Re:Apple introduces the new 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M6 on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @02:37PM (#50263748)
I just bought a m1 Air with 8GB as secondary device to the m4 mbp that my employer provides since they dialed up the spyware lately. I should have bought a m4 Air last November but I hope the m1 holdes until the rampocalypse is over.

You might want to have a look at pocketbase. I use it as a backend for my vibecoded "auto-SaaS" Tools.

Depends on the content, for all of these model release marketing sites, I for example only read the comments.

If i would estimate it, I only take a look at 1/4 of the links where i read the comments.

Re:GPT-6 Astra Solves a WWI German Radio Cipher on Saturday September 19, 2026 @02:19PM (#49768904)
Well I haven’t seen modern asymmetric encryption being broken by an LLM. Would be interesting if one should use a a couple million dollar worth of tokens an throw it against Ed25519 to see if those elliptic curves are actually save.
Have you tried https://chatjimmy.ai/ it’s only a demo but it blew my mind. I had the sudden feeling that this is the future.
They also own Komoot and I am anxiously awaiting the enshittification.

As of now my use cases still work and it certainly helped that I bought the lifetime all-world map package.

I assume they won’t ban anyone automatically without a way to object. Using your example, i wouldn’t assume they would enforce the ban if you object and explain your typo and if the corrected citation actually says what you cited. Mistakes like these are explainable a completely hallucinated citation is usually not.

Yes. They record almost every talk. You’ll find the relive (unedited recording of the live stream) on https://media.ccc.de and some time later the edited recording also on media.ccc.de and also on YouTube. There also also live translations to English (and some other languages) for talks in german.
It depends. There is not one Swiss German but multiple subdialects. The language spoke around the Bern region very far away from German while the one from Zürich or Basel is much closer. Since there is no official written from they never really converged to a homogeneous language.
Looks interesting, especially that use case. May I ask which headphone you are using? I have the older openmove from shokzs and voice isn't really understandable while riding a bike.
I had a DVD Burner in my self build PC and discovered a year ago that it wasn’t plugged in and that it must have been like this for years. That was the moment I decided it’s time to remove it.
VW still builds and sells Diesel engines in its Cars. For Volkswagen and Skoda the share of diesel cars was about 30% in Germany. Source (only in German and behind paywall, sorry) https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/468422/umfrag...
Re:Tales from Mainframe Modernization on Thursday May 22, 2025 @01:36AM (#44059058)
That exists. There are multiple vendors that have solutions to automatically transform COBOL code.

Deloitte, for example, has quite a big practice around Mainframe modernization with a toolsuite https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/consulting/topics/appl...

And AWS bought a company with such a toolsuite and offers it now as a service https://aws.amazon.com/de/mainframe-modernization/capabiliti...

Re:When imperfect systems are good: Bluesky's lossy timelines on Wednesday February 19, 2025 @04:07PM (#43107704)
A friend of mine works for a Management Consultancy firm and they have full flex tickets if they miss the 8pm flight home they can take the next one or fly back the next morning. All without additional fees. So I believe business travel is the biggest factor when it comes to missed flights.

Side note: His employer is the biggest client of a major European airline.

I also do this, usually with sprite or fanta and I think its more refreshing this way
Not op but i assume he is referring to change data capture.
Re:New California law requires one-click subscription cancellations on Wednesday September 25, 2024 @03:40AM (#41644754)
not the OP but pretty sure it was sarcasm and choosing ASML and Alibaba specially because they are based in countries that are not know for their lack of regulation.
