Seriously if you don't connect your TV to the internet all of this AI smart bullshit is irrelevant.

Honestly I have an old Vizio because I have old game consoles hooked up to it and they work surprisingly well because lots of people were still hooking up old game consoles to flat panels back in the day. I'm not trying to recreate moment 37 of evo or 1ccing Mushihime-sama so a frame or two of lag isn't noticeable to me.

Not utility, the money is for the social signal.

People are that dumb and this is only going to accelerate the process. They ask the all knowing screen a dumb question and get back a slop answer. Slop really is the word of 2025.

Woke is just DEI which is just SJW which is just political correctness which is just desegregation.

The governor of California said it best, anti woke is just anti-black.

When you strip everything away it's just the same mistake we made back in the 1800s when we didn't finish reconstruction in the south. What historians here call the original sin of America.

To be honest it's not a uniquely American problem. The same trick for dividing people into easily manageable groups is done all across the globe. Japan has the burakumin, China has the uyghur, India has its caste systems etc etc.

Do they also provide build tools and allow customers to build and install their own images?

You have to have punishments to stop the people who are stopped by the threat of them. Those people do exist. We don't think about them much because the existing deterrents work just fine on them.

But you also shouldn't waste your time either believing that they will deter everyone, nor that stronger punishments will deter statistically more people. There are always those who think they won't get caught, and those who don't care.

Somehow authoritarians always forget the carrot. The stick isn't invalid, it just isn't a complete solution, and you shouldn't be rushing to apply it in all situations.

What's stopping you? There's definitely people doing this right now. Around a quarter of the continental US is BLM land. Last I looked pig tags were free.

Woke AI education is now a thing :o

Look, I am a firm believer that the UK's computer teaching has been crap and this is extra crap, but what the fuck. Woke? What the fuck are you even talking about.

Like electing far right morons hell bent on destroying the earth for a dollar? Positive feedback is the same as a negative feedforward right ;-)

Because the world doesn't need synthetic rubber, pharma, plastics, roads, and the shitton of other things you ignore from the oil industry, all the while ignoring the fact that the world isn't funding the Saudis for power generation at all since most of the world does not use oil fired power stations?

I'm all for a rant, but please at least have it make sense.

I would have gone with The Pentagon which was built back in the 1940s, but sure, let's give apple the credit.

Most EU decisions die on the table even when "implemented". That's one of the downsides of a system that relies on implementation among all member states, three of which seemingly wish they could be part of the USSR instead of the EU.

The EU politicians are no different than those of any other country. If they get enough morons to follow them, even some true dumbfucks can get elected. We've been seeing a lot of stupid proposals come through the EU parliament since the last election turned the EU government more conservative. This is what happens when the VP of the commission gets replaced by someone from the opposite side of the political spectrum.

Back then security didn't exist as a concept. Everyone supported embedding ActiveX and Javascript.

Who modded this informative? WebP isn't deprecated in the slightest despite how much you wish it were. In fact it was only formally ratified as a standard literally exactly one year ago. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc... The lastest revision to the primary library was done less than 3 months ago.

WebP remains supported by all major platforms, unlike JPEG XL, and is in active use, unlike JPEG XL.

Yeah I too wish it were different, but seriously come join us in reality man.
