Comment This is just so idiotic its worse then rediculas. (Score 1) 68

If you want security and privacy, don't connect to the internet.

It's a really old unwritten rule.

But hey, let's just go for it, it'll be ok, and connect all the nuclear warheads in the world to the internet.

Matthew Broderick is still alive so we are good to go.

Comment I suggest what should be obvious. (Score 1) 234

That the people population does nothing about this claimed issue until we the people give a fair opportunity to the false authoritarians to solve it, inclusive of their efforts to force us the people to comply with their claims and constraints. But we'll still apply passive-aggressive responses. Naturally!

Why do this? How else to expose the false authoritarian that are causing all sorts of problems that otherwise would not exist?

Only when they are all obsoleted can we the people align to actually solve real issues.

The simple difference between a forced compliance and free-will alignment in getting things done

Choice, be a slave of forced compliance or be free to participate in enabled teamwork. re: https://3seas.org/

 

Comment That is is gross understatment. (Score 2) 78

the article seems to fail to account for the cost and frustration of the end users.

If the end user were able to back charge for the time they spend dealing with genuine technical fails many tech companies would have gone bankrupt. Microsoft would certainly be among them.

i.e. killed a whole weekend trying to determine and stop a random BSOD on a Dell computer. following some directions found on a Dell forum that Dell technical was participating in. The directions did not work.

Elsewhere I then found a solution. Disconnect the internal DVD drive so that the intel driver for it would not load and conflict with Windows. Posted the solution to the dell forum and got rated upward by others that the solution solved their BSOD's.

Dell tech was then like, try these other things. WTF it's not even a Dell problem and the customers don't work for Dell.

So today we have so-called AI developers that can't explain why their AI development does certain outputs. Great, like we (the tech industry) own all your base and have no responsibility for how we (tech industry) made use of it when it causes you problems. But we will happily take your money.

The tech fails are getting worse in numbers daily!

they would create so-called AI to test the software before it is released and also to find and fix broken software across the internet and incompatibility issues between vendors of systems components.

I'm tired of it and want to know who I bill for wasting my time dealing with so damn many tech fails that are increasing in number as the days go by, I shouldn't have to do this shit! I don't work for them, I'm a customer!.

Intel is no longer pursuing the brute force processing that they used to shut out Motorola and now that Apple is producing compatible CPU's but specializing in the direction of the Motorolla CPUs having performance optimized instead of brute force, otherwise known as Apple silicon, Intel is changing their tune.

If you do not know this, then you are not old enough to know it!

Should it be any surprise Apple is doing this, given they know the difference in CPU's performance in their product line?

Comment Actual experience of a Chinese EV (Score 1) 146

I test-drove an MG 4 a couple of weeks ago.

Excellent car, better than I expected, 250 mile range, half the price of a Tesla, delivery time 8 weeks. None of the Western legacy auto makers can make a car that good, at that price, in that volume.

I would have placed an order, except the Missus said to wait for the MG 5 in a few weeks, because we need a bigger vehicle than the MG 4.

Pro tip: the MG 5 is barely more expensive than the MG 4. In other words, really excellent value for money.

"Do these cats have an innate "need" to be round?"

That cat has met a physicist who has told them that to achieve their full feline powers (temporal and spatial displacement), they need to be spherical.

Our Bonny could move from upstairs, asleep, to standing by her bowl downstairs without any noise of her passage, and in a time interval too short to measure. We consider it a done deal that cats can travel through hyperspace at warp speed. Although we also consider it entirely likely that Bonnie, who was as idle as the day is long, was not actually putting any effort into travelling. She would enter hyperspace, then stick her claws into the Universe, and yank it to wherever she wanted it to be.
