Seriously, who are they expecting to pay for that? AI vision detection run against _every image every person sends to anyone_, among other things, will get ridiculously expensive. Half of the reason Microsoft is pushing "AI PCs"

I don't like that either. Fortunately that only seems to be on their <=65% Alice layout keyboards. Which is a small form factor I really don't like anyway. Their >=75% Alice layouts include the tilda and are still pretty co

Most dystopias have some very small percentage of the population for which it's a utopia. I'm sure some of the people designing and building such dystopias like to imagine they'll belong to that small utopian part of it and d

Mainly this was just myself getting irritated at MS Teams and trying to figure out what it was doing. It was a couple years ago and my current company doesn't use teams, thankfully, so I can't really see if its still valid. From

Well damn, if only political bribery hadn't been legalized by Bush's supreme court, the knowledge of this getting out could actually matter.

Small American towns used to have train stations, even in the middle of nowhere. They enabled factories and other industrial work. Then the trains would go away, and the factories would die, or it would happen the other way around. Then

You literally couldn't go anywhere, at this point. At least, not very far. A mile or two maybe, in a rural area? A decade ago, maybe you could avoid being tracked if you took only back roads in the country and avoided towns and citie

I don't disagree that it's bad, but this article seems to give the impression that this is new. TLO (owned by TransUnion since 2014) has been selling this stuff since the 2000s. Basically, assume any parking lot or other surveill

It's worth noting that in some cases it might be cheaper to outright purchase a CPAP machine online than to get a diagnosis via a sleep study. I got a sleep study about a decade ago, having to go in first for diagnosis and then to eval

I hate P-cores and E-cores. It feels like they're not trying to improve performance, and instead are just searching after the marketing for ever-higher numbers of cores. This of course backfires once people realize it doesn't mat

We have laws against foreign ownership of broadcast TV and radio. Our legal system already acknowledges that foreign ownership of the media is a bad thing that should be prevented. The problem is that these laws haven't been updated
