According to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html, Java 8 Extended Support will end in December 2030

The problem is some authors signing exclusivity deal with Amazon, which means breaking the DRM and converting it is the only way to read it on a different e-reader.

It is a single address with an associated subnet mask, indicating what subnet the address is in.

The subnet would be 3fff:a1:1ab:bc67::/64, for the top one.

Looks like it’s taken a page from PowerShell in passing structured data rather than just text.

If you’re running Wine on a case-sensitive file system, and you it tries to open a file, it would first try to open a file whose case matches exactly. But if it doesn’t find one, it would then need to list all the files in the directory, normalize their case, and go through them all to see if there is a file with the given name but in a different case. That can take some time if there is a lot of files in the directory.

But if you’re on a case-insensitive filesystem, the FS can keep case-normalized names of all files on disk, so you can do a case-insensitive open just as fast as you can do a case-sensitive open.

BTW, another application that can benefit from this is Samba, since SMB is case-insensitive.

It does, but having case insensitivity in the file system can get you better performance.

It isn’t normally, but it, like e.g. Ext4, allows case insensitivity mostly for the sake of Wine.

Kobo store, Google Play Books, and various other places (here in Sweden for example we have Bokus and Adlibris) have Epub downloads. Usually with Adobe Digital Editions DRM (which you can get rid of pretty easily with DeDRM, or alternatively Kobo tablets support Digital Editions), but some books are sold DRM free, or with LCP DRM which I don’t have experience with. Something I’ve noticed at least on Bokus is that many books in Swedish are sold as DRM free Epubs with watermarks, even if they’re translated from an English version which is sold with DRM on the same store, though that’s probably not relevant for people in other regions.

It’s not a daemon

We’ve been without a lot of things for millennia

No, they just include libarchive in Windows

I’ve only gotten that when I’ve mistyped the encryption password. They really should improve the handling of that.

This is something that Rust is specifically designed to prevent.

Not sure if Google Lens counts as AI, but Circle to Search is a cool feature.

Not to the point where it’s worth having a button for it permanently taking up space at the bottom of the screen.

On a lot of phones you can hide the navigation pill, but Samsung started forcibly showing it when they added Circle to Search. Fortunately I don’t have a Samsung phone.

They’re also generally lower quality

A big blocker that the article surprisingly doesn’t talk about is tons of IoT stuff that uses 2G and 3G. Stuff like alarm systems, emergency phones, street light control, cars etc. Here in Sweden there was recently a report that thousands of elevators have emergency phones using 2G and 3G, and if the network is shut down you would no longer be allowed to use those elevators. And since 2018 all new cars in the EU has to have eCall, which alerts emergency services on a crash. Many of these use 2G and 3G, and if it stops working the car won’t pass inspection so you’ll no longer be allowed to drive it.

It’s not even that, there are multiple languages spoken in the same region. Webpages should just use the language the browser tells it to use.

A robot doesn’t need to be anthropomorphic, an assembly line robot is still a robot. It does however need to be able to perform some actions autonomously, for which a vibrator hardly qualifies.

Yes, it says so in the first paragraph

Still doesn’t allow background playback though, so it’s useless to me
