I hate to give Apple any ideas... but I've always wondered why macOS/iOS support falling back to software rendering, when all of their devices ship with a known GPU configuration. Without that fallback, getting the OS running on non-Apple hardware would take a lot more work.

I imagine it's pretty powerful to put your queen on the corner of 4 squares so it can capture along two ranks and two files.

At least it's on-brand.

If I knew I only had a few weeks/months of freedom left, I'd spend my time doing something other than writing blog posts.

Last I checked, mDNS didn't support Windows (requirement for our household) but it looks like it does now. I'll play with it next time I set up a new machine.

> NETBIOS is still used in modern stuff, no?

Even as a Linux guy I like to have netbios enabled since it gives you automatic DNS entries for all the hostnames on your network. I love being able to `ssh me@my-nas` without having to deal with hosts files and static IPs.

There's also losses when transporting electricity. A pipe can be made perfectly airtight, but a wire cannot be made perfectly efficient*

*Yes I know about superconductors, that doesn't apply here

> It typically costs between $400 and $1,500 to install a range hood, with the average being $750. Installing a ductless range or a replacement range hood with existing ductwork falls on the lower end. Installing a ducted range hood with new ductwork comes in near the high end.

> Connecting with Microsoft accounts is only useful to enable Windows Hello. Otherwise, use local accounts only.

I have a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 and a local-only account, and I log in with Windows Hello. Is that unusual or deprecated in Windows 11 or something?

Likely OpenAI wants to retain control of their company. If they keep 51%, they have a majority stake.

Fair enough. I was criticizing their consumer side and the exchange specifically. I don't know anything about their business products.
