Isn't that the point? You have no control over said compute.

Why should stores be in the business of delivery? It's not a common thing.
Re:SBD: We Have a Filesystem at Home on Thursday October 22, 2026 @10:48AM (#50196185)
Why? Why should we give up being critical of things we read?
I think it's a reasonable ask to know: * What is the vulnerability? * Am I affected?

It's very difficult to answer those two questions, through all the marketing and fluff text.

  [Passkeys] should never be exported in clear text
  Overview
  Passkeys should never be allowed to be exported in clear text.

I suppose we have different interpretations of the headline.

The kdbx format is encrypted on-disk. You need a password to decrypt the database.
Re:Passkeys Are Not a Trap on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @11:49AM (#50089583)
KeepassXC at least allows you to export your passkeys should you choose. The people behind passkeys do not like this. https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407

Why is the diagram on the home page all misaligned?

The assumption being made is VSCode is not running on the prod machine.
Re:Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @03:17PM (#49821100)
Who are you referring to? This reads like projection.
GitHub shows 44 contributors. 41 distinct users have merged pull requests.

...so now their work has been reduced to nothing?

Is engaging with the site just reading its content, not liking or retweeting? Sometimes I just want to read a tweet thread that was sent to me without ditractions in a straightforward UI.
Re:ChatGPT Images 2.5 on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @05:41PM (#49617490)
You're building a weak strawman here. The author didn't call you nor your son out specifically.
How do these repos always have so many stars and forks? Roughly 1,800 forks, but only 40ish unique authors? Almost 30,000 stars? Something fishy is going on...
Don't they just use Macs at Microsoft?

Oh dear, why does this website override scrolling behavior?

Are your taxes complicated such that you feel the need to have an LLM do them for you?
Re:SteamdDB Joins Nexus Mods on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @02:01PM (#49539996)
I await your repo tomorrow, then! I'd be happy to use an alternative with all backfilled playercount data and sales history that hasn't been sold out.
Eh, once it's set up the maintenance cost is minimal. Cron'd backups and such and you won't have to worry.
Re:It takes 5 cloud services to hear my doorbell on Sunday August 30, 2026 @11:17PM (#49505207)
It's crazy these things don't have much interopability with third parties.

Is it so difficult to expose a MQTT thing or some other random HTTP server, default off but configurable in some developer settings, that could be used to control the device/read state? It would certainly make the minority that is us power users happy.

Not the same thing.

Recently the physical cards are sold at a machine inside Haneda airport.
Re:Xcancel and Nitter have been taken down on Thursday August 27, 2026 @09:01AM (#49464209)
I disagree. Nitter's big pull was lightweight SSR, this site is not that. Nitter also actually _looks like_ Twitter more than this site!
Re:The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead on Thursday August 27, 2026 @01:04AM (#49459985)
What makes you say that?
Re:Nitter project received cease and desist on Tuesday August 25, 2026 @01:08PM (#49437284)
A lot of instances are showing rate limited too.
Re:Maximizing the value of your Claude Code sessions on Friday August 14, 2026 @05:13PM (#49304666)
I think you're conflating two different things here. I am not aware of any DB optimization articles that say "trust me bro, throw your data, don't build indices, it'll Just Work™!"
Re:Maximizing the value of your Claude Code sessions on Friday August 14, 2026 @03:21PM (#49303430)
Just because a Github issue doesn't have activity doesn't mean it's not an issue anymore.
Re:AI is removing the middle class of software engineering on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @02:29PM (#49276694)
Moore's Law covers transistors, not LLMs.
Re:How Claude marks AI-generated content on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @01:48PM (#49261884)
I don't know, why are you? Who's to say Anthropic wasn't already modifying output in some way for optimization or some other reason? These models are incredibly opaque.
