In other words, Apple complies with paragraph 18 of EU-Directive 2024/1799: "manufacturers are to provide access to spare parts, repair and maintenance information or any repair related software tools, firmware or similar auxiliary means."

This directive applies EU-wide for all devices sold after 31st of July 2026. Some countries have earlier deadlines, e.g. devices sold in Germany after 20th of June 2025.

I'm glad that they didn't try to delay it for the better part of a decade like they did with USB charging ports.

There's a big difference between "I wish Slack didn't have optional skin colors" vs "I wish Slack didn't have mandatory segregation"

It's not a fixed split. I don't know if it's possible live, or if it requires a reboot, but it's not hardwired.

I want to know if it's possible. 4GB for Linux, a bit of room for the calculations, and then you can load a 122GB model entirely into VRAM.

How would that perform in real life? Someone please benchmark it!

There's been some theories floating around that the 128gb version could be the best value for on-premise LLM inference. The RAM is split between CPU and GPU at a user-configurable ratio.

So this might be the holy grail of "good enough GPU" and "over 100GB of VRAM" if the rest of the system can keep up.

My understanding is that 'anti-cheat' solutions are the biggest remaining issue. Proprietary drivers that are by design resistant to analysis and reverse-engineering.

Elon is in charge of reducing 'wasteful' government spending.

Him gutting NASA and giving their entire budget to SpaceX is a question of 'when' rather than 'if'.

Rather than "spam", the usual term I see for genAI content is "slop" (original meaning: a mixture of kitchen waste and leftovers that is barely good enough for the pigs)

As a German: I'll gladly consider a Tesla again after Elon gets the old Nuremberg neck tie like all the other fascists.

>Why do so many people think it was a Nazi Salute

Because it was the Hitler Salute. The Salute thar Hitler did. That Salute.

>If it was, why didn't he say so?

He did.

>What would be the point of doing it?

To demonstrate to other Nazis that he is also a Nazi (Virtue Signaling)

It seems alarmist until you consider that Musk is a Nazi. He did the Hitler salute, live on national television. His followers tried to downplay it, but his own answer to the question "Are you a Nazi?" was "I bet you did Nazi that coming!"

People joke that he went from being the Henry Ford of our generation to being the Henry Ford of our generation.

I don't know whether I would say that Trump is a Nazi*, but the fact that he put a Nazi in charge of firing govt employees that don't follow orders does not bode well.

EDIT: * If only because he has never publicly admitted to being a Nazi like Musk has.

>Saddam had no WMDs, nor intention to gather them - and we should have known that. We didn't do our due diligence

As the saying goes, "It's obvious now in hindsight that NFTs are a scam, but to be fair, it was also obvious at the start, and in the middle too"

The US and their allies did do their due diligence. They knew with near-certainty that he didn't have WMDs. All the 'evidence' was purely hypothetical (e.g. he could evade detection by building mobile labs inside semitruck trailers), hearsay from known-bad sources, or outright forged.

Saddam was bad, but no worse than the dictators that the US is neutral or friendly towards.

Yeah, Aldi in the US is Aldi South, Trader Joe's is a subsidiary of Aldi North.

If anything it should be Al'sdi (Albrecht's Discount)

What can I say, they walked right into that one...

Nope, they're all running on Rails.

How I understand it: VR is an entirely artificial environment. Augmented Reality is a mix between real world and artificial elements, in any proportion. Mixed Reality is Microsoft's term for AR. Spatial Computing is Apple's term for AR.

According to this proposal, it would be a syntax error.

They attached the Skype brand to an unrelated product (Lync -> Skype for Business)

From what I remember, the two Skypes were never fully interoperable.

I guess they wanted to start fresh rather than clean up that mess and didn't want a third incompatible Skype.

Rabbids are a spinoff from Rayman. I would assume Ubisoft was the driving creative force behind it. And it's somewhat damning that the "relatively recent" innovation is currently two expansion packs into its second installment.

How about this:

Server-wide salt. Randomly generated every 24h or server reboot (whichever is sooner).

The salt is not saved alongside the hashed IP, it is not saved anywhere whatsoever. There is no log of previous salts.

You can still track a user session across multiple page calls, but the hash can not track them across different sites.

I could create a fork that differs only in name and maybe changes one or two default settings. See also: Chromium forks that disable telemetry and nothing else.

Right, shouldn't it be GPL? BSD can be used in commercial products.

And even if the licensing of this project holds up as the author intends: If I make an Open Source project based on this, and someone else uses that in a commercial product, it would be 100% legal according to the BSD license.

This is by the same company that runs Second Life, which has heavily regulated in-game gambling, even citing the "Reasoned Legal Opinion" of the "Attorney General of Alaska" for why the things they allow are legal in 38 states (and D.C.)[1]

So we know for certain that it is not legal for most forms of gambling, only for games that are at least 51% skill-based.

That's the problem with giant do-everything companies like Google and Amazon. People should never be locked out of critical infrastructure without (the equivalent of) a fair trial. I mention Google because they have been banning people who [feces]post on Youtube, locking them out from all services including accessing content they paid for, checking the calendar on their phones, and even receiving emails.

It is possible to do better. Valve does what should be the absolute minimum; tracking community forum bans separately from anticheat bans, neither of which stops you from accessing single-player content you paid for.

It's in the video. Several hundred dollars per month.

Not a lot of money compared to what he makes off his youtube channel, or off his for Macbook repair business with six employees.

He's mad that he got banned for an obviously fake reason, not because of the money.

Yes, and companies doing business in the EU may only use GDPR-compliant hosting.

All European providers as well as major international provider like AWS [1] have compliance statements. The EU companies are more likely to take it seriously, e.g. Hetzner only logs the first three segments of your IP (i.e 24bit IPv4 or 48bit IPv6). Every other EU-based provider I've used at least offers it as an option. If you run your own server, there are nginx and apache modules [2] that anonymize your logs.

It's real. We're 100% serious.

The radiation is not the part I'd be worried about, but uranium is about as toxic as lead.

And a chemistry set that contains brittle lead ores/alloys that "tend to flake and crumble" is not something I'd want a 12 year old using unsupervised. Nor would I trust the vast majority of adults for that matter...

And if you're a startup looking to ship 10k units in your first Kickstarter round, this library will probably be low-cost compared to your other expenses. But I have no illusions that I'll be able to afford it for a one-off hobby project.

It depends on the cartridge. If you buy the subscription, you get special subscription cartridges that will stop working if you cancel, but they are included in the subscription price. If you buy normal cartridges, they will work until they are empty.

If you paid money for a cartridge that doesn't work without a subscription, you got scammed by the seller, not by HP.

Life is a Cory Doctorow story...
