It’s the Apple Watch Edsel of cars.

Rush of Australians to the comments section.

Hand reaches over and I lovingly pat the HP-67 sitting on my desk.

I'm Australian, I didn't finish the stupid test.

ACID, so let’s see the Jepsen tests.

Horizon Worlds was always going to be a disaster. Complete crazy goals. An embarrassing mess of dopey looking legless avatars, then trying to force Meta employees to use it (everybody I knew there hated it). At this point I would like Palmer Luckey to take back what is left of Occulus, the tech has (much more modest) opportunities in gaming, entertainment, enterprise, military uses. Zuckerberg should pay him to take it.

Hopefully some day somebody will build a Tardis and travel back in time and eliminate the BBC morons who allowed all this destruction.

Good. I'll take Gary Tan and his demonstrated efforts to clean up a corrupt dysfunctional San Francisco over any opponent. Oh yes and fuck the Nimbys.

It's the horrible "IBM Watson" marketing of our time, and I expect will do as badly for Microsoft as Watson did for IBM.

I missed that Microsoft had been acquired by The Onion.

Excellent. Badly needed. Thank you Texas.

Comic Sans might have been a more appropriate choice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes that's a great stat. It's amazing how slowly large companies can die. Intel has serious problems in all those segments. Maybe they can recover but I'm pretty pessimistic about their chances.

No it's text-book pointing out the bloody obvious. It's a voice memo app sitting in an ring with limited functionality/usefulness. You can tart that idea up however you want but it's an obvious limited value idea itself at it's core and it is exactly the type of thing that will do better as an app on somebody else' platform.

Oh look it's a Humane AI Pin without the AI, or rechargeable battery, or ...

It's an app. It's an app that will run on somebody else's platform. Putting that in a ring has so marginal benefits (you can't find a phone or computer or notepad or... to record ideas and do it better) and has so many limitations. It's a non-starter.

A periodic reminder Intel is still in business.

Had very similar dropouts with Comcast. Fired them years ago. Can't be happier than with the 10G Sonic Fiber. Yes we are lucky.

I had an old Samsung washing machine and it was annoying with chimes, maybe it was not Schubert or I never realized it.

Yes, it's just evil. I sure would not buy a Samsung TV laden with crap, I just will not do it. I run an old high-end commercial plasma display and otherwise watch video on dumb computer monitors or iPads. And yes I know, an iPad is far from a dumb device.

Zero chance I'll purchasing any household device from Samsung. Not with all the crapware and spyware they pile onto their systems. Zero chance I'd purchase a household appliance with a large screen. WTF would I want that for. More garbage annoying crap and more to go wrong. The never ending chimes about everything on our Mellie clothes dryer was annoying enough... (and oh it wants to connect to the WiFi? Good luck with that. Terrible menu UI. I'll never buy one of those again either).

I like to think in future there migh be Harry Tuttle like appliance repair vigilantes that come out and remove all this crap from home appliances. :-)

Well done Steinberg/Yamaha.

At the same time Steinberg also open sourced their ASIO audio hardware interface standard but under GPL3. GPL2 here would have made more sense to me to align with the Linux kernel GPL2 only licensing. So why GPL3? Other commenters here have mentioned OBS, and OBS is "GPLv2 or later" so sure that works for them. Not being GPL 2 and missing on the Linux kernel just surprises me.

I have been using the nice cwASIO (https://github.com/s13n/cwASIO) re-implementation of the ASIO SDK, it's MIT licensed. https://github.com/s13n/cwASIO. It's nice there just to see something more up to date than the ancient ASIO SDK documentation. I would love to see the Steinberg ASIO SDK updated and improved, if you are listening Steinberg folks: nobody cares about the history of ASIO on Macs or Silicon Graphics Workstations, just dive in and get deep into the weeds of ASIO on Windows, and include lots more sample code, especially covering the ASIO device enumeration mess on Windows.

Carplay is absolutely a requirement for me for any purchase. Mmmm maybe Barra knows something special about typical GM purchasers, or maybe she is just loony tunes nuts.

Apple talking about big leaps in AI anything is real Fonzi taking a big leap over the shark stuff.

Microsoft software gavage, and we are the geese.

Aw darn :-(

Your honor, it appears somebody has obtained your Netflix video rental history and has been asking ChatGPT about it.

I wonder how well flat rate movers is going to survive network partitions, clock skews, and quorum failures.

I'd prefer a coconut please!

Surely one of the the main reason to program in Lisp (and Haskell, and ???) is so you can write blog posts about doing so :-)

(I do really like Lisp).

I would GTFO, IBM ain't your friend and ain't your savior and are unlikely to invest and the worse may come with increasing IBM management sticking their fingers in the pie. The folks who did well out of this already know, they have the checks to cash if that was your take away congratulations. Otherwise find another opportunity. If nothing else look around and find out what you are worth on the market and then have that hard discussion soon with HashiCorp/IBM.
