I have been using ScreenFloat (and similar tooling) for decades; those are more useful than this because it works on every application and not just the browser.

It's quite possible I am missing something from their demo, but based on what they show: 1) it's just for Firefox; and, 2) it's really kind of a pain in the ass to use.

Do you even listen to your self...Go and buy Doom ? You are a moron and please give all your money to Bethesda and then DIAF.

Yes, they just edged out a flight of pigeons....

DLT with a chip for random access was what we were using when I retired.

I've been a Doom player since it came out. I map for UZ/GZDoom and Bethesda opened a mod repository and locked it down with their ID system. I've seen my own maps available there but I can't get one unless I suck Bethesda's tiny little cock. They've sucked up huge profit off the open source engine without contributing ANYTHING and I won't support them in any fashion. SteamUnlocked or FitGirl for this one for sure....

they just lost 10% of their stock value in a day because it was revealed that when AI search results are showing, there's fewer ads to show (and even fewer get clicked), meaning revenues are down.

this is just compounding that problem. they're shoving AI in ways that are losing their core revenue base and that's already screwing them.

No, he's telling the truth: Internet Explorer is deeply integrated into Windows.

Oh shit, sorry! I thought you were talking about someone else. Never mind.

The same happened earlier with Japan.

See Back to The Future for pop culture reference. 50's Doc Brown: Japanese products are crap, 80's Marty: they are the best.

Why would a manufacturer's device need a trusted introducer to communicate with that same manufacturer? Vizio can be its own CA. There's no intermediary between themself and themself.

For me the robotics vs laundry issue is ironing, not folding. It might be different in the US but I don't do a lot of laundry folding here in the UK - I just hang them up in the wardrobe or put them in drawers. Towels and spare sheets maybe? Not much.

But an ironing robot - yes, that one I would interested in. It needn't be some humanoid thing that stands by an ironing board and moves a traditional steam iron up and down - could be a static cupboard for all I care. There was a spate of announcements about 10 years ago but nothing came of them, only these blow-up air pressure ones that don't really work at all on work-style clothing. Ironing robots please.

The 'prior art' is not y2k but rather the DST change in 2006 (to our current weekends in North America).

That was when they restructured most of their timezone information into easily updated files that made the operating system generally adapt pretty quickly, along with client-side software for anything *newly* generated in scheduling software.

However, the issues here are what to do about already-existing scheduled events - how do they adapt depends on what your internal model is for storing "where" they are (which timezone they're meant to follow). If you didn't separate out America/Vancouver in your system because it was always the same as America/Los_Angeles...it is an almost unfixable problem because you have no way to isolate what is and isn't in "Canada".

So this is why I've been saying, for months now since it was announced, that it was going to be a mess because there wasn't enough time to develop and test the solutions in the middle of all of the other work that app teams are doing (often with reduced resources due to the layoffs of the last 3 years) before everything went live. You really want this stuff tested AT LEAST 6 months before the first change, preferably a full year.

I can't imagine the scheduling disasters for anybody actually using Egypt time over the last 15 years, when they ditched DST, *partially* brought it back (the day would change based on Ramadan) and then in March of '23 announced that in April of '23 they would go back to switching. Pretty sure anybody of any import just set their clocks collectively to something from Europe for the stability.

I live in Az and we do it. There is a slight truth to the waiting for the bus in the dark, but the heat is so insane that workers prefer getting started in the dark with lights and quitting when it gets 115F (46C). I worked Mid Shift in server-farms almost my entire career so my only complaint was how much work going BACK is vs going forward.
As a grade schooler...loooong ago, I was a late bird, and started school at 09:00, it was always light.

Shall we speak extirpation of an American continent. Spain and Portugal essentially depopulated Central America. Cortez the conqueror FTW.

Point me to the 'same grade' CPU equivalent of the M5 Pro and M6?

I mean, they literally show the use case for it on some of their the videos. It's not a general purpose one by any means, but this one is an actual Pro box, not a "I'm a consumer and just want the name Pro on my device" box.

The current use case is music production. Logic Pro. I have an Akai MPC Gen 2, with a touch screen for moving around the DAW and manipulating the virtual instruments. Logic Pro with the same level of interactivity would be fantastic, and no the iPad version doesn't cut it. I'm actually very interested in it for this specific reason.

Price? Well, I paid around £4k for my Intel 4Tb beast in 2019 to store all the sample-based instrument libraries I have. It's not a "let's buy this to look cool at the coffee shop" machine, although I'm sure some people will. I'm actually very interested in it for a serious step up in the way music production works.
