  • Looking for books where an alien/ancient/unexplainable structure is explored

  • Seconding Hyperion. But adding the caveat you should consider reading the second book in the series too, at least, since the first ends a bit on a "cliffhanger" and has no conclusion really.

  • Was probably 3 days of a manager asking engineers to do it then 20sec of work done at the end of the

    End of the what?

  • Any Apps You Develop Will Be Used Against You

    Jump

  • Aha ok. None of that is mentioned on the site you linked and its the first time I hear it is a sort of "phased" rollout like that. I thought end of September it hits everyone.

  • Perfect day for a power outage.

  • Depending where OP lives and where the library is, they might have the same issues.

  • Any Apps You Develop Will Be Used Against You

    Jump

  • Ok, so why does it say 2027 then in the meme?

  • Convinced my partner to install Linux on her laptop. Going with Zorin OS. Thoughts?

    Jump

  • Sorry, got nothing to add to your question. Good luck with the switch to Linux.

    To everyone else: if you are still wondering why in 2026 it is still difficult for the average person to just "switch from Windows to Linux", just read all the comments here. I mean, I guess mostly the ones that are not deleted yet.

    Jump

  • I am out of the loop, what is the worldwide thing talked about here? Is it Android locking down on non-Playstore apps?

  • Microsoft Teams' new controversial AI will listen to your meetings and answer before you ask, but it won't be turned on by default

    Jump

  • To add to that, at least the average meeting I am in, people don't look much at the chat. The meeting organiser might, but that is also not happening too frequently.

  • Early Steam Machine user mourns "red line of death" following GPU failure

    Jump

  • It's only one user so far.

  • Mystery identity of 'Green Boots' climber is finally solved after DNA test

    Jump

  • The identification was confirmed by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) ahead of a bid to recover the body from Everest's notorious 'death zone' at an altitude of more than 8,000 metres.

    After 30 years! I wonder why they finally decided to do this or why it took so long to get approval.

  • Companies Are Throttling Employees’ AI Use Because It’s Too Expensive

  • Thanks juniorkingpp for confirming this is funny.

  • What a joke apps are turning into.

    Jump

  • You are right but just as the original commenter said, even if you pay there is no way to be sure the app you just paid for isn't harvesting and selling your sweet sweet usage data. Like Tiktok I'd imagine would 100% do.

    I am at a point where I'd really like to support and pay for apps, even closed source ones, just so they don't show me ads or harvest my data. Open source is much better at that, of course.

  • dBrand Companion Cube cancelled:

    Jump

  • Handling with class? They just tried to get away with something that clearly doesn't work that way. You don't make a product based on a known franchise without contacting the franchise owner about it.

  • Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC - 25th Jun 2026

    Jump

  • Also Sweeney "why do people like Steam more than the Epic store?"

  • Parents booking air-conditioned hotels to keep babies safe in UK heatwave

    Jump

  • True, those babies should really work on climate change instead.

  • Polish airport named Europe’s best in major awards

    Jump

  • Wrocław Airport.

    And it got an award as best small airport, so it is not just in general the best.

  • Windows 10 gets yet another year of life as Microsoft extends security updates into 2027

  • Lmao
