Which is, of course, nonsense. Nothing stops you from making a copy of encrypted data. What sucks is that for a backup, you likely can't do incremental.

Holy shit new product idea, you've heard of chocolate milk...

Make sure the cap on the bottle is red. You literally will not be able to keep it in stock.

Too bad about [hect]ares.

They also said they were complying with the GPL, so their trustworthiness is at zero right now. Maybe when they learn not to lie and steal, they can be taken seriously again.

How are those job opening figures corrected for phenomena like positions corporations have no intent of filling whatsoever? It's estimated that up to half of posted jobs are fake.

1. is not a significant problem. There are only a couple of species which survive entirely on mosquitoes, they are not common, and there are many kinds of mosquito. 2. is even less of a problem, there's nothing else just waiting in the wings to upstage mosquitoes as they don't compete with anything else.

The problem with better DNA error checking is you risk choking off evolutions necessary source of entropy, and if that life can't evolve, it wont do well protecting against OTHER threats.

The conclusion would be that while too much radiation precludes evolution, (as it requires too heavy "error checking"), too little radiation also precludes evolution (no errors means no changes) and therefore there has to be a 'just the right amount', making that yet another constraint , in this case magnetic, on what sort of environment qualifies as the "goldilocks zone" for life.

Most of those complaints are from people too lazy or too stubborn to just type in the word into google and see what comes out. Worse, there is also a variant of people who say "I dont know what is", in a transparently bizzare attempt at trying to sound knowleagable, by feigning ignorance.

Don't this just make them chase never-ending profit to the detriment of all?

Anthropic where always a for-profit company, meaning that chasing a profit is a fiduciary legal requirement.

Tbh, of all the AI bro companies, Anthropic are the least obnoxious, and I do wonder how their stance against weaponization survives when board is stacked with venture capitalists instead of TESCRAL doomers.

Mindyou Nvidia may well be skewing young with its headcount. Prior to the AI boom NVIDIA had a very generous vested share program for its engineers, and suffered a rather unique problem when the AI boom shot their shares through the stratosphere when suddenly all their senior engineers where sitting on, in some cases, upwards of 20 million USD worth of shares each. And like normal people instead of wall street suits, they pretty much collectively said "Well, fuck this working shit" and cashed their chips and retired with their millions, gutting their ranks of senior engineers.

Apple's got many faults, but their hardware has a very premium feel. I presume this is where Dell's additional hundred bucks went, because Apple's used to doing that and Dell isn't. They think they are, but they aren't normally as good at it. But they're going to deliver this PC with Windows, and there might be Linux issues — there's no way to know until it's in reviewers' hands exactly what hardware is actually used around the parts we know about. And unless you specifically need Windows, it's very hard to imagine getting excited about spending more money to run that.

I have to admit that I find the lack of a headphone jack offensive, but I wouldn't even consider buying a Dell that's trying to be a Macintosh over an actual Macintosh, and I say that as someone with very little respect for Apple. I don't hate Dell, but I've never been impressed by them either. I would describe them as "less terrible than HP".

The fact that it's a garbage off-brand speaker makes it more likely that it's possible, because people with valuable brands are the ones who are most likely to want to prevent you from changing it, and also the most likely to actually design their own product internals or have them designed to spec. The cheap brands are most likely to grab a complete PCB off the "shelf", or even more likely than that, just have their crappy brand put on someone else's complete product.

But, and it's a big one, they won't be offering the user the tools to do it with. They'd have to figure out who actually made it and/or what chip is on it in order to identify the tool, then they'd have to track it down, then they'd have to maybe short something on the PCB because it's not necessarily as easy as holding down a button, they'd have to do it on a windows PC or at least by attaching a USB hub to a windows VM so that when the device inevitably changes IDs during the reflashing procedure it remains connected, or with some kind of reflashing tool which is cheap but which they definitely don't own.

For their hardware. When you want to move to someone else's hardware, will it still be solved?

DACs are a dime a dozen and you aren't able to tell the difference on between whatever silly expensive headphones you use and my $30 pair with a 3.5mm port and good drivers. DACs were a solved problem more than 20 years ago, support circuitry at this point is also a pretty well solved problem for the most part - you have to go out of your way to fuck up a reference design to make it bad enough for your claim to be true.

A mac neo is certainly producing a quality signal that I'd bet a paycheck on that you can not tell the difference with audio equipment to help you, certainly not with your ears. I'm fairly confident you couldn't tell the difference between your choice digital headphones and my $30 3.5mm set.

And my 3.5mm device works all the time, never goes dead - which is pretty much what is constantly the state of wireless devices. Its absolutely silly to think like we're in 1992 and you're arguing a gravis ultrasound vs sb16 DAC.

A 3.5mm port is cheaper and smaller than any other port your are going to use in its place, including USB-C. If your device is so short on real estate place that it can't afford the space for a 3.5mm port - it better be a foldable phone or something that fits in your pocket cause pretty much every laptop has room to spare something like a 3.5mm port

I can tell by your comment that you own lots of monster cables so you get that warm sound out of your digital signal.

Because if it doesn't, its not a rival, its just another PC clone knock off wannabe.

I don't want a neo for the hardware - I want one so my kid can have OSX and not have to deal with half assed operating systems.

Almost no one buys a macbook because of the hardware. Don't get me wrong, its quality stuff - but its not the most cost effective unless you buy immediately after a good hardware refresh, otherwise its over priced and not worth running any other OS on.

People by Macs for OS X.
