At least the AMD system management requires physical access (the AMD PSP does not have a network stack). Intel ME / AMT does have a network stack, and it hides its packets inside the host traffic. That’s the reason of the black holes on many Intel CPUs when listening on ports 16992-16995 (the host does not see incoming traffic to those ports because the AMT intercepts it).
Stalin suing Hitler. I’m rooting for both of them to lose.
Not anymore. After public outcry, Google established 2 alternatives:
Apart from the already mentioned possible causes, it could be temperature: digital camera sensors (e.g. in cellphones) are very sensitive to heat, and I’ve had a couple of badly designed devices where the heat gets too close to the sensor. The result are photos similar to yours, specially noticeable in low light (though mine were more purple-ish than green/blue).
That doesn’t solve the problem: it only disables the duck.ai assistant, but doesn’t disable the search results that are normal websites generated with AI (the real issue here). To be fair, that’s not DDG problem specifically but every search engine problem.
The web is now full of these fake websites, which is a real problem because on the search results they look legit and only when visiting them you realize it’s AI crap.
And the funny (or sad) thing is that current AIs are being trained on these fake hallucinating sites, so even they are suffering from false information, which in turn is given to humans and used to make more fake websites and… the result is up to your imagination.
I would amend that to “since WWII”, and the answer would still be no.
I had the same feeling, but with a TNT2 card. I first played Half-Life with software rendering, 320x240 in my fishbowl 14" monitor. Then a few months later I bought the TNT2 (M64, the cheap version), and began my 2nd playthrough at a glorious 640x480 with much better FPS. It was awesome.
Sadly, in many of these programs, Copilot will start collecting data if you enable it. And send it to Microsoft, obviously.
Control and censorship. Imagine a developer distributing an apk that Google doesn’t like, let’s say, emulators, ad-blockers, VPNs (if they become illegal in some places), piracy apps or many others. Just remove their verified status and voilà.
This is awful. Google is quickly becoming a new walled garden, Apple-style.
Not that I don’t agree with your sentiment, but patents (technical methods to build machines, do stuff, etc.) are different from copyright (stories, characters, etc… the one Disney has exploited for decades).
Pretty much. I’ve played all Soulsborne + Sekiro on PC using kbm, and though it’s not that much easier than using a controller, some things are way better, like fighting unlocked or using bows.
But you really have to remap some keys, because the default keymap is horrendous.
And additionally, China takes advantage and the EU starts doing more business with them.
China tried to keep itself very neutral in the Ukraine/Russia war (at least on the outside), and it even distanced itself from Putin in the last months. It would be a perfect chance for them to strengthen their economic ties with the EU.
Trump has really freaked up the soft power balance of the world. It was slowly decaying before, but he really pushed the Turbo button.

With Dune I had no problem. One of my favorite books, actually. But Ulysses… oh god. That was a hard book to read (and not finish).
As a younger gen-x I recognize similar numbers. And the 10% I’m not sure about is usually because there’s no people clearly visible in the picture. It’s like if our brains were trained from birth to detect subtle signals of something being human…
