They’re mostly all national security threats, especially with Elon and Putin having a special relationship.

I would for more niche stuff, but I’m guessing my instance would defederate from it.

Yes, I’ll take one Dell Pro Max Premium please. Heck, while we’re it, please make it a Dell Pro Max Premium Ultra Deluxe with Extra Sprinkles.

Specifics?

It’s a great idea for a way to encourage donations to these projects.

Also, they handle multiple orders. So, by the time you get your food it’s lukewarm at best, but likely cold and soggy.

Last time I checked out of curiosity, this Mexican place near me sells burritos for $12. After fees and tips, it would’ve been $28 on Uber Eats. It’s just not worth it to me to pay extra, when I can easily drive the 10 minutes myself.

Basically, the point is, Rupert Murdoch is no business man. He is pushing an agenda.

I agree USB-C is small enough, but micro and mini usb were not reversible. I don’t think Apple was intentionally making cables that fell apart easily. I agree that they did, but I don’t think it had some profit motive behind it. Apple makes dumb design decisions some times because their designers like certain looks or materials. I just honestly think the designers liked the material of the cable and its feel. It was admittedly nice, but it just falls apart within a year of everyday use. Now they’ve changed to a cloth material.

Better to hire “a one hit wonder”

Seems like a bit of an overreaction. The complaint you’re making is about the cable not the connector. The cable can still fray near the tip with a USB-C given enough wear and tear.

The lightning connector was great for its time, moving Apple devices off the giant serial connectors present on the iPod and early iPhone. In comparison, the lightning connector was small, reversible, and durable. It’s still even smaller than USB-C today.

If you’re just wondering about time zones — not many advantages: the stock market is already moving at 6am and closes in the early afternoon. If you have east coast family, they’ll text you when you’re asleep in the morning. Then, when you have time to text them at night, they’ll be asleep. Big events like presidential debates and addresses start when you’re just leaving work or commuting, so you tend to miss out on them.

I think the interesting thing about the Barbie movie was its “IP” holder basically acknowledging that a lot of the current generation thinks its product is toxic.

You’ll have ads and be paying soon enough

A lot of TnC’s have opt out forced arbitration. I do often read the TnC’s and follow the steps to opt out. It’s often as tedious as possible, like writing a letter, printing, and mailing it. Really depends though on whether it is some service I think I’ll be using often and that could have big negatives from not opting out like my bank account.

But OpenAI has received more than $13 billion in funding from Microsoft over the years, and that money has come with a strange contractual agreement that OpenAI would stop allowing Microsoft to use any new technology it develops after AGI is achieved

The real motivation is to not be beholden to Microsoft

Reminds me of freshman year in college… people would sneak into each others rooms and put it up on each other’s computers, trying to see if they could set a record for most spins.

A lot of metal heads I’ve known don’t use drugs or alcohol and some of them are vegans.

Most of these robots are backed by humans working remotely

The problem with ads is advertisers want to be able to target specific groups of people, which means the platform needs to violate your privacy to get that information.
