Longtime Verge readers might recall the unusual story of how the music video for a Janet Jackson song, “Rhythm Nation,” could cause certain Windows laptops to crash just by being around when it’s playing. Now, in a blog post spotted by PCWorld, Microsoft employee Raymond Chen has revealed that a filter created to deal with the problem stuck around until “at least Windows 7.”

For those not familiar: in 2022, Chen wrote a pair [of posts](https://dev

Last Friday, Blizzard released a teaser trailer for its upcoming collaboration between Berserk, the acclaimed dark fantasy manga created by Kentaro Miura, and Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal. On Tuesday, Blizzard revealed more details regarding the crossover event, which is set to launch on May 1 for Diablo Immortal and May 6 for Diablo 4.

“Set in a medieval, dark fantasy world, Berserk centers on themes of betrayal, revenge, sacrifice, and monster power,” Blizzard wrote in a [blog post](https://n

Sony has raised the price of most of its PlayStation 5 console hardware in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand by 10-15 percent, blaming “a challenging economic environment.” With rising US import costs thanks to tariffs likely a contributing factor, an equivalent price rise in the US is probably on the way.

Sony manufactures the majority of its PlayStation 5 hardware in China, now subject to 145 percent tariffs on imports into the US, and game consoles aren’t included in the pause on some tech tariffs announced Friday. A price increase in other markets may be a way of limiting how sharply prices will need t

Wrestled with Windows and Nixos-WSL to get the nvidia container toolkit working, and have Nixos managed - gpu powered Ollama running all the time.

Been running this for a few weeks, and so far having WSL/Ollama running constantly hasn't had any drawbacks. No noticeable loss in Windows/gaming performance etc.

Why consolidate communities?

One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. "You don't like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start your own community!" (with or without blackjack and hookers)

However, this is a double-edged sword. The creation of multiple communities on the same (or similar) topics can also fragment the userbase, leading to very sparsely populated communities.

I think until there’s some tool or system that helps collate all the information out here, fragmentation is detrimental to growth.

I’m not going to copy and paste the same comment with every mirrored post.

So sometimes commenting feels like a waste of time.

Centralizing helps ensure that there’s vibrant, consistent discussion which is what Lemmy should be about.

From the ingress:

This post can be considered an advanced Zig tutorial. I will be covering some of the more unique aspects of the language, but won’t be explaining the easy part. If you haven’t read the Zig Language Reference, you might start there. Additionally, we will also learn the foundational trick for implementing relational model.

You will learn a sizable chunk of Zig after this post, but this isn’t going to be an easy read, so prepare your favorite beverage and get comfy!

Hi,

In their recent blog post, Atlassian announced they'll be shutting down Opsgenie on June 4th, 2025. There's currently a heated discussion about this on Hacker News for anyone interested.

If you're affected by this change, I've compiled some of the best open-source alternatives to Opsgenie:

https://openalternative.co/alternatives/opsgenie

This is by no means a complete list, so if you know of any solid alternatives that aren't included, please let me know.

Thanks!

I'm the poster of the AXP-100 Full Copper purchase from Amazon.co.jp. I canceled the order since the product was out of stock and it was not getting delivered.

Below is the log of my search history trying to find a cooler to purchase.

After many hours of research, I wanted to buy the AXP90-X47 or AXP90-X53 from Thermalright ("Limin" translated from Chinese), or the ID-Cooling IS-55. I was guided by many benchmarks like this video, this blog post, and others like the [SFF PC Master List spreadsheet](https://docs.google

I consider myself to be learning haskell. I am proficient enough to solve Advent of Code and do some small projects using it. I love doing it but I always feel like there's more to it. Apparently there is: this blog post from Reasonably Polymorphic caught me, I was probably exactly the intended audience.

What's in the blog post?

They visualize the Builder Pattern, where an Object is created through repeated mutation, which, when transferred to Haskell, should be replaced by creating objects through Monoids and the corresponding Semigroup function <>.

I've been in a fortunate position this past year of having some extra money to throw at shiny new hardware and I've experienced a side of Linux I haven't dealt with before...its poor support for shiny new hardware.

I grabbed a Ryzen 9000 CPU and an X870 motherboard...only to find that ethernet didn't work on kernel 6.11. I had to use a usb-c to ethernet dongle for several weeks until 6.13 released.

Just today and what prompted this post, I splurged on a 4k 240hz HDR monitor. HDR is obviously in-progress and I did not expect it to work out of the box. Critically, what I did expect was for the 240hz part to work, but I couldn't set it to anything beyond 120. Skip forward a couple hours, and I now know what EDID files are and how to use different ones. For more insight on my night, see this issue, this blog post, and [this blog post](https://blog.gora

I got an RPi5 with an NVME hat. I had been planning to boot from NVME and move HA to this device.

The blog post that announced RPi5 support for HA says, "We do recommend using an SD card as the boot medium and using the data disk feature to move most of the Home Assistant installation onto the NVMe." But it doesn't say why.

I found a thread that mentions firmware updates and timing issues. But that's it.

Is there a detailed, definitive source that explains why it's bad to boot HA from NVME on a Raspberry Pi 5?

Google has made an eyebrow-raising claim, saying that its new quantum chip may be tapping into parallel universes to achieve its results.

The search giant recently unveiled a new quantum computer chip, dubbed Willow, which — on a specific benchmark, at least — the company says can outperform any supercomputer in the world.

"Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing," Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven wrote in a blog post announcing the chip. "It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10²⁵ or 10 septillion years."

"This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe," he argued. "It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch."
