Top Story

The latest Windows 11 development builds disable the time-honoured oobe\bypassnro script that lets you setup a new PC without creating an online Microsoft account. (The Verge)

Right now you can still enable the script by editing the registry first - which you have to do, perfectly, from the command line, on a PC that isn't working yet - but who knows how long that will last.

The desktop release of SteamOS cannot arrive soon enough.

Tech News

If you were interested in getting HP's ZBook Ultra 14 with the new Ryzen 395 CPU I hope you have at least $5660 burning a hole in your pocket. (WCCFTech)

The fully configured model - Ryzen 395, 128GB of RAM, and a 4TB SSD - will set you back $8250.
Vibe coding considered suicidal. (NMN)

"Vibe coding" is a new term meaning "someone else did the work, I don't understand any of it, I just claimed ownership". Applied specifically to programming, and the the "someone else" being an AI tool.

If you're experimenting with a desktop task before implementing it properly yourself - a quick proof-of-concept - this is not bad.

In server apps, which are shared by any number of users and require strict security measures, it's fatal.

And yes, people are using it for server apps.
If you want to buy a 16 core VMWare license you can't. (The Register)

It now starts at 72 cores. If you're a small customer, you don't exist.
China Mievelle is an idiot. (Tech Crunch)

You shouldn't blame science fiction, he says, for people who spend their own money the way they want instead of on what he wants even though he has no idea what he wants.

Evening and morning, fellow insomaniacals, late toilers, and early risers! Somehow it got to be the last day of March again.

Today I have to finish clearing out my desk, carry my desk lamp (my property) to the car, set out instructions for my successor, order some supplies for the breakroom, make sure all my personal files are copied and off my computer, write to NST's financial advisor guy . . . I'm exhausted just thinking about it. With luck I can leave early!

21 HP is really proud of their ZBook laptop to be charging almost triple what Asus, of all companies, does for a fully loaded ROG Flow Z13 with the same chip.

HP must think it’s Apple with a ridiculous price like that.

I guess some big AI/Tech firms can afford to buy some of these for their people but $9k for that laptop is highway robbery for anybody else.

When you’re charging prices that would make Asus and Apple blush, you’ve gone off the deep end.

The leftist Jews in America seem to be held to a particular standard, even though they long ago discarded their Judaism for their true religion of progressivism. Their only connections to Judaism are their last names and claiming the mantle of Judaism to pretend to speak for all Jews.

de Tocqueville talked about how democracy always descends into despotism. He was correct 200 years ago, and he is correct now.

82 Some very good Tom Petty there. I was never a big fan but one of my daughters got me interested in his music, and now I am.

Props to Doof for the ONT music as well.

87 Ah, another stealth item criticizing "tech billionaires" that want to go to Mars. Gosh, but all the world's problem haven't been fixed, so you can't do that, or something.

Like, get fucked, loser. The man builds rockets at SpaceX. They're not going to fix the world's problem, they're going to launch rockets and their stretch goal is... to go to Mars. Deal with it.

90 Gosh, but all the world's problem haven't been fixed, so you can't do that, or something.

That is always the complaint when new technology is being pushed. All that's missing is "But what about the minorities that won't benefit from this!? Why do you hate them so much?"

Exactly. Being lectured to by a pompous ass who had some small success writing shit SciFi is not high on my list of things to do.

Anyone who deigns to tell other people how to spend their money needs to get punched in the mouth.

101 "Vibe coding" is a new term meaning "someone else did the work, I don't understand any of it, I just claimed ownership". Applied specifically to programming, and the the "someone else" being an AI tool.

H1B Indians have been "vibe coding" for decades, only the "someone else" was an American Engineer and not an AI...

I think I see the problem here, Professor Hanson.

103 He (Mievelle) added that there’s a “societal and personal derangement” at work when the rich and powerful “are more interested in settling Mars than sorting out the world”

And yet Elon Musk has done more to sort out the world than any human being except Trump.

And yet Musk is sorting out the world, and trying to go to Mars. I am not a proponent of GW, but he’s done a ton there to solve that basically non-existent problem…

105 >The desktop release of SteamOS cannot arrive soon enough

Create a throwaway Google account. Use it to set up your new Windows box. Once complete, log in and create a new local administrator account. Log in as that account, delete the original setup account. Easy peasy, no clever setup tricks required.

>It now starts at 72 cores. If you're a small customer, you don't exist

I have 48 cores just between two laptops and my dev workstation. I have twelve cores on my _phone_. 16 cores isn't a small customer, it's e-waste from 2010.
