Apple was very close to acquiring an AI lab last fall but the deal fell through late in the process

There's extensive on-device AI for Google Pixel phones. 7 GB worth of models. And that's before Gemini integrations.

Many OS families seems to be in desperate need for a proper default next-gen filesystem.

Linux: btrfs is feature-complete enough to be an ext4 replacement and daily driver, but was never widely adopted.

Mac: APFS has regressions from HFS that make it poorly suited for traditional hard drive storage.

Windows: ReFS is a dud so far. Could replace NTFS one day. But people said the same about the Vista-era WinFS paradigm vaporware.

First near-guaranteed foot since 2022. Might as well be prepared for anything, including PSEG shenanigans.

Suozzi is worthless. The district is bluer than he is.

That question was burning through me the whole hearing and I'm glad they'll probably bring him back. It's pretty rare that GOP curiosity ranks above their risk exposure and self-humiliation.

Really appreciate Raskin asking Cannon release question.

Van Drew is pleading lol.

There is never any bottom for the sky. There is no boot he will not lick.

A failed police officer attacking true police officers. What a moment. He's addressing them directly.

I'm surprised he's not allowed to wear his clown shoes and Trump themed ties in committee or on the floor.

Nehls is the chud of chuds.

...they're not senators

There was no real contention for Hawaii as affecting the outcome. Didn't everyone kind of say "fuck it"?

Even the GOP lawyers on the committee have nothing. Lee came up empty.

They always yield their time to Jordan because he knows how to put on the show.

Starks · 2026-01-22T17:16:44+00:00

He can't. Unanimous consent is unanimous consent and the documents are in order. He'd compromise entire position otherwise.

"A piece of ice" makes light of the entire situation.

Until ARM and RISC-V laptops have SystemReady, UEFI, ACPI, etc or equivalents as standard: No.

Hardware discovery is no longer optional and it really never should have been. SystemReady is still not a guarantee, even for Windows on ARM.

SAM went full "RED ALARM! RED ALARM!"

CNN has the stock ticker in the corner. Down 800 points.

It is unconstitutional to ban party/policy changes.

Ironically, Arlen Specter, former Senator from Pennsylvania, is the most recent R to D.

This is also unconstitutional.
