character set.
But I think that this ASCII tree editor should have a toggle option for basic vs extended ASCII, by utilising +, -, and | characters.
- It’s because most companies already have a lot of confidence with Microsoft contracts, and are generally very comfortable storing and processing highly sensitive data on Microsoft’s SaaS platforms. It’s a significant advantage.
Also Microsoft Azure hosts its own OpenAI models. It isn’t a proxy for OpenAI.
- Unfortunately Tamiya connectors are known to melt when paired with modern RC electronics (Brushless motors and LiPo batteries). Most hobbyists use Deans or XT connectors.
- Another factor is that credit providers (i.e. banks) are increasingly using customer transaction data to assess customer behaviour as part of its risk scoring.
If a customer is regularly purchasing adult material that would be definitely be a red flag.
- Would it? Printers are a great example. Almost every printer made in the last 20 years supports at least PCL6 perfectly fine.
Why do we still need thousands of proprietary drivers, when just one will do?
- Australia’s in EuroVision, Canada just needs to grab its mic too.
- Ok. So the article is not being entirely factual by saying it was coded in BASIC.
- > The original Pirates came out in 1987, written by Sid Meier for the Commodore 64, using the BASIC programing language.
What the? BASIC!!! Astonishing that you could develop and publish a successful C64 game using BASIC.
- I have always wondered why Windows never had a unified installation, update, and uninstall framework like MacOS had from the start. It seems like an obvious omission that was never solved.
Even now corporate customers need to individually package software themselves to manage applications in their fleet.
My guess is that Microsoft encouraged applications to share DLLs from the start, and to provide backwards compatibility Microsoft never enforced MSI or a mature software management framework.
- “We had a couple of issues, but importantly we did launch on time”
- It’s a shame about Redcycle.
However since then many small cycle plastic to oil (Pyrolysis) plants have popped up, which are set to scale up. This reclaimed oil will be used to create new plastic.
Australia is targeting 50% recycled content in its packaging by this year.
- I can’t help feel this is too late. Android Automotive has been out for a while, and it seems like half the manufacturers have either moved or are moving to it.
Google wins this round I’m afraid.
