The noise wars destroyed radio and music, now the video wars are coming for your eyes.

Thank you Slashdot for this never ending wellspring of wild misinformation and delusional conjecture.

(highway exit coming up in about a mile) "Siri, give me directions to the nearest Arby's"

I FOUND FOUR DIFFERENT ARBY'S IN YOUR AREA, THE CLOSEST ONE IS ON WEST 2ND STREET, APPROXIMATELY 2.8 MILES AWAY TO YOUR WEST. IT GETS 3 STARS ON YELP AND

"Siri just give me the fucking directions"

I'M SORRY I CAN'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW

PHP didn't have a URI parser?

There was a visualizer called R2 back in the day that blew the doors off all the half-baked visualizers including Milkdrop, G-Force, Whitecap and all the other just low effort wiggly line art visualizers that came during the rise of iTunes and the sunset of Winamp. Nothing since R2/R4 ever matched it or anyone bothered to make a new one or update it.

Last I remember the theory was a proto-Earth collided with a proto-planet and two iron cores merged into Earth while the ejected mantle material coalesced into the moon, which (so far) was explained by the Apollo mission's lack of finding volatiles on the moon hence they were burned away in the collision.

An iron-like core of the moon seems to be different then?

Resist the Internet of Things.

Embrace Unix philosophy, where every tool does one thing and does it well.

If you need speakers, just get speakers.

Fire OS is an Amazon-led fork of Android. Vega is an Amazon-led fork of Linux that does not contain Android. This has been planned and worked on since 2023.

I just completed the update for macOS, the UI change isn't nearly as jarring as I was led to believe. The added borderlines for some of the monotoned apps (like Messages) are actually a good touch.

I'll save the phone upgrade for later...

Clearly you didn't read the article. I'll share with you quote from it:

"As New America’s Kevin Carey has noted, the demographic cliff risks accelerating the “geographic consolidation that is already upending American politics” as college-educated Democrats congregate in cities and coastal areas in which campuses will thrive — while people in rural towns, less likely to have degrees, might bear the brunt of closures."

Why would you get a set of speakers tied to an app?

And by 'cracked' I mean the expansion card was cracked in half during shipping.

Trying to get Slackware to boot on a turnkey PC server that had arrived with a cracked SCSI drive controller was my very first foray into Linux. (After 12 hours of futile efforts me and my coworker could not)

I was an OS/2 kid at the time and knew next to nothing about Unix. Thanks to Linux now I do.
