I've spent multiple hours on the phone trying to find someone that takes my insurance. Go to the insurance company web site. Several years ago a law was passed requiring insurance companies to keep their provider lists accurate and u

I really have no idea what you're talking about. With that level of snap hostility toward strangers online, maybe talk to your doctor about upping your meds.

Read the article. I did, thanks. I don't need you to tell me to do that. The common thread is that they both see AI as a threat. It's a different threat to each side, but still a threat. Just because they see different threats

Like if its true it can't be hype I was kind of leaning toward thinking all the talk of doom was a bunch of self-serving regulatory-capture hype until this morning when the New York Times ran a long story about the Chinese military i

I don't recall any other company offer such service for consumer electronics. Then recall that premium silver, especially items given as presents, are very often engraved, and have been for hundreds of years. Apple is a premium brand

Healthcare industry here. I couldn't drop IE6 until COVID. Lots of doctors offices and others were still running it. But when the virus slashed our staff, we finally got permission to drop the extra work of supporting IE.

what's the reason banning minors? Is AI bad for mental health? I simply don't understand how you can ask that question unless you fall into one of these categories: 1. You live in a place with no access to any news source wh

The things we need to know most, RAM and Memory Bandwidth, are unfortunately missing from the release. Their absence doesn't bode well. Since 1984, Apple has targeted regular people, not spec nerds. You're not the market.
