Science Memes@mander.xyz•I love when scientists mock each otherEnglish
2·1 month agoThey are pointing out in this article that the way that the problem is devised for the computer makes it basically already solved. The quantum computer get a list of all the factors and, after a bunch of hand waving, picks one. Something a vic20 an abacus and a dog can all do too.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Microsoft fixes broken Windows update days after vowing fewer broken updatesEnglish
3·2 months agoI think that the era of platform locked internal tools is close to being over, at least for smaller organizations.
AI sucks for innumerable reasons, but the ability to create internal tooling for specialized systems is now something that organizations of smaller and smaller sizes can now take advantage of. IE, write a printer interface that does xyz for our machine and integrates with CUPS instead of a windows print server. Now we can save a Windows server license and an expensive proprietary software license.
AI is still absolutely terrible though. Never open a port to anything vibe coded ever.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
7·2 months agoYes and as far as I can tell, they all have that as their system. Also the changing of the password every quarter which has proven to actually decrease password security and increase password reuse.
I should say, if anyone knows a bank with proper modern online security protocols I am willing to listen.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite bit of childlore?English
1·2 months agoOccam’s razor probably points to having access to graph paper in school and connecting corners.
Why an S?
That all has to do with Cthulu as S is widely known as his favorite letter.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
3·2 months agoFair point but I am not going to do all my shopping exclusively out of catalogs and mail in my payment with cash.
Its a shitty situation but short of government regulation (ha) nothing is going to change.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
21·2 months agoI appreciate the effort but my banking apps still rely on 2FA through SMS. They aren’t interested in implementing a technology that is more secure or even one that is different than what they have already, especially for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of their user base.

Android@lemdro.id•Losing the lie-flat form-factor - What to do with off-centre camera bump?English
81·3 months agoI justbwish that they would make the whole phone thicker to match the camera sticking out.
Put some more battery in there.
I think so, just a relatively famous copypasta.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?English
2·3 months agoGhosts, no way.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux
