That seems like a rather arrogant tone to take. Reverse proxies are complicated. Easy to set up, but challenging to configure depending on what your needs are. Not everyone wants a homelab.

Everyone's journey starts somewhere and sometimes people's needs just don't extend beyond the easier choices available.

Yes, in ways that were actually greatly beneficial. Some companies were complete vaporware, but it proved a huge boom for fibre optic infrastructure and on the whole, building out modern telecom infrastructure. In a few short years, people went from dialup and T1 connections to DSL and high-speed cable. People weren't connected, and now they suddenly needed to be. It was an entirely new enterprise.

Unfortunately, these AI datacenters aren't really the same. They're not benefitting the public in a lasting sense. These are hot, they're loud, and they're expensive. The biggest benefits you may see from them after the bubble bursts is the infrastructure that was required to sustain them.

Improvements to sustainable, and cleaner energy sources are probably the biggest benefits. Reclaiming and rebuilding old nuclear plants, increased solar and wind projects. Governments that are willing to sell their constituents down a river for the business of a tech conglomerate won't benefit from this, but for the states that are now passing legislation to require these kinds companies to put their money into the communities they want to operate in may build lasting improvements.

It's a small silver lining, but it's there. That said, I can only imagine that when these companies see their business begin to get buried under the landslide of debt and reality that they will do everything in their power to escape liability for the waste of resources.

Frankly, I think the quality of the story there may, in and of itself, be evidence of how they managed to get a 52 page paper done and have it be well received by the prof.

It's better than that.

Ford has been in power since 2018. In his first two years, his admin advocated for and pushed through legislation specifically to allow speed cameras to be installed in municipalities. This may have been leftover legislative planning from the previous party, but in either case it rode through with conservative favour.

Political interests have since shifted, and with his most recent term as Premier, he's been loudly admonishing any municipality that installs speed cameras, bike lanes or other traffic calming measures because he's parroting nonsense about how it restricts traffic in high density areas and is making a stink about how it all just increases congestion.

It's dangerous, stupid and frustrating. He's made threats to municipalities thay don't agree with his declarations, attempting to deny typical grants allocated to improving infrastructure in smaller regions.

Dunno about that. Apple is good at making a sleek UI, but it's often not intuitive. I'll admit I haven't spent enough time with MacOS in its current iteration to have an opinion on it, but I'm saddled with an iPhone for work and it's just unpleasant to navigate at times.

A good example is app settings. I like that Apple centralizes configuration options in a single settings app, but this also leads to cases where you're limited in how an app can display its settings since now it's limited to toggles and dropdowns

Or cases where customization options are buried in accessibility toggles when they would be better suited to being under the actual system widget or tool it affects.

In my experience, Apple has had a great set of hardware paired with very strict opinions about features that haven't changed to match the way people use their devices these days.

Same, this seems incorrect

I had a blast with WD2. It was just fun. Unlike the first game, if wasn't taking itself too seriously and it came out at a time where Ubi was still sorta developing what would become their open world formula, so it still felt fresher than similar titles do now.

I've had the opposite experience with Tidal vs Qobuz. Tidal had almost none of what I listen to, but Qobuz did the best job of catching my library when I migrated.

I think it depends entirely on what your music interests are. But I've been pretty happy with Qobuz.

Darknet used to be good, but there's been a shift in the content recently in which it feels like Rhysider doesn't feel like he's interviewing someone as much as he's trying to be that annoying guy at the party who keeps butting in to try and tell your story for you.

I can't quite tell what changed, or when, but I feel like he used to give his subjects a lot more room to breathe instead of imposing his own personality over everything.

I don't feel bad for Microsoft, but responsible disclosure is about more than that.

It's ethical. It gives the developer time to correct an error before it has the potential to affect anyone using their products. When you don't follow that process, whether one set out by the developer, or a best effort on your part, you are now contributing to the potential harm caused by that vulnerability.

This isn't universal, and I have no doubt that Microsoft is also partly to blame, but there's a significant element of attention seeking in the mix here. They could have reached out to other security researchers, validated the findings in private and found another channel to work through. Maybe he tried, but largely it seems like his actions are retaliatory and broadly harmful to anyone who has to administer these products.

I have a lot of respect for security researchers. My job relies on the work they do and the skill it takes to do it. But part of that relies on doing things in a way that minimizes potential harm.

Fortnite went from Unreal 4 to 5. They're quite similar systems but Unreal changed pretty fundamentally between 3 and 4, so this is a big leap. We're talking about an engine that was built in 2006. I'm sure Psyonix has the internal support required to port it, but there's a lot more than a visual upgrade involved.

Yeah, Psyonix actually did a reasonable job still supporting it for folks who bought it on Steam. If Sweeney didn't have a stick so far up his ass about the value of other stores, it probably would continue too
