Apparently that's the wrong technology for this purpose.

"It works but" means that it's not working as it should reasonably be expected to.

I've never understood why things like this are said to use a bazillion gallons of water for cooling.

Hot water cools off again when you stop heating it.

Why don't they just have a big cooling tank? Pump the hot water in one end, take the cool water out of the other end.

The technology for making these things has been around for a while.

You don't have to constantly refill the radiator in your car or the boiler that's heating your building.

It takes two years to open the archive?

What is involved other than just disabling the paywall? It sounds like something that could be done before lunch tomorrow.

What am I not understanding?

You want all intrernal storage of any kind removed and destroyed?

So the inventory of product in the machine, the price of a purchase, the menu of available items, all of that should be destroyed?

What's left? A nice black screen and a pile of stuff behind it that can't be sold?

Scribus is a free desktop publishing program.

It's a bit intimidating when you first load it, but the basics aren't difficult to grasp after a bit of playing around.

I use it to create ads and coupons for my business.

A friend of mine uses it to do the layout for his weekly newspaper, as well as things like flyers and business cards for his commercial printing operation.

Your credit score increased because you demonstrated that you pay your (new) credit card bill.

Nothing nefarious there, really.

If the sentence is 40 years after pleading guilty (which likely means life considering the conditions in US prisons), wouldn't it make more sense to plead not guilty and take any slim chance of getting off instead?

"We'll give you 40 years if you plead guilty or even longer if you make us go through the effort of prosecuting you." There's not much of a practical difference there, really.

"Frankly, I'm sick and tired of the "But I use them as garbage bags!" refrain. This is not reusing them. It is literally turning them into garbage."

Then you're buying other bags (usually made of even heavier plastic) to turn them into garbage. What's the gain when you still need a bag to put your garbage into, either a "free" one or a bag you had to buy specifically for the purpose.

The drm on a kindle doesn't have to be super-duper to do what it's intended to do.

It makes Martha go out and buy the book when Meg tells her it's a good one during their weekly sewing circle/gossip session.

Not necessarily. By 1 get 1 free can also lower the inventory of obsolete, unfashionable or soon-to-expire stock.

I suspect the mindset here was something along the line of:

Gosh, there's been a huge pool of corruption going on here for years and the new system has finally managed to allow us to catch it.

That's a registered trademark. And a "famous mark".

Which is a different thing entirely from what's under discussion here.

I can't see how a mechanical turk activity could be done at the speed that it's being done by chatgpt.

Ask question. One second later you get six paragraphs.

A human probably couldn't finish reading the question that quickly, let along provide the answer.
