I was going to ask "Where on Android", an app like Binary Eye can generate a QR code with the actual data, but Google's Quick Share indeed uploaded the data and generated a download URL.

Fucking enshittification...

Sounds like they're encroaching on Tesla's expertise, then!

It's always funny to me how it feels like no one applies critical thinking when it's their "team" making the argument. By "no one" I mean "no one Republican".

If Trump lost by 200000 votes and claimed "There were 210000 illegal votes!", wouldn't it be easy to present at least one? But they'd scrape the bottom of the barrel of "evidence" in court for one count of fraud...

And Donnie, if you knew the exact number (which is oddly the number you lost by, plus a little bit), doesn't that mean you tallied all the fraudulent votes, well, where's the list then?

What a punishment, free up your days to spend your billions...

Nowadays, a QR code on one phone, and camera on the other can accomplish data transfer.

Huh, now I remember a 90's or early 00's watch that has data, and the way to upload data onto it was by running a special Windows program that would flicker an area of the screen black and white. You'd point the face of your watch to it and the flickering had data encoded onto it.

Since it's 2026, googling brings me nothing... had to ask Gemini: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCHHzw4s5W4

So Smithsonian magazine has quotes from the bible now... is it because of the ethno-religious fascists (like the Taliban, abusing religion for dictatorship) running the country?

I always compare it to satnav: how many people bother checking maps and figuring out the route to go anywhere nowadays, just punch it into your satnav and hit "Go!". It'll get you there, but when there are unexpected things some people do panic, or even turn into roads that are actually rivers, etc.

Or course "everyone you know" might be doing something different, but AI is offering the same delegation possibilities for critical thinking. Do you think there won't be people who'll do the equivalent of driving into the river when using AI?

Talking about the city population. Although more relevant would be the whole capital city area, which I see has about 250k people.

I guess the 20% dive is due to the Trump-Netanyahu oil inflation.

It seems worrying to rely on tourism, places like Bali or Maldives crippled to a halt during Covid, and even Visit Norway is considering the environmental impact of its work. But hey, money!

I wonder why Iceland thinks they still need to promote their tourism, they get tons of them already. I guess it's because of capitalism, and economic competition.

I was there 2 years ago (and previously in 2019). I had a realization that maybe 80% of the car traffic are tourists (number pulled out of a volcanic vent) going from one tourist spot to the next. I realized this while sitting in a crossover SUV with 4 empty seats.

The roads into Reykjavik have traffic jams now, probably an oddity for a place of 140k.

Dear Netflix, my startup is Uber but for carrier pigeons. Carrying SD cards! With AI-optimized routing because I gotta mention AI somewhere...

Political article, political comment:

Hah, nice unexpected result for Trump (and his corrupt genocide-wreaking idiot-whisperer Netanyahu) despite their chaotic action: drop bombs on Iran, oil crisis, oil price spike, everything gets more expensive because we all still use diesel to transport products, cost of living protests get co-opted by the right-wing populists to topple "liberal" governments.

Oh wait, we're talking about France and Germany; they're stooge-o-cracies themselves, trying to soothe the right to not go full Nazi, but the right spectrum would rather have the full deal, and the left hate them for it.

With drive letters, a neat functionality in DOS/Windows command prompts (don't ask me about Powershell) is that each letter can have its own "current directory".

So if you have ffmpeg.exe in C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\bin, and you have some source files in D:\SourceVideos, and you want to process them in ffmpeg and output them to E:\Output you can do:

C: (to navigate to the C: drive)

cd "C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\bin"

E: (to navigate to the E:\ drive)

cd D:\SourceVideos (you remain in E:\, but the "current directory" for D: has been changed).

cd Output (to enter E:\Output)

You can now do C:ffmpeg.exe -i D:scene1.mp4 output-scene1.mp4

and Windows accesses the files in the "current" directory on each drive letter.

I've used a Firefox extension which purpose was SQLite viewing/editing. I guess it's half "runs in the browser" and half "it still needs to be installed".

Number 1 feature: live cursors. Yeah, it makes people go wow, but I hope it can be switched off. Nothing less useful than having random movement distracting people from whatever I'm presenting...

Ah, I feel a kinship.. in 2007 I got an iPhone, followed the guide to install the homebrew SDK on Linux, and managed to get it to work to create iPhone apps. At first they'd run on jailbroken phones (there was a command to "sign" them), later I installed a Hackintosh and XCode and even got the Apple Dev program subscription and sold one app on their store.

