I wasn’t aware they considered Zionist a negative term. I was under the impression they were proudly Zionist.

For years if not decades Israeli hardliners have been using Nazi style rhetoric describing Palestinians as subhuman. It’d be a joke if it wasn’t so horrifying.

I don’t like Harris very much. But the fact that half the country is willing to choose a deranged con artist over her is just beyond any rational thought.

They said the same when the crypto hype came along. If AI dies off there will be other trends in computing that require cutting edge silicon. AI may or may not continue surging but hardware will be needed no matter what. NVIDIA is selling shovels, not panning for gold.

Killing the head of a terrorist organization won’t help if you don’t fix the underlying issues.He will be replaced in short order, usually by someone worse. Likewise this kind of political movement.

What the left in Europe (well in my country at least) still doesn’t understand is that they’re not going to fix this by lecturing the populist voters about how all their thoughts and ideas are wrong.

Both being a bigot for money and pointing out bigots for money is big business. Neither is going anywhere fast.

The register is a tech magazine, so the DIY/3D printed angle is relevant here. It’s also relevant because it would, at least to some degree, allow someone to build it themselves in places where perhaps the legality of self determination is questionable. The Register is not a place where you’ll normally find unnecessary clickbait headlines.

I mean a little girl was bitten quite severely a few weeks ago around here. I’m not saying this is the best choice but it’s also easy to make a glib offhand comment about a complicated situation.

The way the title is worded (“a city where people are expected…”) implies this is referring to people that live in NY. I’d clarify it by saying something like “the only city of which people from the rest of the country are expected to know…”

So it’s not a problem with AI. It’s just a problem for some mayfly companies that try to profit from the latest trend?

Shutup still works but I wouldn’t trust it to prevent all telemetry. I wouldn’t trust Microsoft not to have other telemetry that’s not part of their services that can be turned off.

Just my 2 cents: I dual boot Windows and Linux. I only start up Windows when I want to play a game, use Linux Mint for everything else. Some games run perfectly fine under Linux (I play a lot of Factorio for example. No Mans Sky I’ve had no issues etc.) but some are just a pain. For those I switch to Windows and then immediately switch back when I’m done playing.

It’s not ideal but this way Windows has next to no information about me at least. And as times goes on I’m seeing more and more games running just fine under Linux. Maybe one day I’ll be able to drop Windows completely.

Unlikely. It won’t run optimally but it shouldn’t be the cause of crashes or bugs. If you’re not sure you can run a ram test (https://memtest.org/)

I looked at an “AAA” game maybe twice in give or take the last decade and both times have regretted it. Indie games are the bomb.

I can appreciate that sentiment but at the same time it’d be hard to swallow if I were Ukrainian and the Russians were at this very moment killing my countrymen while my ally invites them over for tea. It’s one thing to let go of the past, quite another to let go of the present.

Other people have already explained why but let me just add my “you’re a despicable moron” to the pile here.

Scientrix?

Man I need a replay of the whole series. Thanks for the reminder <3

These same senators are responsible for spouting tongs of other of nonsense, I wouldn’t take it too seriously and don’t make up the majority of even the insane wing of the GOP. Not saying this is not a threat that, for example, Trump might make if he gets elected but for now I would take this with a grain of salt. They’re just puffing up their chests for their own base here, as usual.

But only one of these two has the capability to and is actively working towards wiping the other off the map. I’d say any lasting peace would have to start there.

My kid didn’t think I look enough like a real dad so he harangued me until I grew a beard. And hey it grew on me and eventually even on my wife. Well you know what I mean.
