MZLA makes Thunderbird. Mozilla Corp makes Firefox. Mozilla Foundation owns both.

Well, first of all, K9 regularly holds beta tests for their new versions before release already.

Being launched under the Thunderbird brand, though, is expected to hit a much wider audience than just K9 users. And being a first impression, they want to do everything they can to make that impression a solid one.

I believe Thunderbird is K9's current beta, rebranded.

If there were a way I could load Lineage on it, maybe. Not interested in a device locked to Amazon's firmware.

I was expecting idiotic rules screaming "bureaucratic muppets don't know what they're legislating on", but instead what I'm seeing is surprisingly sane and sensible

NIST knows what they're doing. It's getting organizations to adapt that's hard. NIST has recommended against expiring passwords for like a decade already, for example, yet pretty much every IT dept still has passwords expiring at least once a year.

I don't recall Qualcomm trying to buy ARM. That was Nvidia. (though, yes, it likely would also have been prevented if it had tried)

But they'd probably have a better (but still slim) chance of getting a purchase of Intel through. That'd be a more horizontal acquisition than a vertical one as Qualcomm doesn't make x86 chips so they can at least argue it wouldn't be anti-competitive.

They don't mention what the offer is. Very easily could be a stock-based deal where Intel stockholders get a portion of the combined company. That's how T-Mobile bought Sprint.

GenAI = Generative AI

AGI = Artificial General Intelligence

You are talking about the latter. They were talking about the former.

NetSurf is a very barebones browser. It can fill a niche, but is not a daily driver where other options are available.

Firefox everywhere. It's not perfect, but is still the closest a browser gets.

Unless I need a PWA on desktop, then Edge (windows) or ungoogled chromium (linux).

There are, unfortunately, some features banks make mobile app exclusive (e.g. Zelle sometimes, check deposit).

I have a spare phone I keep in my drawer for when I really need a banking app.

Nvidia is diversified in AI, though. Disregarding LLM, it's likely that other AI methodologies will depend even more on their tech or similar.

I guess I don't really see why generative AI is a necessity for a search engine? It doesn't really help me find information any faster than a Wikipedia summary, and is less reliable.

In general — yes. Most of the time they do so by subjecting their eyeballs or ears to ads. Do you think it's a good idea to flood AI models with ads as well?

I think it's unlikely one of those techs "wins" at all. It's relatively easy to support them all from a software perspective and so gamers will just use whichever corresponds to their GPU.

Apple is also being sued by the DOJ for having a monopoly.

They're being sued by the DOJ too.

Only in Nightly and not by default (you need to enable it).

Isn’t the formula for Roman concrete unknown?

Yes, though a lot of research has been done to figure out its most important properties. A secret of its durability was just figured out last year. https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106

The support article explains the rationale.

Unchecked by default would render the experiment useless.
