I know I shouldn't be shocked and amazed but this is beyond awesome. I've been dreaming of a day when I can develop on any machine (literally: any machine) anywhere. I'm on the couch with the iPad, or outside a cafe with the macbook, or at the side of the road with my phone, with a shredded bike tyre waiting for an Uber. Or I'm travelling and something blows up. I can hop onto a random computer anywhere and fix the code. To be able to just open up a browser and plug away on some code anywhere anytime is so, so awesome.
I was editing, I was syncing my settings, I was loving how snappy it felt, and then the scratch of a record needle and I was sad when I hit F5

Brave Browser has replaced Google with its own no-tracking privacy-centric Brave Search as the default search engine for new users in five regions. Well, that was brave of them
|
|

|

Last days I read it's used to deepWeb (like Tor, etc.), is it correct?
|
|
|
|
|
I think it does connect to Tor, yeah (never installed it). I think the main focus is just a push for a more secure/private browsing experience.

Microsoft continues to inch closer to getting Android apps to run on Windows 11. Now there's developer documentation available about the coming Windows Subsystem for Android. Because nothing says 'productivity', like using an app designed for 360x640 on your 4K screen

I don't know full-market and top-countries business, but (here) HD (1280/1366) / fullHD are usual resolutions... 2k/4k, you work it, but
We only use 4k's on home-office (if it's bought it).
|

/shrug. I just picked a resolution off the top of my head for the desktop. I've never had anything near 4k either. It was just easier than looking up what my laptop is (1900? 1500? some number)

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thank you. Much more clearly states what I was going for.

Yeah. Having used android/ios emulators I'm well aware of how bad the mouse instead of a touch screen experience can be.
The insult to injury part is that the biggest problem I've had with Android Emulators was that they were always slow; so even a touchscreen laptop was of minimal value. The iOS emulator is really fast; but Apple's designers apparently hate greasy fingerprints on their glossy laptop screens so they only offer non-touch laptops.

It's funny but I suddenly realised that I trust a random Windows download more than I trust a random Android download.

Researchers have long suspected a connection between information and the physical universe, with various paradoxes and thought experiments used to explore how or why information could be encoded in physical matter. 640KB ought to be enough for everything

And how much of that information is cat videos?

Another inaccurate title. What a shocker!
Quote: In AIP Advances, a University of Portsmouth researcher attempts to shed light on exactly how much of this information is out there
Quote: To produce the estimate, the author used Shannon's information theory to quantify the amount of information encoded in each elementary particle in the observable universe as 1.509 bits of information. Yeah, 1.509 bits is enough info to let a particle know how to interact with each and every other type of particle. Did they also reach plaid sarcasm level? Trolling Phys.org? Idiots...

Software Ate The World And Now Has Indigestion | ZeroHedge[^]
The examples--of AI overseeing social media posts or enabling self-driving cars--are on the leading edge, so their failures are unsurprising. But the point that so much software depends on the internet, GPS, and power grid is a valid one.
I suspect that the vast, unseen army of what he calls "ghost workers" mostly staff call centers, dealing with issues that should be resolvable through websites alone, but which aren't because of poor specifications and implementations.

Facebook is planning to change its company name next week to reflect its focus on building the metaverse, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter. MiSpays? Freundster? Facey McBookface?
