These days with video compression and the like, even a terminal needs a minimum of processing power, enough to run basic things and a browser, especially if you want to make it lag free.

Only in Fox news reality, I know

Assume either Trump will go after anybody saying anything critical about him and the party, or imagine AOC takes over the government and going after anybody saying something positive about Trump. Without privacy, you’re f-ed either way.

BMW drivers use blinkers to signal other brands to clear the left lane of the Autobahn for them.

Bazzite was the distro that ran my ancient hardware out of the box and allowed me to play my old games once in a while. No more Microsoft nagging me for upgrading and telling my hardware isn’t good enough.

Zero tolerance rules they usually have means you can go all the way and still get punished just as bad as a light punch, so no reasen to hold back anything.

So a 3 megawatt charger can charge 50 kWh in one minute. That’s some serious power.

That was the coning of waymo cars. It was their version of a salt circle.

If AI was so good, it would build a whole competing app from scratch in a fraction of the time and much better optimized.

Superconductor kept at a few Kelvin should do it. Available on any system with build in cryogenic unit. It’s part of the D port standard after all.

That little experiment is being tried now. Seems it means if immigrants can’t come to the companies, companies move their offices and factories to the (former) immigrants.

It’s not better if it actually works:

Dwar Ev ceremoniously soldered the final connection with gold. The eyes of a dozen television cameras watched him and the sub-ether bore through the universe a dozen pictures of what he was doing.

He straightened and nodded to Dwar Reyn, then moved to a position beside the switch that would complete the contact when he threw it. The switch that would connect, all at once, all of the monster computing machines of all the populated planets in the universe – ninety-six billion planets – into the super-circuit that would connect them all into the one super-calculator, one cybernetics machine that would combine all the knowledge of all the galaxies.

Dwar Reyn spoke briefly to the watching and listening trillions. Then, after a moment’s silence, he said, “Now, Dwar Ev.”

Dwar Ev threw the switch. There was a mighty hum, the surge of power from ninety-six billion planets. Lights flashed and quieted along the miles-long panel.

Dwar Ev stepped back and drew a deep breath. “The honor of asking the first question is yours, Dwar Reyn.”

“Thank you,” said Dwar Reyn. “It shall be a question that no single cybernetics machine has been able to answer.”

He turned to face the machine. “Is there a God?”

The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of single relay.

“Yes, now there is a God.”

Sudden fear flashed on the face of Dwar Ev. He leaped to grab the switch.

A bolt of lightning from the cloudless sky struck him down and fused the switch shut.

Oh, and find a way to get the trains on time!

That’s Switzerland.

That’s how human psychology works.

It was found that super-rich individuals legitimise their wealth acquisition and spending by presenting themselves as psychologically superior to the less affluent and as a result, deserving of their extreme wealth. By drawing upon meritocratic ideology, individuals managed their moral identity as their wealth and consumption is warranted as earned

Higher social class predicts increased unethical behavior

And in our society, wealth is what matters the most. This in contrast with older (smaller) societies where status is derived from generousity.

Seems all the classic movies on corporte streaming are “Leaving soon” because of profit optimizing licensing anyway.

Welcome to Life

Uncrop!

And most people would think it’s a huge waste of trashing stuff that’s still usable, but companies don’t care unless forced by regulations. Hell, a bunch of companies go out of their way to make stuff unusable.

Big chains do stuff like that. They usually got on trouble once, or got some employees trying to game the system. Stuff with a damaged package can be taken by workers? There’s always one guy that ‘accidentally’ drops the good stuff and then takes it home, and does that every day. Expired stuff can be taken home? Some things somehow end up in the back and are forgotten until one day over expiration. And then there are the idiots that find some stuff weeks expired, take it home, and then sue the company for giving them bad stuff. Usually management finds that it’s easier to just outright outlaw taking things home instead of dealing with a few idiots, and that ruins it for all other people handling in good faith.
