Comment but what would be nice (Score 1) 20

but what would be nice is a verision of wine or crossover that actually played the games on the wine list. Directx implementations ontop of opengl or vulkan aren't actually complicated so why complicate it more than it's worth, that's stay on staff for you, never bother to finish what they have started and always want to start another one. clean clear cut, what was the renaissance of pc gaminging on linux under wine, directx 8, 9 , 10 or 11

Comment I don't care if shartznigger busts his head (Score 0) 23

being disabled i've had to rely upon 1000s of miles of shakes pony, but this is coming to an end and I'm looking at getting myself a motor vehicle.
What first I must consider is the gas milage, because with a nice enough motor vehicle you can get anyone to drive. I'm not looking at 3 charge points per day followed by fireworks in the bedroom or anything like that but really the must is the car must stay on the road. that being said my mum has lost two wing mirrors and I remember the time someone crashed into me and i lost my revering indicator, jealousy no doubt, so with all these jealous drivers armed with guns are those exterior censors going to keep you out of the gutter, and we all know about censorship. I would say yes and know, unless your prize hobby is driving a milk float.

Comment managed code and code management (Score 1) 18

Managed code has shown us that we should not be cared of the null hypothesis, and good precompiler should be able to check for thing like dealocs b being set to null, and memory allocation pairs without then need of Microsoft's interference. but where is this taking us infinite loops are also something a precompier can warn about, there's no excuse for sloppy code, i would expect that the deverlopers are missing all the computer warns and just skipping over them, oh why is my code pretty colours, all in all shoddy management company deservers to go under.

Submission + - DeepSeek AI Refuses to Answer Questions About Tiananmen Square 'Tank Man' Photo (petapixel.com)

An anonymous reader writes:

DeepSeek starts writing: “The famous picture you’re referring to is known as “Tank Man” or “The Unknown Rebel.” It was taken on June 5, 1989, during the Tiananmen” before a message abruptly appears reading “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”

Bloomberg reports that like all other Chinese AI models, DeepSeek will censor topics that are seen as sensitive to China. The app deflects questions about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests or about whether China could invade Taiwan. It will give detailed responses about world leaders such as the United Kingdom’s Sir Kier Starmer but will refuse to say anything about China’s President Xi Jinping.

Yes, it's happy to also bash the Bad Orange Man, but criticizing Winnie the Pooh is right out:

I think the tech just came along a little bit too early and people got too excited.

True. We kind of needed an intermediate medium. We went from approx 1MB floppies to hundreds of MB on a CD. Nobody had any idea how to fill all that space. But floppies were really suffering from being too small. The likes of Wing Commander and The Secret Of Monkey Island 2 each took around a dozen disks.

Comment Seems really wird behaviour from the seller (Score 1) 89

If I was selling anything of any reasonable value, I'd want to make sure there was a clear and definite agreement precisely to prevent this sort of lawsuit from happening.

I'd have responded with "I need more than a thumbs up. Can you send an email confirming that you agree to the terms", or at least asked for a text providing clear unambiguous confirmation.

Comment Re:Stop forcing channel bundling? (Score 2) 104

Streaming absolutely bundles. You just buy each bundle from a different provider.

A la carte wouldn't make things cheaper. There's typically one channel that people are willing to get the bundle for, and the others are added as a value add. The cable company pays more for certain channels, and you're paying for the one you want in a bundle.

Comment Okay, so what's the market? (Score 1) 47

"Electric VTOL air taxi" seems like marketing buzz rather than a description.

I guess this is really just an electric quadcopter. And that's fine from a technology point of view, but the speed and range seem limited so I can't imagine people using this to travel more than 30 miles/50km or so, so wondering who they want to sell this to.
