“national security”. On Facebook. Okay guys. A better title would be "Zuck offered to completely legally sell their data (yes it’s their’s , read the ToS) to China in a completely legal bid to gain entry into China. It’s not even alleged that he broke any laws.

The real problem is that the US doesn’t have any digital data privacy laws, so ToSs for these services can contain whatever the host wants, and they can do whatever they want with the data. But that will never happen.

It still amazes me that all of those investors and endorsers were so dazzled by her sales pitch that nobody bothered to actually get confirmation of any of the technical details. They just believed…that’s it.

Someone somewhere is already asking whether a CEO’s job can be done by AI.

It happened with Snakes on a Plane too. Everyone was waiting to cheer when SLJ said that one line. Cool vibes.

They’ll have it lobotomized in a few days.

Okay but have you ever tried just throwing genAI at the problem and not caring about the consequences?

I got the head unit changed in my Subaru . In the Subaru, the systems that the Head Unit controls (entertainment system, backup cam, Sat NAV) are totally separate from critical systems. So everything the head unit controls can fail and the car will still work.

And you’re right, there’s an interface/translation layer . In my case the guy used an iDataLink Maestro. It seems the only thing the iDataLink company does provide interfaces that allow head units to talk to car computers, so that the Head unit manufacturers don’t have to bother.

I’m not sure such separation is common in EVs.

You guys ever feel like everything should just be deprecated? Like fuck everything and start over?

This is why I wouldn’t put it past them to try to hide the real sales numbers. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re down 90+ percent and the company is effectively dead already. The board of directors are Elon’s creatures and their personal wealth will depend on keeping the facade (and stock price) up so they aren’t about to cry foul.

I used 2.2.1 well into the last decade. Every version after that was either pointless or full of some sort of malware.

Pressing “Launch” is the same whether you’re in Epic or Steam. I have like 40 games on epic and I’ve paid them exactly $0. In the same time I spent quite a bit on Steam. It’s hard to see what value Epic is getting out of me from this.

They get away with it because they don’t have serious competition and the reason for that is that allowing anyone to upload videos for free, to be viewed by anyone else for free, is by itself not a viable business model.

Please. Paper is modern nonsense and I won’t have our society polluted by it. Papyrus or stone tablets only.

I haven’t seen that episode in probably 15 years and I still remember exactly what this was.

The existence of scalpers means demand exceeds supply. Pricing them this high is a countermeasures against scalpers…in that Nvidia wants to make the money that scalpers would have made .

My dad had a 286 with a 40MB hard drive in it. When it spun up it sounded like a plane taking off. A few years later he had a 486 and got a 2gb Seagate hard drive. It was an unimaginable amount of space at the time.

The computer industry in the 90s (and presumably the 80s, I just don’t remember it) we’re wild. Hardware would be completely obsolete every other year.

He holds the distinction of fighting in the most comically lopsided boss fights ever filmed. Arnold circa 1984 vs my neighbor Larry who always lets me borrow his ladder and smokes a mean brisket while drinking 12 beers.

I hope they own Jones’ likeness to the point where they can give DJs the rights to remix his shouts into something of value.
