CameronNemoon Mozilla.ai

How is it wasted? So much of their revenue comes from search deals, which are floundering in the courts and being displaced in the wild (by LLM-powered search).

Now, people are paying money to use these LLM products. Which is a niche pricing strategy for search engines.

CameronNemoon Pixel 8 leak promises 7 years of OS updates

That's a disappointing answer if it is really the case. One has to question why they can't forward port their changes for a handful of years.

CameronNemoon Pixel 8 leak promises 7 years of OS updates

CameronNemoon Spotify code suggests HiFi tier is coming with lossless audio for $20 / month

1. You are assuming the goal is to spend as little money on art as possible. Which isn't the case for a lot of us.

2. Not everything is on Spotify. E.g. the song Golden Girl by Frank Ocean. Or most Neil Young songs.

CameronNemoon Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix

Maybe you are confused because the old client name, Riot, was sunset in favor of Element?

AIUI the protocol was and is called Matrix. There seems to be no intention to depart from that name.

CameronNemoon AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B

NAT64 and DNS64 can help your v6-only hosts cope with the ubiquity of v4-only hosts.

CameronNemoon LAUSD to purchase 180 electric school buses

Tiny houses in the desert. Jk I dunno but presumably parts or the whole things will end up in Mexico.

CameronNemoon What if public transit was like Uber? A small city ended bus service to find out

I also find it interesting, because I'd be surprised if many of those people who live in small, southern towns are not low-income. Trying to live beyond one's means is the best way to stay broke.

CameronNemoon What if public transit was like Uber? A small city ended bus service to find out

So they substituted federal subsidies for VC funding so they could keep the cheap rideshare party going? Instead of fixing their bus routes? Must be nice.

CameronNemoon PostgreSQL 16

Inertia is a helluva drug.

CameronNemoon iNaturalist strikes out on its own

You can download it from their github apparently.

I just limp along with aurora, though.

CameronNemoon PostgreSQL 16

Our infra team decided to deploy v12 in the last year... But only for GitLab. We are still deploying with v9.6 for some other new projects.

CameronNemoon Can I take ducks home from the park?

If you have a problem with Canada gooses, then you have a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

CameronNemoon Public exposure to BPA exceeds acceptable health safety levels

Honestly I want to say something to the employees at grocery stores... They are more exposed than any of us to PBAs on receipt paper.

CameronNemoon When MFA isn't MFA, or how we got phished

Symantec VIP is TOTP under the hood.

CameronNemoon When MFA isn't MFA, or how we got phished

Local libraries, print shops... but yeah that may be an attack vector.

CameronNemoon VoCore – Coin-sized Linux Computer

Maybe this fits the bill?

CameronNemoon Starlink at the moment of Cruise Missile/Sea drone attack on Black Sea fleet

Is that what happened last night? Or was Elon just trying to disrupt Ukrainian communications on their own territory while they conducted their recent attack on Crimea?

CameronNemoon TSMC to invest up to $100M in Arm IPO

Isn't SoftBank planning to retain 90% ownership?

CameronNemoon Open source code doesn’t mean community managed

Is this supposed to be a thread? Why would someone post one sentence and then just trail off like that? This feels like half of a thought, not particularly notable or important.

CameronNemoon Microsoft has not stopped forcing Edge on Windows 11 users

This doesn't answer my question... If an admin does not want their users using Edge, is there an actual way to configure the default browser that doesn't end up opening links and such in Edge?

CameronNemoon To make dishwashers great again? (2020)

Do you have a source for that? I've always heard it, but... I've also watched a lot of people wash dishes in ways that waste lots of water unnecessarily.

I'd be curious how the study was conducted, and if they have video of the study participants washing their dishes.

CameronNemoon Microsoft has not stopped forcing Edge on Windows 11 users

Can you actually switch the default browser with group policy? What if your team only has the bandwidth to support a couple browsers, and your users say they want Chrome and Firefox?
