"[...] In exchange for a waiver of fees accrued since 2023"

Sounds like Oracle got them with the good 'ol "buy an even bigger license or we'll sue you"

I would assume the radiographer working in the ER sees a lot more foreign-body-up-the-butt cases than the one working in a cardiologists office.

Also I've never had a specialist take my dental X-rays, it's always the hygienist or dentist

There are low powered FM transmitters you can get for your car

FM transmitter plugs into cigarette lighter for power

iPod connects to FM transmitter via AUX cord

You tune your cars radio to whatever frequency the transmitter is set to, and it plays whatever your iPod is playing

Your computer is a bunch of parts that need software to make them work. The "operating system" handles talking to the hardware directly, while the programs you run only talk to the operating system. Talking to the operating system is easy, talking to the hardware is difficult, since you may need to speak a hundred different languages to work with every possible network card, sound card, graphics card, etc.

The operating systems you have probably heard of are windows and macOS. Linux is a 3rd one.

Windows is owned by Microsoft, macOS is owned by Apple, and Linux is developed by the community and (typically) released for free. Since anyone can work on Linux, there are tons of different versions of it floating around, that are all slightly different from one another.

Noooooooo

Newfoundland is "Newfoundland Time", NOT "Atlantic Standard Time"

NL has a half hour time difference from the rest of Atlantic Canada

But AMD has been making leaps and bounds improving their GPU software

They are still largely shitting the bed here. Their ROCm installer won't run on Ubuntu 25.04 last time I checked, and the 9070xt won't work on OSs that ROCm DOES support because the kernel and graphics stack is too old.

ROCm has been "almost ready" to be a drop-in replacement for CUDA for almost a decade. I feel like it literally would take nvidia ceasing to exist to give them the critical mass to push it over the finish line

It's the best time I've had with a game since BG3 - gameplay is 'just' good, but the story and design are next level

It's a government institution that is set up like a normal corporation, but with the government as the shareholder. If that's not an ass backwards way of providing an essential service I don't know what is.

Counterpoint: by operating at arm's length it can't be steered on a whim by a sitting government, e.g. like DeJoy grinding USPS to a half during the 2020 election. Same can be said about CBC

TIL WizKids uses real Kids for labor

Snow tires are mandatory in Montreal too - so you can't even blame it on all seasons or bare treads (they would have just been changed over)

Ah, yeah it is.

The "sign up to read this article" pop-up on mobile obscures literally everything except the article title and yesterday's date for me, so I assumed it would have been about yesterday's Eurovision final lol

Didn't watch this year, but got the impression this was happening last year as well. Whenever there was ANY mention of Israel by the hosts, the audio became murky, then crystal clear all of a sudden because they had to cut the audience track out completely.

I feel like they must have had a separate room/section mic'd up specially for "Israel applause"
