Huh, that explains it, I was wondering why I was having problems with some video that VLC would even playback correctly, I didn't think to try the stock mpv.

So for Adobe apps, for which this would be very useful, they install by default as Adobe <appname> <year>, i.e. "Adobe Photoshop 2023". I have several revisions installed for most of them for various reasons. When I attempt to add a shortcut from pie-menu.com, it tells me "Application adobe photoshop is not installed on your computer" :(

Isn't it also that Nvidia chips are basically unobtainable right now anyway?

Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752

Isn't this exactly what Google does in Chrome?

The Surface Pro seems to be exactly what you want, it must be dominating the iPad in unit volume.

Everything else is going to be a shill, too. 'People' will eventually have to pay for these valuations.

Avast actually had a trojan horse product whose main purpose was collecting browsing history for sale to data brokers ... that you paid a subscription fee for.

>TSMC are succeeding because of these things, not in spite of them

This was the conventional wisdom about Japan in the 1980s as well, and they fell into the abyss with everyone else when China was capitalized and could offer labor for 1/4 the cost. The tactics that get you there aren't necessarily the ones that keep you there.

As noted, there are quite a few of these, I use this project:

It's actively maintained and lets me put the tab bar directly above the content but you can set it up to fully return you to the days of Firefox 4 if you want...

You have to learn a new alphabet for Russian. This is also one of the reasons for the high difficulty classification of the Asian languages that have their own scripts.

They mean the freedom to impose their views on others, because if the ignorant can just be made to hear the 'truth' they will believe it too. Having the ability to remove such toxicity from the much larger community of people who genuinely want share ideas is a strength of the platform, not a weakness.

Reminds me of Skydive Chicago, whose founder died there in a jump accident after serving time in federal prison for also running a drug smuggling operation. They also had a dodgy safety record at the time, but this was more than 20 years ago.

Try replacing the clock battery on a unit that has one :/

An insider could just be tasked to look for exploitable vulnerabilities in existing code and compile this information for outside entities without ever having to risk inserting a purpose-made backdoor. Considering the security state of most large codebases, there would be a bottomless well of them.

The positive ROI may accrue primarily to the top executives who are in a position to directly make that decision. Especially in a field like semiconductor processing where risks are high on new investment, it is almost always a lower risk decision to buyback the stock. I don't know the specifics of Otellini's pay package, but I would assume that his tenure resulted in massive wealth for himself, so this is certainly rational economic behavior but severely damaged the company.

Yes, it saves time vs. starting a discussion on "that crypto cache sidechannel attack that one team in China found".

In that case, according to capitalism there should be massive private equity investment in transformers right about now.

AI models don't eat.

Joplin has a WYSIWYG editor mode. https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/rich_text_editor Joplin also can use external editors. https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/external_text_editor

There was actually a company that specialized in salvaging sunken logs from old lumber operations in Lake Superior.

Company went out of business (ran out of logs?) in 2015.

Doesn't solve the problem, just pushes the stuff into the curbs where it then is a concentrated threat to bike tires. What they should do is mount a big electromagnet on the back of the sweeper to then pick any metal up.

You didn't even mention Optum Bank, which they use to also sponge up that sweet HSA cash lest any drop of healthcare spend somehow escape UHG's toll.

>used for 30+ years = failed

I don't understand why so many technical people equate monopoly with success. I use IRC every day.

As they always say in investing, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

It wasn't that long ago that Intel was dominating and it looked like nobody would ever dislodge them. Once the top management that drove a company to success retire, they are almost guaranteed to be replaced by people whose main skill set was political navigating in a large bureaucracy and then the decline begins.

Or can't use ... I have a newish work account and downloaded Gemini on a Pixel 8 Pro and get "Gemini isn't available" and "Try again later" with no explanation of why not and when.

My grandfather was in the German army in WW2 and he said they called them Fallschirmjäger - paratroopers - for exactly this reason, they would climb tent walls to drop onto beds that had their legs placed in tins of water to try and keep them off.

I'm guessing twice as much corporate effort is currently being deployed to find this guy than is being applied to fixing Boeing's quality system.
