need to ban 3D printers

Ban 3D morons.

The M.E. has a way of driving everyone crazy; you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Put HAZMAT tape around the area and warn everybody away. Leave them on their own, giving them no food nor weapons; if they bonk each other to oblivion, it's their problem, not ours. I think it's God's Insane Asylum.

Non-nuts have migrated somewhere quieter, leaving mostly nuts in place, a Sanity Filter. I'm just the messenger.

do business with Israeli gov't. Regardless of your political stance, from a business standpoint it's just asking for drama and controversy of some sort.

Qualified to work at Boeing.

I simplified the story for ya.

I know there are a handful of people who are kind of freaked out at the suggestion that we should put a halt to any new technology. But besides that knee jerk reaction is there anyone who genuinely wants to see these data centers built out?

We could just tell the billionaires no. We would have to take their money away because money is power but we could do that. There's about 8,000 of them. There's 8 billion of us.

We could just tell them no.

Why would a developer bother to optimize their game? That's actually a good question, given some of the recent releases.

Thanks for the tip! What about affecting GPS (navigation)? Does that use a separate antenna? If so, that would mean the vehicle has two different antennas for two different satellite types.

It's a smallish SUV, by the way.

That people still don't realize they have a ruling class.

Your Masters want this and they are going to get it.

One of the old bugaboos with the right wing is the idea that you work the first 3 months of the year for the government.

But we know about half of the money in any given country goes straight to the top . 01%.

Nobody ever talks about the 6 months you spend working to pay for Bill gates's yacht.

Meanwhile my tax dollars paid for healthcare for people who couldn't afford it. I had a neighbor who had a kid that was only alive because my tax dollars and everybody else's paid for a surgery they need it. Pretty minor stuff but they'd be dead without it. Single mom with a $15 an hour job no way she could afford even a routine surgery like that.

The people at the top have class consciousness but us working stiffs do not. Down here in the trenches it's every man for himself.

MS playbook [of] shoving ads everywhere...

Ads on a desktop are one thing, but ads that block one's navigation map while driving are another. Thus, Sirius found a way to be even more evil than MS. Quite a feat.

It started 3 years ago. I contacted Sirius two years in a row. The first time they walked me through the menus to turn it off, and it worked. The second year they said it couldn't be turned off and that I'd have to wait for the promotional period to end (see below), so I filed a formal safety notice at nhtsa.gov, but never received feedback.

The alert pop-ups keep blocking part of the navigation map until I press the damned Dismiss button while driving in order to see the full map. Repeatedly pushing the Dismiss button distracts from driving, and so is a safety hazard.

I was told that every November Sirius gave out a few weeks of free service to help promote the service. But that caused the useless and repetitious wind alerts. I live in a naturally windy place such that wind alerts are superfluous; it would be comparable a North Pole freeze alert.

It happened again this year, but I was fortunately able to switch it off via settings menus. I don't know why deactivation is different per year. I suspect they do it to get people to poke around in the menus and see the different genres of music & talk channels they have, hoping to entice sales. It's probably stealth advertising disguised as a defect, or a defect they leave in place that happened to improve sales, so is ignored.

F$CK YOU SIRIUS!

I'm not sure there is any amount of money that I'd accept to engineer a product that involved looking at thousands of photos of unflushed toilets.

This "researcher" doesn't seem to know what end-to-end encryption is, or why what the manufacturer says is true. Their blog says that "[t]he term is generally used for applications that allow some kind of communication between users", but that's not true. The most common type of end-to-end encryption is HTTPS, typically between the user and a web server.

Also, they offer an AI powered service to analyse your output, and state that they use the data for further training. That is well within both expectations of what an AI powered service will be doing, and what their privacy policy says they will do.

I dislike how privacy is treated as a premium product, and how many companies feel entitled to our data, this case is nothing special at all.

They are probably hoping that developers start releasing ARM native versions once Steam Machine sales start to take off. This will be aimed at older games where the developer is unlikely to go back and rebuild for ARM, and performance isn't too critical.
