The distinction is pretty important if you actually want to correctly identify the package in question, which is called elementary-data. I don't know where "element-data" came from, but it would be good if Ars fixed that.

We break with that model all the time, though. Think about software CI jobs: Each run starts by spinning up a virtual machine from a base image. Then it goes about the tasks of installing the necessary software to build & test the code. It does so, and then immediately throws everything away...

I could've told you that for free. Since they won the franchise wars, all restaurants are Taco Bell.

If you replace ChatGPT with Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, JD Vance, and others... yes! They've been gaslighting him to greatness very publicly for years.

I feel really bad suggesting this NOW (because it's almost certainly too little, too late), but if you replaced your old LG TV with a new LG TV and thought the remote on the old one was better, you probably could've kept that old remote and used it with the new TV. It's pretty rare for...

As said, some of these "innovations" — a remote with buttons on it, just like we had in the Before Times! — could be useful to everyone, which causes me to have an especially cynical reaction to LG introducing a new, expensive offering that UNDOES an unnecessary change they made to their product...

If he's getting nutritional advice from ChatGPT, arguably the psychosis predates that interaction.

That is one plastic-ass looking support arm, and makes me worry about its long-term reliability. I mean, even IBM has had disastrous runs with ThinkPad hinges (back when they were still built by IBM), and they looked a lot less cheapy than that thing's only link to the physical world.

"Purple dragons in *snazzy *purple suits." While JAKELAW is obviously REALDUM, why are we not acknowledging the dragon's fantastic drip?

The physcial controls don't really look as cheap and plasticky as they appear in this photo, do they? I'm assuming/hoping that's just a trick of the light. Because, in the photo that looks like a game "controller" you'd find packaged with some drugstore knockoff Taito LCD game, if such things...

In terms of achieving its goal of providing the primary dashboard display for the driver (or, more to the point, failing to in any coherent fashion), I'mma christen it an "instrument clusterf*ck".

I suppose it's possible, but if so then it's a pretty poor trial. A so-called "Pro Trial" is typically expected to tease you with the full Pro-subscription experience, in the hope that you'll choose to pay for it once the trial ends. Would you pay for this experience?

They (meaning, their ilk, not Elsevier exclusively — but most certainly, Elsevier among the culprits) certainly do seem to be on the front lines of perverting the academic ideal of published research that's intended to contribute to the sum of all human knowledge, for the benefit of all...

MOTHERF----. I am unreasonably distracted by poor copy editing. I can't help it. I see an "it's" instead of "its", or someone claiming that they have "three reasons" we should accept their argument, only to give four, and that's all I can think about -- I can't unsee it. I've gotten better at...

I'm all for the pull of nostalgia, and builds like that are truly impressive, but... well, I guess it would partly come down to how much discretionary cash you have to throw around on something like that. If you can afford it, and it seems interesting to you, what's the harm? The truly pathetic...

See Eric Giler's original TED talk on WiTricity: https://youtu.be/y1GqNN2Xe7g He walks between the sending pad and the phone that's being powered off it, and at least doesn't immediately keel over. Though, he's rarely heard from anymore, so make of that what you will. (Kidding, they claim it's...

You raise an interesting point. Are these researchers (society's ultimate outside-looking-in observers) just inflicting these mice with the FOMO they feel? Ostracism loves company, even more than misery does. I'm not saying these researchers are going to graduate right to implanting dopamine...

If you don't, you're missing out!

Other than Netgear, I've never even heard of the MANUFACTURERS / Brands.

Is that based on anything concrete, or is it just that the only devices _reported_ vulnerable by the researchers all happen to be combo units? Because, any modem will have a spectrum analyzer, and most modems also listen on 192.168.100.1. I know mine does. Sure, EXPLOITING a dumb modem may not...
