Comment Re:So 54 Senate seats. (Score 1) 715

Correct. They need 67 to impeach or override a veto. I am hoping democrats will understand this and not waste everyone's time with endless investigations, trials, impeachments, and so on. Unfortunately, it's all they can talk about lately.

Trump went on a retribution campaign in Jan 2025 that democrats complained bitterly about, and now they are going to do the exact same thing in Jan 2027.

And so the merry-go-round continues.

Comment I did this too (Score 4, Interesting) 88

I did this too, in less than 11 days, and mine runs on bare metal on a raspberry pi. You can download the image here. It also runs it's own busybox, and sbase (suckless.org rewrite of busybox) and kubectl and quake, doom, helm, duck db, ffmpeg etc etc I did a write up about it here back in October: Bluetail OS you can download a copy of the 0.0.1 release here https://bluetailos.s3.us-west-... runs in qemu of course, on a raspberry pi 3 A+ profile on 512mb memory
 
Lots of progress since then, refactored a bunch of stuff runs a lot better on bare hardware and has better usb mouse/keyboard support. Oh and it has a usb network adapter as well.

I used to SOMETIMES visit reddit to go check things out. Now they throw up a "ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! GO SIGN UP RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN" interstitial ad thing if you use if for more than 20 seconds. I would rather not know the thing, than click on the reddit link and see that ad again. Reddit was a fun 5-10 min a week time waster, and useful for super obscure stuff, but lately it's unusable, especially without being logged in.

You'd have to either discipline or expel cheaters. You can't discipline cheaters because then their mommy and daddy will stop giving money to the endowment. You can't expel cheaters because the school will lose the tuition revenue on top of that.

There is no financial justification whatsoever for solving the cheating problem.

Comment Dipshits, it's still a bug if AI finds it (Score 1, Informative) 29

This anti-AI bullshit has got to stop. If an AI finds a real bug in your program, sing hallelujah and move on with life. Computers will always be able to execute algorithms faster than humans, and with greater depth and accuracy. That's the whole point of their existence - to do stuff that is too complex for humans to do, and to do it quickly.

Comment Bolsonaro not conceding (Score 3, Insightful) 79

Bolsonaro: "We cheated fair and square and didn't win, so we're going to sue."

It's the same playbook Trump is going to use to try to overturn the midterm results because "we couldn't possibly have lost because we rigged the election with gerrymandered election maps!"

You'll see. Just wait.

Much like Twitter - what on earth do you need that many employees to do, exactly? Ebay has more traffic, but the core product scales horizontally, and they haven't added any new customer facing features since about 2005. Much like craigslist they could have frozen the core product 20 years ago

>The new MacBook Pro models are expected to be "significantly lighter" than the current models.
 
This is the exact opposite of what I want. A macbook pro needs to survive a fall from the passenger seat of a chevy suburban (more than 3' high) onto concrete. Today you get about one drop per corner before the aluminum deforms too much and can't take the beating and the display breaks. Maybe the new OLED are less prone to cracking. At no time in my life did I look at my work issued MBP and think "I wish this were lighter" particularly the 13/14" models

Submission + - Bringing USB 3 and USB4/Thunderbolt to Windows 98 to 7 (yeokhengmeng.com)

yeokm1 writes: Vintage OSes like Windows 98 are not something you would associate with working on modern machines. Modern machines use xHCI USB controllers which no have drivers for legacy OSes like Windows 98.

In the past couple of months, I addressed this issue on the side with AI's help. So now, we even got USB 3 and USB4/Thunderbolt on vintage OSes.
