So they’re fine apart from the people doing the work, and the people directing that work?

It’s a bit clickbaity to say Intel “lost” the PlayStation business when they didn’t have it to begin with.

Sony has been using AMD CPUs for a couple generations of PlayStation now. Moving over to Intel would have screwed up backward-compatibility, adding a ton of work and striking a huge blow to efficiency if anything were going to be backward-compatible down the line and also thrown that monkey wrench into the works of any developers publishing for both generations during the switchover. The article touches on this a little bit.

Intel would have needed to present some magically miraculously sweet deal for Sony to even consider switching, and especially when Intel is doing generally crappy I can’t see that being an easy thing for them to figure out.

I accidentally switched to Neopets, now I have to take care of a stupid cartoon bird thing.

It is impossible for my turnip soup business to make money if you enforce laws that make it illegal for me to steal turnips.

Paying for turnips is not realistic.

You bureaucrats don’t understand food.

Elon Musk wants to do a great many things he can go cram up his butt and twist hard.

Good for them, I love being able to play Windows games on Linux.

This person doesn’t have the source because it’s not his software, he’s just put together a big abandonware package of it. Apparently whoever actually does own Wordstar at this point is its own mystery.

They did get to the end of that story, right?

Dude… you’re getting “or else.”

The ugly AI-generated illustration of the “gorgle search leabk” does not add anything of value to this article.

Good.

The real question is, how many pee bottles did they force Dave Grohl to fill in order to make his song quota in time?

Statement! One-love.

Thank you! This is the link OP should have posted.

From the article:

Quantum dots are already moving in the premium display category, particularly through QD-OLED TVs and monitors. The next step could be QDEL, short for “quantum dot electroluminescent,” also known as NanoLED, screens.

You know what people tend to forget?

Shareholders = Consumers of the product too

I wonder how many of the people getting rich in the tobacco industry are smokers.

According to the evidence, the defendant clearly committed the crime with all 17 of his fingers. His lack of remorse is obvious by the fact that he’s clearly smiling wider than his own face.

Found Cid from the next Final Fantasy.

And of course the creep who wants to cut down on the evidence-gathering is named “Tape.”

Firefox on Android is fine, except they insist upon disabling about:config on the main branch of the browser for some damn stupid reason. You have to use a nightly or beta build to be trusted with your own config that much.

Personally, I ended up switching to the Fennec fork over this.

My favorite thing about widely-available blue LEDs was the effect on TV scifi.

Watch the Star Trek shows made in the 1980s and 1990s and the tricorders, alien gadgets, and other props were always twinkling with red, yellow, and green LEDs to look futuristic. A generation later and every single hand prop on 2000s Doctor Who, Torchwood, etc. glowed and twinkled blue because the LEDs had just become cheap enough for prop makers, but weren’t yet widespread in day-to-day life so the viewers were seeing something strange and unusual.

Now every color of LED imaginable is just common and whatever, but for a good stretch of time glowy blue became the standard “scifi” color just because that particular tech happened to turn up at that particular time.

Here’s the scientific study being reported on.

Here’s a whole list of media coverage of the study, including some news websites that aren’t trash.

I look forward to the movie in which Shrek has eight fingers on one hand and four on the other, two completely different and incompatible ears, and three rows of teeth while the title screen says “SHROOEOORSHWZECL”

This motherfucker mailed me the same blu-ray box set smashed to shards twice in a row before he finally put the third copy into some goddamn bubble wrap, and he wants me to trust his space station with my life!?

Gracie does.

To put it another way, a shitty business model on their part does not constitute an obligation on yours.

This gadget was the plot macguffin of the G.I. Joe movie from 1987.

The “Important Information to Share with Chinese Government” folder on my own drive just contains my angry reviews of cheap crap from Amazon that didn’t work as advertised.

I look forward to trusting my medical well-being to algorithms which can be completely fucked by the idea that Kenya starts with the letter K.

This is Allen’s AI-generated artwork, which we can publish without asking him because, as the article notes, it’s not eligible for copyright protections.

Yep, while you may think that you have a heart of gold or perhaps stone, your heart may actually have microplastics in it. And in this case, life in plastic is not fantastic, regardless of what the Barbie song by Aqua says.

After all, “Please fill my body with pieces of plastic” is probably not what you often say.

Yes, they used freaking laser beams to detect the presence of microplastics

They also found something bloody awful: nine types of microplastics in patients’ blood samples

Even things that may not obviously seem to have plastic, like various types of clothes, can have lots o’ plastic in them

But all of this may just be the tip of the plasticberg.

In fact, you may be like a walking credit card with the amount of plastic that you already have in you.

The issue is important and the data is scary, but this article reads like the work of a ten-year-old class clown giving an oral report during a sugar high.
