Your UID is low enough that you should remember a time when we printed everyone's number along with their name in a big BIG book and gave it out for free.
My UID is low enough that I can remember when everyone's number was etched into cuneiform tablets.
I've been using this ViewSonic 32" 4K display for the last three years and it works pretty nicely. The controls aren't fun to use, but the unit works reliably with a USB-C to mini-DisplayPort cable:

It's not 5K of course, but it's a big leap up from a 1440p display at least.
Looks like Apple saw your post and unfortunately responded with, "don't hold your breath":

I know your pain though. I used a maxed-out 2009 27" iMac until last year when I finally upgraded to an M2-based Mac. It was definitely time.
I've had better luck with Windows 11 for ARM's x86-64 emulation layer under Parallels. It's snappy enough for daily use.
If you are using Windows 11 in a VM on a host that already implements hardware disk encryption, you can disable Windows disk encryption with the following steps:
1. Open cmd as Administrator
2. Type manage-bde -off C: (or whatever drive is your encrypted data drive)
3. Profit

Hypothetical scenario: You have your retinas scanned, which are immutably tied to your Worldcoin account. Later, your account gets hacked via some other means that didn't require biometric authentication (because retina scanners can't possibly be used for every transaction). Then what... do you go see the eye designer and get a whole new identity?
The folks over at killedbygoogle.com have been real busy this year.
This chart from Peter Walker, Head of Insights at Carta, paints a very different picture. According to his post earlier today:
- About half of the startups that closed shop did so without raising any VC rounds. The other half had at least one priced round in their history.
- Within the cohort that had raised from VCs, 90% of the shutdown were either Seed or Series A startups.
- 34 startups that raised a Series B or later have shut down so far this year - that's higher than the 25 in 2022.
- 87 startups that raised at least $10 million have shut down this year. That's nearly 2x the total from last year.
Any way you slice it, this is the most difficult year for startups in at least a decade.
Thanks for sharing the video. Yes, folding clothing is definitely a hard problem for robots. I seem to remember a company that announced a laundry folding robot at CES, but later went bankrupt. I hope they can resurrect it via Kickstarter or some other funding method.
"The more stuff you've broken, the more innovative you've been"
Sounds like a case of "fake it 'til you break it"...
It seems odd to have it in northern California, which is anything but. (As Twain said, the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.
Sonoma is a bit further inland than SF, so it can get warmer in the summertime.
A generative AI that can port OS/2 applications to Windows 3.11 for Workgroups?
Agreed. Watson could give a certainty percentage with each answer, which would be really useful with the latest round of LLMs.
Love makes the world go 'round, with a little help from intrinsic angular momentum.
