... What are they talking about? "Gladis, look out, there's a Japanese whaling ship heading in your direction!" "Where's a transparent aluminum tank in a Klingon warbird when you need one!?"
Then they lament, "Those frelling Humpback whales probably got it."
Recall, a feature that promised to track all your PC usage via screenshot to help you remember your past activity.
Who asked for this?
The people at Microsoft who wanted more universal telemetry and activity data, even for non-Microsoft software?
Recall is there to vacuum up all the sensitive data "on" the computer and make it available to Microsoft and their partners for their use.
I liken it to telemetry that can apply to all software / activities on a system - even third-party software - w/o having embed telemetry in any software. Simply screenshot things every few seconds and scan the images with OCR and/or "AI". Truly a horrible situation for the end-users.
Linux Mint may eventually lean more heavily on its Debian roots rather than its traditional Ubuntu base.
And that would be bad why? Sure, Debian moves more slowly than Ubuntu, but but they're also not all-in on Snap. I'll take stability over cutting-edge for most things, especially if things that need more frequent (security) updates, like Firefox and Thunderbird, are also available - as packages. Also, don't most fixes from Ubuntu (and others) eventually get pushed upstream to Debian anyway?
Maybe Trump is just making good on promises to U.S. oil executives/companies -- first killing wind farms and subsidies/credits for renewables and now hampering middle-east oil production and shipments.
Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign
Right, not everyone wants a large vehicle. Not everyone is an automotive enthusiast. Seems that's what the big three don't understand.
They do (cynically) understand profit margins though and trucks, SUVs, and muscle cars are more profitable than smaller, economic cars - not only in sales, but maintenance too.
But I don't think any of that applies to a CEO that makes millions.
And comparatively, their U.S. workers *are* slave labor and the rich and Republicans seem okay with that -- pushing for fewer/lower worker safety regulations, less affordable / available healthcare and more expensive insurance, cutting and/or further restricting social safety nets. etc... They're okay with poorer people simply working themselves to death.
"First of all, the Chinese have huge direct support for their auto companies," [Ford CEO] Farley said,
Not allowing consumers to buy those Chinese vehicles kinda props up Ford, and other companies. Some people may buy vehicles solely based on price, but most consider other factors too. If Ford can't compete on those other factors, it doesn't really matter what the prices are. For example, my 2001 Honda Civic Ex and 2002 Honda CR-V Ex (both manuals btw) weren't the least expensive vehicles I could have purchased, but they're (still) reliable and have long maintenance intervals.
The moment you read something like "spectre of
Really hoping that's not the screenplay for next James Bond film.
Each company disputed or took issue with the research, with Google saying it was based on a "fundamental misunderstanding" of how its product works.
There are a few, simple reasons for this. We have to track you (a) so we know if we're not suppose to track you, (b) so we know if our not tracking is working and track how well it's working and (c) in case you change your mind we want all your data retroactively. All the tracking data from when we're not tracking you is stored in a separate database that no one has access to, except when we track statistics on how well the non-tracking is working -- pinky swear.
"What do you mean people like the AI more than me?!!!"
Or the robot he usually sends out. Can't that just sit in on the meetings? Seems like it fools Congress.
I guess it sort of makes sense that the new Super Mario movie and the Andy Weir movie are doing well in the theaters, as they are the only two movies I have even heard of BEING in the theaters in like the last couple of years. Are any other movies even showing right now?
I'm betting someone is pitching cross-over sequels right now.
Then Vance is in Iran and is supposed to be negotiating some sort of end to this needless conflict and as he's telling the press that negotiations have failed the President and the fucking Secretary of State are attending a UFC fight. Something something Nero and fiddles.
As a comedian noted, after 20+ hours of talking with Vance, Iran said they'd rather go back to being bombed 24/7.
That's why Trump pardoned him. He's just that innocent.
Ignoring the jokes, I'll note that he and Binance both plead guilty, for those unfamiliar.
Criminal allegations and sanctions
Trump pardoned him because he doesn't think white-collar crime is crime. Of course, the bribe(s) he got helped -- also not a crime in his mind or, now, in the minds of SCOTUS for a sitting President. (sigh) That Zhao was convicted under Biden was sauce for Trump's pardon goose.
Any friendly decision the CFTC makes on this industry could end up financially benefiting the president's family as well. President Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., has invested in Polymarket through his venture capital firm and is a strategic advisor for Kalshi.
