There are exclusions to copyrights accepted under fair use which could easily be tightened if major copyright holders (like Disney) have their way.

It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.
I was talking about Appx. I haven’t used Windows in a while, but that was how I got rid of Cortana. The key part was the read-only file named after the folder that couldn’t be replaced.
Windows does have its own command-line package manager. I don’t know if it can remove Recall, but last I checked it could remove Cortana. It would just get reinstalled soon after, but that could be prevented with some file-naming trickery. If you give a file the same name as the folder used to have and make it read-only, it couldn’t remake the folder and wouldn’t reinstall.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you can still do that now.
uBlock Origin and similar ad blockers stop YouTube ads. Occasionally YouTube changes something and ads sneak through until someone updates the filters.
Now that Chrome has essentially neutered its ad blockers, the only option for many people is Firefox on desktop and mobile, which still has a working version of uBO.
Ignorance is not stupidity.
Despite this being reported on tech news, most people won’t even be aware that it’s a thing because most people won’t actually read about it. And the majority of gamers probably don’t even know what a kernel is or why an anti-cheat with elevated privileges would be a bad thing.
Most people buy their computers with Windows preinstalled and probably couldn’t tell you if the CPU is Intel or AMD.
It’s ok to use google as a verb. Using the word that way is how it becomes generic, which is something Google would really hate. Not that it’s gonna happen anytime soon, but we can always try.
Out of principle, if I can’t block or skip an ad, I’m closing the window. I’d rather not use the service than be force-fed advertising.
I take public transit on the daily, and that’s just about the only place I can’t avoid advertising.
Surely in 30 billion years nothing could possibly happen to the supercooled strontium to throw that off, right?
It’s not easy committing to the change when you have no knowledge of the platform. The status quo is always easier until it no longer is.
Having seen how different Linux is from what it was 20 years ago, it’s way more approachable than it used to be. Most people could adjust pretty quickly, but with so much of the technical bits hidden from sight, the average PC user these days isn’t as tech savvy as they were many years ago, and making the switch can be intimidating.
Which Pi alternatives don’t?
It’s still eugenics, you just used more words to describe it.
Are you sure that’s not an ad/tracker-blocking issue?
I’ve seen this on twitch, for example. Trying to log in with trackers blocked will throw up a dialog saying “your browser is not supported,” but if you allow tracking, it works fine. And once logged in, you can block trackers again and the site continues to work normally.
So the pressure difference between the vehicle and the outside is the opposite. If the vehicle fails, rather than being crushed by the pressure, the occupants explode.
It’s just frustrating because almost all the restaurants that used to have their own delivery drivers now just do Uber or Door Dash
Hue is a city in Vietnam. It’s where bun bo hue comes from.
I just meant you can have an internal fan that’s larger than your heatsink, and a shroud to direct the airflow to it. It requires less vertical space, but more horizontal space.
You can use a larger fan and a shroud to redirect the air flow, similar to how laptops are cooled.
For all the stupid shit that Elon Musk has said and done over the years, at least his quote at the end of this article makes sense:
This is bizarre. They want us to pay them for traffic to their site where they make advertising revenue and we don’t!?
Back in the old days of the internet, you would have to pay the bigger sites to have them link back to your site. Now the government decides that it should be the other way around. It was a stupid law from the start, and now they’re finding out why.
I’ve been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It’s so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they’re easy to swap.
