I'm slightly surprised they're just holding these artefacts with bare hands. I thought that was generally a no-no for dealing with objects untouched for thousands of years

That roadmap image looks like mojibake.

I would say I'm excited to buy 6F²ζÅ DRAM but I assume it's going to be reserved for AI datacentres that don't exist.

on the darkweb you can pay people to break into wrongdoers houses and set their default browser to Edge. For extreme cases you can also have their TV connected to the internet and all EULAs accepted...

It's a big ask to expect people to do the thing they volunteered to do and can step back from doing any time they want?

It means the manufacturer has arbitrarily decided that you need to buy a new fridge because their bottom line is looking a bit ragged

my latest annoyance is the way they keep making the gift nitro button bigger and more likely to be where you tap when trying to send a message. I don't know what their PMs are smoking to think that gifting nitro is something people do so often that there needs to be a permanent flashing button on screen to do it.

I feel like the article glosses over the fact that (to my mind) `int_fast32_t` and `int_least32_t` are a much better solution than "int is a random size good luck"

If you code exclusively using those types (and the `*ptr_t` ones) then you precisely express to both the compiler and the next person reading it what is supposed to be in those variables.
