Many of those are due for retirement purely due to age. There isn’t a replacement system for many of them. Furthermore, countermeasures have gotten better; future designs will better take these into account.

What the fuck is a GRAVITY BOMB

Simply means it is a free-fall bomb. They are cheaper to make as they don’t require an entire ICBM to deliver.

Ryzen laptops which feature capable integrated GPUs serve light and medium gaming tasks well. For heavy use, there are desktops, which is where the real power is. Portable systems like the Steam Deck are also hitting from the mobile side as well.

Gaming laptops have always been an extremely niche product and have gotten squeezed from all ends in recent years.

Tell Russia to stop issuing nuclear threats, we just got another one from Putin in the last 24 hours. It’s easy to dial back tensions when you aren’t being threatened with annihilation on a daily and weekly basis.

they also had gay marriage … before we did

The US legalized gay marriage nationwide in 2015; Mexico didn’t achieve the same until 2022.

Yeah, that’s the issue with the argument of ‘just turn it off’. You can turn it off, then tomorrow there will be another thing to turn off (hope you were paying attention to the news to find out what it was!). The next day an update will come along and turn half of them back on. The following the mental script you made to will stop working because they moved half the settings, etc, etc, etc.

It’s a never ending battle as Microsoft fundamentally does not respect their paying users. Microsoft could add a top-level toggle box to automatically disable bloatware, telemetry, and the privacy nightmare that is OP’s story about how the OS records everything you do, but they don’t have this. They don’t want you turning this stuff off, they don’t respect you.

Really happy to see replaceable batteries! It’s a wear item and guaranteed to brick your device after a number of years if they aren’t replaceable.

Assuming the accounting system this thing links with both does not protect from SQL injection attacks (many don’t, despite it being easy to protect against) and also has a table named “Bills” with a field named “amount”; what this would do is go through every single Bills record and half the value in the amount field. This would completely fuck the system, particularly when it came to billing and tax filing as the numbers for accounts billing and receivable wouldn’t even come close to matching each other. The accounting department would have a hell of a time fixing the damage.

I’m still annoyed with how verbose Objective-C is. Just check out what one has to do to create and concatenate a string. Madness:

    NSString * test = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"This is a test string."];
    NSString * test2 = [test stringByAppendingString:@" This value is appended."];

And god forbid you want to concatenate two things to a string:

    NSString * test3 = [test1 stringByAppendingString:[test2 stringByAppendingString:@" Adding a third value."]];

As someone who is bad at CSS, I can confirm at least half of your statement. ;p

Reignited the West’s arms industry as well! We had gotten complacent until Putin started the largest war in Europe since WWII.

Same. There is a logic to all code choices. Even basic things like the placement of empty lines to group code into ‘idea blocks’ massively helps with readability. This idea block touches x, and this next idea block touches y.

A tool can’t perform perform even basic logic like that.

on all these different clunky uis and software

As someone who has used security cam software before. I swear they are designed to be as unhelpful, slow, and convoluted as possible.

Putin nor Russia are mentioned in the article or title. Poster is simply lying in the headline.
