It can literally resurrect 10 year old computers.

I’ve got a 14-year-old Toshiba that I used in college that runs a weird variant of Ubuntu called Kumander (it’s designed specifically to look and feel like Windows 7, which I think is properly nostalgic for the hardware). As long as you don’t expect the battery to last more than an hour (which about par for the course for a laptop from then) it’s perfectly serviceable as a SOHO-type machine.

Also it can double as a self-defense weapon cause it weighs like 10 lbs.

This is exactly how YouTube’s DMCA takedown system works, and how media companies have been abusing it since it’s inception. Someone claims copyright on your video, and Google immediately takes it down. You then can contest the claim and Youtube will put it back up. But the claimant can contest your contest, and Google will then tell you that you can’t have it up and have to settle in court with the claimant. Oh, and you get a strike to boot.

The whole process is automated, because there’s so much content now it’s impractical for every single takedown request to be addressed by a human. And because there is no punishment for bad-faith takedown requests, there is no incentive for the claimants to ensure their IP is really being infringed.

Edit: one interesting thing about their mobile app is when you use the GPS for directions, it changes where the audio comes from depending on what your next direction is. If your next is “turn left” then the instructions come from your left-side car audio.

Also, assuming the Ops are closer than the max length of the cable, you can fly it in circles or backtracks to make tracing it that much harder.

They want it to be okay to say the N-word in public again. They’ve absolutely still been saying it; they just don’t want to be ostracized for doing so.

Not just VW; lots of European brands (and some American!) have successfully managed to atone (or bury, depending on how charitable you feel) their actions before and during WWII.

If a company is older than a century, look at their history and see how many of them kinda pretend they didn’t exist from 1930-1945.

He didn’t meet Vance though.

Gotta hurt poor Vance that one of the Pope’s last acts on earth was to reject him. 😂

Lol I don’t disagree, but I’m lazy and on Boost it’s easier to just quote-reply the whole comment instead of editing it down.

Have a splendid day yourself!

I didn’t sound like a centralized system from the article. More like they want a third party like Verisign or something.

It’s going to be both. Bluesky will verify users, but they’re also going to have other authorized verification entities.

From what I’ve seen, there will be two distinct types of blue check- users verified by Bluesky will have one mark, and users verified by a trusted authority will have a different mark.

Now who will those third-party verifiers be, and how will they be selected, hasn’t been announced yet.

Right now, venture capital investments - same as all tech starts out.

How it’ll monetize to become self-sufficient remains to be seen.

I intentionally misspelled Richard Pryor’s name, as a joke response to him saying George Carling instead of George Carlin.

Wanted to make sure the joke didn’t die in case he saw the mistake and edited it. 😂

Okay, so not that I think cops deserve fairness, but in fairness…

If she had an extremely strong devotion to her community and a sense of duty to those people, I could see how that would add a layer of grief and guilt on top of her son being an attempted mass murderer.

But given that her son had access to at least one of her weapons, I’m not certain that she’s any different from the rest of the pro-gun-toting rules-don’t-apply-to-us that most of the “blue lives” are.

I’m out of thoughts and prayers. How about some jokes or a riddle?.. George Carling was the greatest!

Not as good as Richard Prior!

Depends on how you define “predicted”.

If you meant “made the most logical guess using all available data” then no, he didn’t do that.

But if you meant “pulled an impossible sales number out of a ketamine-laced shit from his lumpy asshole that wildly overestimated how popular he and his ‘truck’ are” then I’d say you’re correct!

It would absolutely not surprise me if Teslas calculate miles driven via GPS instead of tire rotation or some other mechanical means.

It’s the kind of “reinventing the wheel, only worse and more expensive” that Musk would do.

Given his track record with real rockets and real rocket scientists, I would consider it a win for him to make it off the launchpad and back in one piece. 😂

No, he cares for Twitter.

SpaceX lets him pretend he’s some great tech genius, but Twitter is what gives him the validation he craves. All the pro-Elon bots and stans there who fellate him feed his narcissistic desire to be loved.

That’s why he “sold” Twitter to xAI. So if Tesla does tank hard enough and he gets margin called, he can’t be forced to sell Twitter to cover it.

It’s been a minute, but off the top of my head:

• The story was ass.
• Not enough content for a “live service” game.
• Enemy levels scaled heavily with your gear level, so better gear didn’t make you feel any more powerful.
• The stats system for the gear was trash. Like, equipping one piece of high level gear and then keeping your starting gear for everything else was legitimately better than trying to get BiS for all of your gear.
• Gear had randomly generated buffs, and those might buff other gear. But sometimes it would you would get a drop for something your class could equip (not every class could use every weapon, for example) but with buffs to a weapon your class couldn’t use.
• For a game that was essentially “be Iron Man” they included an overheat mechanic so you couldn’t just fly wherever you wanted.

Anthem was a really great idea for a game that had an absolutely terrible execution.

Tesla could literally never sell another car again, and it wouldn’t matter as long as people continue to buy the stock.

It’s been wildly over priced for a very long time, so clearly the people who are keeping it afloat aren’t interested in whether the company is actually profitable or not.
