That list only includes suggestions that were seriously considered and voted on.

Since it's a vote, there is no single official 'reason' for rejection. If I had to guess: it would be confusing to anyone who didn't grow up with American TV shows.

To prevent this sort of abuse, the server would have to request the `pseudonym` field, which contains a hash across the server identity and the card's secret salt, allowing the server to detect abuse but not to track the user across multiple services.

OR:

The website sends a request for age verification.

The app[1] on the user's device[2] forwards that request to the chip on the user's ID card. The user authorizes themselves with their 6 digit PIN stored on the card.

The chip produces a signed reply containing the following payload fields: `issuing_country:string` and `over_18:bool`

What Is (AI) Glaze? 7 months ago

Even if it doesn't work, it's important to try.

If OpenAI steals all your work, that's copyright infringement - but if you tried to stop them through technical means and they do it anyway, that's felony DRM circumvention.

Privately-owned companies can provide better value to their customers. They can invest in customer trust and brand value that pays off over decades, not quarters.

They can also choose enshittification, but they are not pressured into it like companies with institutional investors are.

As a Hetzner customer, I would lose out if they went public.

Intel i5-9350, UHD Graphics 620, Windows 11 v25H2

Completely unplayable. It runs fine at first, and then suddenly drops to below 1FPS for no discernible reason. This happens regardless whether I am on the world map or combat scene. I am running the exe, couldn't find the browser version.

On an unrelated note, I am surprised to see a JS program working without the usual 200MB NW.js runtime (as seen with RPG-MV)

You must connect to the internet and connect your Microsoft account. There used to be a workaround using console commands, but that was removed recently.

Without a cloud account, you are stuck on the OOBE setup screen.

Events include:

Early in the war, Starlink used their killswitch to prevent Ukraine from utilizing their service for military purposes.

The sitting US president has threatened war against Greenland. He has not backed down or apologized, merely moved on hoping we would forget.

You'd have to be crazy to pick Starlink under these circumstances.

It's very counter-intuitive to me that 22:22 would need to be a quoted string, since functionally it's a K-V-pair. YAML itself even uses : in the Dict syntax!

In other words, Apple complies with paragraph 18 of EU-Directive 2024/1799: "manufacturers are to provide access to spare parts, repair and maintenance information or any repair related software tools, firmware or similar auxiliary means."

This directive applies EU-wide for all devices sold after 31st of July 2026. Some countries have earlier deadlines, e.g. devices sold in Germany after 20th of June 2025.

I'm glad that they didn't try to delay it for the better part of a decade like they did with USB charging ports.

It's not a fixed split. I don't know if it's possible live, or if it requires a reboot, but it's not hardwired.

I want to know if it's possible. 4GB for Linux, a bit of room for the calculations, and then you can load a 122GB model entirely into VRAM.

How would that perform in real life? Someone please benchmark it!

There's been some theories floating around that the 128gb version could be the best value for on-premise LLM inference. The RAM is split between CPU and GPU at a user-configurable ratio.

So this might be the holy grail of "good enough GPU" and "over 100GB of VRAM" if the rest of the system can keep up.

Elon is in charge of reducing 'wasteful' government spending.

Him gutting NASA and giving their entire budget to SpaceX is a question of 'when' rather than 'if'.
