Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won’t let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.
What’s next? Femtofunctions
How about, you give me AI ‘enhancement’ and more ads and I’ll give you my solemn word to never use your browser again? Deal?

Totally valid, I love Apple trackpads, makes PC laptop trackpads pale in comparison
Having used Apple computers since the Apple II+, I think I’m allowed to say that the vast majority of Apple’s mouse designs have been utter trash. The one that I might give a pass to is the ADB Mouse 2. I’m not expecting Apple to change the habit of a lifetime by designing a comfortable mouse.
I’d forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation
About how far does this leave us from a usable quantum processor? How far from all current cryptographic algorithms being junk?
That may well be the thing I’m looking for, thanks for the pointer!
You don’t understand because I didn’t state why 😅 I have enough time and energy to set up and manage containerised applications. 20 years ago I might have had the drive to set up a local dev version, manage the dependencies and set up local init scripts, but not anymore.
KDE Connect is a great idea, thanks!
BTRFS, wasn’t that Dennis Rader 🤔
Disclaimer: I have nothing more than a secondary education level of physics and a keen interest in physics in general.
It’s common scientific belief that all physical forces are backed up by a field, for example, magnetism by the electromagnetic field, gravity by a gravity field. It would follow that the strong and weak nuclear forces also have corresponding fields.
For a disruptor to work as seen in fiction, you’d probably be looking to disrupt the weak nuclear force, and would need a mechanism to locally change the properties of the corresponding weak nuclear field.
I don’t know if there is such a mechanism available to us currently. Hopefully someone else has a definitive answer.
Hello Boris! Immaculate lounging you’re doing there.
