I've used a grocery store sticker gun. You just load a roll in and pull the trigger. I bet I could recall 300 butters per minute (BPM). Remember, this is costco, so it's probably a 50 lb cube of butter.

Is this the Tesla sense of the word recall? Do they just slap a "CONTAINS: MILK" sticker on each and consider it successfully recalled? And of course, refund any customer who brings it back, but they do that for any reason already

I wondered how the structure worked too. Technically the Sandy Hook Victims can buy Infowars. All the money they bid would just all come right back to themselves anyway. This article calls it a "joint bid". https://www.

I'm curious where in the US you're from, or where you've seen that. Florida coast? In the cities I've lived, most of the houses were built right after WW2 (80 years ago), and in some older neighborhoods, most of the hous

Exactly what I was wondering. Unlearn = Guardrails? It sounds like they just tweaked the weights very minimally to self-censor, but the tweaks are so fine they don't survive at lower resolutions. But if bypassing the guardrails was so

Ah yes, a government agency dedicated to new business regulations, no lobbyists involved writing those. That's why "over the top" is still a common term for "internet based", we didn't all have to google the ar

I can't tell what a "great" housing market is defined as in this article. I don't own a house, so to me, house prices decreasing is "great".

There's a lot of FUD about Recall. Recall was always opt-in. Windows 11 24H2 installs the feature for everyone by default, in the same way Japanese might be installed for everyone by default. It's there, but not on until you opt i

Can you though? Harry Potter is information too. You can't legally print your own copy of Harry Potter and lend it out at a library. Libraries could save a lot of money if they could do that.

I'm glad I'm skilled enough for this to not annoy me. I'm using a cheapo CPU from 2010 and a $7 TPM 2.0 module plugged into my motherboard. Elden Ring runs fine on a GTX 970 from ebay for $30. Windows 11 has been happy for ye

Reminds me a bit of the MBTI personality test, where they make up 4 types of question to arbitrarily split the population, so 2x2x2x2 = 16 subtypes. It's true by it's own definition. Which is fine, but are these particular arbitra

I hear a Muni bus stop nearby, and a lot of voices at 3AM, so I am guessing it's near bars, maybe Mission street. Maybe a pole near enough to an apartment fire escape to ziptie a solar panel. I wonder if the timestamps are accurate eno
