Hey if it shifts people off Windows... this is a sort of "winning" I could actually get behind!

Well, see, here's the real deal.

The problem is, some interns were verly late for a couple hearings - so they were running down a hall in the capitol. These kids were carrying large boxes of photos - some with evidence that UFOs exist and do anal probing, others with explicit Epstein photos. Well, the first intern tripped... which then sent most of the others to the floor as well. All the UFO and Epstein photos are now mixed together, and they're having a hard time figuring out which belongs to which set.

Weird thing is, Trump appears in both sets of photos.

They'll be a perfect match for the Vision Pro, then!

A narcissistic sociopath like Zuck will certainly define how his AI avatar sounds and acts, and no one will tell him otherwise.

It's like Trump - from his comments, it's quite obvious he doesn't think he looks like the overweight 80-year-old man with thinning hair and crepe-y skin that we all see.

They weren't trying to kill him... they're just conflict-inclined.

This is the first TIOBE story we've seen in several months! Which editor has been out sick?

"Rust" was that movie where, during the filming, Alec Baldwin fired a live round from a prop gun that killed the movie's cinematographer.

Well, there's also the lap-cooking advantage... as in ARM devices don't.

I have an M3 MacBook Air from work, while my personal laptop is a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. That Intel Mac routinely gets too hot to be comfortable sitting on my lap, while the M3 Air barely even gets warm running the same applications via Rosetta emulation.

Is there actually a significant market of people who really care that their TV can display 100% of the color space versus, say, 93% or whatever? This just seems like another manufacturer sales gimmick, like 3-D or 8K.

Obligatory IT Crowd.

Washington state privatized liquor sales a number of years ago. Overall it's been a plus in terms of what's available and convenience... but it didn't decrease the price, because the government piled on the taxes. There were two arguments given for this: 1) They were concerned about lost revenue, even though we're basically talking about a blip in the overall state budget; and more importantly 2) they were wringing their hands over possible increased consumption driven by the lower prices.

This Slashdot summary is a "single point of failure" - it's a hodge-podge of statements lifted from the news story, none of which explain what happened.

Basically - the contractor scheduled a planned two-week shutdown for this past January, during which the contractor was going to upgrade its control systems. They announced this well ahead of time (last fall), and businesses were able to stock up beforehand.

During the downtime, the contractor discovered that the new software was NOT going to work with the state's system after all - so they pivoted to a "pick-and-pallet" system which is slower and requires more human transport within the warehouse (the booze isn't transported via conveyor belt, it requires people to load pallets and bring that to the truck).

What the news story alleges is that the company hasn't hired an adequate number of staff for this new pick-and-pallet system. So, since January, they've only been able to fill a fraction of the total orders across the state.

I wasn't lying to you - I'm just conflict-averse!

Probably because it takes a fair bit of time to build a fab.
