It absolutely won’t do that. You know how many millions of early generation Prusa and Ender 3 printers are in the US? Many of these models have no internet connectivity whatsoever and print from SD card.
What that means is they will also try to incorporate spyware into your CAD and/or slicer software, which is even more invasive.
This is a anti-privacy bill.
There are so many spent casings in circulation that people can already reload their own ammo to last the next 100 years. Bullets can be cast. Even powders can be made.
This is my thought also. v2.7.5 has been stable since April. I’m gonna stick with that for the moment.
Depending who we are talking about, good riddance.
Will be missed- The jaded technical guy who has 3 decades of institutional knowledge and can sight read machine code like its the Matrix.
Won’t be missed- The middle management corpo-speak fat fuck with turkey waddle jowls, spouting the latest efficiency reminders from his SVP (so he hits his own compensation-linked performance targets) while struggling to find the right button to screenshare on the Teams call.
This is some insane level corporate tone-deafness.
They literally used AI to integrate themes from a violent political suppression event into their marketing.
It’d be like Starbucks USA commemorating Kent State with a “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” promotion.
US tech sector could easily shed double that number as long as it is middle managers and worthless PM types getting fired.
Hollowing out actual engineers, devs, and people who know how shit works in favor of “AI gains” and offshore outsourcing is like removing the engine from you car “for the weight savings”.
You just described Tycho/Jerry’s actual personality: “Thinks he’s a lot smarter than he is.”
I believe this is (or will soon be) a regulatory requirement in many countries, for self-driving features in modern cars.
For me I don’t do long highway trips often enough to justify having it. I would rather not have inherently invasive blackbox tech as a tradeoff for a feature I will seldom (if ever) use.
Well the murder weapon was literally a kirpan, so I guess that could be relevant.
But if we are to uncritically believe what the AI peddlers told us, that means this mystery company should be reaping $10 billion in additional revenue or quantifiable gains in productivity!
I actually live near one of the sites. Even a year ago or whenever the tickets and matchups were announced, it seemed all the tickets were unobtainium. Saw insane prices for random matchups.
I would’ve liked to participate in the spectacle but I didn’t want to spend thousands for me and a friend to go see Eritrea v. New Guinea or some such other prelim matchup I had no interest in.
So then I got to thinking, how many people (genuine fans) from some of these countries are actually able to travel to North America paying peak travel and accommodation costs in addition to the match ticket cost? It must be the 1% of the 1% of many fanbases.
Now to fuck up their plan by training their AI on House of Leaves.
“Not fair to those who buy physical software”
What was the most recent fucking calendar year when somebody walked into a CompUSA and bought physical boxed software??
I think I bought Half-Life 2 in box on launch day. So… 2004.
“Pretty good” even
California needs to wise up and realize that you can make functional firearms out of $20 worth of hardware store parts. They can’t stop the signal.
Shinzo Abe got his cheeks clapped with a homemade gun in a country with roughly zero legal civilian firearms, and a violent crime rate of less than 1 per 100,000.
Can’t stop the signal.
In my area last year I was legitimately looking at all options. Toyota lot was the biggest disappointment. They had 1 RAV4 that was completely stripped, cloth seats, barely any features etc. but somehow the payments were still $150 more per month than leases on better equipped EVs at that point (prior to the federal tax credit expiration). I asked the Toyota guy if he had any other competitive options and he tried to tell me I should get a massive truck (Tundra).
This continues to baffle me. Europe, the US, and likely even Japan was never going to be able to win the race to the bottom on price. China understands its supply chain and mineral strengths and has optimized its entire production towards churning out good (or good enough) EVs at scale.
Still, the US could continue to wall China out of its market with massive tariffs while also promoting alternative cheaper vehicle options, a large portion of which should and could be EVs. But the US hasn’t even done that… Domestic manufacturers have run screaming from EVs, seemingly ceding the entire field to China.
I use Audire from F-droid. It relies on the APIs of Shazam and AUDD. But it’s a FOSS app, there is no account to log into, and I’m running it on Graphene so it’s also sandboxed and permissions restricted.
Awesome, glad they’re doing it.
The problem is the price and the timeframe. The next batch is available next May?
For that price, more than a year from now, you’ll likely be able to assemble or purchase a small form factor PC and build it out with similar or better components for significantly cheaper.
The other big thing for me is carrier unlocked and also still supporting physical SIM.
Hoping the Motorola flagship meets those criteria.
