Seems like time kind of stops for the traveler. At 0.99c they would experience a year, while the rest of the universe would advance 1,300 years. So it seems... it would not be the great great grandchildren, it could be you.
Time is quite relative to the organic human rotting away at a rate of 0.99c.
Gonna take a lot more than prayers and vitamins for you Vulcamaniacs to make it to whenever you feel 1,300 light years is away from here.
If it makes you feel any better, I can set my Steamdeck on top of my desk. Seriously though, I have a USB hub with HDMI out. I plug my steamdeck into it and get a keyboard, mouse, external HDD, and a real monitor.
Ironically enough I have an identical setup for a Legion Go gaming deck.
My local SFF chapter and the tower chassis brigade would still like to investigate to know which full-sized USB port marketing plugged into and hurt Linus with.
New space exploration is cool and all (don’t forget your towel), but is there a reason we asked the professional gardener to write an article on planet formation and personify the shit out of it?
Planting planet seeds and watching our newfound baby stars take its first steps? Seriously?
This marketing technique is seriously long in the tooth...
Ask the guy who was fired if that was “staged” too.
I believe California employment laws are no pushover. If a wrongful termination turd is something Apple feels like it can polish up and shine for shits and profits sake, I’d question if they’re taking marketing advice from Bud Light.

Is that where we find the naked campus “administrators” tenured by the dozen? ‘Cause I have an idea as to why costs are so pointlessly high..
But that's probably worldwide. There's an estimated 60 million desktops in America though. So I think it's safe to say that a lot of if not most of that is steam decks.
* looks over at the rather obvious handheld form-factor that is Steam Deck *
If that is now considered a “desktop”, then I’m guessing my full-sized tower chassis is now classified as either an MMA weight training aide or a medieval torture device, depending on local gun laws.
Perhaps I should stop complaining before someone doubles down and re-defines what a “desk” isn’t anymore.
As the desktop percentage of Linux increases, the incentives for manufacturers to take Linux on the desktop seriously as customers increases.
Suddenly all those Come to the Dark Side OS jokes get confusing. Who’s the Dark Side again? Are we the Good Guys now? I mean hell, we gotta be looking at all the shit Windows is pulling..
Just curious how much Windows 11 contributes to that total.
FTFY.
Even the Microsoft fans who love to hate those who hate Windows, would agree at this point.
I'm no birdologist but wouldn't having it higher protect more birds? And larger slower moving blades would be less dangerous too? Not to mention that wind power kills far less birds than the pollution from other types of energy production does.
All of which could very well be true. What people are tired of, is the marketing crapola about how pure and simple newer power solutions are. The reality paints a very different picture. From construction demands to actual lifespans to lack of recycling.
Another example is EV marketing. When we tell people that EVs are practically maintenance free in order to sell the idea of EVs, it only makes it way more dangerous for the rest of us on the road when the gullible EV owner drives it down to the bald tires and blown brake pads, leaving the rest of us praying for this “advanced” car to have the control and stopping power needed to prevent an extra ton of battery from becoming an unmaintained weapon.
Like the current Administrator or not, I think their direction on legitimizing Cryptocurrencies is pretty clear. The GENIUS act is the prime example.
It’s quite difficult to envision the benefits of a new beautiful apple hanging in an orchard rotten to the core. This is well beyond appointed scapegoats. A summary of The Act of GENIUS:
The bill mandates stringent standards for reserves, audits, and transparency for issuers and establish a dual federal and state supervisory system to mitigate financial stability risks and protect consumers.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Except when you realize this market-speak is coming from a financial system that created the infamously un-auditable Federal Reserve that abandoned the gold standard decades ago, in a nation $35 trillion in debt. We expect THAT to define the standard of stability in shitcoin successfully?
Bipartisan support? From the Insider Trading Congressional Clan for the most volatile currency on the planet? Gee, how utterly fucking predictable. Next thing you’ll tell me AOC is announcing her retirement after inadvertently becoming a billionaire with an investment portfolio sponsored by Blackrock-Clinton Evangelical Charities, LLC.
Basically by definition. The SEC should and almost certainly will crack down on them.
And based on what they did to prevent it, I’m guessing they started as SEC company perks**? Shouda, Woulda, and Couda their legal team?
Next weeks headline: SEC Integrity Enforcement Agency Christens New Corporate Yacht, the Ponzi Fonzi.
(** - American lawmakers enjoy Insider Trading as a job perk now thanks to Pelosi. After all, who can survive on that $175K/year pittance.)
If the laws were really about protecting children, they would have passed a law requiring browser vendors to provide age check support in a privacy-protecting way.
It’s one thing to argue intent, but could you clarify exactly how that is done in a privacy-protecting way? I’d like some kind of guarantee what they need to collect and verify will remain secure. Especially about children. That it will not be hacked. Or even sold under more obvious corporate abuse. How many are stepping up to do that? How many really could, even if they wanted to?
The technical problems, may prove just as challenging as the moral ones. Especially for companies that solely exist by turning you into The Product.
Bitcoin has an official symbol present in Unicode..
(Slashdot Users) Wait, what?
[SlashCode] Fuck m3 sid3w@ys..
And when it - and you know it will - starts offering for sale stocks that don't exist, and other AIs buy them? Who goes to prison?
Probably the same lawmakers who go to prison for Insider Tradi, oh that’s right. I almost forgot. That’s not illegal anymore. It’s now a job perk.
(Just in case you forgot who hollowed out your question completely. The Stock “Market” trades in delusion now. Don’t need sense to make cents, until the inevitable crash no one and yet everyone sees coming.)
I wonder if a number of the people are mad because they were not the first ones to do this, and someone else beat them to the punch. I wouldn't be surprised if AI is the ultimate thing that large record labels want. No musicians that might not show up, or bring drama, no contracts to sign, unlimited records, feeding back responses to keep tuning albums, etc.
The only thing they don't have are live people for stage acts... but I wouldn't be surprised if holograms or even animatronics would wind up being used for this eventually.
Even Michael Jackson or Elvis would struggle to fill stadiums with the kind of revenue that is needed to justify “live” digital entertainment. Who the hell is gonna pay hundreds to see a hologram? If tens of thousands of fans are going to overflow venues and get crushed to death for that shit, then we need to raise prices about 900% more for “live” entertainers. Clearly there’s WAY more money to be made off Stupid.
Maybe you can't buy happiness, but these days you can certainly charge it.
