I just want to know why my Windows 10 laptop is waking up by itself in the middle of the night to apply updates it isn’t supposed to have?

To answer the question as written: yes.

They reversed that policy

For now.

Careful with the ugreen: I found if you get the cheaper option, you can’t hot-swap a disk anymore. They don’t make that really clear.

We marked a line in tape at the door of my business. My cousin’s girlfriend could not enter because we’d crash every time she did.

So the glitch is in auth/access/accounting, like the intern just pushed to prod.

Got a version without docker?

Let it fold: one half holds the landscape screen, and across the lengthwise hinge is space for a wonderful keyboard. Let it be a phone-phone when it’s clammed up and you still have space for Qi and a 3.5mm. BLISS

The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention.

As an Open-source contributor and former owner of several projects, I’m embarrassed.

If you came into Open-source to become rich or famous, you’re a selfish fool. Code for the sake of the code.

The plot below shows the price of TVs across Best Buy’s Black Friday ads for the last 25 years. The units are “dollars per area-pixel”: price divided by screen area times the number of pixels (normalized so that standard definition = 1). This is to account for the fact that bigger, higher resolution TVs are more expensive. You can see that, in line with the inflation chart, the price per area-pixel has fallen by more than 90%.

Yay! Now do computer ram from 1980 to 2020 before Ai was involved, and discuss size per dollar. You wanna do CPUs or hard drives next?

Heckling your friends after they dropped $3k on some sloppy fridge is kinda cruel. Advise them hard when they ask for advice - here’s where you say “everyone will laugh” and “stupidest idea” - but commiserate when they realize what they’ve got.

You want to be in a position to offer advice for the next sloppy purchase.

probably shut down the AI servers in a few years for cost reduction making the whole thing a huge waste of money.

It’s like you’ve seen the Portal video chat units. (What a beautiful piece of hardware)

That’s something the EU would do, but never America.

Are we still saying “vote to block” and not “vote to allow” for this illegal invasion? I think the trends observed deserve a little rewording so we don’t get our hopes up.

Container crutches. Ew. And if a dev can’t spell self-hosted, then I don’t trust them to do it properly.

Canada would be happy to receive many of these skilled refugees. There are programmes now for medical workers, and if global companies prefer American timezones for worker surveillance, then have I got news for them !

Me too. I didn’t want to go in, but it was my sister who said “you’re injured. Sit the queue like a big boy.”

And so I did. And the first antibiotic and anti-protozoa mix left me vomiting aggressively. So I sat the queue again. The second mix, doxy+metro, is much gentler and I’m able to keep food down.

Only 4, then 6 hours in A+E. Drugs on extended health coverage, $0 ultimately. 🇨🇦

I went to school in a place called West Bank. It wasn’t in Palestine.

There may be others, but I wouldn’t expect Alabama to consider that.

It’s SJVN. That’s all you need to know.

He’s no Cringely.

will let

This implies there was a choice. I’d’ve been glad for a “must let” headline.
