    Netflix increases prices for all plans by up to $2 per month

    I don't think this is really a matter of "need". But it is easy to understand why they want more money.

    Jeff Bezos throws his hat in the ring for an orbital data center megaconstellation, too

    Actually you do, until you establish a self-sustaining colony and declare independence from Earth. Hmm, I wonder if any billionaires have had that thought?

    Jeff Bezos throws his hat in the ring for an orbital data center megaconstellation, too

    Ok. I didn't know how much a datacenter draws. But I guess 3MW is still a lot for a single installation consisting of just two single CPU computers plus supporting equipment.

    Jeff Bezos throws his hat in the ring for an orbital data center megaconstellation, too

    144 kW is right in the ballpark of what 1950s vacuum tube computers drew. Each IBM-built AN/FSQ-7 installation drew 3MW - so maybe somewhat similar to a datacenter. (nope, smaller than a datacenter)

    Despite hardware limits, Parallels supports running Windows on MacBook Neo

    My daughter had a similar situation. She got an M2 Macbook Pro 16/512 for college a few years ago. Then she switched majors to engineering, which requires Windows for things like Solidworks.

    Despite hardware limits, Parallels supports running Windows on MacBook Neo

    I don’t think anyone is disputing anything in your entire post. The article is just saying that you can run x86-64 Windows on Mac Neo, if you really need to. Not that it would be a great experience.

    FDA links raw cheese to outbreak; Makers “100% disagree,” refuse recall

    This cheese couldn't possibly have been what made these people sick because, raw milk is raw, and therefore healthy, just like raw carrots, raw honey, and raw beef. And since this cheese is made from healthy raw milk, it is surely healthy, and therefore can't make anyone sick.

    Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5’s generative AI glow-ups

    As someone who doesn't play games that would benefit from this, the non DLSS 5 images (in the video as well) look like video game people, whereas the DLSS 5 images look a lot more like real humans. As someone else said, though, even with DLSS 5 turned on, the people still move like video game...

    After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes

    This is good. To make it better, you institute a policy that if a senior engineer signs off on AI code, and then the code causes an outage, the senior engineer is immediately fired.
