    Claude Code can now take over your computer to complete tasks

    Be glad or you'd get acquainted with most expensive rm -rf / stories... Wouldn't script based on Webdriver work? What jailbreak? What you mean by it in this context? In any case, Administrators do have sufficient rights to System32, but there are multiple safeguard to prevent accidents. But I...

    Supreme Court rejects Sony’s attempt to kick music pirates off the Internet

    It's not a stealing its at best copyright infringement. Not that I care much, because if I download an audio/video I am NOT committing copyright infringement either in this EU country... (makes matter of DRM on them not exactly important)

    Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5’s generative AI glow-ups

    Little interjection. It's interesting that nobody talks about invisible? elephant in the room. How it will affect gameplay. Changes to character and mood are only beginning. What happens if an item is changed or is invisible/covered by inserted different thing? What happens if interaction box is...

    After Discord fiasco, age-check tech promises privacy by running locally. Does it work?

    So properly designed that there is no mention of use case without smartphone. And frankly it is only marginally better than other nonsensical "think of the children" crap.

    Microsoft is working to eliminate PC gaming’s “compiling shaders” wait times

    They do for Windows too. Not sure if it is Vulkan only, but at least for some games Steam will send precompiled shaders.

    30 years later, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a relic of a lost era

    You forgot VLB VGAs. Also some of old ISA cards were huge. Like say original IBM CGA... ETA: And in case of Old thing became new, we got back to huge sizes with GPUs for past 15 years or so.

    30 years later, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a relic of a lost era

    I'd say original Geforce. T&L! I still hate that those later two were Nintendo exclusive. Logitech Force3D or its non-forcefeedback version are pretty durable. (survived me and non-FF version is still traveling with Artemis) Unfortunately they are older and don't natively support XInput. Not...

    AI can rewrite open source code—but can it rewrite the license, too?

    Sorry, but no. Unless model (near) verbatim replicated copyrightable piece of code, then their output is clear of it. Your argument BTW is from patent laws not copyright.

    AI can rewrite open source code—but can it rewrite the license, too?

    Wait, what do you exactly mean by "tainted"? We are not talking about patents for ideas. We are talking about copyright, so about particular expression of a thing. It shouldn't matter how much he was involved with project. Only it should matter if rewrite includes copyrightable things from...

    AI can rewrite open source code—but can it rewrite the license, too?

    That's why big projects or foundations (e.g. ASF) require copyright assignment. === There's one concerning thing. Since when exposure to original (L)GPL code automatically means I can't use any other non-GPL license for rewrite of project? Last time I saw such BS was with SW patents...

    Renaissance DIY science: People tested, tweaked home remedy recipes

    To add to others, Symphytum officinale. Especially extract processed to gel works pretty nicely. Longest used combination is with Camphor. Good for light to medium muscle and joint aches. Good for high volume treatment after exercise and training. For Manga/Light novel readers, this combination...

    RAM now represents 35 percent of bill of materials for HP PCs

    Correction: Windows are fine on low memory computer. (I drove Windows 10 on 4GB regularly and they run pretty well on old Asus EEE PC 1000H, Windows 11 are fine on 8GB) Browsers not so much...

    Why Final Fantasy is now targeting PC as its “lead platform”

    About those robbers, most like those are robber knights. There were quite few of them even during reign of Charles the Fourth. And frequently it was up to ruler or one of higher nobles to deal with them.

    'Ban' status indicators use nonstandard/unclear language

    OK, my mostly serious suggestion mostly inspired by ISF/JREF forum: Thread suspension/ban (alt: Suspended/banned from thread) Account(user) suspended/banned That way there is clear differentiation between temporary deadness and permanent deadness...

    NoYes. I don't remember them either. I only (need to) know where/how to quickly find the info... ;)

    Microsoft’s new 10,000-year data storage medium: glass

    Those packs are mostly processors not storage. And those episodes were Learning Curve and Macrocosm.
