Wait what... there's carpet underneath all this stuff somewhere. I'd get my snorkel to go explore this but I'm pretty sure the now sentien 50 lb ball/snaggle of clothing that is taking over my bed has also swallowed the snorkel

This just sounds like a death ray but with more steps. Don't let techbros build death rays in outer space. It's a bad idea. You know they're going to want to see what happens if they focus it

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

I've seen two cars in the past 3 months high-speed veer into the bike lane on eastbound Dearborn avenue under I5 so they could run the light and get on the freeway. 1st one was Right in front of me and I was ‹ 10 Seconds away from being in that area. The flappy things are a pointless waste of money

I was hoping this was going to come out cooler after it got done cooking. Maybe bigger pieces of spring cheese would help.

A rising crust pizza before it goes into the oven with strung cheese spelling out trans and two rows of letters with the TR up top and the ANS on the bottom.

Well same pizza. After coming out the oven you can barely see where it says trans now sort of bummed. I was hoping it would come out cooler.

Av software and a good hardware firewall like pf sense for x86 or openwrt for arm can help with some with os vulnerabilities. You still usually need to run some sort of software or open something to exploit them. Av software can help detect that and firewall can stop network access sending data out

When there's a really bad one, Microsoft still patches it just like they did with spectre and meltdown long after Windows 7 support ended. They'll do out of bound updates if necessary.

Microsoft not releasing updates for it might actually be a net positive. Less for them to fuck up. If the system you got is working for you today. It's going to work fine the day after no more MS updates When browsers stop supporting an OS is when I get more worried about it.

win 11 has ruined my logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad. I get a copilot shortcut hasn't been set yet setting screen. Every few months I have to find a new solution to win 11 using a right to left slight swipe to open copilot shit. An hour of surfing the net will pop up that window 30 or more times

Yeah the price took my breath away for a second. But the more I see .. looks like a damn nice machine, also a sampler. Got actual analog circuits based on 808 and 909 but more controls.

I got half a chub reading an article about the new Roland tr1000 drum machine coming out. Its nice to see there actually is going to be some analog voices.

Be careful. I'm pretty sure that's a trick knob. I tried to turn down the reality on reality and it just upped the reality.
