Oh, totally. I just don’t know a better word for “everyone knows this is what’s going on, but they have plausible deniability, so we can’t state it with certainty” 😄

Ørsted is not the only Danish company affected by the suspension. For example, Vestas was set to supply windmills to one of these parks. So it’s not just US contractors.

Note that the suspension that the administration made for offshore wind affects the Danish economy in general with billions in revenue. The suspension also coincided with Trump appointing Jeff Landry as “special envoy” to Greenland, so there’s speculation that this suspension is more about...

And I hope there’s good reasons for sticking with 256GB, as opposed to just not paying a bit more. But given the news that most physical releases will actually just be downloads-in-a-box, I’m guessing those 256GB will fill up quite fast, and and an expansion will be close to mandatory for many...

Despite this, the thing that really gets me is Nintendo launching the Switch 2 with 256GB of storage. I would really expect 512GB for that price, even if 256GB in 2025 isn’t quite as bad as the Switch launching with 32GB

I wish Apple had gone the middle route and had buttons with individual screens on them for the function keys. I never use the touch bar for anything that requires sliding motions or anything like that, just custom buttons. I love it for doing Zoom calls, but I just want my regular function keys...

It seems like we could still use an Ars walkthrough of how this happened for CrowdStrike. They published all the details after the incident, so it feels really out of character for Ars to only be reporting on the drama and the posturing, and not a technical walkthrough.

I didn't even realize this was a good practice, but I'm happy to hear I've been protecting myself all along! I just turn my router off when I'm not using it. Though I've also been thinking that the router is at least not exposed when it is off.

I wish. Spotlight never wants to find apps for me 😕

Primary uses for me: 1. Putting apps within reach of my thumb. iOS has always arranged itself towards the upper left corner, and as a right handed person with average hands and arms, the upper left corner is the most unreachable position to shoot for. 2. Arranging icons so they don't obscure the...

Rust definitely brings new capabilities to the table compared to C and C++, so if your experts have been saying otherwise, you need to find better experts 😊

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? Yes, the older and more established languages are certainly still around and have advantages associated with their prominence. That doesn't mean a newcomer can't meaningfully improve on what they do. Reading between the lines, your message comes...

I don't know how much truth there is to it, but I've also seen this angle floating around: Linus is concerned about the long term viability of the kernel, as he and other maintainers approach retirement. Integrating Rust is a way to drum up some excitement for a new generation, and hopefully...

Just a shout out to the Redox OS project, which is actually an OS written in Rust that tries to be reasonably compatible with Linux.

I'm really wondering why Ars hasn't covered the technical details of the CrowdStrike incident. The full root cause analysis has been out for a while, so it feels quite un-Ars-like that we keep getting the drama and non of the tech.

I'm even more dumbfounded that Disney did something this terrible, for something which seems super clear cut to my layman eyes: Great Irish Pub fucked up, and Disney being their landlord has very little to do with the issue at hand. I know they're still being served of course, and there is a...

I can see that, in some world where it's an LLM that won't share private information on someone's emotional state with corporate overlords, won't wrongfully diagnose someone with e.g. depression, and so on. So I can see something like a dedicated toy/app/whatever that is extremely focused on...

In addition to what's been said about the importance of the intent versus the actual content of such a letter, there is also the additional factor that this is about writing on behalf of a child. A lot of nuance is lost in a short ad of course (if it was ever there in the first place), but...

I'm pretty happy using Kagi for my searching, personally.

I'm pretty sure The Oatmeal managed to convince Elon to build some super chargers at the lab back in the initial run actually.
