Wired is absolutely superior but the fact is most people don’t care. There is an entire generation of people that grew up ripping audio from YouTube and could not care less about lossless or latency issues with wired headphones. The industr

If you see no difference then you are simply ignorant There is plenty to criticize the left for but they take out their own trash, often to their detriment. Al Franken for example lost his seat over a dumb pic of his hover hands. Meanwhile

The bulletproof truck that can’t withstand a baseball toss The amphibious vehicle that traps its passengers inside to die The self driving car with the awareness of wile-e-coyote This is the dictionary definition of film-flam. All yours for

Yes this is the latest in a series of publicly desperate moves. One can only imagine how much panic is going on behind the scenes. Buying TSLA amidst this turmoil is clearly a bad investment

This is not his first rodeo trashing a wildly successful brand. When will the board wake up? I guess they never will as his own relatives are board members. He should never be allowed to head a company again after his performance with Twitt

Best way to move on is to find another role. Tough to do that when everyone is getting laid off and the market is bleak. So if you can’t move on, getting support like this is probably the next best thing

That’s quite a tale you were told. As a parent I can tell you my children barely even remember being 3yo, let alone have the ability to reach the shelves and pour their own beverages at that age

What exactly are you suggesting? Japan is a monoculture and strictly traditional, not to mention very xenophobic. Everything works because the social penalties for violating those norms are severe. It’s effectively an ethnostate and not tha

SiriusXM is not just the radio programming. They’re the service provider for a lot of OEMs data connection. If your head unit has any features like traffic, weather etc, it’s likely via a partnership with Sirius https://www.siriu

She entered the country and knowingly violated the terms of entry. She did so knowing the country was being taken over by the most vocal anti-immigration administration in generations. I feel bad for her, but not _that_ bad. Again, when I&#

And? She violated the terms of her visa. That's illegal. She was detained at the border because of this. I agree that 10 days in lockup feel excessive for this, but I honestly, as someone who has traveled and crossed many borders, I ha

If she was staying in Portland with a family doing chores (aka work) in exchange for housing (aka compensation) then I’m pretty sure that’s illegal. Add to this the 4mo trip on a 90 day tourist visa and I would expect nothing less than dete

That doesn’t make it legal, particularly in the US

I traveled quite a bit at one point and it was beaten into my head repeatedly that you never mention work unless you have a work visa It was acceptable to say you were there for a day for a “meeting” but that was still a touchy subject they

The sell off is not due to anyone trading up for the newer model; those aren’t selling either. It’s folk selling off what they have because the value is in free fall so they need to get what they can before the value drops even further.

Yeah I just can’t grok discord as a replacement for message boards It’s a chat system. It’s a very nice IRC but how are you supposed to get up to speed? I’m also feeling super out of touch with folk who use telegram as social media. No way

I’m really trying to pull back from that habit because I simply can’t tell what is legit discourse anymore In my golden era of message boards the worst you had to deal with were trolls or bad actors but today you simply don’t know who is an

Not to hold water for billionaires, but do you think that the U.S. government has the expertise to compete effectively with industry? A decade ago, palantir was competing to win a contract for a system to compete directly with DCGS-A https

Those models aren’t in this database. I have an Nw-a45 and agree it’s fantastic. Cheap, excellent Bluetooth streamer, forever battery life, and most importantly no mobile OS. The downside is you need to manage a library like it’s 2005 again

It was not that long ago that solving a maze was thought of as AI. Or a bot in a video game adapting to your play style was AI. Today, LLMs being trained to output text, images and video equal to or better than any human is now what we cons

This is a dumb take. Being able to add additional charges on top of the already illegal car theft charge is useful for a number of reasons. First, a “throw the book at them” approach leads to easier convictions via plea deals and the abilit

Yeah that’s true. Movies and TV would not be very engaging if the characters were doing real life stuff like walking around face down barely aware of anyone around them. So we depict this romantic view where the phone can do everything we n
