That's true, but I also think there is a stark difference between a low quality 'off the record' recording and standing at the official podium taking questions from vetted journalists to a live feed on every news network.

Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention has known he is, at best, an odious man-child for years. But a lot of people actively try to avoid paying attention because they've been trained that it's "just politics" instead of the infrastructure that impacts every aspect of their lives.

I believe you're talking about the Steam Link. Which if you had ethernet running everywhere worked pretty good.

The old Steam Machine branding was more a set of guidelines / branded manufacturer specs for mini-PCs. Not many actually came out and yeah it got shut down pretty quickly. Though it was the origin of Steam OS / Big Picture Mode and what became Proton.

That would be amazing, but given how speculative the Framework and other RISC projects are I feel like that would be a massive headline for Valve.

Fwiw, SearXNG is using a very similar engine to Kagi and you can host it yourself and tweak it if desired. There are also a bunch of public instances if you prefer that route.

Every operation your computer does. From displaying images on a screen to securely connecting to your bank.

It's an interesting advancement and it will be neat if something comes of it down the line. The chances of it having a meaningful product in the next decade is close to zero.

One of the more telling aspects of who ICE is targeting.

Using 18650 batteries is nice. One of the few things I don't like about the Eufy.

Your application to work at Microsoft has been accepted.

Sure. Now organize updating the last 30 years of hardware and software for compatability. Or just keep using the slightly unintuitive thing.

You're conflating two different definitions of "standard". URLs are more human readable than IPs, but changing IPs into URLs would cost decades of manpower and break everything for basically no benefit either.

Eh. :P

I mean sure it's kind of a relic from the 90s, but so is the save icon. If you change it you're breaking backwards compatibility with everything tangentially related to digital cameras prior to . A 'photos' folder might be more intuitive but then you run into the issue of "what about my language's folder" instead of just everyone worldwide using DCIM.

Sometimes its better long term for people to learn about a standard instead of for the standard to be more intuitive to newcomers. Sure you could just make a new standard but that's its own problem.

It's a DCF thing, not a Windows thing. A bunch of Japanese companies collaborated on a spec in the 90s so most digital cameras would work vaguely the same as far as file storage went and it's still the standard because it's a naming convention and there's not really a reason to change it.
