Folks have already answered but generally its defense in depth: 1)Open-source is visible, allowing everyone to see what directly is in there to know what is in the code. 2) Git repos are generally available and people make it a point to scan them; also when you use/integrate/install them, your...

That sub model that was printing billions, that they grew fat while everyone starved, <Christopher Walken King of New York reference>the genie is out of the bottle and will never go back in. The era of bespoke applications have arrived, and the Big Tech companies know, and knew it. I mean...

I've been using a bunch of different AI tools to write various things, as I walk my way up the Vibe coding ladder, getting certs and upskilling myself along the way. I use Abascus.ai to build an Azure website for some monitoring dashboards, and it did a great job. Explained the whole process...

When you're talking about user operations in the millions given the install base, sure: Edge things happen. And writing BIOS isn't exactly "software" in the traditional sense, technically you are updating the hardware itself. Mapping physical addresses is what RAM does, indeed, though. AI...

As I said: Microsoft is going to Microsoft, and your Windows install isn't necessarily safe from Windows Update but it isn't doing anything to your RAM or any other hardware that any other software wouldn't do. Also, Microsoft itself recognizes this; that's what System Restore points are for...

You're looking in the wrong end of the telescope. Hardware fails, sadly but WINDOWS UPDATE in particular wasn't the cause of it; it doesn't put any more strain on RAM than anything else. USE of RAM, as in running electricity through it to process 1s and 0s eventually causes hardware to fail, so...

Windows Update is not going to break your PC any more than any other usage, from a hardware perspective. No warranties expressed or implied about your Windows 11 install, however; Microsoft is going to Microsoft from time to time and everyone's install is different but it's voodoo/Cargo Cultism...

I mean, MS sucks and all that but "Windows Update" didn't kill your RAM; it just died while Windows was updating, unless you have something more directly indicative that Windows Update was causative. Otherwise its just French peasants killing cats.The Great Cat Massacre - Wikipedia It's the...

Lots of great actors have been in shitty movies; lots of great actors have had clunkers where they aren't shown in their best light in the role. And your opinion is your opinion, I guess, and I love you bro but this is a: You don't have a nearly 50 year movie career because you are a "shitty...

It was reported elsewhere as "Cardiac arrest". Supposedly he wasn't doing any of those things. Fake edit: The first line of the article says the same damn thing: "The singer-songwriter died Thursday in a hospital in Manhattan of cardiac arrest," Sure, if you die after a heart attack...

IIRC, and who knows, maybe I am remembering this incorrectly, part of the (main) reason they can't add storage is the game is architected so when you pass someone in town (which is designed in the original game with Merchants etc far apart so that you have to walk LONG DISTANCES deliberately so...

What I think is happening, they are comparing Xbox to other divisions, and compared to Office and Windows, it doesn't make enough money for the bean-counters. No one is smart enough to see that the Microsoft brand means something, and that intangible value in one area can bolster your other...

As long as you get something like the UM880 Plus, which has the Oculink Port, you could indeed use an external GPU with it.
