I guess he lives in the US and speaks from his own experience?

I'm not against them removing the apps, I'm against the headline trying to make me feel a certain way. Present the facts, I'll decide how I feel about them.

When you put a bunch of cylinders in a box you by definition have wasted space.

When you put boxes in a box you can have no wasted space.

How does using cylindrical cells improve density?

Using cylindrical cells also means having to have more parallelism to achieve a specific capacity, which means more connections, which means less reliability. This is a big part of the reason why post-collision Tesla model S batteries are unsafe for RV power storage. You can't reasonably detect bonding faults.

More to the point, it's unsustainable to just let anyone do anything just because they want to. There's a broad range of behaviors which fall into that non-category, and some of them are fine because they're not hurting anyone and some of them aren't because they are. Right to swing fist, end of my nose, etc etc.

I enjoy vroom vroom noises myself but I also appreciate that there are more important issues at hand than my own selfish gratification.

You literally cannot prevent that in an app which can make consensual nude images. Therefore the word nonconsensual is being used in order to trigger people into having a specific opinion. A better description is "an app which can be used to create fake nude images" since it can't literally show you what someone would look like unclothed.

The interesting thing about that statement is that it's the fascists that have brought us to this point where we have all these highly polluting coal plants.

Indeed. And the crumbling of US infrastructure continues. Well, maybe AI can accelerate that effect.

They are if the end user can charge at home and aren't if they can't.
The intelligent thing to do would have been to mandate charger installation on new construction or any significant remodel or electrical system upgrade, years ago. But we can't agree to do things intelligently because we have to fight with each other over whether corporations have a right to make a profit. (They don't have one written into the law, but they seem to have a de facto one in that they can buy protectionist laws.)

I actually get upmodded a lot more than downmodded. But the religiously deranged have no honor, decency, integrity or working minds. Hence I try to insult them, as they deserve, whenever reasonably possible. The are really the worst of the worst the human race has to offer. Mass-murderers, torturers, corrupters, oppressors and worse. The quasi-religiously deranged (like the Nazis) have made real efforts to catch up in evil done, but they will forever only be 2nd place.

"Too low" to satisfy corporate greed, that is. Still entirely profitable, but what nice asshole CEO would not use a chance to rip of his customers.

It is a lie. Seagate just wants to increase profits.

In particular, Version 4 comes without any memory protection. Friend of mine, way back, wrote a C program that corrupted upper memory and, as an effect, his disk. I made similar mistakes, but DR-DOS just gave me nice memory protection errors. MS DOS was a complete piece of shit right from the state and never outgrew that.

Because anybody having a commercial interest in AI success is completely unsuitable to be a member in such a board.

Yes, that's my point. That limitation is crippling, and there was no good reason for the law to restrict their authority to navigable waterways, only a bad and corporatism-serving reason.

Cryptocurrency miners can buy land in a catbox state and put in a solar array. It's going to be cheaper than coal. Then they can mine while the sun shines. This isn't a move to stop cryptocurrency. This is a move to force coal plant operators to do what they claimed they were doing all along. We can find coal plants emitting more than they are legally allowed as fast as we can pay people to sample their emissions.
