I guess make it easier for games to run with Vulcan by default so they are easier to run crossplatform ?

wonder how they can patch so widely without breaking lots of applications. Of course, it is needed and hopefully after a few months of every vendor patching, we'll be in a safer world.

Used to have HP printers because they were running fine with Linux. And itwas good printer at the time. And then they started updating their firmware like every other week to prevent people choosing their ink (which was crazy expensive), which is illegal where I live. Up to the point, they transformed the printer into a brick....Will never buy one again.Now using Epson Ecotank. haven't seen a HP printer for years....

I remember there was lots of doubt when it was released at the time. And we are far from ready nowadays. it was extremely hot for almost everyone with lots of infrastructure failures. rails, transports, electricity, even air conditioning when it exist

recent cars are connected computers so if they are compromised, the issue is much worse than a mirror camera

the article says nuclear is developping but at same time the data they show is mostly a installed base. And as ENR is now much cheaper than nuclear even with some storage, I dont see a huge nuclear power expansion come especially as finding locations suited for Nuclear has become quite complex.

I only use the camera mode in my car, the rear view is quite too small and useless already as they optimized car for aeorodynamic. I would just need improved cameras that adapt better in some conditions like sun reverberating directly. Obviously it is a big change versus old cars.

I remember using a isdn card on linux about 30 years ago. It was very useful at the time
. But not sure there is any network left that could use it nowadays....and if no users can test fixes, then it is better to remove these drivers

While this could mean lots of work initially to patch all these vulns and deploy the fixes, I think this is a nice addition to all the existing tools to improve security.

No, Mozilla has the resources to fix the bugs and also the code is already modern with lots of automated testing so the risk of fixing bug and breaking stuff is much less (and looks like the tool does find vuln but also propose fix and so so it is just not a fuzzer that would inundate the dev) . Changing license or obfuscating code just make it harder initially but bugs will still be found especially if the tools have good skill to understand even obfuscated code. What this mean is unmaintained code (proprietary or open source) are going to be a issue and patch management is also more and more important (because you have to deploy all theses new versions with fixes which is not so easy problem)

ipv6 is just the default for most mobile and home networks nowadays. And it just works. Too bad it just start to be on for some services like AWS that are supposed to be modern but you still define ipv4 network and if you really want, you can now add ipv6 on top.

yes, in theory but Chinese gov gave them money to dev EV car for the Chinese market and sell at discount oversea. If this kill the market then they increase price, I would not consider it fair. But nonetheless, they are now innovating very fast as they have a big domestic market and Chinese gov went all in with EV. EV cars are de facto simpler and cheaper to build and then require less maintenance. What we start to see in EU is local manufacturer are buying technology or components directly in China to build, tune/test market and sell their own cars. It may (or not) change as local industry is trying to catch up and innovate also. The manufacturing itself can be local or not (as they pay lots of taxes to import from China) but it doesnt change the fact they are ahead at the moment especially in term of batteries.

This one is new and so wrong that it can only exist in a forum discussion. So EV do pollute much much less than thermic vehicules and yes the remaining parts are from tires but this is being worked on, EU started measuring this a few years ago asked the vendors to progressively improve on tires (for every car including EVs). Hopefully it will also help other outside EU reduce car pollution and improve healthness.

Yes, completely agree, it is easy to charge a EV off peak hours so there is no shortage of electricity in all cases (and TCO is much better in general) . Fuel cost is increasing but also if the situation continue, there could be places (depending on where you live) with regular fuel shortage or with restrictions on how much you can buy.

The new Renault Twingo is starting at 13k euros with subsidiaries in France and with full options on the higher spec model a little but under 20k. It is designed for a few hundred kms per days max but it is also extremely cheap by km for people charging at home
