I predict we will get a lot of early "reviews" from Apple YouTubers who try and show that 8gb of ram is enough and that it performs well. Then after the review they go back to their $4000 MacBook pro and only use the Neo to show off on camera. The issue is, the Neo will

I just gave a closed-book, pen-and-paper midterm exam in my 300-level course at UBC with 100 students. All exams were graded by an experienced graduate-level TA according to a rubric. *** The average was 64/100.*** My class averages at UBC are usually 80-85. Context: • This

Happy to see both Voyagers on DSN Now within the last few days

This is where we are headed. Thank goodness for FreeBSD

Samsung killing SATA SSD production. The end of general purpose compute for consumers continues. Lots of older hardware still around where swapping out a spinning disk for a SATA SSD is a big performance bump.

If air traffic controllers are not able to operate safely due to being forced to multitask, work extended shifts, etc ...they should walk off the job completely and shut the airports down. Not send fire trucks across the runway in front of landing aircraft.

Moon base but still no Voyager follow on. Human spaceflight over the last 20 years is frankly a disappointment.....we should be doing the APL Interstellar Probe.

The destruction of our ability to buy any tech product so tech bros can have AI continues

Microsoft / GitHub injecting ads into CoPilot generated PRs: welcome to the future! notes.zachmanson.com/copilot-edited… (yes, this was a confirmed "feature" from someone on the CoPilot team; apparently they are disabling it after backlash)

So, how much slower at spacecraft recovery was Orion compared to SpaceX? Looking at Artemis stream splashdown is 1:39:30 1st crew out at 3:02:58, 4th crew out at 3:06:59. SpaceX DM-2 landing at 6:28:04 1st crew at 7:46:48, 2nd at 7:50:33 Orion 1:27:29 Dragon 1:22:29 So, 5 minutes

To conserve power, engineers at NASA JPL have turned off an instrument on Voyager 1 – but the science continues! Voyager 1 has two remaining science instruments – one that listens to plasma waves and one that measures magnetic fields. Learn more: science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyager/
