They are smart enough to know an ID law when they see one

These drones are used for things which affect ordinary people so we'll be paying for them as part of our purchases and taxes.

The judge is ordering equivalence.

Because a raspi can do the job they are presumably doing with it. There's no need for this class of hardware unless you're really incompetent.

Oh wait, we're talking about Russia...

Lolol of course they can. The data doesn't actually belong to the intermediary and it certainly doesn't belong to iron mountain. It's good that they required a court order, because the party requesting the data is not the party that provided it, but it's still the PBS station's data and they still have a right to it.

Companies used to make a profit by selling things people wanted to buy

It might have been due to use of an automated tool which imports PDFs to text

They made their platform mandatory, that's tying and it's normally illegal

That free app increases the value of Apple's devices. The developer should be paid, not charged.

Did you miss [reading about] the 1940s?

Microsoft's roots run deep, and into the hearts of corporations and governments. Linking the hot thing of the moment into that plant, however badly, is what separated Microsoft from IBM. Big Blue's massive and iconic familiarity was the result of a happy accident they did their level best not to repeat, while Microsoft was always and remains happy to play to the demands of the moment to the detriment of security and reliability. Nothing has ever really changed with Microsoft regardless of CEO except that they've become more willing to throw things away and start again — but of course they still make the transitions from one thing to the next in the same way in which they do every thing: with hands of ham.

Good thing for them lock-in works!

Microsoft would simultaneously have you believe that their products are so good people can't help but want to use them, and that China is a hard place to sell a product in successfully so of course it only makes sense for them to withdraw.

Fact is, all of Microsoft's products are outshone by someone else's now, and many of them are free, and most of them are even Free!

Microsoft has already been transitioning towards being a service company more than a product company with Azure and 365. They are an IBM or Oracle now. Nobody wants most of their products, but they have legacy products that it makes sense to put them next to. If you were starting from scratch today, you'd start with something else.

Yes, I agree, but it's insensible. The competition isn't going to wither because they have to compete with everyone, since it's an internet-delivered service. Plus, the industry is ripe for new developments from previously unknown players. Transformers made LLMs viable. What's the next development on that scale? It is of course unguessable, but if it doesn't come from Anthropic, they're not special.

They are never going to stop the hallucinations. They might get more rare but there is currently no path to that which does not involve a lot more processing time, and the AI DCs are already an issue.

Destroying Microsoft is great!
