    Nvidia kills Windows XP-era Control Panel “after 20 years of dedicated service”

    My mistake, don't know why I thought it was (maybe the heavy .net integration). It's neither here nor there in the posts context though. Thanks for the correction.

    Fed up with vibe coders, dev sneaks data-nuking prompt injection into their code

    Regardless of the target audience, I think this is not acceptable behaviour for a dev. The very idea that "It's ok if it targets vibe coders" or "It's ok if it targets russians/ukranians because of x reason", streamlines into other stupid reasons that just get worse. Acceptance of the behaviour...

    Nvidia kills Windows XP-era Control Panel “after 20 years of dedicated service”

    I mean sure there are always 3rd party programs you can use as replacements (Except the paint.net which is another division of Microsoft). The point is, if you make improvements in the product that cause everyone to hop off the boat to an alternative program, then you can hardly call that an...

    Analyst on China’s spent rocket stages: “Things only continue to get worse”

    When they were confronted about plans to open way more coal based power plants, when everyone else was going green during a G7 Summit between 2021 - 2023, the chinese responded with the fact the west had done it first and that's how they got ahead. They then argued, so why shouldn't they do it...

    Nvidia kills Windows XP-era Control Panel “after 20 years of dedicated service”

    Actually if anything, this proves that it's better not to change what works. I don't see the blurry text you're talking about, and this is one panel I absolutely love. It's simple, lightweight, easy to see what's going on and how to do things. To me, this panel is perfect and does not need to be...

    Nvidia kills Windows XP-era Control Panel “after 20 years of dedicated service”

    I still need the old one, as they never integrated Nvidia 3D into the new one properly. I have an old Asus monitor and a Nvidia 3D cube like thing with shutter glasses, and the setting for this old piece of hardware is in the old cpanel. The new one, can never find it or interact with it. I...

    Gateway manufacturer finally acknowledges issue, fails to mention “corrosion”

    "Ah well, we figured we'd just patch that later on without saying anything, until we actually saw how much and how bad it actually was. Now we're going to say it's not too much of a problem that needs fixing, in the interest of not adding anymore delays to an already delayed project, and to...

    Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps

    Just checked that out, yes and no. Whilst yes it's a setting for installing from unverified sources, it's specifically for apps that are installed on the phone, as you are given a list with toggles for on or off for each app. It isn't for sideloading, or other packages that have yet to be...

    Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps

    So on my Samsung S24, they've already removed even the ability to enable Unverified Sources under Dev options, so unless they bring that option back, I won't even be able to follow even the basic first part of the instructions. It's a standard Samsung phone, so I'm concerned that since Google is...

    Man shocks doctors with extreme blood pressure, stroke from energy drinks

    Right... Insulin moves and stores glucose in other cells outside of the blood. So it'd show up in the liver as Glucagon. Insulin doesn't wipe out the sugar in your system, it converts and stores it somewhere else, so it's not like it couldn't be tested for. Insulin > Glucagon Glucagon Test Also...

    Verizon refused to unlock man’s iPhone, so he sued the carrier and won

    Verizon doing whatever they want knowing full well that the FCC have their hands full with the current administration and the current broad responsibilities they have. They have a lot on the agenda, AI is one that'll come up but for now they're rescinding laws enacted by the previous FCC and...

    Man shocks doctors with extreme blood pressure, stroke from energy drinks

    So the big question is, WHY exactly, did his blood test results for sugar levels, show as normal? I mean these days you can get a lot more sugar free energy drinks, but seven years ago there were far less of them, and they even said in their conclusion that large amounts of sugar in the energy...

    Asked why we need Golden Dome, the man in charge points to a Hollywood film

    With increasing military movements and plans for space, it's only a matter of time before we'll get locked in and lose access to space with the inevitable explosions that would happen on military assets. This makes me sad. In addition, it's ironic they'd name it after the missile defence system...

    Ryanair tries forcing app downloads by eliminating paper boarding passes

    By signifying you're going to be there, and then not actually be there, you could potentially delay the flight and be marked as a no-show. Potential repurcussion for that is a ban on the same airline for future flights, as well as your connecting flights being cancelled. If you didn't check-in...

    Ryanair tries forcing app downloads by eliminating paper boarding passes

    The very idea of checking in before you're even there is insane! >_< If you checkin and for some reason arn't able to arrive in time for your flight, it completely affects your rights because you're counted as a noshow. The whole point of checking in is to say that you'll be there, so the very...

    HDR10+ Advanced joins Dolby Vision 2 in trying to make you like motion smoothing

    I actually really love the increased framerates. I see the majority hate it, but I have to wonder if it's because it feels different as you're so used to slower frames. I'm not in the younger generation, I'm actually fairly old, but the realfeel I get from the increased frames just seems higher...

    4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act

    Unfortunately in regards to steam, it's not that simple. They need to change the way they verify, because the vast amount of people in the UK don't have a credit card, which is what steam specifically require. We all use VISA or Debit, which neither can be used with Steam for the purpose of...

    People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads

    Look outside your window. You see that giant amazon Ad on the Billboard that literally covers all the space of your window? That's how it is now. Every window will have Ads, leaving you in permanent shade without sunlight for the rest of time. When your doorbell goes, it's an Ad, because it's...

    4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act

    The OSA endangers the very people it's suppose to protect, by forcing documentation be uploaded to servers that might not be very secure. Being forced to upload your passport information for instance, along with your address, phone number, email, and other sensitive information to specific...

    Discovery of cells that keep immune responses in check wins medicine Nobel Prize

    https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination-and-selection-of-nobel-laureates/ Definitely worth looking into. It mentions that nominations arn't made public for 50 years, but I'm guessing that's the ones that don't get the prize. I wonder if you're nomination is pitted against the newer entries each...
