Factorio, it’s fun from the first minute but you’ll still be learning new things after 1000 hours.

Give all of those things a try. None of them are “wrong”. Experiment and see what works best with the type of people you want to spend time with. Just don’t get discouraged if your success rate is low (some people just won’t be interested) and respect people’s decisions if they choose to ignore you.

Since it sounds like you are just getting into this, it may be helpful to know that Nintendo has confirmed that there will be a 2nd version of the device and it is likely to have full backwards compatibility (meaning it will play all of the games from version 1).

The release dates for this device are likely to be announced soon.

So if you can wait, you could either get the newest version or you could get the current version for a big discount.

The hassle is that I have to have a second device to login with, and I have to keep that device with me and functioning at all times.

Obvious answer is of course my phone, but I’ve had a few situations where I needed to access an account on a new system and didn’t have a 2nd device available.

Thank you, that was a really helpful explanation that I haven’t seen elsewhere. It helps a lot and I think I now understand the difference between passwords and passkeys.

I still don’t like the hassle inherent in passkeys, but at least I understand it now.

Are sufficiently long passwords susceptible to brute force attacks?

Don’t passkeys get that feature by just being longer?

I have a question that is kind of off topic. If I use a password manager and generally use randomized secure passwords, do passkeys offer any additional security?

By practicing good password behavior, I have struggled to see how the benefits of passkeys out weigh the hassles.

It was rather difficult to understand the point of this essay. It doesn’t state its thesis until about the middle. The first half is a philosophical review of automation games, taking a detour to explain what the word automation could mean (why?) to eventually arrive at the conclusion that tech bros (incorrectly associating them with Silicon Valley, which is focused on hardware, not software) are bad. The reasoning for which seems to be largely an opinion stated as fact with the supporting evidence being that these games are unrealistic.

I found it difficult to engage with these ideas because the linkage between them is so incredibly stretched that it is hard to see the connection at all.

I think youtube makes itself terrible if you don’t have premium. I have the problems you describe and others on both my desktop with FF or my chromebook with chrome.

Landlines are dead, but I recently installed a VoIP phone because cell service at my house isn’t great.

It is nice being able make calls reliabily now and the kids have a way to call 911 too.

They don’t exactly fail the quality checks, they get binned into a lower grade. It’s a common practice in many industries when reworking isn’t possible or financially viable.

It isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. Consumers can save some money when they don’t need top performance, the company gets some revenue, and the products don’t go into a landfill right away.

Article states the use of an electron beam to enable this. So not currently scalable, but still a seemingly significant result.

I get that, but is this on-die? It says that it is modular, so I interpreted that to mean that it was not on-die.

I get that this was primarily created to benefit laptops, but would it provide any advantage for desktops?

While text based messages on usenet may be dieing, the file sharing is still quite popular. My radar and sonar still pick up plenty of signals.

For farming, I’ll assume you’ve tried Stardew, but if not that’s the obvious answer.

There’s a new one out called Vexland which might interest you. I haven’t tried it.

Maybe not in the field of computer science, but silicon valley is home to a lot of hardware companies that are doing great research every year. Intel, Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA-tencor, etc. That’s just in semiconductors. There’s also a ton of battery research in the area. Lots of consumer electronics too, particularly from Apple (I don’t like their products, but they have been the driving force behind advancements which have helped other fields, such as O2 blood sensors and hearing aids), but there are many others as well.

Silicon valley is not just software. Maybe by market cap it is, but in terms of hours of labor I don’t think software wins.

Agreed, subscriptions only make sense when there is an on-going service, like on-star (no idea if it is worth anything).

So if the digital assistant and driver assistance programs where getting service updates, then this would make sense. However, I’d say that driver assistance really shouldn’t need a lot of updates if it was truly ready for the road.

I thought the point of captchas was to train AI models?

So does this mean all that work is finally paying off? This is a success right?

That’s already built in. If you answer too quickly or too accurately (with the pictures at least), it will give you another one. Best way to beat this is to select an incorrect answer and then deselect it before submitting
