I have a framework. I'm not aware of any others though. But I do remember that physical wifi switches were common on HPs back about 15-20 years ago.

Get a laptop with hardware switches for the camera and microphone, tbh

but can I say he's wrong? I don't know.

Not a cult. Not a cult. Not a cult. Not a cult.

Anakin brought balance to the force by slaughtering all of the Jedi.

Before, thousands of Jedi, like 4(?) sith.

After, 2 Jedi, 2 sith. Perfectly balanced.

Gmail data gets used in LLM training. I wonder how Gemini 2.5 would auto complete "The code to the nuclear football is"...

Twilight princess got a HD remaster though.

Having played all of the 2d Metroids, Super Metroid still holds up very well, even compared to the newer games. There's less direction than what you might be used to though. Newer entries in the series tend to try to funnel you places. But if you are simply concerned about the gameplay being clunky, don't be.

Super Metroid way ahead of its time, and the controls are extremely responsive and tight. It's one of the reasons it's such a popular speed game. It's just fun to play. While basic controls are serviceable, there are many tricks you find yourself learning about as you play the game, which you just have access to, that give the movement system quite a bit of depth. (For hints, let the attract move run at the beginning of the game.)

I googled it for you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_male_syndrome

In 90 percent of these individuals, the syndrome is caused by the Y chromosome's SRY gene, which triggers male reproductive development, being atypically included in the crossing over of genetic information that takes place between the pseudoautosomal regions of the X and Y chromosomes during meiosis in the father.[2][7] When the X with the SRY gene combines with a normal X from the mother during fertilization, the result is an XX genetic male. Less common are SRY-negative individuals, those who are genetically females, which can be caused by a mutation in an autosomal or X chromosomal gene.[2] The masculinization of XX males is variable.

Same tbh. Framework just works. And they do contribute back, just perhaps not as much specifically to Linux. Open source hardware is so incredibly valuable and important and rare. Honestly, if I had to choose only based on how much is contributed back, I'd still pick Framework.

I'm currently working on a government funded project to develop a robot to locate nuclear contamination in soil (for cleaning up the Hartford and Savannah River sites, where we used to make nuclear weapons). The idea being that we use robots to perform these surveys rather than handheld detectors.

My recommendation though, is focus only on one thing. Having two degrees has not made me particularly marketable, it is certainly unique, but HR doesn't actually seem to give much of a shit. Instead, it's much better to focus on one thing, get a Masters or PhD in it (double degrees also suck for this as well, because you don't have time for research and publishing when you're graduating with 195 credit hours taken out of 128 required, so even if you have a good GPA it's hard to get into grad school).

I did a double major in college.

In my computer engineering courses, I learned digital signal processing, and then took a follow-up course on signals and systems because I enjoyed the material and I had an eye on robots, because robots are dope.

Imagine my surprise when I got to 4th year and I suddenly found myself using the exact same math to handle thermal and fission product neutron poisoning feedback in my nuclear reactor physics courses.

Holy loaded language Batman? "Attacking" the "way of life?" It's women's high school sports, not some ancient and sacred tradition. Just kids trying to have fun.

Get some goddamn perspective please. Transphobes didn't care about women's highschool basketball until it gave them a wedge issue to attack transwomen. The fact that it became a topic and a talking point has nothing at all to do with how much an issue it actually is.

To be fair, the last time I saw this image was probably either in the 90s or early 2000s

This is the highest resolution of this picture I've ever seen.

Damn dude. Is your life really so pathetic that you are honestly deriving please from bad news being delivered to people who are on the opposite side of a fucking web browser debate? That's sad. I hope things start looking up for you in the future.

Fair, if you really are curious what was going on in my brain it was first I looked at it and assumed mm.dd.yy, because context clues led me to assume you are American, but then I noticed the year was 2007, so I swapped the year and the month mentally without revisiting the entire thing. Idiot in a hurry syndrome, no one uses yy.dd.mm.

Oh! I missed that! For some reason I thought it was Feb 11 not Nov 2

2025 - 2007 = 18, actually.

It's kind of crazy remembering 1) horrible Bush was, 2) how much better Bush was than the current administration in retrospect.

The point about the conspiricists now toeing the Republican party line was prescient.

Good article, thanks for sharing.

"You mean I hitched my wagon to Grabthor The Wagon Destroyer, and he destroyed my wagon? This is an outrage!"

Or instead of targeting tiktok specifically, they could have chosen to pass a data privacy law and actually did something worthwhile instead of pointless, unpopular grandstanding. Haha just kidding, they would never do anything to reduce even slightly shareholder value.
