Cool, I chose a brand-new T580 from the factory in 2018. I had nowhere near the resource demands that you have, so I am happy to be chugging along with the i5, 128GB SSD, 16GiB RAM. Two upgrades I probably didn't even need are a touchs

Nevermind Getty, I wonder how contributors who use Creative Commons licenses will feel. Anyone who's uploaded to Flickr, or Wikimedia Commons, or even YouTube could be victimized by AI generation. The AI will launder the content just l

Well, the problem we deal with today is that parents--actually medical professionals--choose death for children rather than allow them to live out their lives. Zero children with Down Syndrome are born in Iceland. Why? Because physicians wo

Last week I was picked up by a bus that had technically already departed, so the operator told me to take a seat quickly. I really needed to test out the mobile fare for the pilot project, so I waited for the next opportunity to scan the QR

During the COVID outbreak, my public transit provider began to neglect their fareboxes (partly because everyone was boarding in the rear and didn't bother to pay fares anyway.) I noticed that the boxes were still broken and unmaintaine

Surprise ending: a favorable review of OpenID. With the introduction of a dystopian video game and the description of confusing, tortuous rules, I never expected this to be a sub rosa advertisement for OpenID's simple, flexible, and
