Any time I see a "Xxx company is ending 32-bit support" in generally shocked that they were still supporting 32-bit systems...
I guess I'm also still shocked that we are all still using IPv4.
IT is a much slower industry than my brain wants it to be.
We already have a generation of people who don't think for themselves... It's too late!
"Let me just write a script to migrate 40,000 VMs to new hypervisors"

"And they're gone!"
when your President is a Climate-Change Denier? (And proud of it!)
....ohhh..... _that_ Python.
"... and when I saw the blob of... em... mayonnaise, 'cos that what was on my shoe, I thought it was perfect for..."
So long as it can be easily disabled.
I'm the EU there's never an issue cancelling. You don't have to go to the level of cancelling the direct debit, you just cancel your membership.
There's none of this making it difficult crap.
Even cookies, by law, have to have a one-button-reject-all.
It's likely didn't stop them when it came to the original training, or subsequent training, so why should they care now?
Tech ALWAYS fails.

When I got my Pixel 9 Pro, Gemini was installed. Excitedly I tried it to see what improvements it had over Android Assistant.
It wasn't long before I switched back to AA 'cos Gemini couldn't handle some very basic tasks.
So unless they've made MASSIVE improvements to it, I'll stick with tried-and-mostly-trusted AA.
I'm not sure I want a "reasoning" AI trying to decide what "turn the lights off" means and getting it hopelessly wrong.
I don't need a complicated assistant. Simple, that works, and, more importantly, that I can trust will do what I want every time. I need to trust in its consistency. I shouldn't have to be second-guessing my assistant.
And I fear Gemini won't give me that level of trust.
Here our laws are more about protecting the citizens. LA Fitness would be suited by the EU itself if they tried that here.
Which causes a major disruption to your life.
In fairness, though, it's still easier than cancelling the gym membership...
Interestingly BBC are one of the more neutral and honest news reporters.
I guess if you want biased news that only echoes your own personal beliefs then, yeah, don't read their stuff.
BMW drivers don't use indicators anyway, so adding a sub for them wouldn't make BMW (or Audi) any money.
Interchangeable parts won't.
