It’s almost like planned obsolescence is a well document and viable business strategy.

Are they saying they are enslaving what they believe is a conscient being? Oof

If you go really out of the beaten path, a client that only reads from other instances could use the RSS feed to go around the signed requests.

Issue arrest international arrest warrants for everyone from the CEO to the janitors and this kind of crap will stop.

There are plenty of people saying that cloud gaming is the solution to the GPU and RAM price hikes, like it wasn’t obvious that the increased prices also affected the cloud providers and, more importantly for their management, gave them the perfect moment to enshittify their services.

Edit: two examples from my browser history:

• https://www.xda-developers.com/i-compared-cloud-gaming-to-building-a-pc-and-the-ram-crisis-made-my-decision-easy/

Honestly this seems an easy win for them in court, even if it’s a PR nightmare.

Consoles are not essential goods, so if you were willing to pay the inflated price, it doesn’t matter if it was inflated because the manufacturer wanted a bigger margin or because your president is an idiot.

Companies set the prices to maximize profit, so it’s not like the previous price was lower because they love us, it was the price where they thought sales×margins were bigger given the circumstances.

Where’s the “future is cloud gaming” crowd?

So the trick to get customer rights in the US is to be a corporation?

Libreoffice is MPL, which allows distribution alongside proprietary software.

I’m not a lawyer, but my understanding is that MPL is weak copyleft, so libreoffice can be distributed alongside proprietary software as long as they make the source of their libreoffice build available.

Today, the 21st off September 2025,

Not news.

Him being evil doesn’t preclude him being right (in this case). By all means, shoot the messenger, but listen to the message.

Several U.S. government agencies warned that unidentified hackers are trying to breach devices made by Siemens t

That’s a completely different statement from the one in the title.

It isn’t. Even though it has an English name it was always based on the Netherlands.

ASML was never an American company. It started as a joint venture between the Dutch Phillips and the equally Dutch ASM, and when it became an independent company it remained in the Netherlands. Did you know non American companies are also allowed to have English names?

Which is how most Android and pretty much all iOS apps do it.

The new Kernel Predicting Network places around 90% of its parameters at 540p or below and does little work at 4K

The ELI5(ish) is that they now do as much image enhancement work in low resolution (before upscaling) as possible so the AI has far fewer pixels to process.

The upgraded model also stops predicting the final color directly. Instead, the KPN generates blend weights while conventional filtering handles the actual blend. This avoids storing and blending HDR color in 8-bit form and allows the network to spend less capacity on those operations.

At the same time they aren’t using the expensive model for handling colour, because doing it the “old fashioned” way is more efficient and produces better results.

My guess is that videogames are mainstream enough now to fall into the art exception.

Underscoring how much Meta has dropped the ball on this one, even X — owned by Elon Musk, who performed two suspiciously Sieg Heil-looking salutes back in 2025 — has banned The Noticer for violating its “hateful profile policy.”

Not just Nazis but Nazis that make other Nazis squeamish.

To support and to need are two different verbs. Linux also needs your phone number in the user metadata by the same standard.
