Good news!

“from her now ex-boyfriend.” - buried deep in the article

I wanna know what concert it was. #swiftie lol?

In my country we’ve had these electronic labels for many years, using them was part of my first real job a decade ago. And here they definitely can be updated centrally, and in near real time.

1. Mayor says the city will stop using tech by the end of 2024.

2. Tech is still operational in April 2024 (8 months before the end of 2024).

3. Breathless expose article showing that the tech is still in use.

4. Profit???

If one owned a real switch would that alter any of the steps? Like, I imagine whatever keys you need would be on it?

For the record I know nothing and am just guesstimating based on 90’s PS1 emulation.

This behaviour is why I roll my eyes when the edge fanbois are all like “iTs AlL cHrOmE aNyWaY”.

Fuck any company that uses their power to try trick people into using their software, yes including google.

More like, OpenAI has said “so what if we were speeding, everyone does it” (did that work last time you got a ticket?)

Relevant exerpt from the article: “The company recently made a similar argument to the UK House of Lords, claiming no AI system like ChatGPT can be built without access to copyrighted content.”

Bruh idk why the difference… Educate me?

Jesus. What a lucky escape!

Honestly, Wikipedia doesn’t avoid this. People constantly game the rules to remove or change content that doesn’t suit them. I recall an instance where employees of a company were busted editing that company’s page, they were caught because there were so many different editors all from the same corporate IP. And that’s just the low hanging fruit that makes the news - I would wager there’s 10 instances that never get noticed for each one that people spot.

Having not yet read the article, if the species in question aren’t Bezos, Musk, Gates et al, then the report writers have missed the mark.

Exactly! If it’s not already, breaking the law should be an examption to the whole concept of a limited-liability company - so you can’t just shut down the company and move on to another.

Wouldn’t it be nice if fines were based on the past/present/potential revenue (not profit) from the location where the offending took place?

Dig a trench on an archaeological site without permissin? Pay the full amount your business case said you might ever receive from the work you were making the trench for.

Drink drive? Instantly lose the vehicle you were driving.

Knowingly breaking the law should have extra penalties, I.e. corporate death penalties should be commonplace for those who knowingly break the law.

I mean, cuntdown still found the money for a $400,000,000 rebranding… Were their profits down by $400,000,000 or are they spending hundreds of millions on a vanity exercise with a side benefit of good PR?

Also, reminder that they all made record profits over the pandemic and “slightly less than the most ever but still well above traditional levels” isn’t a fair amount of profit for them to make.

Ah yes, a 650k company for a company making billions.

Proprtionate to my own income, that’s like $50 fine. Pathetic.

How the hell is it that the RMA has, by all accounts, been the largest single drag on construction in this country and is one of (the many) causes of the housing crisis, yet it can’t even prevent literal shit being dumped in our rivers “for years”?

I despair for this country. We’re fucked. I’d say bring on the election but whoever gets in, it’ll be more of the same.

If Im reading the GitHub history right, this PR was accepted at age 3 years and 1 day? Guess the cake worked!

Is this saying that Google will get every device to log every Bluetooth device it detects, just in case one of them is then reported as missing? Like, what in the holy overreach stalker BS is this?

Absolute garbage of a study - participants had no option to select that they were single?! Of course people will say they’re in a relationship if there is literally no other option!

Do you have, and are you using, a dedicated graphics card?

If using the inbuilt GPU that’s on your motherboard, windows will use system ram as GPU ram.

If that isnt the issue, can you tell us: windows version(s) you’ve tried, confirm all your ram sticks are same brand and size, and confirm if it’s ever worked on this computer.

Just a heads up for any of their customers. Hidden deep in the FAQ it says: “if you have ever overpaid i.e. have a credit balance with us, we won’t pass that along to 2degrees, and, unless you specifically contact us to request your money back, we’ll be greedy pricks and keep it for ourselves”.

(I may have paraphrased their wording a bit).
