Actually....... if your computer doesn't boot, it's 100% secure, so #crowdstrike did do its job in the end

Antivirus software is a "good" backdoor that is meant to protect you from "bad" backdoors. When it works as intended, anyway.

If you build a multi-processor system with Intel Atoms, would that be an Intel Molecule?

How exactly does a car with an Ontario, Canada license plate end up in St Petersburg of all places

So that's interesting. It never occurred to me that different people think of time in different ways. I'm the opposite โ€” I think of time in numbers. It takes me extra effort to read an analog clock because I have to pay attention and interpolate to end up with the hour and minute as numbers that would only then make sense to me. So I've always found an analog clock to be a very strange and inefficient way to display time.

It's about time we start introducing GenZ to our millennial culture. The first step should be a mobile video editor app that produces videos indistinguishable from Windows XP Movie Maker.

:ohno: anton

@grishka id rather wait til the trend of old digital cameras evolves, and they're gonna use big noisy beige boxes with crt monitors and Windows ME on them to get the real experience.

So I tried Smithereen in Ladybird. It's impressive for a browser made from scratch but of course my SVG hackery breaks it.

So I was researching how one calls an underground rail system in a city in English.

It turns out it depends on which city it is. The consensus seems to be that anything outside of the US and UK is a "metro". But ours in Saint Petersburg has a bit of an identity crisis. It does call itself that on its English website, but I've also seen signs that say "subway entrance".

Also I'm still not sure what one calls the German "U-Bahn"s. English as a foreign language is weird sometimes.

@grishka it's the Buffalo Metro here ๐Ÿ˜‚ (USA)

Poolitzer

@grishka U-Bahn is short for Untergrund, which means underground. So the common translation is the underground (train), or U-train.

Or just accept it as its own word and go with U-Bahn, I think that's what I would do if I would talk to someone in English about how I got there.

Gregory

It's like the sign and the website were translated by different people having different opinions on this stuff

on the vision pro it makes .3DS_Store files

Wwwwwwait, so they DIDN'T announce USB-C input devices for Macs? All they did announce was some software bullshit no one asked for?

More iMessage features for all those 3 people in the entire world who use iMessage.

The only useful addition to iMessage would be RCS support. Sometimes I have to text people, mostly delivery agents, who don't have WhatsApp/Telegram.

Imagine a world where major operating systems don't need to be updated every time our planet completes a lap around its star.

Once AI will be skilled enough to create an ideal vulnerability-free OS, this might happen.
