My 10 year old car has front cameras which is how I can park close to the curb without my front end going over it and blocking pedestrians.

Why use chrome when you can use an actually good browser with a proper ad blocker

They likely are stealing personal data and selling it to marketing companies, but the absurdly overpriced cloud storage is free money too. You could buy a 10TB HDD for $100 and use it for 5 years for an annual cost of $20/yr plus about $20 power cost, or you could pay MS for 1TB of cloud storage for $100/yr or $500 for 1/10th the storage and significantly worse performance.

It's pretty likely that if you use your storage for an encrypted container you're going to get banned too, so the cost is even higher when you realize everything is duplicated with other users.

The requirements are arbitrary. Windows 11 doesn't require memory protection unless it's on an intel processor, and it doesn't matter if the implementation is broken. Windows 11 also requires these security features to be available but doesn't require signed drivers to be compatible with them so it's highly likely that even if your system meets all the enhanced security requirements, they'll need to be disabled due to bad hardware or incompatible drivers.

None of this rules out malicious or fraudulent intent. It's possible that the arbitrary requirements are being driven because some beancounter has guessed that new computer sales kickbacks will earn them more than direct retail license sales.

False. Tesla was asked to upgrade their chargers to allow non Tesla cars to charge there and they declined. So there was a new bidding process and Tesla lost the bid in 2022. Teslas chargers are not universal, I just passed them today. Hyundai couldnâ(TM)t use them until March of this year, and even then they still require an adaptor. Theyâ(TM)re being replaced by universal chargers that work with all models and take credit cards, and even have higher charge speeds.

Musk is salty but his claims are false.

A New Yorker reporter was recently deported for reporting on the Columbia student protests. This unfriendly climate will kill tourism in America. Then it will have a ripple effect as future presidents and prime ministers go elsewhere to study, killing America's soft power among elites of other countries. And for what? It's not like legal student visa holders were causing a crime wave.

Nintendo had the advantage of having a lot of Switch 2s available for launch. It was over a year before I randomly saw PS5s for sale. I just bought a Switch 2 after seeing several for sale in a big box store.

These are very likely epigenetic adaptive changes that were preprogrammed into the bird's genome. Much like Darwin's finches these are not at all an example of evolution in action.

They got to collect 30% of developers money for 20 years and will likely only be required to refund a tiny fraction. This isn't a mistake its weaponized disregard for what's right. Apple is only starting to follow the rules now after they were threatened with criminal contempt, that's how little their cost is of flaunting the law.

Thatâ(TM)s incredible hypocrisy coming from Rubio; a man who had Rumeysa Ã-zturk arrested for writing an Op-Ed.

Meat and Dairy aren't being overproduced or overconsumed, even if they have risks, they are standing against the biggest problems facing world health. Dieticians might be asking people to replace meat and dairy with asparagus and quinoa but people are fat and malnourished because they're eating too much corn and other low nutrition density, high calorie foods.

This stands as a good reminder that if your assumption is that everyone else is wrong there's a good chance it's actually you.

If automated phone menus and AI phone support are garbage, it doesn't bode well for written text bots or other support.

One example I can think of is games on the Commodore 64. They never looked remotely as good as the NES. However, now there is Super Mario Brothers and other games that look as good on the C64 as they did on the NES.

Given the 5090 has over 21000 cuda cores this is more like a 5045 with half the compute capacity, a quarter of the power limits and around 70% the memory/bus.

I guess on the plus side there's no 12v high fire connector to worry about because these chips are mb integrated and wouldn't draw enough power to worry about anyway.

This.

Remember when Kansas banned the teaching of evolution in public schools? Medical schools and biology companies treated all applicants from Kansas with deep suspicion for years. That was just one state. Imagine what will happen when all the Red states do the same. It will be havoc.
