You have to give him credit, though... he just proved that the prediction market get rich quick hustle is even more susceptible to fraud than the crypto hustle that he helps to run.

Yeah, this already happened. I already see a lot of AI generated slop being posted to various Facebook groups.

I try blocking them, but for some reason Facebook seems to treat this as "engagement" and then sends my posts for similar groups posting the same crap.

I believe that you can't even factory reset the device and log in with a new Apple ID without disabling "Find My" for the device on the old account. Which I'm sure that this jerk parent is not willing to do.

Great... that's just what the sysadmins in this forum need. Another 49 time zones to choose from in our operating system and application configuration screens.

I think that the "problem" is that General Electric isn't considered to be an "AI Stock" to mainstream investors yet, and therefore doesn't have the high P/E multiples that you expect from a high flying tech stock like NVidia. This article was probably meant to solve THAT problem for GE investors, by showing that they're another pick and shovel producer for the AI gold rush.

Yeah, the Asus "Xbox" Ally X is really just an XBox App skin over Windows 11. Mostly because Windows 11 is painful to control with a D Pad and a 7" touch screen.

Most reviewers who have tried the "console" don't seem to like it, and they prefer the Steam Deck interface better. Some early adopters have even gone so far as to reformat the device and put Bazitte on it.

For me, a car is an 8 to 10 year purchase. By the time I'll be ready to get rid of that car, GM's proprietary infotainment system will be obsolete and half of the 3rd party integrations on it will likely be deprecated.

Also, I'd imagine that the security and software updates for it will likely run out right around the time that the car's warranty runs out. So, at that point, you'll either need to disconnect it from the internet and lose a TON of functionality or risk your car's infotainment system being turned into a Chinese botnet.

I've been a long time AWS user, and I noticed that their quality is slipping. Their tech support is becoming increasingly unhelpful, and escalating to your TAM is useless because they can't do anything to help solve the problem.

I also noticed that unexplained small outages are becoming more frequent, along with the larger outages like we saw in us-east-1 last week. Worst yet, the cost for compute is actually starting to creep upward in terms of cents per hour for server runtime, after years where it constantly dropped.

If someone asked me where to set up a new greenfield IT deployment now, I'd probably tell them to go to Azure instead.

The bias isn't totally fake, but it is overblown.

I mean, try posting anything using the words "Gulf Of America" in any Wikipedia article like for a coastal Texas city, and watch how fast it gets reverted even though it is technically the legal name of that body of water in the USA right now.

If you do it more than once, you'll probably get your account banned for "vandalism".

I've been using iOS 26 for three weeks now, and Apple still hasn't fixed the issue where the Find My app crashes on launch.

I even called Apple tech support about this, and had them open a bug report on it. What's taking so long? The UI changes don't really bother me, but not being able to use my AirTags to track things does.

So I don't have to worry about getting any help desk tickets for these issues.

They also say that they are "moving mountains" to resolve my issue with Confluence being down. Funny... I don't remember AWS having issues with a mountain landing on their us-east-1 data centers. Just fess up and tell us what the real problem is? It's not like we don't already know.

That said, Microsoft backported most of the data collection, advertising, and AI bloatware "enhancements" to the later releases of Windows 10 as well. If you left the default privacy raping settings go, it's basically as bad as Windows 11 now.

Hell, at this point they're even inserting CoPilot and OneDrive into the Mac versions of Office whether you want it or not.

Apple TV already spoon feeds weekly episodes. I think that the only streaming service that doesn't at this point is Netflix?

Well... compared to the non-inconvenience and non expense of having to not do it at all on a gasoline powered vehicle, it's something to think about.

I'd imagine that the one of the big reasons that the auto manufacturers cheated on their diesel emissions results is that they didn't want to require drivers to have to put DEF into their vehicles every few thousand miles like they do with diesel trucks. I can't blame them for that, it seems like a pain and probably would have hurt their sales.
