It's nonsense to call this is "a 50 cent item".

A skein of a good quality yarn is gonna set you back several bucks.

I remember, back in the day, buying (or being gifted) some iPod Socks. At $30 for a set of six, they seemed a bit overpriced... but they were occasionally handy to have.

I can't imagine why anyone would spend 6-8 times as much for a single sock - even one with a strap.

OH! FINALLY!

Sheesh, it's taken me two freakin' days (and a dupe) to get your joke!

THIS will end well...

Well, see, in Russia they always end Rocky IV right after Ivan Drago kills Apollo Creed.

Today, the robot fell.

Tomorrow, I imagine its main developers are likely to fall out of some windows.

Heck, why stop there?!

Any self-respecting Slashdotter would DESIGN AND BUILD THEIR OWN TABLET! And fork their own custom Linux distro to run on it!

Nickels cost $0.14 each to make, so one could easily make the case for getting rid of them too.

That is, if there had been any actual thinking behind this move - versus just one more random fixation by the addled elderly toddler-in-chief.

Well, not that shocked.

I wonder if it's possible to write a uBO filter rule that replaces that ad with this video?

The name of that attribute has changed. If you update your filter to match (easy enough to find w/ uBO), the pop-up will go away.

I'm expecting a lot of cat-and-mouse on this site over the next few weeks / months.

But it only cost me $50 - and it came with a bonus pair of pants attached.

The Big G is finally making good on its promise to add its market-leading Nano Banana image-editing model to the app.

What it a promise, or a threat?

It seems exceptionally weird that people have started writing as though "AI"'s needs are just axiomatic; and that the size of other things, like revenue or suckers with available capital, must be the problem.

The fact that you want something that costs more than you have isn't normally described as a 'funding gap'; it's just you having expensive tastes that you can't afford. Why are talking about there being X trillion in 'demand' when, in fact, there's only X trillion in unfunded hype because nobody has slapped a shock collar on Altman yet?

McKinsey is already involved. It's not really a classic Saudi project if it doesn't combine the dodgiest western white collar people and services money can buy with a healthy dollop of slave labor.
