Ease of management and surveillance (most such tools marketed at schools are Windows only), first class integration into active directory for user and computer account management, hardware agnostic (rules out macos), and it’s already integrated into the IT team’s systems and processes so switching would be a major effort.

This has been my favourite tech story for the past few years, I hope the train company gets put in its place properly this time.

Microsoft Azure 365 Premium Plus for Business

Microsoft are also toying with renting people cloud desktops they will never own. They’ve already got cloud gaming, and they’re as much in on AI as anyone.

The cartridge is refillable

They also jam at every possible opportunity, the transfer belt stretches, the wheels and gears wear out, any stray toner will create smudges all down the page, and they weigh a tonne.

None of what is considered ‘AI’ is actually AI, it’s just a rebrand of machine learning tech that has been around for a few years now (and is genuinely useful in certain circumstances). It’s all ‘AI’, only the generative AI is worth getting mad about.

Its there to clarify that the journalist wasn’t adding their own opinion to the article, which they are not allowed to do. The word would have to be a quote from someone interviewed in the article or some other official description.

Local ML translation was pretty cool

Similar concepts have been developed before, Microsoft and Southampton University were working on glass cubes with 3D laser etchings in the centre around 2015-16

Evil has no birthplace, it has always existed in all people. Evil was there long before ‘The West’ or ‘Middle East’ were things. Religions don’t cause evil or intolerance, but some religions can be easily used to justify stoning gay people to death, or killing women for daring to be independant. If the bible didn’t command that gay people be murdered, or if Islam didn’t command that apostates be slain, it would be much harder to justify these evil acts. This isn’t a problem of religion, it’s a problem of cultures that take their religion too seriously.

This pressure is coming from the payment providers without whom no storefront can operate. We need alternatives to Visa and Mastercard.

This isn’t a secret plot by systemd, this is gnome making dependency choices and a distro that explicitly doesn’t support the new dependency being left in the cold. That’s just how dependencies work.

Won’t help the software compatibility

They could stop paying their CEO so much and hire a few more devs, refocus their identity on privacy and performance (their offline ai translation is actually really useful), and actually give people the sense that their donations will be well spent.

Asking an llm isn’t research, he might as well have been consulting a magic 8 ball.
