    As teens await sentencing for nudifying girls, parents aim to sue school

    So the defense you mount is that authorities and others also did nothing? Solid. Yeah, they all suck, Micciche is in good company there. Doesn't make him a man with morals, just a man surrounded by others like him. Ars isn't the only media outlet reporting that the school was informed exactly...

    As teens await sentencing for nudifying girls, parents aim to sue school

    Dude, I'm not here to be judge, jury and executioner, but you're sure bending over backwards to defend his behavior. Speaks volumes about your moral compass. He clearly had reasonable and relevant information and he chose to do nothing about it for 6+ months. The information is in the damn...

    As teens await sentencing for nudifying girls, parents aim to sue school

    The article is clear on what he didn't do. As a moral person there's no excuse to sit on something like this, even if this cost him his job. It did anyway, now it also cost him his moral standing. He sold his soul so to speak to protect the school from showing some bad stats.

    As teens await sentencing for nudifying girls, parents aim to sue school

    The head of school Matt Micciche landed on his feet looks like. Imagine being one of his 3 sons and knowing your father sat on the knowledge of this kind of abuse and did nothing because of a loophole. What do you learn? He isn't to blame for this happening but once he knew and decided to not...

    Nvidia CEO tries to explain why DLSS 5 isn’t just “AI slop”

    What a load of drivel. DLSS 5 sloppyfies the look of the game, but it's "3D guided" so it's fine. It's "enhancement" which everyone knows isn't a "change". Bet he used AI to "enhance" the definition of these words.

    After hack, some ignition interlock users couldn’t start their own cars

    What if you are in a place where you don't have the option to safely pull over in that interval?

    TCL’s German QLED ban puts pressure on TV brands to be more honest about QDs

    You don't eat your asbestos wall, your cadmium batteries, or your mercury CCFL tube but it doesn't make the substances less toxic for you or damaging to the environment. The processes for manufacturing the chemicals involved and disposing of the old electronics containing it are dirty, that...

    TCL’s German QLED ban puts pressure on TV brands to be more honest about QDs

    Yeah, the branding of Quantum Dot technology came to ride on the OLED fame, banking on the confusion while it picked up speed and reached the expected quality levels. Samsung in particular (but also other vendors using their panels) used QD-OLED, QLED, and occasionally QDLED interchangeably...

    Federal cyber experts called Microsoft’s cloud a “pile of shit,” approved it anyway

    It's a full article touching on purchasing a cloud solution so some familiarity with terminology like CapEx and OpEx is assumed by commenters. OP means they calculated that it's cheaper to pay for service than the usual investment in buying/owning the solution with a 3 year horizon. Math checked...

    Federal cyber experts called Microsoft’s cloud a “pile of shit,” approved it anyway

    So the techie said "shit" but the suit said "done"? Color me surprised.

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

    Maybe but that doesn't matter, few people play at lowest settings so comparing to that is disingenuous. Especially without flagging that the DLSS Off image isn't what most people will see when playing without DLSS. They're intentionally using a low quality image for comparison and not making it...

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

    Are they by any chance using the lowest quality settings for the comparison photo? Because that DLSS Off image looks pretty darn intentionally low quality. Nvidia has a history with putting on such shows whenever they wanted to upsell some technology. They just absolutely gimped the comparison shot.

    Upmarket looks, mass-market price: The 2027 Kia Telluride, driven

    Presumably, 2 electric motors and battery, and the needed accessories (although with a gearbox that might be cheaper). They have to cost something.

    Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review: Private and performant

    I don't know how cheap or easy it is to repair this phone but when we circle around to the old discussions about shattered phones and more or less expensive repairs, remember that we do it in the interest of premiumness. As much as I would love a high end alternative to the iPhone, the number...

    Elon Musk’s xAI sued for turning three girls’ real photos into AI CSAM

    All the bad crap Musk is accusing others of doing is projection.

    Upmarket looks, mass-market price: The 2027 Kia Telluride, driven

    Design wise this looks a lot like a Kia EV9 front and a Hyundai Ioniq 9 back. I think it's a good combination. Although that front can be a bit divisive.

    Facing heavy losses, Honda cancels its three US-made electric vehicles

    That's 2-4 weeks of pay they give up. It's a nice signal but they don't leave that much money on the table.

    How I streamed my off-road Miata race using Starlink and StarStream

    "Amateur-anything" and "use/control a (dedicated) satellite" don't really go hand in hand. At least not for any reasonable definition of amateur, today.

    Windows 11’s Steam Deck-ish, streamlined Xbox gaming UI comes to all PCs in April

    Xbox Copilot. Has to have some silly “synergistic” branding like this.

    MS exec: Microsoft’s next console will play “Xbox and PC games”

    I wonder how much of this is relying on cloud streaming, and how much is "pay for the game once and use it anywhere" (instead of the current "fox Xbox" and "for PC" games). It's going to be a turnkey, locked down PC that needs to use a lot of creative tricks to pull off the jack of all trades...
