You only have to cry once a day to power your contact lenses!

It failed because the CCP didn’t spend the time gained by the strategy to vaccinate the whole population. They would have had plenty of time for that until Omicron hit.

In an unvaccinated workplace, a single infected person can easily infect everybody in a single day. In my country, by that time everybody already was either vaccinated or recovered (or dead), so it only hit half of the people (I was one of the ones who got it back then btw).

Since the antitrust laws don’t exist any more, it’s legal, yes. If you don’t want that, you have to switch to Linux.

But consider the low gravity dances!

Maybe you’re just used to the usual articles where the whole story is based on a tweet (X post?) and thus the content is already contained in the headline.

First off, Apple licensed the idea from Xerox, they didn’t steal it. Second, Apple lost because they had a badly worded contract with Microsoft for implementing Word for Mac that could be construed to allow them to copy the system's API and thus UI.

It’s a bit more complex than that. Intel CPUs (to this day) boot in real mode, which is what DOS is using. In this mode, the system only has access to 640k of RAM. Windows 95 and later switch the processor to protected mode, where the system gets access to all of the RAM and also to memory protection features, so processes can’t real and write each other’s memory. However, in this mode it’s impossible to run real mode code, such as the one provided by DOS.

DOS games had a trick where they briefly switched back to real mode to execute DOS functions (mostly reading and writing to disk) and then back to protected mode, but I don’t think that Windows 95 did that.

We have to stop voting for neoliberals first, globally.

Of course the air traffic controllers should be listened to, since they can predict the future tendencies.

I think railroads have less safety margin in their system, mostly due to having one dimension fewer available. A plane can (and automatically does) stop a collision by ascending or descending. A train can't do that.

I'm not fixing anything, I'm just saying that "everybody panic!" is premature.

I'm not blaming NVIDIA for this, it's just bad that the two jobs of creating cards and creating rendering tech are combined within a single company.

Yes, but the "everybody panic!" vibe the article is trying to convey is way too dramatic.

Based on the videos of near misses on YouTube, the safety margins are so enormous that even an event classified as near miss is not really recognizable by a layperson, because the two airplanes are nowhere near each other.

This is very exciting. Unfortunately, AMD card won’t be able to benefit from this, making the GPU market ever more fragmented.

Here in the neighbor country of Austria, the solar growth is limited by the installation capacity currently. There are backlogs of two years for nearly all installation companies, as far as I've heard. Prices are also crazy high due to this.

Any good battery management system should avoid that.

When the SD is discharged, it tries to charge from the external power source (it doesn’t know that it’s a battery and not a charger). Battery to battery charging is just losing energy to heat. So, it’s probably better to discharge the external pack while the SD is at 100%.

Those labels are there because people made a quick buck suing the companies when they messed up, not to protect the stupid customers.

If the courts would apply a reasonable level of common sense, they wouldn’t exist.

True, good point. As far as I know, it does turn itself off if it detects something it can't handle, though. The problem with cross traffic is that it obviously can't detect it, otherwise turning itself off would already be a way of handling it.

Proximity detection is far easier up in the air, especially if you're not bound by the weird requirement to only use visible spectrum cameras.

(To make things clear, I'm just defending the engineers there who had to work within these constraints. All of this is a pure management failure.)
