This deep in the comments, probably nobody cares, but my oldest (longest? Known him 50 years) bought an iphone Air, "This phone is for people like me, lots of money, form over function". Can't argue with that.

Sometime in the future, "The first and second LOV were tragic. The third was a farce."

Here in Australia we have a tendency to favour consumers -- if you advertise a product and don't deliver? That's usually a problem for the seller not the consumer. Sure, there may be some legal malarky, but in general, expect it to not end well for Tesla (AU). What won't help Tesla, is that for...

I love rally driving, the races are from Point A to Point B. But, circuit racing, where it's Point A to Point A? You can skip a whole lot of effort by not even leaving the grid! To drag this post to something approaching the topic, hiding a sport behind a paywall is dangerous, you can lose your...

Asking for a friend, what should I, I mean they, do with all their old drives? I mean we've all got a pile of old drives, right?

And that's what everyone says about your Mom! (It's okay, I'll show myself out).

I know the funding normally heads the other direction, but it would be mildly amusing to see SpaceX or MAGA on the side of a Russian rocket, although TBH given who's been paying who, it'd would make more sense to see Roscosmos on the side of a SpaceX rocket, or Tesla releasing the Model Б or...

Why is a "Christian" country trying so hard to murder its own citizens? Vaccines, health care, health workers. It's bizarre to watch from the outside (I live in Australia with a reasonably sane health system). My theory is the Republican party has to implode and schism into factions of...

If you make it a music analysis DJ with deep insight, maybe it won't be so bad, but for bands/artists where I'm a massive/deep fan, it would be hard pressed to tell me something I don't know. AI DJ: "That was Who Wants To Live Forever recorded on the second night of Queen's 2 nights at Wembley...

I was riding my bike on the weekend, and next to the footpath (sidewalk) was a pile of Encyclopaedia Britanicca volumes (for the youngsters, it's Wikipedia but books). I picked up a random volume and read a whole bunch of random articles. Now I know what "separium" means. I learnt the Win16 API...

Sounds like you've already checked out. Why not keep learning? You're not dead yet.

You're right, I have no idea how many people own just an Apple TV, but I do know I'm one of them! Apple TV 4k+Infuse=best Plex streaming device I've tried. As a slight aside it's interesting this thread isn't completely full of "Outrageous! I've cancelled the service! Twice!" posts unlike...

Uh... can you be a little more specific, I'm not sure who you mean (genuine question. I'm Australian, if that happened to be a funny comment as well, bonus!).

Okay... actual Compiler Writer, there have been many actual serious zero-day security holes in compilers written by human Compiler Writers. Maybe even by yourself, who knows, prove otherwise. You can't. Not sure what your point was. mine was AI can probably be a better Compiler Writer than me...

Why is that inherently dumb? It's been 30 years since I did Languages + Compilers at university, I reckon Gemini would do a better job than me. AI isn't going away, temper those judgements! More on topic, Gemini is approved for use at my work, it's okay, great for churning out unit tests, and...

I dunno, GPU kill switches would make for plenty of interesting videos on YouTube. Gamers Nexus (Thanks Steve) could lead with something like, "Today we investigate the rumours that Nvidia has planted C4 in the 6090's cooling system, and the 12pin power connector is designed ignite it."

The slow-motion coup continues.

Maybe the developer(s) deliberately didn't log stuff because That Would Be Bad without thinking too hard about the bigger picture. Who knows, maybe they're Ars members.

Jennifer is obviously super exci... nah. Even I can't carry that through. Press release article. Yawn.

This seems to be a Russian bot/farm account
