Antisemitic used to mean people that don't like people from Israel. Now it means people that people from Israel don't like.

Microsoft never really left the dream of creating Bob behind. If you look at their Virtual Reality Portal it is basically a modern version of Bob where you start in a livingroom and need to go into into other rooms to perform certain task. To start apps you eg. need to pick them from a book shelf. Essential the same a Bob.

A few images for reference. Notice that you start MS Paint same way in the VR portal and Bob.

I think a laptop is a good form factor for this. I just with the screen would stretch horisontal instead of vertical.

It is a service that does one and one job only. It's a webservice that can tell you the current year.

Currently on the top of their landing page is this message: Service degradation: Our API is occasionally returning 2024 instead of 2025. Our intern is investigating and working on a fix. We apologize for any inconvenience and would appreciate if you could stop emailing us about it.

It is a bargin for only $499/month

As I understand it, when connecting to the vm through the VMware console viewer, since the desktop image of the remote computer is rendered within a VMware process, which is CPU-bound, only the CPU can handle this task.

Spanning multiple 4K monitors demands significant RAM to handle the large aggregate framebuffer size and the associated overhead for rendering and display synchronization.

I started working from home around 12 years ago and have been using this setup in various incarnations. I experience zero issues related to running work from inside of a VM. I work for an MS Shop, so we are using teams.

The main issue with my setup is that VMware or Windows 11 (my host OS) can't use the GPU when rendering the UI of the VM (I'm not sure if VMware or MS is to be blamed or both) despite having a discrete GPU card installed.

The rendering of the image must all be done by the CPU, which requires a lot of RAM.

After switching to 3 x 4K monitors, the VM requires 62GB of RAM to be able to run on full screen on all monitors (63720 MB to be precise). I recall that I somehow managed to get it working while "only" using around 32GB, but it became unstable. 62GB is the sweet spot where everything runs smoothly. Haven't tried to adjust the settings in years. It was a pain to get working in the first place with 4k monitors, and since I have 256 GB installed, I just left the settings as they are.

At next motherboard upgrade I might revisit, but I think that VmWare still can't take advantages of the host GPU in this regard so I expect the RAM requirement to stay.

Some computer problems can be solved by throwing hardware at it. This is one of those. Give VMware and Windows an obscene amount of RAM, and you can have Teams running smoothly and flawlessly inside a VM on a Windows Client Host in 4K.

If Apples solution only tell the site that the current user has an verified apple account without providing futher info I guess I can be acceptable for most. If the site being visited get info about whom that specific user it is a no-go.

On a more meta level it is tragic that we wont be able to use our computer online without being signed in to an online and be verified.

> you don't have to complete a CAPTCHA. All you have to do is sign in to the app or site

No thank you. Do not want.

PS: I stopped reading the apple support article after reading that sentence.

I run my entire work computer inside of a VM. I work from home and have a powerfull desktop i use for my private stuff hooked up to my 3 monitors. My work pc is a vmware vm running inside of vmware pro. I can minimize the work vm and work it out my sight or I can selective choose that the vm should use 1, 2 or 3 monitors and it is easy to switch back and forth between work and private without have any work related data on my private desktop. The work vm is domain joined, o365 enterprise joined and loocked down in ridicilous ways by cooperate IT but now i can run that from my private powerfull PC without worring that corp IT messes up my private computer.

Are you sure? To bring a phone, screen, keyboard and mouse if no different than to carry a laptop except that you will be carring more cables.

You need to add some info to your site. All I see is a login box and not a single piece of information anywhere about what the product is, what it does and why I should create an account.

An alternative is aider that can edit multiple files at once. It performs a git commit after each changes which drove me nuts and didn't fit into my workflow. With cursor you decide when to commit to git which i like better.

It can. It can modify the active document.

In the chat sidebar dialog there are two submit buttons. The one labelled "chat" cannot edit the active file and when you chat using that submit button it doesn't understand your code base.

The submit button labelled "Codebase chat" on the other hand can update the active document and has knowledge about your project.

In the codebase chat dialog it will print the suggested changes and then you must press the apply button next to the suggested change. then it will apply the changes to the file in a git compare kind of way with red and green colors. Finally you must accept each of the red/green changes and the file will be updated on disk.

I have just complete as month long task of developing a highly complex library in C# (a parser that uses ANTLR) together with claude and cursor and it worked very well. For me trick was to do test driven development and write all the tests first. Then after each code change rerun the tests.

This made it very easy for claude to work out what to do and what needed to be corrected for things to work. Then you get your tests either to write debug statement to the terminal or json serialize something to disk you can paste into the claude chat that helps claude understand the flow of the code and where things goes wrong.

As an added bonus having all those test alse made it easy for claude to write the documentation.

I will not say it was fun because you are sitting doing copy paste all day but i couldn't have written this library without the assistance from clause. cursor just reduced the amount of copy paste actions since it can update the files.

Idenpendent from what or whom. Most American media is owned by a tiny handfull of people.

For that reason I have flagged this post.

how do you do that if your are locked out of your account?

One possibility is that Chrome could be acquired and run by a consortium of companies, similar to how the C++ programming language is governed. In the C++ model, a committee with representatives from various organizations works collaboratively on proposals, agreeing on features and then implementing them. A similar approach for Chrome could involve major tech companies forming a consortium to collectively manage and develop the browser while adhering to agreed-upon principles and priorities.

As far as I know the iCloud backup are unencrypted so law enforcement can just request a backup of those instead.

off topic, but has anyone succesfully registered their Workstation Pro single user license with broadcom? I followed the instructions they send to my email like a month ago, but it still says on the broadcom portal that i am not eligible to download latest version despite me having a valid license.

context: Broadcom has made Pro free for private users but you still need to register with them to download it.

Gigatransfers per second (GT/s) measures the rate of data transfers rather than the data rate itself. Each "transfer" represents one unit of data moved across a data bus per clock cycle, which can be thought of as one signal transition on the bus.

> It is not uncommon for the fraud department to reach out to you when their heuristics have flagged possible fraud on your account or card.

Which is something they should do but if they do that through a phone call the wise action is for you to hang up and call them back using their main switchboard number.

A bank will never call you regarding this. They will send you a letter asking you to call them. In my case when the bank want to get in contact with me they send me a message through their online banking app.
