do they just want everything to be crawled
Yes. Web crawling has been a normal and vital part of the web from day 1. We'd have no search engines without crawlers.
The web is user-centric by design. I'm sick of tech companies trying to flip the script and hoard information, most of which is not theirs to begin with (e.g. Google, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc.).
When people say eat the rich, I think they generally mean to start from the top.
Ring was an obvious trojan horse from day 1. It's depressing how many people are only just realizing this, and how many people still don't even give a shit.
If you have a Ring camera, you are a scourge to your entire community.
Yes. Most original NES, SNES, and Gameboy cartridges have probably lost their saved data by now, but the batteries can be replaced relatively easily. If I remember right, they're a standard type, like the ones used for watches or hearing aids.
I know that some my old NES games retained their data at least into the 2000s. Been a while since I pulled them out and checked.
Edit: I realize this article is talking about the game data, not save data. I don't know what type of memory older games used for the ROM or if it needs periodic power. I think the batteries were only for the writeable save data.
20 years ago I would have taken this as satire. Today, reality is far more absurd.
They clearly don't understand what pride is about, or why it's needed in the first place. I don't go around showing my "straight pride" because there is literally nobody out there trying to make me ashamed of being straight. Never in my entire life have I felt unsafe because I was straight. I never had to worry about my family rejecting me if they learned I was straight. Being straight has never affected my housing security. I have not been subjected to verbal and physical assault because I am straight. Nobody has ever, to the best of my knowledge, been sent a brainwashing camp for being straight. There is not a single country on earth where it is illegal to be straight, and there never has been.
You cannot say any of those things about being gay. That's why gay pride matters. These are not problems of the past. They are all problems today.
Cool, sounds promising!
I wonder how much power Valve even has here. I mean, we're talking about Windows compatibility. How many Windows games can run properly in a 64-bit WINE environment?
Dropping 32-bit support has to happen eventually, but there's bound to be collateral damage. It wasn't a painless change even on macOS, which is generally a more tightly controlled "adapt or die" platform.
This matches my experience and the general consensus I've seen online. The 6 series had major overheating problems. Later generations get noticeably warm but not so much that it causes serious problems.
The concept is real. I mean, anyone who thought "vibe coding" would be a viable career path for long enough to actually have a career was just not paying attention to reality.
Right now it legitimately takes some expertise to get good results from AI coding. (Most people doing it now get, at best, convincingly passable results.) But the job of a "vibe coder" is much simpler than the job of a conventional programmer, and it will become increasingly simple to automate out the human's role. It's not like progress is going to suddenly stop. The fruit is hanging so low that it might as well be on the ground.
I can't directly compare, but I really like my Boox Go6. It runs Android, so you can install regular Android apps on it. I use Koreader as my ebook app, and I manage my library manually. I buy all my ebooks DRM-free so I just drop them into a folder (and I sync that folder to my computer and phone using Syncthing, which took a lot of manual setup but works great).
It's not necessarily the most efficient, but it's the best guess we have. This is largely done by trial and error. There is no hard proof or surefire way to calculate optimal arrangements; this is just the best that anyone's come up with so far.
It's sort of like chess. Using computers, we can analyze moves and games at a very advanced level, but we still haven't "solved" chess, and we can't determine whether a game or move is perfect in general. There's no formula to solve it without exhaustively searching through every possible move, which would take more time than the universe has existed, even with our most powerful computers.
Perhaps someday, someone will figure out a way to prove this mathematically.
