These NFT memecoins, limited quantity digital art, are only interesting in regards to the technology of how it all works. But it’s really just been a way to profit off people playing with the technology or getting caught up in…
The implication is that tailored prices might be used to gouge certain consumers, but in fairness it can also be used to give deals to move product. Consequently, I’ve looked at items on Amazon that I didn’t buy, to come…
Wyoming is generally pro-crypto, and this isn’t a bad strategy given Bitcoin‘s growth, especially when the banking system strives for 2% inflation devaluing cash reserves (much worse with low interest rates and excessive money printing). At the moment Bitcoin is…
So much for these battery storage facilities and these batteries. Lithium based batteries are great in that they’re simple to charge, can charge fast and provide a lot of power, but they depend on circuits to control voltage and amperage…
It’s implied they’re making the change because of third party sites and tools, though I suspect some AI slop they want to include. Consequently, I run privacy search proxies, SearxNG and Whoogle, that use Google search while protecting the privacy…
This picture based AI system isn’t perfect, as we sometimes get stopped and manually checked. It’s funny that this works because your purchases aren’t bagged which doesn’t help Walmart with fraud from people not properly checking things out, which interestingly…
I thought I’d try out MX Linux’s new version along with the new XFCE 4.20, and I’ve really enjoyed it this morning. And it is supported by VMware Workstation 3D graphical acceleration. Also, the installer recognizes it’s being installed in…
A very good review of where we are with the threat to Bitcoin posed by Quantum computers. In simple terms, a lot of cryptography deals with large prime numbers multiplied together which on modern computers happens quite fast, but going…
Interesting report of the feds getting warrants to wipe malware from people’s computers without their permission. Why not alert them to the infection for them to deal with when found? This kind of deprives them of using a computer forensics…
The greedy megacorp overplays its hand. You’d have to think they’re literally banking on many firms not having the expertise to make the move away from VMware. But there are opensource alternatives, and probably plenty of consultants to help make…
Research has shown data can be deanonymized, but it’s interesting that they’re testing to see if they can get away with feeding medical records to AI systems. And they want a digital ID that will have all your data associated,…
Meh. I’m just not a fan of all the AI hype, as they’re mostly fed with garbage and thus the output is garbage (essay output I’ve seen on the Bible and Christianity is pathetically bad). Though for a lot of…
