As someone who owns several RISC-V devices the primary thing preventing usable (low end) RISC-V laptops is the GPUs. Most RISC-V silicon has Imagination GPUs, and the current state of the drivers there is "proprietary drivers stuck on an old LTS kernel."

If someone makes an RVA23 compliant chip with open mainstreamable drivers and a BXS-4-64 GPU (or, better yet, somehow manages to license a GPU from Intel or AMD for it), that'll be a cash cow.

I don't care if they're selling computers to fascist psychos.

I do care that they're using their soapbox to promote those fascist psychos.

This is essentially Google moving to do what I always thought was Apple's malicious compliance on the DMA, but which European courts seem to have accepted as just fine. I'm pretty miffed at Google for sinking to Apple's level on this.

I start sending fediverse links containing memes etc. and eventually they sign up on one of the sites.

Honestly? Get a large monitor and a sound bar.

If I were in the market for a new monitor and I could get an 8k monitor for under $1000 I'd consider it, but right now if one of my monitors broke I'd just be getting another 4k to replace it. The price isn't worth it for me to have high DPI.

For TV my only justification for my 4k TV is that it was free.

Most sources are worse than Wikipedia.

I initially read that as "stop using VPNs to watch child porn, ministers told" and was expecting a very different article.

Integer storage in spreadsheets... There are a ridiculous number of ways to store any integer, and I don't just mean because you could theoretically store 1 and 00000001 and they'd be interpreted as the same thing.

Given that part of my job is evaluating applicants' ability to do the job, and given that LLMs are very good at answering the sort of questions many people ask in interviews, AI is making my job significantly harder.

If someone could make a prompt that actually made an LLM write good code, I wouldn't have nearly as much of an issue.
