It keeps on autocorrecting words to some totally irrelevant wrong word, much more often than it used to. Previously it would just fix the occasional spelling mistake and ignore most capitalized words. Now it regularly changes proper names to other random words, replaces it’s with its or your for you’re (or the other way round) but it’s almost always wrong even though I typed it correctly. I’ll go back and try to fix it, only to find it’s chosen some other random words to use instead of what I actually typed. It replaces correct words with incorrect words now way more often than it actually helps my spelling.

They should have built a Lego pyramid, wouldn’t have needed the cables.

Lol, good luck “accurately” mapping our irregular oblate spheroid on to a globe (i.e. a regular sphere). You’re correct that map projections inherently make concessions and introduce inaccuracies. But a globe would just require a different kind of projection in this context. And that projection hides more subtle inaccuracies. Globes are not an answer to the problem of map projection distortion.

Ironic, given that you are ignoring the historical context of this photo to make a weak point. When a tree falls, it contributes back to the ecosystem throughout its death and decay. The land wasn’t needed for anything beyond the standard manifest destiny development of the hotel. These trees were specifically cut down for their lumber, they would not have been wasted because they wouldn’t have been felled otherwise. Moreover this was long before anyone was planning long term sustainability goals. This was in no way sustainable removal of old growth.

Any sort of digital release? How exactly does one play a computer game that has not had any sort of digital release? Are you expecting to scan your game’s binary files and assets from microfilm? Maybe your actually just looking for some TTRPG? There were some VHS games once upon a time, maybe that’s what you’re after?

That’s a great word!

This should be obvious. It’s the reasons for the renaming, not the renaming itself.

Because famously only US citizens keep pets.

As batman movies go they’re pretty boring. It’s a dark and gritty hero, fighting dark and gritty villains, in a boring gritty city, with boring citizens. Their not bad movies. They were clearly made by clever talented people, good at what they do. But the result lacks any real contrast, just black on black on black on black. I’ll rewatch any other batman movie at the drop of a hat, no questions asked. I know I’ll be entertained. But I’m totally uninterested in rewatching the Nolan Batman movies.

Those “repeated certain melodies across the movie” have a name. It’s called a theme and is something that’s pretty common in movies, opera, musicals, symphonies, etc. An entire work can have a theme that is modified, built upon, expanded or changed as the narrative progresses. Individual characters or places can have their own unique themes. Daft Punk’s entire style is built on repetition, so it should be no surprise that their musical score work would highlight that.

That’s not what the articles says or implies at all. The article only refers to another article with a click bait headline. The article article summarizes Canonical stance like this:

• Canonical will add AI to Ubuntu — but only cautiously and when it truly makes sense.
• AI features must be mature, open-source, and run locally when possible.
• Focus AI on accessibility (speech-to-text, TTS) and improvements, not turning Ubuntu into an ‘AI product’.

And to be clear, including a tool or default workflow is MILES away from patronizingly forcing it on to users. It’s just the way that most distros that aren’t Linux From Scratch work.

The idea is to have the server safely shutdown BEFORE it loses power, so that BIOS setting wouldn’t mean anything. The server does not loose power while it it running, so it will never “restore last state after AC loss”. The idea is that you can run a low power device (the raspberry pi) for which you don’t care if power is cut abruptly and that can talk to both the UPS and the wake-on-lan of the server directly over ethernet. It being local means those WOL are much more likely to work than trying to send them from outside your network when you’re remote. It’s a lot simpler to set this up once than it is to recover a server with a corrupted file system due to power loss or lose access to your server for weeks because a thunderstorm knocked out power for 30min at the beginning of a long trip. That pi can also take care of other always on services like a pi-hole, home assistant, etc.

Tastes like a beaver’s ass.

Paolo Bacigalupi is to the climate crisis what William Gibson is to cyberpunk. Stories like The Water Knife and The Tamarisk Hunter feeling a lot closer to reality everyday. But then again, fighting over access to water is a tale as old as time.

That’s the part that confused me. Doesn’t seem particularly useful or wise to equip a helicopter with a nuke. Seems kind of suicidal actually.

According to the article it was royalty free and published open standards, but they do not make any claim to this being an FOSS system.

Where? Everything everywhere seems to be a mix of clear channel, church broadcasts, or the rare public radio station that isn’t classical music 24/7.

Lol, this was a thing that every grocery store in my area would do every couple of years. I remember my mom making this same complaint with some regularity as we grew up. Sometimes they’d circle back around and hit a configuration from days long past.

They seemed to have calmed down on the bi-decade reorganization that moved entire isles lately. But there are still about 3-4 different places (spread across the store) that I’d need to check if I was looking for a pickle or some cheese. This ruined their delivery services because practically every item I’d order during COVID would be an unacceptable substitute because the “pros” doing the shopping were clearly children that had never done grocery shopping for themselves before.
