You definitely didn't make it to 35 on NES Tetris! The former world champion got the first level 35 run in 2020 using hypertapping.

The best of the best can only make it to 29 using the original (DAS) control scheme.

You've got the problem the wrong way around. No crafted combo of glitch keys was used here.

At this stage in the game, you need a tool-assisted play in order to avoid crashing it. Several legit moves (or non-moves -- simply not pushing down pieces is one) crash the game.

News site links all over to itself but the actual feature is just text of a URL you have to copy yourself.

Imagine riling up conservatives against socialist flat-rate postage. Then when mail prices skyrocket in their location you redirect their rage into divisiveness.

Nah, it'd never work.

AI is only going to be as good as the instructions you give it. This is solved by some variant of giving the AI an instruction like "you will be honest and respect the law at all times".

This article is why OpenAI puts in such high guard rails. This is a very known issue that people with an agenda will frame however they want.

OLED gets persisted images because the pixels wear out during use. A typical screensaver will not help here as it is just more "use". The way to "undo" the wear is actually just to level out the remaining pixels to a similar wear level.

This is entirely a game of avoiding wear in the first place whenever possible (pixel shift), making the wear as uniform as possible (full-panel maintenance refresh), followed by being leaving some voltage buffer to boost the brightness of worn pixels to match original levels and fix any interim non-uniformity.

Kids who haven't developed taste yet can still just flood their case with rainbows. Easier now than ever, really. That's not who this motherboard is for, though, and it isn't what enthusiasts consider cool anymore -- it's just as gaudy to them as it is to you.

This part is going to be integrated into a really meticulously designed case with every part working together to create a theme that goes beyond just color. It'll perfect out of sight cabling, custom run water cooling, probably some action figures hanging around in or around the case.

They want performance, but also want it to look good. There's no reason you can't have both today.

(said as someone with my own PCs configured more like how you prefer... functional, performant, not loud or bright)

Here's the thing: Iridium is expensive as fuck.

Apple went with Globalstar, a satellite network that has spottier coverage: it doesn't work most places of the world, and even where it does work it requires you to wait for a satellite and aim your phone. However, it's cheaper.

Iridium is different. It works over most of the globe, it is reliable under dense coverage, it is fast, and in most cases doesn't require any effort from the user. And you pay for it.

Samsung isn't going to be able to bring out a flagship phone with Iridium SOS and include two years of it in the cost of the device. It will be expensive enough that only people who seriously need it will buy it. That relegates it only to specialized devices which is a respectable market but not at the scales Qualcomm wants.

Bing is getting investments right and left, but still can't beat Google at search results. If Google was truly resting on their laurels (I think they do this in other places, certianly) then I'd expect Bing to eclipse them.

In reality I suspect that web developers have made apps more complex and harder -- if not impossible, for poorly made SPA apps -- to interpret, index, and search. SEO has outpaced their ability to fight it. The web is simply harder to search today than it was 10 years ago.

I believe Windows Phone was before the One Microsoft initiative, and was a victim of infighting among different teams.

Having used all three, I maintain Windows Phone had some great ideas, a slick design language, and better usability than Android and iOS at the time. It was very pro-user in some ways, like allowing carrier-installed software to be uninstalled and attempting to merge all your social media into a uniform messages app.

It was interesting seeing Microsoft in a mode of trying to gain ground through simply making better tech, because it was one area where they couldn't effectively leverage their existing marketshare.
