It's been so long since a company reached Facebook's heights and fell that a whole generation doesn't know what it looks like. AOL was the Facebook of its time: a joke to system admins, a default ban on small game servers and

There was a time when you could root an Android phone to install a custom OS by visiting a website that exploited a vulnerability. It's reasonable to assume that's not the only vulnerability of its kind.

You're much less likely to get scammed commissioning an artist to draw a character for you. There's a whole community full of people making and commissioning animal people characters that look way better than any of these NFT cash

It's much slower even with the A12's dedicated cores for this purpose, but I assume that'll improve over time.

Workaround: say hours at the end. I just said "hey Siri, set a reminder for oh nine fourty hours" and it handled the time perfectly by setting it to 9:40 AM.

The IRS already gets this information. They'll get even more with the changes to 1099-k reporting for transactions made next year.

I'm genuinely not sure if the reports I heard of employees being locked out of the systems they need to fix it because their network is down are jokes or true.

It depends on how the pivot to prioritizing video works out. I forget who, but one photography YouTuber mentioned good results from adding the occasional video to their Instagram feed. It also boosted their photos. Not good news for peopl

I imagine the situation will improve in the future with TVs that have one or two on-board cores for handling trained models (like Apple's newer chips) that can run models trained on editorial pan-and-scans and try to apply it as an alt

You can always ship it to the Internet Archive if she doesn't and you can't find a way to maintain an independent copy. Maybe by then you can set up some kind of organization like IA for the replication value.

Leaving a dead small animal will draw out larger animals who see an easy meal and do real damage when they connect. It's bad advice.

It's interesting to watch the continued narrative shift away from the original sales pitch of self-driving as a solution to human fallibility even at low autonomy levels to stuff like "you wouldn't expect a human to do better

They haven't captured the market. It's a highly competitive market even if one currently has a shrinking majority headed toward a plurality. Other manufactures are collectively catching up in sales.

I've never seen a Tesla on the road. I'm not sure they're made in enough quantity or sold across enough geographies and demographics to measure anything technical by collecting anecdotes.
