I hope this happens soon. I wouldn't mind a subtle video that protects against screen burn-in without being distracting or hiding my icons.

Warcraft is dying? Would this be before or after it's 21st anniversary and 11th expansion this fall?

It seems like BASIC outlived Pascal. I haven't seen it in use in forever.

My OLED screen would beg to differ.

I suppose it's better than nothing, but few Mercedes owners would not also own a garage to park their car in. I would expect that owners in the northern part of the country wouldn't see much charging going on parked in a garage in the winter months.

(1) Remove it from US app stores (Most NATO countries will follow suit in weeks) (2) Ban US advertisers (3) Make US owned cloud services remove TikTok data. (4) Block payments to US content creators. The US government will just make it so difficult to access and so hard for TikTok to make money it will be a defacto ban. I think TikTok will continue in Asia but it will be a shell of it's former self.

I don't see any ethical problems with BTC. It's just a stupid investment, built for Chads, Bros and the HODL crowd.

I live in the North. We can go weeks with temps below 0. Warming a couple of degrees is okay by me.

I've had 90%+ optimizations on certain data processing functions by hand coding and tuning instead of depending on libraries and other 'productivity' tools. In my coding life (which is long but fortunately very nearly over) we've added layer upon layer of complexity which is sometimes not necessary.

or a 12 year old that watches too many "bad-ass" movies?

There are more students than in 1950, so the competition for limited spots is so high I believe the students that make it into top schools are just more motivated and focused. With that kind of student, marks are going to go up. If the universities are worried the marks are too high, make the courses more difficult.

I think people should worry a lot more about AI turning you down for a mortgage or improperly managing your 401K. It's not about sentience and AI overloading a nuclear reactor. Those processes will always have oversight. It's more about mundane business rules being interpreted and actioned incorrectly.

or the government....

Demonstration or GTFO

....still has wild bears? Small areas, lots of people, long history. I thought all their bears would have been hunted to extinction long ago.
