@hackaday Self to end purchases of Sony products in 2028.

@fribbledom Just use Byobu or tmux and whatever editor. :D

@fribbledom I guess I use Tiktok vim, even though I hate TikTok. Helix is just a lot faster than vim once I got used to it.

Surprised no mention of pico, since that's what nano is cloning.

@hackaday Honestly, given how hard it was to find a good working flip phone the last time I looked, I welcome them releasing a new one. The price, eh, it's a tad bit high since I can buy a GrapheneOS capable phone for the same price, but it will also be the first official Sailfish phone available in the US. The Sailfish licenses for Sony phones were disallowed to US users.

@andybaio Not the first time I've seen AI just wholesale set up camp on someone else's ideas, after RH Junior died, someone grabbed his domain and made half-conceived AI versions of all his comics.

@union Supplied partially by rail, but rails do not run everywhere, Their trucks are getting stomped whenever they unload supplies from the rail then try to take them to the troops. They no longer have rail bridges to Crimea in the north, and because of damage to the Kerch bridge and the weight restrictions caused by such, they've been bringing in most of the supplies on the land bridge instead. They aren't allowing fuel trucks on the Kerch bridge because of the fear that they might have another sabotaged fuel truck take it the rest of the way out.

@union I suppose they don't actually need gasoline to move equipment then. Then them blowing up all of those gasoline tankers won't have any effect at all...

@union At this point, Ukraine doesn't need much help from Europe, they're making far more useful weapons for the current conflict domestically. They've managed to basically shut down all of Russia's logistics in the south and they'll probably get pushed back to just the Luhansk/Donetsk within a reasonable amount of time. The weapons doing the deepest strikes in Russia are all home-built, as far as I know they aren't using any foreign weapons for those strikes.

@zaitcev Don't forget Chinese.

I think it's more that using weapons like this is extremely risky because there's a chance of them going out of control, but if your opponent is using swarm tactics, they may be unavoidable.

@fribbledom Sadly, the majority of corporate code is written at about the same level.

@H_A_Copington @deprecated_ii When people say the cloud is just someone else's computer, it's someone else's computer sitting in a Data center.

@cubeofcheese A bigger question would be, why is it the only one you're approved to use? I can think of a few equally reputable ones.

@zaitcev There's one where I live too.

@union At this point I think Millennials are getting towards the top end of military age. This is for the next gen below them.

AI can't replace good, experienced open source coders, or even experienced corpo coders, but what it's good at is doing the work of really green, novice corpo coders. Of course, those experienced corpo coders come from somewhere, and that is long years of experience as a green novice corporate coder under experienced coders. AI can't learn in the same way that people can, it resets for each project because it gathers errors/noise instead of experience. They're cutting off their future for a buck

@deprecated_ii @brimshae Definitely a mistake that Russia makes with radar, they think that range is the most important thing, but if your track resolution is crap at 3000 miles, all it really serves as is an early warning for the largest of weapons. More modern US radars focus on track resolution so they can put a warhead in the path with the greatest accuracy, they only need to see far enough out to get the warhead up to altitude before the target gets close.

@hackaday That means the first home console in the US from Nintendo was simply called the "entertainment system"

The state of AM5 motherboard is a bit disappointing. The only brand that seems to have 8x8x with an extra 4x card on the chipset now doesn't support ECC...

I may have to start looking into boards without 8x8x splitting on the first two PCIe ports, and instead buy one of those 8-nvme 16x cards with an active hub. Especially since I'm already on a PCIe x4 10gbe card, so I don't have to worry about the integrated network being any good.

@developing_agent @icm I used to run desqview on a 486, running a BBS on the system while I also ran some text-based utilities like GoldEd and such. I know of people who ran up to 4 lines on a single dos system with desqview.
