One of the big winners of the Unity debacle is the free and open source Godot Engine, which has seen its funding soar to a much more impressive level as Unity basically gave them free advertising.
I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well....
The best part about windows’ slow ass file search is the fact that windows keeps a file index that third party programs can use to search multiple terrabytes of spinning rust in seconds, and then doesn’t use it

Laying 200km of fiber for a town of ~1000 will always be more expensive than it is worth (for an ISP) and that math only gets worse when you look at last-leg hookups for people spread out ~5km apart around the area and not living directly in the town.
JPEG 's conspicuous issues like lack of transparency, animation, lossless compression and high bit depth support makes it little tough to justify it as leading format for time to come. Various attempts like WebP and AVIF are made (and are supported on modern browsers) to overcome problems of JPEG but they all also suffer some...
Probably easier to fake with frames of animation, but JXL is not a replacement for .PSD or .XCF files and I do not know what usecase layers would be for besides authoring

Parent comment was pointing out that you pick what instance you use and there are a lot to choose from, so they tend to be fairly homogenous in views (exception being the largest few)
The abscence of formal centralized definitions is kinda the bread and butter of the english language. All dictionaries are trying to describe how people use words, not what they mean.
When spreadsheeting software doesn’t have a feature you need, I feel the most logical next step is to write a program in a simple language like python to do it. (there is a reason data scientists like it so much)
I belive it, but the article mentions that the tech requires non-silicon semiconductors (enormously expensive to scale right now, think of how expensive building current-gen fabs is, and tack on the cost of experimental tech) not to mention the fact that changing the memory architecture to merge RAM and long-term storage would require significantly altered CPU design, (and probably significant OS/Kernel changes too!)
TL;DR assuming that this is real and not wierd shareholder fluff like other commenters assume, we probably won’t see it in consumer hardware (or even enterprise stuff) for a long time
Hey now, we only know that pfas cause nerological disorders in children and that they don’t go away and are difficult/expensive to filter at scale, maybe they make you live forever, too.
