Trump is ignoring an order from the Supreme Court, not some lower court.

Flock being misused or abused; a botched execution in Tennessee; Trump continuing to block CNN despite a court order... you might almost think there's something wrong with the American legal system.

I would not. But then again, I'm old-school and retired, so I get to develop the way I want, not the way some corporate bean-counter wants.

Yep. The announcement had the smell of "vibe-coded" and the GitHub repo confirms it.
No thanks.

The Kobo remote has a wrist strap you can use, so you won't lose it.
And it takes a standard AAA battery, so you can have one on standby if it's really important. I use rechargeable AAA batteries to keep the cost down.

I have a Kobo Clara too and I love it, despite the lack of physical buttons. However, I finally caved and bought the remote and I'm surprised by how much it improves the experience. I stand the Kobo up and can read while I eat breakfast or supper and not worry about getting food on the e-reader.
I want nothing to do with Amazon, so a Kindle for me is out of the question.

So the answer is: If you want to sell a product that contains fresh peeled bananas, don't expose them to oxygen. Fill the packaging with nitrogen, as is done for potato chips to slow down the oil from going rancid.

They could vacuum-pack the product or fill it the package with nitrogen. No oxygen = no browning.
They already fill potato chip bags with nitrogen to stop the oil from going rancid.

I'm not seeing that. Lots of rounded GUI elements, but the viewport (meaning where the actual web content is displayed) is still a rectangle for me.

When I buy bananas, I don't peel them until I'm ready to eat them. And when I do peel a banana, I eat it in one sitting.
If they're a little bit brown, it's no big deal... they're still fine for eating. And if they're very brown and mushy, they're still usable for making banana bread. I don't understand the phobia against a little bit of browning.

civil liability is ample remedy
No, it's not. Any civil remedy would be negotiated down until OpenAI could write it off as a cost of doing business.
Making Altman travel to Australia and undergo a trial, even if he's only sent to jail for 30 days if convicted, would be far more clarifying to the mind.

When the crime took place in Australia, it doesn't matter what US cybercrime statutes actually say. *sigh*

CFAA is an American statute. The crime took place in Australia. And although my first sentence said "This is criminal negligence", nowhere did I say that's what Altman should be charged with. He should be charged under Australia's cybercrime laws.
Comment Enough is enough (Score 5, Interesting) 76
This is criminal negligence. Australia, whose health ministry was hacked by OpenAI, should file criminal charges against Sam Altman and request his extradition from the USA. That will never happen, of course, but if they make an arrest request to Interpol, it could seriously cramp Altman's travel plans.
