Yeah cool. Tell me what does Amazon get in return by knowing that you tore down the extra wall between the kitchen and dining areas? They going to sell you something with this knowledge? No. All they "do" with it is allow their robot to vacuum that area. The horror. Having your device do its job. Lol

Submission + - Microsoft's update also breaks USB scanners (slashdot.org) 2

shanen writes: Not requesting a dupe, but the story died too soon for me to add the data point. I don't use the scanner often enough, eh? Not sure how to revive interest, but I actually think some stories should move down the top page more slowly, and this is one that probably deserved more than the standard one-day lifetime. Not sure when I remembered that some "USB topic" had gone past on Slashdot recently...

So I searched google and for some strange reason the google didn't return any links to the horse's mouth at Microsoft. What?

That provoked me into trying Bing and then Copilot, which produced a rather hilarious and infuriating discussion. Some of it might be amusing here, but I don't need the headache of getting sued by Microsoft if I dared to quote what their AI said. Much of the discussion involved "regression testing" and how little anyone should trust Microsoft. Confessions from the jackass's mouth?

Submission + - Feds Pump the Brakes on Autonomous Trucks (reason.com)

schwit1 writes: An obscure federal rule is slowing the self-driving revolution. When trucks break down, operators are required to place reflective warning cones and road flares around the truck to warn other motorists. The regulations are exacting: Within 10 minutes of stopping, three warning signals must be set in specific locations around the truck.

Aurora asked the federal Department of Transportation (DOT) to allow warning beacons to be fixed to the truck itself—and activated when a truck becomes disabled. The warning beacons would face both forward and backward, would be more visiblethan cones (particularly at night), and wouldn't burn out like road flares. Drivers of nonautonomous vehicles could also benefit from that rule change, as they would no longer have to walk into traffic to place the required safety signals.

In December 2024, however, the DOT denied Aurora's request for an exemption to the existing rules, even though regulators admitted in the Federal Register that no evidence indicated the truck-mounted beacons would be less safe.

Peter Thiel's take is pretty much denial and projection that he himself is creating the very thing that he thinks is christ. It's bizarre he's trying to start this movement even though most Christians think the exact opposite of what he does on the matter. Luddites won't be the antichrist, it's going to be christians who have long been trained to expect and reject the mark of, and worship of, the "beast".

1 - you're lying or just pretending to be naive. She picked one comment Refaat made on a debunked hoax - https://thegrayzone.com/2023/12/06/scandal-israeli-october-7-fabrications/ - fully knowing her followers it would paint a target on his back, as you can see by the death threats made by her followers - https://x.com/itranslate123/status/1719150855021064671.

2 - the only shit-posters are hasbara trolls like you, repeating paid-for lies like the "burned israeli babies" and defending a despicable person like Bari.
