The most common legal comparison, and the reason this law exists, was someone committing a crime over an analog phone line. What exactly are you supposed to do, have a live human listen to every call for a crime to be committed? Yeah, you CAN use tech to catch these people. The law still says you're under no obligation to do so (sort of).

With recent budget cuts, they actually just sent someone named Chandra to a Chinese buffet and observed that you do get pretty full at some point. It's actually somewhat logarithmic.

It was North Korea. Anyway, do not forget that Iran's own people are trying to overthrow the gov because months ago they chopped all the fiber connections. Iran has no internet unless individuals have satellite connections. I'm not sure their mobile or wired telecom even works anymore. That's why their people started burning down gov buildings and mosques before the US ever started attacking them. So this is the most obvious purposeful red herring ever.

"Guys, for real, we're doing fine financially. Ignore the dozen lawsuits and lack of stable income and customer perception of our products. We're cancelling Sora because we don't like it. That's the reason. Trust me!" - Sam Altman, probably (paraphrased).

Am I the only one who thinks anyone who puts this on their system is out of their damn mind? Unpredictable actions, potential backdoors that not even the creators know about, backdoors they do know about, purposeful telemetry, accidental telemetry, overheating, bandwidth usage, power usage...

If you weren't aware, they were caught targeting disabled, veteran, and other similar groups with their advertising campaign, knowing they were not eligible for the simple, free return. So it was a scam and they already paid a huge fine for that one in the past.

Chinese bots online are claiming they want them, not real people. Real people with half a brain don't want defective fire hazards that are rolling spyware-mobiles.

The timer is ticking before one of these drops a package or itself onto a person, causing an injury or death. How long do you think it will take?

OH NO, now they'll just have to put repeat offenders who clearly didn't learn their lesson back in jail where they belong. So tragic.

"Assuming charging infrastructure keeps pace with demand."
You can't even get that much electricity wired to your own property, let alone charging in the field. You get a depot with 100 of these, all trying to pull 100,000 watts+ at the same time, that's not going to go so well.

So you can't just open a fab and start running off i3's and Xeons. Are these ARM chips or something? What about patents? I assume there are so many that you basically can't even make a chip at a brand new company. But then again, he forgot you almost entirely can't cool computers in space so maybe he didn't look into this at all before signing the checks?

Remember the record fine for including Movie Maker in XP being monopoly abuse? Signing me up to One Drive with a gun to my head seems worse, don't you think? Anyway, unless the current CEO of MS leaves, this will not change. He the one truly behind this.

Their entire business model is people getting confused and thinking it's the same thing as Brave. It's actually a worse privacy nightmare than Edge, not to mention being designed for 10 year olds.

Yeah, they meant "adaptation" but evolution sounded cooler because they knew it'd piss off about half the humans on Earth.

"It did not impact compute, storage, database, AI technologies, or any other of the hundreds of services that we run."
"We save that for February 29th + 365, or as we call it...*CRASH*"
