Windows 8.1 was released in 2013, so yeah, a blast from the past!

I enjoy Organic Maps.

In a society where women are often harassed, many women use bathrooms to escape men, even if just for a few moments of peace.

I don’t think this is true, although maybe in some places.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟

That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.

The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.

I mean… the inability to know what it knows or not is a real problem for most use cases…

Netanyahu is a terrible human being but an amazing politician.

In Israel all governments are coalition governments, and as Netanyahu got less and less mainstream support he tacked further and further to the right, joining with crazy religious fundamentalists because that was the only way to stay in power.

My understanding is that very shortly after losing power he will end up in court on corruption charges, and maybe die in prison. Not because of crimes against humanity, but for crimes against Israel.

There are more Jews in the USA than in Israel?

Nixon was a potty mouth.

A TCP session is a unique combination of client IP, client port, server IP, and server port.

So you can use the same IP and port as long as the destination is a different IP or port.

This means that in principle you could use the same IP and port to connect to every IP address on the Internet using 65536 concurrent sessions. 😆

This wouldn’t help going to popular destinations, since they have a lot of people going to the same IP address and port, but for many (most?) of them you probably have some sort of CDN servers in your data centers anyway.

I switched like 25 years ago. For a long time I had a Windows partition for booting up games, until Microsoft stopped accepting my old licenses. Luckily I really didn’t care at that point.

A DuckDuckGo search says that since 1924 native Americans living on reservations also get birthright citizenship. I suppose there may be a handful of native Americans born before then who are still alive, but I doubt many.

I mean, it sounds like you’re spending 12 hours a day in a polluted city so…

What do you mean? Which children born on US soil since 1868 were not granted birthright citizenship?

I’m not the person you’re asking but surely they just told the compiler to treat warnings as errors after that. No warnings can creep in then!
