We just had this month’s Patch Tuesday and they’re still dealing with problems caused by last month’s?! I really need to try harder to convince my father putting Linux on his current computer is a better idea than buying a Windows 11 computer.

Looks like it really might have vanity for Rubio:

As Vice President J.D. Vance recalled at an event in December, the Journal reported, he was meeting with Trump, Rubio, and an unnamed third politician in the Oval Office when the president accused Vance and Rubio of having “shitty shoes.” Trump asked them all for their shoe size; Vance made sure to put in the record that he’s a size 13, while Rubio claimed to be an 11 and the third man a 7. The president then launched a sideways insult at the guy with the daintiest feet: “You know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.”

That the “locker-room talk” president would place an inordinate, genital-related premium on a man’s foot size was surely no surprise to Rubio, who has risen in GOP influence in direct proportion to his willingness to contort himself to Trump’s exact desires. It does not seem out of the realm of possibility, then, that Rubio would inflate his own shoe specs to impress Trump with his masculine bulk.

What I read was that Trump has been guessing the shoe sizes and people don’t want to correct him.

It doesn’t work like that:

Multiple councillors and the mayor asked if there were options the city could use to gather a higher density bonus fee from the developer, or require more affordable housing units, but staff said that was not possible.

Municipal lawyer John Traves said the municipal planning system is not set up to be disciplinary.

“As much as I’d like to find a way around it, I haven’t been able to,” Traves said.

The case is now before courts, which will decide if a fine should be issued.

Well you’ve got me imagining fitting a woman into a project like a Tetris piece.

I suppose now it’s just a matter of time until a transphobe complains that the women-only option matched them with a trans woman.

a major television network that claims to be news

To be fair, Fox News has argued in court that it’s entertainment, not news.

I can’t remember if it was at university or a job, but there was a server named ‘borg’ and on there localhost really would have been borg.

Here’s the link

The title sounds like Bondi wants DOJ to stop lawyering. Their cases haven’t been going well but that seems extreme.

Oh right, the US government is still partially shut down. Don’t really hear much about Congress trying to do anything about it these days.

So after all that, Epic just got the commission cut by 1/3? Wonder how long it’ll take their savings to equal what they spent on legal fees and the revenue they missed while Fortnite wasn’t on the Play Store.

edit: Ars’ coverage says attorneys’ fees were included in the settlement, so I guess Epic only needs to make up the missed revenue.

This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.

Releasing an OS that requires an NPU when Intel and AMD are only this year starting to ship desktop CPUs that even have an NPU seems very aggressive.

It’s OpenAI in particular trying to screw everyone else. The wafers they contracted from Samsung and SK Hynix are something like 40% of those companies’ production. There isn’t enough production volume for the other AI companies to over order like that.

Is Rubio going to scold Trump when he inevitably says something he shouldn’t have?

I’ve been skipping the PS5 versions because the games will run better on my PC, but then the sale prices on the PC versions are so much higher than on PS5 I still haven’t bought any of them.

When the recipe calls for “a bottle of soy sauce” you’re not supposed to throw in the actual bottle.

Just to be clear, the FDA has only reversed its refusal to review the vaccine for approval; it hasn’t been approved:

In an announcement Wednesday morning, Moderna said the FDA has now agreed to review its vaccine after the company held a formal (Type A) meeting with the FDA and proposed a change to the regulatory pathways used in the application.

The pictures are from different throws. Here the person is wearing long sleeves, and the person in the “gotcha” picture is wearing short sleeves.

Since the summary doesn’t say which three popular password managers:

As one of the most popular alternatives to Apple and Google’s own password managers, which together dominate the market, the researchers found Bitwarden was most susceptible to attacks, with 12 working against the open-source product. Seven distinct attacks worked against LastPass, and six succeeded in Dashlane.
