I also recall seeing lots of installers that were infected with chrome. I guess that’s how it spread to so many computers.

With other browsers, you need to update them from time to time. Chrome one has all the updates already built in from day one, so you never need to update it. Isn’t that great. The devs at Google are so good that they decided to do all the updates at once so they never need to worry about updates ever again.

None of this is cutting edge technology, so my setup isn’t for tech enthusiasts. I have an old 1080p TV and an HTPC. The computer has fairly silent parts to begin with, and I’ve further tweaked it to be even more silent. It’s also running Fedora, and Gnome seems to be surprisingly good for this purpose. A Logitech keyboard/touchpad serves as my remote.

This way, I can watch YouTube on my TV with ublock origin and spinsor block enabled.

Norways it’s mostly a software company. IBM people keep talking about cloud, AI and all that stuff.

Sounds like superconductor research could end up fixing that problem. Once we have a suitable conductor material, you no longer need to keep it that cool.

Yikes! You’re right. People are selling accounts for roughly 50-100 €, which is much more than what I expected.

In recent months, 404media has been popular among lemmings. I think those articles were ok. Maybe they could fill the void left by cnet.

But it can always get worse. When they run out of money, some of the stuff that used to be free will begin to cost you something.

This is the way.

Given that there have been signs of the ML industry running out of quality data, there’s a good chance that development will begin to show down. Nowadays, the data is nearly always contaminated with AI generated trash, which means you shouldn’t use it to train a new model. Eventually, we’ll hit a point where it’s nearly impossible to improve the model because you just can’t find the right kind of data for it.

Come to think of it, nowadays you can still buy certain things in bulk, but a packaged option exists too. You could carefully choose and weigh the individual potatoes you like, or you could just pick up a bag that was prepared earlier in some potato factory. The same things applies to many fruits and vegetables too.

Maybe it’s time to move away from fact based discussion and more towards stupid puns and satire.

Maybe he will end up saving the internet by shoving that ship full of bots and then letting it sink.
