Many people are inherently lazy so it stands to reason that given an easy out they will take it. Only a fool trusts critical advice without checking it. It appears that there are a lot of fools out there.

And then Trump closes the Straight of Hormuz and ev sales increase. The question is whether Tesla gets a boost.

It and its sibling are probably the only working examples of flywire memory left in existence. That memory with little ferrite cores threaded with 3 wires was very labour intensive to make but was the backbone of the entire computing industry at the time. Very solid and reliable.

I thought the law said that inadvertent collection has to be deleted asap not that you forfeited your rights.

I suppose you could operate an iPhone without a credit card but I don’t know how common that would be as it does complicate using the App Store etc.For most people it would be business as usual.

I’ll have to ask around. My kids are too old to have had the option and the grandkids are too young. 🤔

Most Apple accounts need a credit card attached. If kids have a phone then it will need a credit card. As you need to be 18 in many countries to get a credit card then for kids to use a phone they will need the parents card. I fail to see how this helps age verification.

Maybe Gitlab is worth a look.

In another Whitehouse there would be an investigation but not the in the grifter’s place.

Protectionism at its finest! What should the rest of the world make of US consumer routers? All good? No backdoors letting friendly people in?

Thousands of targets fully vetted as being accurate and ethical? Is this going to be one of those wars that no admits to being part of due to the crimes and failures?

Then Trump is not guilty of fraud because he was only misusing the system that capitalism gave him. Nah, he’s guilty because he chose to commit the crime. Should the system be different, yes.

The same thing here. The man is not addicted to a substance, he saw an opportunity and went for it. Should the system have allowed him? No, however that’s how it is at the moment.

The LLM approach is not likely to actually provide a way forward. It can’t tell crap from good, only deals in information that exists and not generate new useful knowledge and is prohibitively expensive. A failure just rolling along.

Well today is a sellers market! A war in the gulf, Operation Epstein Fury, is just what the public needs to make EVs more affordable and attractive.

The article says he took money from the pool that pays actual artists. The fraud was against them not specifically Spotify. Personally, I think Spotify, Netflix, Amazon are abominations in the way they use their control to defraud suppliers and customers alike and should be reigned in but ripping off what little artists get is bad. Not victimless.

We are getting to the point where a Butlerian jihad will be necessary. Though shalt not make a machine in the image type vibe. The arts exist for people to explore and enjoy.

This criminal is guilty of fraud, similar to Trump. Cunningly he did it in a way that was not easily detectable. How many others are now considering ways to do something similar. So to make a personal decision not to use AI is not going to affect these fraudsters.

How are these people planning to drive? The cost of fuel is excruciating! If it wasn’t because of Operation Epstein Fury, driving may have been an option.

I don’t use these things much and I have asked the same question of ChatGPT and DeepSeek with comparable results. Given all the surveillance and theft in the US tech industry, the Chinese have to be worth a run.

$96US to build a 3D printed Stinger shoulder launched missile and now mail ordered drones. Things aren’t looking good.

I see a lot more hoodies and face masks in our future.
