But I still do net see the benefit of putting data centers into space.
I imagine that it’s less of an administrative process; less people to answer to

Nah, honestly I expected to be the one getting downvoted. He’s objectively doing the right thing by paying his taxes.
If I ever hoard money until I’m among the richest 10% in the world, who gives a shit if I pay taxes because you all will hate me regardless

on OpenAI agent hacks Australia's Medicare in world's first known AI breach of government body in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13h ago
It would be AWFUL if someone used AI to hack the Department of Home Affairs and grant all 417 visa applications. Just saying.
Edit: Maybe only the applications that are 100% decision ready and have been lodged on the 5th of July? No? Ok.

Unrelated, but I’m sure he’s got the tackiest wallet imaginable. Maybe crocodile leather or something.

on Winamp will be reborn in 2027 to take on streaming in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2d ago
Last time I heard about a Winamp reboot it was a Bandcamp ripoff with added cryptoslop. While this seems marginally better it’s still pretty disappointing.
Deezer seems alright as a streaming service, though, and they’re French so there’s that.

on Google is sending MrBeast into the wilderness, armed with AI in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6 Sep 2026
While the thought of this idiot dying in a preventable way because AI told him to eat something poisonous is entertaining let’s be real, this is most likely gonna be scripted from start to finish and probably designed to portray AI in the best way possible.
In other words; it’ll be boring as fuck.

I hope Asha Sharma walks back the plans for Project Helix being digital only, because that would be their #1 advantage next gen IMO

There needs to be an incentive to buy new hardware

on John Ternus Era at Apple Kicks Off With the Changing of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
I mean, maybe that decision wasn’t really his? Sounds like it could’ve been Tim Apple’s last minute order to do everything his majesty world leader supreme wants.
The article isn’t clear on that, I wouldn’t write off Johnny just yet.
-
on John Ternus Era at Apple Kicks Off With the Changing of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
Eh. It should just keep its original name.
The whole thing kinda reminds me of Uluru, that still officially has both names… What did native americans call the Gulf of Mexico?

-
on John Ternus Era at Apple Kicks Off With the Changing of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
I mean, that was kinda inevitable to be honest. Apple went with Gulf of America, now they’re going with Lake America. If Trump decided to rename Canada into America+ they’d probably go with it as well.
I’m much more interested in what having a hardware guy as their CEO will do to their products. Obviously he’s just as much of an AI sheep as anyone else in Silicon Valley right now but maybe at least we’ll get some interesting new hardware as well?

Is Trump really so uncreative that every name change he orders is just “replace x with America”?

It definitely is, but that doesn’t justify the price in my mind

on Panic passes Trump tariff refunds back to the Playdate customers who paid them in c/technology@lemmy.world · 27 Aug 2026
I have an Analogue Pocket and I’d say it’s better value for not that much more money; I can play all my existing GB games and more through adaptors and emulation, and that screen is amazing. Not saying it’s cheap and I despise their artificial scarcity bullshit, but I don’t regret buying one.

Good on them! I was intrigued by the Playdate ever since it came out, but always found it too expensive. Maybe I’ll get one after all.
But yeah, no surprises about Nintendo here…

on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives in c/technology@lemmy.world · 25 Aug 2026
When I was in Australia last year I was overwhelmed by how much modern cars beep at you. The worst offender by far was a 2025 Kia Carnival that had different beeps for every possible thing the system might label a driving error.
It was more distracting than helpful to be honest.

on Nintendo Wipes Out 400+ Switch Emulator Repos in Single-Day GitHub Sweep * TorrentFreak in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
I think they don’t really care actually. Sure, they could afford to defend the people who voluntarily spent 100+ hours to build a repository using their tools but what’s in it for them?

Why isn’t GitHub Microsoft telling them to get fucked?
They don’t wanna be sued. Emulators are technically legal but Nintendo likes to abuse every loophole in the book to argue otherwise.

I really hope this will catch on for once, it could be a great solution for all those people who insist they have to do domestic flights… (in countries like Germany which aren’t that big comparatively speaking)

on Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
In my company we already use a standardised Windows 11 Enterprise image, so the Windows 11 Pro licences that come with most PCs are of absolutely no use to us (apart from when we resell them, and even then you can get OEM keys legally for a couple of Euros so they’re not worth much).

I guess Chromebooks, kinda?

As far as I know only Lenovo is offering to omit the Windows licence off some of their computers, but only if you buy online of course.
Dell might do a similar thing for enterprise customers, I actually don’t know.

on The return of supersonic flight hinges on the race to solve one big hurdle | CNN in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
If you thought that one hurdle was the massive amount of emissions that accelerate the death of the planet even more you’re wrong. Apparently it’s noise levels.
And yet I hear about startups getting permission to shoot shit up there on a weekly basis…
