Ubuntu is a complete operating system, and has a desktop component and a server component. Qualcomm makes hardware that can be used for both.

You're right that it's not a contraction. I have no excuse, and hang my head in shame.

I had read it as, "...had obtained passwords and other secret material [through other insecure/Microsoft software] that might allow them to breach multiple U.S. agencies."

I guess basic math is not a requirement at Fortune.

It's a contraction, which calls for an apostrophe.

During WW2, automakers not only produced consumer vehicles, though at a much smaller rate than pre-war, they also started producing tanks and other products for the war effort. Without the automakers, the U.S. would have been at a severe handicap to fight the war. The auto industry is critical infrastructure that we cannot afford to lose.

U.S. automakers favored larger vehicles because the U.S. Government required mileage and emissions targets for smaller cars to be met or the automakers would face significant fines. Certain trucks were exempt from the fines, and it was straightforward for automakers to meet the definition of what constitutes such a truck by making smaller cars bigger. No one likes paying fines, so the SUV was born.

All three software patents should have never been granted, as they don't pass the test of being tied to a particular computer (at the very least).

The correct words are "console" and "consoles", not "consul" and "consuls".

We already have a "good as physical" streaming service. It's a local RAID array of movies ripped from the physical media you bought. I rip every single DVD I buy (I avoid Bluray like the plague it is) to my NFS server, and watch it from any computer in my house.

Active Directory is a big blob containing LDAP, Kerberos, DNS, DHCP, and a few other services. To the best of my knowledge, Linux has everything Active Directory has, but does it better.

I find Reddit's tech channels to be surprisingly good, so it does have value. I don't know if the value coincides with its share price, though.

I was thinking about all the tech companies I didn't invest in because I had some personal grudge against them. Most of those companies became highly priced, and I regretted not investing in them early. I was tempted to not miss out on yet another one, but I resisted the urge. Only time will tell whether it was a good decision.

I can easily see the possibility a large dip being followed by an even larger increase later, but I have no real investment skills or talent. Even if I bought now, there is a real possibility that the share price will rise above its current levels. But I refer you back to my investment skills.

I agree with you, and my comment wasn't directed at you. I've seen so many people think that LLM's have some kind of intelligence (and therefore sentience) that I am actively fighting the use of anything that might suggest these programs are anything other than pattern matching algorithms.

LLM's don't hallucinate. They malfunction.

"Government, You've been suing us for decades(!). If you drop your cases against us, we'll lower our rates by 0.04% for three years before jacking the prices back up."

"Okay, it's a deal!" the government replied.
