I'm all for a ban which is simply, "any parent who allows their child to access social media will be sent to the gulag". Problem solved, and with minimal government meddling.

Their marketing is pretty particular, when it suits them. Their actions show something completely different. Everything is about protecting their jailed garden. It took the EU to force them to grudgingly use USB-C.

Wow, that's so amazingly terrible that I'm sure my Australian government is planning it right now.

Can you not see why they might be incentivized to make it unrepairable?

I tried it a couple more times, and it worked on the third try and showed me the green successfully verified message.

On Discord, I got the captcha, but then after it redirected, I got a page saying: {"error":"failed to execute k-id privately action (status=404)"} I'm very much an adult, this whole thing is ridiculous. Ban

I'm ecstatic that I can't afford one of those.

Why bother? Just get NTP time when the power comes back. It's syncing every 15 minutes anyway.

Agreed. What phone would you recommend? I want a flagship phone with a headphone jack. Looks like the only option nowadays is the Asus Rog Phones or Asus Zenfone Ultra.

And how much of your cold hard cash would you be willing to lay down for the free basic AI chat, when they decide they actually want a return from their trillion dollar data center investments?

Surely if Copilot was so useful and great, it wouldn't be free and they wouldn't be trying to force it down unwilling people's throats at every opportunity. I'm beginning to think this AI stuff isn't all it's c

I've done that with both LG OLEDs that I've had.

I have a projector that I never use because I don't like the fan noise. They're great for sports though. Hard to beat an entire wall of screen. I prefer OLED for TV and movies though.

I have an LG OLED and have never seen it go blank on any scene. It just looks great all the time. Especially on scenes like you describe with a dark scene with bright highlights. Campfire scenes look great, space scenes look great. That&#

Gmail is the only thing I wouldn't be able to replace. I've read it's almost impossible to run your own email server without getting blocked by all recipients in 2025.

Call me a dinosaur, but I don't consider a 154Gb download before I can start playing a good first impression. In fact, I would seriously consider even buying a game that big if I knew beforehand. When a 500Gb SSD is $120 Aussie bucks,

Reading a standards spec to understand what the device you paid for does? Straight to jail! Pirating the entire internet to train your AI? That's fair use.

God, that's worrying. I must live in a more rational bubble.

We have 8.3 billion examples of general intelligence alive on the planet right now. Surely an artificial one in a data center, costing trillions and beholden to shareholders, will solve all society's issues!

I guess it's food and exercise. Healthy food is expensive, do things to make that relatively cheaper and thus more appealing. Exercise is expensive, do things to make that relatively cheaper and thus more appealing. Walkable cities are

Don't worry, nobody has any idea of how to build one, and LLMs aren't AGI. They're just trying to replace workers with LLMs.

Anecdotally, I killed two out of two that I was hobby-mining on for a couple of years. They certainly didn't sound like they would work forever.

When I'm forced to use Windows, I now use Powertoys Run. So I press Alt-Space, then type the name of the app. It works SO much better than the abomination that the Start Menu has become... You can even type "%appname" to focu

Does Google pay for your PC, power or internet connection?

I didn't look at the billboards when I was driving today. Did I just pirate my drive to work?

by brokenmachine 10mo ago
Just because you say it's piracy doesn't mean it is. When they provide all the equipment necessary to watch the content, and pay for the internet connection and power to my house, only then will they have a claim to what commands

You're right — I got that wrong. Ah, I misunderstood what you were asking. Good catch — I miscalculated there. You're right — the code I provided won’t run as written. I made an assumption that wasn’t supported by your question. M
