What’s the total human population again, 8 billion?

Useless drama in the article.
Yeah, cheap cable and cheap charger won’t provide 35 watts of power. However that cheap 24-pin Type-C cable costs the same as 5-pin Micro-USB cable did in 2010, and you can use your old Type-A charger with it, so you’ll getting your 5 volts 2 amperes everywhere, and did I mention that the connector is reversible?

mcedit, because I’m not nerdy enough for vim.

Because you won’t determine the type of NAT during hole punching. This requires the client sending two UDP packets to two different IP addresses, then comparing their source addresses on the server.

Normally yes, you can just assume that two clients you are trying to connect both have port restricted cone NAT, and run the hole punching algorithm, and if the connection fails after ten seconds, show message to the users ‘Error 418: your router is a teapot’.

The one use case is running STUN/TURN server for NAT hole punching, that requires two separate servers, or one server with two IP addresses. You will only need that to run masterserver for games that support hole punching, or to run VoIP telephony / teleconference server.

Another use case is reliability, when your server is connected to several network providers, it will keep working if one of them has an outage, and will naturally have a different IP address for each network link. But your VPS does not have several network links, otherwise they would advertize that in bold red letters.

How long until we get self-insert AI porn?

It flies, so I don’t get the joke. I’m an embedded developer BTW.

It depends on how rich you are. CEOs have their own, reduced edition of the law.

The injustice

Some marketing survey shown that insignificant amount of users would use desktop mode, so they bought cheaper USB electronics for their next phone, that’s all. Never mind that Samsung adverises DeX so Galaxy users ar least know there is a desktop mode in their phone.

Robotized armies are already here, and they look nothing like steel skeleton humanoid Terminators, they are more like cheapest four propeller drones with an anti-tank mine strapped with zip ties, naked wires with no cover, because it’s single use.

Yes, Android is a (extremely heavily forked) Linux distribution.

Well ackshually Android kernel nowadays is built from an upstream unmolested Linux kernel sources, straight from Torvalds’ git repository.

And the rest is just the init system, which is not systemd so it’s better by definition even though it’s written in Java, and a display server written in Java, because there was no Wayland when Android development started.

We can control AI just fine. We cannot control corporations, who use sloppy AI for important decisions. A few court cases for unfair hiring practices will solve the problem rather quickly, it won’t be AI who will get fined, it will be CEO.

Yeah, you could probably achieve 15% cooling efficiency with regular old nitrogen or methane instead of fluorocarbons.

std::vector<bool> fits eight booleans into one byte.

Yup, because they are annoying, not because they do not work.

Pretty much every news site asks you to enable browser notifications.

No app needed. Tell me if it works on your phone.

Patreon app is literally their website. What does it do that the website does not? Notifications? Offline images? All of these can be done in your mobile browser.

If you want deskktop version of Firefox or Chromium on your phone, you can get them using Termux. But yeah they will be slow.
