Until next week. Some distractions are better than others, but this shit ain’t going away.

It’s like a Chromebook, but for Windows. Only it doesn’t run Windows. Please buy our garbage.

This is an obvious marketing exercise to promote their noai subdomain.

Being senile and cruel isn’t an agenda

Because in the USA, private individuals don’t have meaningful access to the legal system. Realistically, the best you could possibly hope for in a case like this would be a settlement in a class action where every Windows 10 user who’s willing to jump through a bunch of hoops ends up with a seven dollar check in half a decade.

They’ve really painted themselves into a corner with their AI investments. It’s starting to look like the total addressable market is a small fraction of what they’d need to break even on their atrociously ill-advised investments into the sector, and now they’re becoming increasingly desperate to shoehorn a technology that nobody wants into everything they can.

Literally everybody who has an inkling of an idea of what’s going on in the AI space knows how this ends, but somehow the board and c-staff at MSFT are not counted amongst the inkling havers. In a few years they’re going to have to write off countless billions that they’ve wasted on this idiocy and nobody will be surprised but them.

I mean no, but that’s probably because Spock mind melted it out of my brain too

Okay, so there’s two shows from the nineties about shopping malls in space. . .

We’re doomed. If 51% of the country has decided, based on a neverending stream of lies, that we should all die rather than receive basic health care, then there’s really nothing much left to argue about. America has has decided it would rather commit suicide than acknowledge that there are people who DO know what they’re talking about and actually listen to them.

That’s it. We’re done. We’re all gonna die of some easily preventable plague because we didn’t fucking ostracize these idiots twenty years ago. The country is now run by the people who actually believe the comical lies the GOP used to tell to keep the idiots compliant. I don’t think you can come back from that.

Headline is misleading. The commander of Israel’s tech intelligence unit doxxed himself. Which makes you wonder how he got to be the commander of Israel’s tech intelligence unit.

A propos of nothing, I hear the rich taste like pork.

Red Bull’s increasingly quixotic quest to find a second person who can successfully operate the RB21 proceeds apace.

MBS is a stain on humanity. Not because of this, but this is profoundly stupid. If he’s considering abolishing the cost cap because the bureaucracy is hard, he might as well do away with weight limits, fuel regulations, and track limits. All of those things are hard to keep track of. They require cameras and scales and accountants and all of that costs money and effort, so he figures, ‘let’s do away with it’, not realizing that without all of that shit, the FIA is just a logo and a wikipedia entry.

This might get a bit spicy. Probably not the conditions the rookies dreamt of, for their debut race.

Isack Hadjar has entered the chat

He stuck around this long and even though he’s Bill fucking Shatner, it’s hard to say he doesn’t deserve one last ride. I just wish he’d played it more gracefully these last 30 or so years.

It’s not illegal to download books without yourself offering them for upload. What’s illegal is when you feed those books into your reality devouring content monster and it outputs all that copyrighted content in a slightly different order and you profit off that content vomit.

Just pass a law that prevents the government using the word ‘sinking’, ban research into subsidence and, for good measure, disallow local governments from providing sand bags. Problem solved Florida style.

It’s pretty, but it was built for purely practical reasons. This is an old towpath, and the bridge is designed in such a fashion that horses towing barges can switch sides without having to unhitch.

In case you were wondering, they’re saying that Apple doesn’t outsource its design. It outsources its fabrication like nobody’s business. I always kinda thought that’s what outsourcing meant, but apparently there are companies that neither design nor fabricate their products. I guess their core competency is just taking the money.

I crave singe damage!
