companies bent over backwards to appease that clown in the half-a-white-house, and he responds by making it more difficult

Spoiled brats are never satisfied. When they give in they embolden Don. The companies may initially think he's "pro-business", but actually he's pro-Trump, and will suck them dry to appease his demented whims if not stopped.

Entrumpy at work

I was too busy waiting for it to be over to notice any difference in frame rates.

Most large software projects do.

Glad I'm not responsible for the results.

It's an interesting scenario for GNSS receivers. Most are multi constellation these days. They will have one of three or four constellations giving them a very different time and location.

I'm sure the better ones test for this scenario, but even there the proof is the real world application.

Biden doubled down on some of the trump nonsense.

He certainly didn't undo nearly enough of it. I don't know what is wrong with the democrats.

All that battle tested C++ code, both from a security and a compatibility perspective, gets replaced by poorly tested Rust. Microsoft fired most of the testers. They will likely use automated AI conversion and running MS Office as the test suite.

There is a reason why some Windows code is decades old.

There is no clock so talking about Hz isn't helpful. It's reaction time to pixels changing that matters in games.

Not just jobs. Without cheap, clean electricity, the economy as a whole is going to suffer. Some of the damage will be offset by passing the costs on to you, especially the pollution, but it can only do so much.

I expect he will announce tariffs on China for "cheating" by building so much cheap energy soon.

It's little better on PC. Or Raspberry Pi, which should be one of the very best supported platforms.

A lot of people want a Windows alternative, especially with all the hardware that can't run 11 headed to landfill. It would be nice if there was a Free as in freedom option, but for most people there isn't.

Maybe they are AI enthusiasts. Downloading data to train AI isn't piracy, just ask Facebook.

If this has any impact at all on artist compensation, it will be because Spotify is using it as an excuse.

I'm reminded of ancient Egypt, where each new Pharoah's first order of business was to destroy the monuments created by (and for) his predecessor, and then to start building new ones by (and for) himself. Have we reached that level of narcissism?

The word you're thinking of is "terrorists" (i.e. people who employ terror as a political tactic).

"Extremists" simply means people whose views lie at the extreme end of a range of views on an issue.

Sometimes terrorists are also extremists, and sometimes extremists are also terrorists, but they are nevertheless two different words with different meanings.

Do these scraper guys qualify as extremists? I don't know -- their position on copyright law seems to be that it can and should be ignored. Is that the most extreme position one can have on that issue?
