Comment Re: I use Brave (Score 1) 44

I am guessing you meant deprecated and not depreciated

It's a common problem nowadays with AI automatic spell checking just about everywhere. It's easy for a person to type a long paragraph and to find that one of the words typed has been surreptitiously replaced by the system. AI slop at its finest, making human authors say things they didn't actually say (probably) since 2022!

Figuring out exactly where some hidden setting resides that can disable this behaviour is futile: It's a full treasure hunt just to find it, and there's no guarantee that future updates won't change where/what the setting is.

It's just another aspect of the enshittification of the software industry.

Comment Anybody managed to reproduce Rowhammer? (Score 1) 12

I noticed way back that all the papers were done on laptops and many laptops skimp on refresh cycles to conserve energy, leading to a much higher sensitivity to this type of attack. I tried the test-code on 3 different desktop machines, absolutely no effect. Has anybody by now reproduced the Rowhammer-effect on a regular computer?

Comment I am not sure about that (Score 2) 44

I run three browsers (Vivaldi, Brave and Firefox) and I have started to note site-rot on Firefox, i.e. stuff does not work that works on both the others. Yes, I am aware both Vivaldi and Brave are Chromium based. But I have not found effects like that before. Before it was more random one of the three not doing stuff. Now, this may be a problem on the Web-dev side or a browser problem. But it is not a good sign.

Comment Re:Same "pilot" problem crashed the 737 Max's (Score 1) 160

A: No 737 Max crashed with a properly trained pilot in command. B: No 737 Max crashed with a US pilot in command.

What do you mean "properly trained pilot" and US? Is that your way of trying to insinuate the pilots were unqualified because there were "foreigners"? That is not true. All pilots were qualified according to Boeing as Boeing said they did not change the plane enough to warrant recertification of any pilots who had their 737 certifications

Indeed. What a bald-faced fucking lie. The pilots did not have the information they needed because Boeing did not provide it.
