Precisely. There are two key points here. This is one of them. The other is given that it's not a bipartisan thing and being fomented by unelected/unaccountable bureaucrats, you should ask who is behind it and who stands to gain from its existence. Hint: it's never who the say it is.

Zoom...enhance.

IMHO, this is laying the groundwork for a subscription-only business model for the entire OS.

Apple's paltry SSD size for entry level Macs is an issue as well especially for a power user or developer. But that may be the point of the conversation. How many people use a computer for more than just simple stuff like email, browsing, and office tasks? If you are a basic user, 8 gig can be offset by having plenty of free paging space on an SSD.

Taking a risk on a new property is not what the studios are into these days. They, like every other business, have fallen in to the pit of having to meet payroll every month which means some sort of subscription business model. Derivative works, sequels, and spinoffs are essentially that. They are usually boring but they make enough money to keep the system going. New properties aren't really that new either. They're often based on a book, graphic novel, video game, or some other media that already has a guaranteed customer base.

He who can come up with a power source that can keep the swarm aloft for an hour or more is going to win the marbles.

Just look at the details of your electric bill and try to make sense of it. Clearly, some wordsmith spent hours trying to come up with the most opaque terms for things.
What it boils down to is that you can't truly know how much money you're going to save by buying more energy-efficient devices. Oh, and when the beloved EPA mandates something, you, dear customer, get hit with the fees to pay for it.

Windows has a lot of fundamental flaws where it decides that which it wants to do is far more important than what you want to do. Even Linux has a better UX than Windows does.

I'm so sick of the unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy waving their magic fee wand and lining their own pockets in the process. If this is so damn important, then Congress needs to quit being so effing lazy and pass a single-purpose bill. Oh, but that would put their future reelection campaign at risk. Screw that. Grow a spine.

I'm old enough to have seen what calculators, especially scientific calculators, did to education. They didn't make you smart. You still had to understand the underlying theory. The device just made the plug-and-chug part easier. They saved time. I'm also old enough to have been able to use early word processors only to have teachers refuse to accept a paper if it was printed on a dot-matrix printer. The content was irrelevant to these people. Only appearance mattered. A valuable life lesson but never tell a geek that they can't do something. A couple of us went out and bought a Dynatyper. https://www.computerhistory.or...

The internet changed the way college research was done too. Picture this: you're given an assignment to build an amplifier circuit for a specific application. Forget the course textbook. They answer or even similar examples weren't in there. So you went to the university library and looked up the topic in the card catalog. Maybe you found something that might work so you went to the stacks to find it. Some asshole checked the book out before the assignment was due and didn't have to return it until long after the due date. If you were ambitious and lucky enough to have other universities nearby, you went there. But you probably didn't find what you were looking for. Enter the internet and google. Now you can spend a day or two searching a far wider scope and may even find some better explanations of the subject matter than the professor's inscrutable lecture. Like the calculator, the internet makes things go faster but it doesn't eliminate the need for understanding the subject matter.

AI is the next stage in the evolution of research. Using AI as a research tool will reduce the time to get up to speed and you're likely to get answers to questions that aren't out of date like you do with Stack Overflow or YouTube.

Maybe it's me but wouldn't having some rides unique to each Disney location encourage people to go to more of them?
When they built Disney World, they didn't build a Matterhorn even though they had plenty of space to do so.

AI seen cutting worker numbers AT survey companies. On another note, it occurred to me that AI could create horoscopes that would appear to be far more legit than what you read in the newspaper because it would have access to information about you. Then again, it might also fail quickly because of inaccurate predictions that were supposed to be better because it knew more about you.

It's pretty obvious. All lawyers know how to do it make things more complicated for everyone else... so that you'll have to pay them lots of money to sort it out. What a racket.
