Comment Re:Reality is setting in (Score 1) 203

So, building out gas stations all over the country and regularly shipping fuel to each one of them was doable, but connecting chargers to the existing electrical grid is too difficult?

When the grid is barely adequate for the existing load? Yes, building out infrastructure for a fleet of battery-powered devices is pointless, unless you want to also build out a shit-ton of generating capacity to back it up.

You thought wrong. I have seen Vizio TVs at Costco, although not in a while.

My first LCD TV was a 30" Vizio, purchased at Costco the better part of 20 years ago. At the time, it was a relatively inexpensive HD TV from a company nobody had heard of, but it worked like a champ for me...until some asshole broke into my condo and stole it. :-P

Comment Two Industries Will Utilize AI (Score 5, Insightful) 44

Pornography and Scammers

Not so much the first, but the second, scammers, will utilize AI so much that they will ultimately make legitimate usages of the tech be put under so much scrutiny as to render it useless. Basically I am saying there will be so many AI scams that people will by necessity cast a doubt on anything they see or hear.

I'll never set foot in the shit hole any way. Or any other shit hole, where people, who I have no desire to be around, have packed themselves so tightly as to require abandonment of entire swathes of the human experience.

So, go ahead and hari-kari your own self, just leave me out of it.

...or SmartTube, which also supports SponsorBlock.

What I'd really like to see is an alternative YouTube client that supports Invidious, so you can move your subscriptions off of YouTube's servers. Invidious works pretty well in a browser window, but an app that runs on Android TV, talks to an Invidious instance (I run my own; it's pretty easy to do), and includes SponsorBlock support would be great. I might even be willing to cut a few bucks loose for such an app. :)

Comment Re:HPE DL380 Gen 11 Server - Locks out SAS Drives (Score 1) 166

Is this real? Do you have a link to verify this?

They've been doing this for several years already, starting at Gen 8 with their "SmartCarrier" trays. This caught me out when I bought a server and some drives separately and set about bringing up the assembled server. See here for more information. I was eventually able to bring it up after putting the drives in a different knockoff SmartCarrier-compatible tray that I found someplace.

I'll start worrying about Nazis when I see them putting little boys in dresses and cutting off their dicks. Until I do, I'll do my worrying about the people who really are putting little boys in dresses and cutting off their dicks, and they aren't the Nazis. Nazis would be a step up.

When the targets of this technology will simply move to technologies not controlled by big tech.

Funny how when you put the squeeze on the free flow of information it tends to leak out from a direction you were not expecting..... Google, Microsoft, Apple honestly are stupid enough to think they are the Gatekeepers. They are minding gates where the sheep pass, not where the wolves roam free.
