Nvidia is chasing trends again, they did it for crypto mining, and I bet some new fad will come up soon. It looks like the gaming industry needs to move to something else than the current GPU ecosystem in the long term. Intel Arc and Moore Threads have tried, but we really need a new way of designing and rendering graphics.
This is why we need more "job creator" schemes. Why work for a terrible company when you can be a good company creating jobs for everyone. We need more entrepreneurs than ever, especially when in 2050 we will need jobs for 10 billion people.
Tried it, it suffers the same space in url bug that Mobile Firefox has, and they only are interested in bug reports from people who pay $150 for their Webkit skin.
I have strong opinions about ipv4, especially since I'm forced to use an ipv4 isp. The lack of ipv6 adoption should be considered one of the great failures of tech. Who actually is responsible? Is it router manufacturers writing poor quality firmware, ipv4 advocates in leadership positions at isps, ipv4 address speculators, poor training of network engineers and tech support staff? I think we all need to have a much greater discussion with the internet at large and not just on isolated web posts and subreddits.
For comparison, the internet mostly transitioned off of TLS 1.0 just fine, why can't we do the same for transitioning off ipv4? Maybe AI powered proxies for legacy code perhaps?
Chrome is becoming less innovative then other browsers now. They recently rejected adding vertical tabs when most other browsers have adopted them. Chrome is basically becoming a "television" browser where it is aimed at advertisers and not users.
Wikipedia is more vulnerable than you think, there are only around 840 administrators on the English Wikipedia, most of them who have been around for nearly 20 years. It would only take a few takedowns of major admins to disrupt the power balance on Wikipedia to a different viewpoint. The next level in the hierarchy, bureaucrats, only have 16 members. Many administrators, including one quite recently got demoted for conflict of interest editing on Wikipedia. Some of the other language Wikipedias already had their administrator's imprisoned by governments.
Using AI with Wiki content will eventually be seen as bad as vandalizing Wikis. The Wikimedia commons has over 100 million files, and most of them will not be seen by humans but instead be just scraped by AI bots which drains donors funds and wastes bandwidth and puts stresses on cpu and hard drive resources. If I ran Wikimedia I would enforce a strict human generated content and human access only policy to protect the project.
The forced buying of new computers for Windows 11 when Windows 10 was allowed on really old computers really turned a lot of people against Microsoft and they started looking for alternatives. Apple with their M Series Macs and the new Flatpak-based Linux distros have caught a lot of people's attention, along with developers fighting back against Windows' planned obsolescence with software like Supermium and extended kernels to keep previous Windows versions alive.
This is why Mozilla should stop bothering with the ESR version of Firefox. Too many features of it have to be polyfilled. The ESR cycle made sense when XUL was a thing, but now the extension APIs have been overhauled it should be easier for everyone to use the same browser version and tell outdated browsers to upgrade instead of having to backport features. Microsoft is also to blame here by making new versions of Windows abusive so people stick with outdated OS versions which only have ESR browsers. I just hope someone finds an unpatchable flaw in MS accounts so Microsoft is forced to go back to local accounts in Windows 12.
The revelations of the security problems with recall finally made me go all Linux. Whatever problems you can think of with Linux it pales in comparison with having CCTV in your OS.
And also ever since the 3G shutdown in the UK phones often fall back to GPRS and EDGE connections (2G), as 2G is not scheduled to shut down in the UK until 2033. I know several apps that are too slow to work in such conditions, as they are developed by people who use the latest 5G links in urban locations instead of testing it in rural and suburban areas with large amounts of trees.
Try using the internet on an "exchange only line". Technically it's broadband but its speeds are still dialup tier. I know several streets in my city that still have these connections.
So surprised that hacker news is stuck in ipv4 land. Even if you disagree with the method, I do not consider a device not capable of IPv6 to be using the real internet anymore. It's the same with the housing market where people would rather speculate on IPV4 houses instead of building plentiful IPv6 apartments.
Networking software and routers without ipv6 should be considered a security issue at this point and should have CVEs assigned against them. It's amazing how we deprecated unencrypted http across the internet but still use the equivalent for ip addresses.
