I think I now know where I’ll order my next computer from.

After the first 4 words of the title I was assuming it was intentional - Glad it doesn’t seem to be, but HP’s reputation is just that bad.

Yeah, but “2nd place” (if it’s even that) is so far down that many of us including me haven’t even heard of it before.

Speaking of details wrong:

most downloaded local news app

• 50,000,000+ downloads

Meanwhile Google News (which does local):

• 1,000,000,000+ downloads

Not that it affects me, but is there already a ksetwacom planned?

True.

I just thought of a potential partial solution:
There could be companies that rent spaces in parking lots (with charging) specifically for automated cars, located just outside cities and commercial/industrial areas. Might even be useful to people in apartments or otherwise without a place to charge at home.

These would be closer to where the car needs to go later than all the way back home, and ideally on lower traffic routes.

I’d double my gas usage during the week

More likely power bill I’d think - I haven’t heard of anyone working on an autonomous gas powered car or even hybrid. Also a few states won’t even be allowing sales of gas cars in 11 years

But since it takes 10% of the space (vram, etc.) sounds like they could just start with a larger model and still come out ahead

It does feel that way, but…

“Linux 4.20 was released on Sun, 23 Dec 2018”

About 5.5 years.

… I’ve never seen that attributed before. Wow.

To prevent that, just add a magic license statement to the end of all your comments.

/s (sadly, this actually needs it.)

Wow, the SSD can hold the charges perfectly while unplugged for ages? Amazing.

Yup. Before flash memory, devices like video game cartridges which had game saves actually needed a battery to power the memory holding the saves.

C compilers (at least on personal computers) weren’t great at optimization back then and every kilobyte mattered - the user only got 640 of them, going beyond that required jumping through hoops.
Similar for MHz, hand optimization was important for performance since there was so little CPU time to go around.

Technically correct, but 7 and 8 were part of Windows 9x.
The last standalone version was 6.22

Yeah, the author is a bit 1337 hax0r, and is promoting their own tool, but I still thought the writeup was interesting. It’s interesting to see how much a non-root process can do to globally visible data.

Exclusive to iPhone. Not even a Web sign up.

There is also This transparent aluminum (linked in that same article) and it’s been used in phone/watch screens also.
