  • Is that basically the premise of NixOS?

  • We only recently got on-device Siri and it still isn’t always on-device if I understand correctly. So the same level of privacy that applies to in-the-cloud Siri could apply here.

  • Racing driver or Daft Punk member?

  • They’re just repackaging AltaVista results.

  • Cute.

    So these appear to be actual Lego sets, not a game like Lego Star Wars, Lego Marvel or whatever. I’d love to see a Nintendo-platform Lego Animal Crossing game.

  • Software fix to block the Instagram bug that was causing the overheating.

  • Bots aside this is kind of terrifying.

    It’s not like this will keep happening every year. No, it’s much worse. Temperatures will keep getting even hotter for decades until greenhouse gas emissions reach zero. In a few decades we will wish it was only this hot.

  • Doesn’t it vary quite a bit by province?

  • This is SEO not a real article.

  • And of course there have been forges launched, including SourceHut, Gitea, Gogs, Forgejo…

  • MKBHD was using mmWave. When 5G first came out, most news stories talked about it being “10 times faster” and that it had a short range, so phone companies would have to put transmitters on every light pole. All of which is true for ultra-wideband/mmWave.

    What those stories missed was that UWB/mmWave isn’t the common 5G. Most 5G is mid-band or low-band, which uses regular towers and has a range of miles. As of 2021, latest data I could find, less than 1% of users were on mmWave.

  • I can’t read the article because of the paywall, but why are there a bunch of Android screens in the background behind “Steve”?

  • You may be thinking of ultra-wideband, a very fast but extremely rare variant of 5G that only works over short ranges and requires you to be in sight of the transmitter. This is available in some parts of some stadiums, although Verizon tries hard to make it seem like it’s everywhere.

    Normal 5G, such as the midband frequencies that T-Mobile often uses, covers a several-mile radius.

  • As Mark Twain said, “Never discuss politics, semicolons, tabs, or religion in polite company.”

  • But can you connect to the Microsoft Support Usenet server?

  • It would be interesting to see what the difference is. The slim image doesn’t even have vi installed, although it does have bash. And of course, git, etc. are not present. Much of the difference could be the size difference between musl and libc, and the size difference between apk and apt metadata.

    I don’t think OP is going to find a non-musl distro as small as Alpine. These stripped-down Debians are a lot bigger, but among the smallest non-Alpine that you’ll find.

  • Standard node images are around 1 GB. node:lts-alpine is about 176 MB. So it’s fairly close to alpine in this case.

  • Yes. You have to be 18. They check your ID and make sure you’re not buying too many boxes of it to stock your meth lab, but otherwise it’s not restricted.
