  • Some legal software only runs on Windows, including some of the proprietary video software used by courts and police departments. There’s a ton of reason they should move towards interoperability in the legal system, but a lot of this software is contract-bound and carries lofty promises of security and privacy.

    That being said, I would try to run those on Wine if it’s possible.

  • Would life be significantly different if no light were detectable when closing our eyes?

  • I would say most things would not be much different, but circadian rhythm is probably the most relevant part. If your eyes cannot sense sunlight in the morning, your sleep will no longer be affected by daytime hours. Edit: your skin can also sense changes in light, it could potentially also detect sunlight in the morning if exposure is strong enough. Thanks @Repelle for the insight!

    Our mind doesn’t really process the time we blink, whether light comes through or not. If we had it happen our entire life, I’m sure we’d probably adapt quickly to having a complete blackout when closing our eyes.

  • 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests

  • We removed the headphone jack for your benefit.

    We kept the lightning cable for your benefit.

    We didn’t increase the base model’s memory for your benefit.

  • That’s precisely correct. Even if you tested against a 16GB non-Mac machine in that price point ($1799), you would probably see similar results. This is something Apple has been trying to convince people against for decades and at one point they may have been at least somewhat correct.

  • And at this point the cost difference couldn’t possibly be so stark that they have to make it a great leap in price. I think they offer these 8GB models for non power-users. People doing spreadsheets and presentations all day, but honestly even then 8GB of memory just seems like they’re cheaping out.

  • system freezes when waking up from suspend

  • I have the opposite problem on Windows, my computer stops running whenever it goes to sleep. I think it’s Nvidia-related, but I’m not entirely sure how to track it down. The errors I get are not very helpful.

  • I’m not sure if any of this information is useful, code-server doesn’t support installing the Remote-SSH extension. There are alternative methods to connect to environments, I personally think Remote-SSH is ideal.

  • GM's Cruise is recalling 950 robotaxis after pedestrian collision

    Jump

  • I don’t think my problem is that self-driving cars are better or worse drivers, I think I have an issue with the fact that they are alpha-testing their product on streets that they may not be ready for. In the event of a collision, the car is going to drag someone around? That’s a pretty risky edge case to shrug off.

    Also notable is that they are hiring for a Chief Safety Officer now.

  • [FFVII] The Marvels Director Used Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children as a Reference When Pitching

  • Omegle shuts down--founder cites "stress and expense of this fight – coupled with the existing stress and expense of operating Omegle, and fighting its misuse"

    Jump

  • Sounds like regulators or lawmakers, potentially the people who are communicating with Omegle about child safety on the platform are also saying Omegle needs to change to fit the needs of new legal systems. EU and the UK come to mind, but also the so-called “Kids Online Safety Act” in the US, which is an absolute joke when there are so many other protections lawmakers should be codifying. Instead, they hijack a supposed child safety act to prevent significant and vital knowledge from being shared online. More details in this Verge article.

  • Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages

  • Yeah, Federal law is pretty lax on any privacy protections. You would think that wiretapping laws would carry over into digital communications such as cellular usage, but I guess that doesn’t make much sense to the legal experts that run this country.

  • This is such an awesome question! I never gave it much thought but the things we focus on, or that to which we give attention, has some amount of value in our minds. By giving it value, we increase its importance. While it may be an inanimate or abstract object or concept that has received our focus, by increasing its importance it could have lasting effects on the future relevance of that particular object or concept.