Yeah, what a weird "conclusion".

If I was walking my dog, let it off the leash, and it ran into the middle of the road, causing a bus to brake and some people to be hurt, will I get into trouble for negligence?

Looks like the company will get into some shit for the same issue.

I was incredulous, I wondered what sort of LoC does book rankings like it's Buzzfeed, I thought "Maybe it's the LoC after a Trump-infestation or DOGE", but (1):

> In 1991 the Book of the Month Club and Library of Congress asked readers to name the most influential book in their lives: Atlas Shrugged came in second only to the Bible.

The fact that you equate a survey result (who knows who heard of the survey, or if there was a campaign to skew the results) to the LoC giving it a rating, and "that's why I read it", and you think this is a good rebuttal, reveals to me a lot about you.

I can, but in this instance I don't care to fulfill your wishes. If you can't figure out the difference, you're on your own.

Ben Winding, purveyor of slop... Sorry for calling you a moron when apparently you're just lazy.

And "thanks" for wasting everyone's time with some half-assed "production".

I wonder if the excess energy could be used to do things like run carbon capture (although I've read that this is very much a pipe dream, that it'll take several magnitudes more carbon capture facilities to counter what we're currently producing).

In a very tiny Canary Island, their battery is many many tonnes of water pumped uphill when they have windpower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXhAj5BHdfM

Fuck me, OP's a moron... the VM's "monitor" is set to 1024x768.

The output canvas has width="1024" height="768", but the CSS:

#screen_container canvas, #screen_container > div {

  width: 100% !important; 

  height: 100% !important;

  display: block;

}

overwrites it, making everything be upscaled...

It would look fine upscaled if only no one added the CSS rule "image-rendering: pixelated"

OP wrote: "difficult task"...

It's just a crappy render of a Windows VM's display, in all it's upscaled pixelated glory, it's not even doing anything webby like a Javascript engine that decodes whatever database Encarta used and rendered the data in crisp HTML.

If they had asked AI to do all the above, I'd be more impressed than this (I'm guessing) human-made slop...

I love the future, you can now show webpages on your text editor which is built on top of a web browser rendering engine...

This AI-written page seems to be typical of LLM: Sentences are 4 to 5 words long, and the reader have to fill in the details.

Did someone make 1x1x1 wooden cubes and remade Switzerland? Oh no, the tiny tiny text above the gigantic title says "Minecraft".

"Exactly as tall and as steep". How is a mountain that exists in a video game exactly as tall and steep as the real one?

Then there's an embedded map that is an attempt to convey information that I still can't figure out what.

How to run it? Aha, download Prism Launcher (not a clickable link), import the zip... and oh, you need to have purchased Minecraft too!

What an exercise in convolution...

I watched a colleague's kid play a game on his iPhone. It was on airplane mode. But every so often a window would pop up trying to show an ad, and the kid would hand it to his dad, asking dad to "fix" it.

A pre-millennial computing experience would have the benefit of not having that sort of bullshit. For the patience-building experience it could be real floppies, but putting the games in an emulator is also an option. I guess Windows 11's "Install Copilot Edge OneDrive 365? [Yes/Maybe later]" popups means you'll have to go Linux...

There's some Swiss dudes claiming they're going to make the C**Truck road legal in the EU: https://werk-lab.ch/en/cybertruck . Although I'm not sure if it's just crowdsourced moneygrab or legit.

In any case the website says the steps "Familiarization with all legal requirements that apply in Switzerland and the EU for approval" and "Consultations with the Road Traffic Office and test centers to define the testing requirements".

I'm guessing the familiarization and consultation steps would've revealed to them that "Yeah, nah, this isn't going to happen..."

But flying cars!

They should each get a jar of fumes from the jet exhaust of those "flying cars". This memorabilia will be worth a fortune!

As a bonus, one of the jars contains actual Musk fart. It could be the one you bought!

Ah yeah, the serious serious crime of having stickers on busses...

Just as bad as storming the capitol!

What do you call it when the only one believing the lie is the liar himself... Getting high of one's supply?

If Europeans want AC, they can buy one. The speed of climate change is such that the 50k dead probably have thought they didn't need one and can cope with the "few days" of heat. (or can't afford one, but that's not a uniquely European problem (1)). In 2026 it was more than a "few days".
