Teslas are now asking minors for nudes.

I understand the failure rates for the GPUs is huge. The duty cycles tend to be high, with power and cooling issues.

(Actually the power issues are wild and can destroy power distribution and generation equipment. "Power Stabilization for AI Training Datacenters" 21 Aug 2025 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.14318)

Another advantage of cookbooks. (There are good ones, but a lot are junk.)

What is one more felony? Perhaps someone can be found guilty and sentenced to no punishment.

No advantage to using social media tied to your name or identity.

Be a hermit crab. Start new accounts periodically. Be certain they are not tied to your meat space persona.

The ones that could self selected out. (Or were kicked out.)

I don't know if I would go home at that point....

Look like quadrocopter in the images.

I agree with you. The implications are staggering.

The kernel change in WinXP really helped stability. It was certainly easy to have a bad install with any of them though.

Win98 SE was my personal "best experience" with Windows, with WinXP a close second. (Though this likely has to do with the hardware and tasks I was experiencing at the time.)

Remember how much people HATED Win95? They still moved to it to escape DOS, but still. Loads of hate.

Ah, but I bet those monkeys produce more text than Shakespeare! At least within the last 6 months!

spoilerThe joke is that Shakespeare is dead and no longer producing text.

At a time when the U.S. Department of Agriculture was slashing aid to schools and food banks in the name of fiscal responsibility, newly confirmed Secretary Brooke Rollins elected to spend thousands of dollars to purchase massive banners of President Donald Trump, one of which now hangs outside her department’s headquarters in Washington, DC, according to documents obtained by Salon.

In May, visitors to the nation’s capital noticed two, 31-foot additions to the USDA’s building on Independence Avenue, ostensibly intended to mark its 163rd anniversary: a banner featuring President Abraham Lincoln, who signed the bill creating the department, and another featuring Trump, both featuring the tagline: “Growing America Since 1862.”

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

 

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"
