Yeah, they're nearly twice the price.

Far more capable though, and typically specced with 16GB RAM and a 500GB SSD.

Blackmist , 24 days ago to Technology in All three game console makers, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, have now abandoned X (formerly Twitter) integration

I think it's more that it costs money to use the Twitter API now.

Blackmist , 25 days ago to Technology in EVs Could Last Nearly Forever—If Car Companies Let Them

Indeed just like a regular car.

If cars lasted forever, they'd all go out of business within 20 years.

Blackmist , 25 days ago to Technology in Apple refused to pay bounty to Kaspersky for uncovering vulnerability in 'Operation Triangulation' - 9to5Mac

Is that the case though. You can buy a copy of Kaspersky anti virus right now if you live in the US. They have a US office. You can legally send them money.

The battery doesn't have to fail for the car to be useless. One of those circuit boards that holds it all together goes and it's "whoops, we don't make that any more".

There's an old expression: Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.

If a car has a warranty of 10 years, it will last 11 years.

Blackmist , 25 days ago to solarpunk memes in no really how do we fix this?

That's the neat part, you don't.

The top results have been useless spam for a decade or more at this point, and the only difference is Google sit there hoovering up the money instead. The money is in the way of search. Any popular search engine will end up the same way.

It's a shite situation, but until somebody makes a non-profit search engine and filters out spammy results, we'll continue to Google, scroll down two pages for a reddit link, and carry on.

Blackmist , 26 days ago to Technology in Microsoft addresses Windows Recall backlash, promises to fix security issues and make it opt-in

Surely it's opt in anyway, seeing as you need some special wanky laptop with a magical AI bollocks chip for it to work.

Blackmist , 28 days ago to Technology in This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI

Every banking site I've been on jumps through all sorts of hoops to make sure the browser doesn't save the password, usually with some 2FA thrown into the mix.

But I'd imagine that a lot of older people have a helpful passwords.txt file sat smack bang in the middle of their desktop, or just use the same one for everything. I mean, we're in an age where you need a username and password to update your graphics drivers for some godforsaken reason. It's not going to be hard to find that The One True Password with access to this.

It barely matters if the database is encrypted or not. If the user has access to it, they have the keys to it, and so would anybody else with access.

The real danger is that intruders will have access to your entire history from before they had access to your machine, and it's all in one place.

Backporting the ads?

Blackmist , 1 month ago to linuxmemes in I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.

SNES ROMs were actually around 4MB. People always spoke about them being 32 Meg or whatever, but they meant megabits.

I did like Animal Well, but gave up after looking at one of the bunny solutions and deciding I didn't have the patience for that.

I think most of the size of games is just graphics and audio. I think the code for most games is pretty small, but for some godforsaken reason it's really important that they include incredibly detailed doorknobs and 50 hours of high quality speech for a dozen languages in raw format.

Blackmist , 1 month ago to Technology in Butts, breasts, and genitals now explicitly allowed on Elon Musk’s X

"What do you mean Coca-Cola doesn't want their ads next to a video of three men fisting each other?"
