Once you factor in environmental cost, renewables have been cheaper for a long time.

Everything dropping in price has helped a lot too, of course. Like the article says, solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries have all significantly dropped in price in the last decade.

Yahoo isn’t really dead. It’s still in the top 20 sites, and Yahoo Mail still has 225 million users,

while charging advertisers more

The major online ad networks like Meta and Google don’t actually set a price on most of their ads. It’s an auction system. Advertisers enter a bid for how much they’re willing to pay for their ads. When serving ads, the system displays the ads that have the highest bid for the user’s demographic.

If they just care about one title, why don’t they buy just that title?

Just add a co-authored-by line to your commit message to make it look like the AI wrote it.

If the company is only measuring token usage and not actual output, it’s more like measuring a carpenter’s work based on how many hammers they buy.

It’s not FOSS, but MikroTik’s RouterOS is pretty good. Decent alternative to opnsense. It’s the exact same OS as on their routers and switches.

I definitely agree! It’s a bit weird.

Not defending them; I’m just stating what their app says to do since I’ve used it before whereas other people might not know.

That’s what I thought too. I’m not sure why it’s not the case.

Right. I don’t disagree with you.

Probably a design issue where they couldn’t hook into one of the car’s systems? I’m not sure.

Their current cars are just temporary anyways. Jaguar doesn’t even make them any more - they stopped producing the model that Waymo uses at the end of 2024.

They’re currently partnering with Zeekr to build a brand new one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waymo_Ojai

It has all the information people need, and loads quickly without any extraneous content or scripts. All websites should strive to be this good.

Not defending Waymo, but you’re supposed to open the trunk either using the button on the touch screen in the car, or the button in the app. They tell you do do this in the app. If you open it this way when getting in, it’ll automatically open at your destination too.

As far as I know, the button on the back of the car itself isn’t integrated with their computer system for whatever reason.

Also keep the passenger door open until you’ve got everything. I do the same thing with taxis and Ubers too.

New Mexico said it plans to ask the judge to order Meta to make changes including verifying users’ ages; redesigning its algorithm to promote quality content for minors; and ending autoplay and infinite scrolling for minors.

Just Meta, or all social media platforms that have these same features? The article is unclear as to whether this would become a law or just enforced against Meta.

Most of the stuff “regular people” do on computers these days is either web-based or cross-platform, too. A lot of them are getting the Neo because it’s better than practically every other $600 new laptop in terms of build quality.

Is there a non-paywalled link? Archive.today doesn’t load for me any more.

I get your point, but those are two different values. The first is total value of the company (which you could probably compare to someone’s net worth) while the second is yearly income.

Meta’s annual profit is $60.46 billion and revenue is $200 billion.

you need at least two NICs to properly setup a firewall.

I’m not sure I’d recommend it, but two (or more) VLANs on a single NIC would work fine too. This setup is usually referred to as “router on a stick”

I’m not sure about other OSes or Linux distros, but it’s easy to add multiple VLANs on Debian. You load the 8021q kernel module, then add interfaces suffixed with the VLAN ID (e.g. if your NIC is ens3, you’d add ens3.10 to /etc/network/interfaces for VLAN 10). You’d also need to make sure the switch port is configured to allow VLAN10.

Older NICs lead to regular crashes and/or slow network speeds.

but the ones you’re suggesting (I350-T2 and -T4) are 12 years old.

The US has freedom of speech, so having the government vet every poster is kind of a problem

That’s true, but it could be the platforms doing the vetting rather than the government.

Is it any different to requiring an ID in order to use a service, like what Discord is doing (as required for legal compliance)?

I guess I’m just annoyed at how much bad health advice is on social media.
