Yes, but at that point, they had not even tried that. Here and now, millions over millions have been wasted and no tangible advance has been made.

Learn physics, kid. Maybe learn math first.

Like fusion power, just 20-50 years away.

Again, it has been shown that a quantum computer is better than a normal computer in solving worthless quantum benchmarks. Hurray.

I still wait for any quantum computer solving a real problem like those normal computers solve every day.

It is actually quite easy: “Black” print does not mean that 100% of all pixels are actually set. Print pixels are never perfect squares, so even if the printer only prints half of the dots, the print is still dark enough. If not, it could print 70% or 80%, but lets stick to 50% for ease of argument.

So instead of

XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX

it would print

X X X X
 X X X X
X X X X

For you, it would still be a “roughly black” spot (keep in mind these 8x3 pixel are 0.032mm wide and 0.012mm high on good laser printer).

Would you notice if the pattern was slightly different, like

X X X X
 X XX  X
X X X X

Make a bonanza of those small changes nobody can see, and you can hide thosands of bytes of data in those patterns on any printed page.

There is something similar for B&W laser printing. Text is never 100% black, but rastered. You can digitally hide a whole lot of information in microraster on a page of printed text.

Good that we did not buy a Brother printer.

You would be amazed how many short forms are used in sailing, sometimes crippled to letter salad with apostrophes. Fo’c’sle is not alone, by far.

Great times. And new rules every year!

Where did they source what they fed into the AI? If it was American (social) media, this does not come as a surprize. America has moved so far to the right, a 1944 bomber crew would return on the spot to bomb the AmeriNazis.

Well, using vi without being forced at gunpoint.

And before you accuse me of being an Emacs fanatic - nope, they exist on the same level of masochism.

Well, “vi is love” is something I always see as “masochism is related to sex”.

Tell IT and your boss how your productivity tanked since edge disabled uBlock.

No docker. Plain executable.

As if that would stop them. The problems are at this side, it is the complete ignorance and disregard of operational security in the automotive industry.

You need this for your family, and not hundreds of people? No crazy, outlandish usage requirements?

Then basically any PC will do.

I do regularly have issues with radicale, for years now. One is that it does not work properly after boot. I have to SSH in, kill the radicale process, and restart it.

That someone can just make off with that amount of digital “currency” sure inspires trust in that system, so the $2800 price tag might be a bit optimistic.

The money is not gone, is just that someone else has it.

What the heck are you self-hosting that anything beyond 64G is even taken into account?
