Google Search Ranks AI Spam Above Original Reporting in News Results
  • Kagi isn't a competitor to Google because search engine isn't Google's product.

    Collecting user data and monetizing it is Google's business product, and they are far and away ahead of any other "competition".

    They don't even need the search engine anymore to collect user data. They have millions of people using Chrome, watching YouTube, using Gmail, using an Android phone...etc

  • Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • I know exactly how it works. I use it every day. I never said it isnt easy. I said it's more steps to set it up.

    Rufus: run exe, pick iso, run it

    Ventoy: run exe to install it, run it to configure the drive, copy ISOs over to the drive

    For setting up a drive that's going to be used repeatedly and continually changing what's on it, Ventoy is the superior tool.

    For a one time use to quickly get a ISO over to a USB... Rufus is quicker and gets the job done.

    ...and again...OP already has Rufus in hand. There's no reason to get another piece of software that doesn't offer any advantage to OP's task.

  • Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • Ventoy is great, but....

    1. It takes a few more steps to setup than Rufus, and you still have to set the right boot mode

    2. The tool OP already has should work so there's no need to send him to download another piece of software if he can complete the task with what he has.

  • Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • UNetbootin stopped being useful a long time ago. Rufus is OK as long as you set it up right.

    Partition scheme: MBR

    Target system: BIOS or UEFI

    File system:FAT32

    Then in the BIOs setting on the HP go to advanced and set "Legacy Support Enabled". Save and exit.

    Smash the F9 key repeatedly during boot to pull up the boot menu. You should see your USB device listed to pick and boot from.

  • 0Patch promises Windows 10 support until 2030
  • If this lets you monitor the patch status of the end clients in your org, then it's actually cheaper than existing solutions used for managing regular Windows updates.

    The only questionable part is how reliable, trustworthy, and secure is 0patch themselves?

    Allowing a third party access to patch system level files opens the risk of a rootkit install. (In fact their agent being able to access system would function much like a rootkit itself).

    They could easily backdoor something into thousands, or even tens of thousands of PC very quickly. Make a huge botnet, steal data, etc, etc.

    Assuming they are trustworthy themselves, if their security is compromised, either from hackers or even a rogue employee, the same results could happen and could take a long time to discover.

  • Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old holding a pellet gun, authorities say
  • if you can't carry a gun in public, you effectively don't have the right to bear arms, but AFAIK NY law grants citizens that right.

    Nope. NY's laws prohibit having a gun anywhere outside of your home.

    To make it even more ridiculous... this includes the pellet gun this kid had. In NY having a air gun is a felony weapons charge. (sections 265.01, 265.20, 265.01-a)

  • Prospect of low-priced Chinese EVs reaching US from Mexico poses threat to automakers
  • One really bad deaign out of thousands made in 120 years of manufacturing. Still a pretty good average.

    They had a few other famous failures (though not nearly as bad as the Pinto) including the Edsel and the Bronco 2. Both of which they removed from production and moved on to make something better.

    Ford is literally the antithesis of what I was saying about a brand that just disappears after a fuck up rather than owning it and improving on the next one.

  • Prospect of low-priced Chinese EVs reaching US from Mexico poses threat to automakers
  • Quality control? Safety standards? Phhhh those only add cost!

    Buy an affordable car from XYSSJ brand!

    ...oh a XYSSJ car catches fire and kills the passengers trapped inside ... and the brand disappears.

    Not to worry! You can buy an affordable car from the latest brand:FongWay! These cars sure look surprisingly familiar... 🤔
