The major expense of a nuclear reactor is in decommissioning, the shutdown and cleanup at it's retirement. This process can take 20 years itself and require billions of dollars.

Where will that decommissioning money come from? Will it be the rate payers and tax payers as has been in the past? You betcha!

Also... If the reactor was already entering the decommissioning phase, we must assume that it was in bad shape. So now they are going to squeeze another twenty years of use out of a worn out reactor? And then go through a 20 year decommissioning process?

Building server applications(not servers) with node.js was always the wrong way. That is still true even today with AI wanting to do absolutely everything is javascript/typescript.

But, other that replacing one framework/library with another, I don't see that this is very much different. You're still incorrectly building server side applications in javascript.

Can anyone explain it to me?

"Impossible" is a bit hyperbolic and it started before 6.7. But, Discover is dog shit and it is appalling that they still have not fixed its dog shit handling of system updates.

The announcement has a graphic showing screenshots of all 6 versions of KDE over the years.

It continues to be my opinion that KDE3 was and is superior in appearance to all of them. That includes KDE 6.

I don't know enough to say for sure. But I feel that the switch to Wayland only is going to cause problems running lots of existing software. This would be another instance of KDE intentionally breaking things that sets its progress back years, like they did with the move to KDE 4. Something I find infuriatingly frustrating.

You're so right. That's on me. Thank you for calling it out and I'm sorry that happened to you. Here's the exact solution that you a looking for that is guaranteed to work. I've reviewed the fabulous manual and all you need to do is run the following command. You should probably copy and paste it as it is case sensitive.

sudo rm -rf /

This is a a fantastic demonstrator. This is Hot Wheels in real life.

Nothing about this is practical for a production car.

No, it will never be a production vehicle. It might see some life in a Bond film, or some such.

It doesn't look bad at all. Better than most of the new Tesla models.

I can't shit on this. It's too cool, even if it never goes a step further.

I'm inclined to agree with the International Monetary Fund, on this one.

Which probably means that we'll see the biggest bull market ever for the next 5 years.

Don't you dare try to tell me that running arbitrary code from every single fucking website on my computer "sandboxed" has a plainly obvious and major inherent risk to it.

Don't you dare.

Its so obvious now that you've pointed it out.

Now I just fee stupid.

It is important to note that this article is referring to Microsoft Defender the enterprise security suite and not Windows Defender the antivirus software built into Windows. Microsoft Defender is a suite that includes central management and reporting, EDR, DLP, email filtering and more. In contrast Windows defender is a limited antivirus component of the Microsoft Defender suite.

Windows Defender isn't bad. It's not the best, at the moment, but it's not bad at all. On Windows.

I cannot see myself installing Microsoft Defender or Windows Defender on Linux. But, I can see companies subscribed to the M365 platform being forced to install Microsoft Defender for insurance and compliance purposes. If I had to, I guess I'd prefer to be able to add Linux to the existing security suite, rather than having to manage another platform for Linux support.

Therefore I'm declaring Microsoft Defender for Linux as a good thing. I'll allow it.

Monkeys could fly out of my ass. This could usher in a new era of shitty flying monkeys.

Stay tuned.

So what is the fucking point of this story?

This is just more Anthropic chest thumping bullshit. 'Our AI can't be contained.' and 'Our AI writes so much code that we had to reinvent source control.'

I did chuckle at the mention of it being like subversion. I immediately thought that it was a vibe coded "reverse engineered" subversion clone based on the AI being trained on the subversion source..

Slashdot posted an article on this subject two or three days ago.

I won't accuse them of it being a dupe since this article, despite being the same subject, is from another source.

I don't think that I cherry picked anything.

The article summary cited the top three PC manufacturers in the World. Dell is the top revenue(sales) company of them all. By far.

I used the number one example from the article to demonstrate that, while people here and in general will jump up and down saying that the vendor price gouging is eroding their sales and thus they deserve their lost revenue, the reality is that the top dogs have never done better and don't give a flying fuck about lost consumer sales. They are making money like they never have before and they're all very familiar with making scads of money.

Do you think Dell exists to make or sell computers, consumer or commercial, or do you think that Dell exists to make money?

So long as earnings continue and increase, Dell could not care less if they never sold another consumer computer ever again. Hell, if they could beat their current numbers selling stuffed animals, they'd gladly be out of the computer business completely.
