Don't give them ideas.

Very soon we may end up with Windows CoPilot after Windows 11.

And since CoPilot is supposedly AI enabled, it will self improve over time, and be the last OS from MS. We promise this time!

Comment Re:No encryption in 2019?! (Score 1) 85

Why would the satellite need crypto chips to recieve encrypted stuff if it's just supposed to send the same signal back in a different trajectory? Are they supposed to have some sort of compute facility on the satellite so they have to decrpt, do stuff to the data, encrypt and transmit?

If the commands to the satellite are also encrypted, they can just have a lower capability chip to decrypt the commands. Presumably commands to the satellite will not exceed 1kbps or so line rate(fire thruster X for Y secs at time Z, etc), whereas the actual signal/data/payload may have a much higher line rate, and so, if necessary to decrypt, may need a better chip. And even if you are going to update the firmware and need to send megabytes of data, it's not going to need real time decryption.

Don't know about boxing / MMA / kickboxing / similar stuff.

I don't watch / follow those sort of events.

If a couple of consenting adults want to beat each other up in a controlled environment, I dont see why that should be a problem for others (assuming they can handle whatever medical needs they may have after the encounter, and are not a drain on society).

Just cos I have no interest in such activities does not mean I want to restrict other consenting adults from taking part in such activities.

Comment How many suppliers are betting on AI over Apple (Score 1) 47

I think most suppliers know that Apple will be a long term customer, possibly for the next few decades or longer.

How long do the suppliers think the AI companies will be around? 2 years? 10? 50?

If I am a supplier, and I have multiple customers for my supply limited products, I will be careful about antagonising the customer who has a pretty good chance of being around long term, compared to customers who may or may not be around tomorrow.

Do I want short term profits and piss off a potential long term customer, who will probably remember how they were treated when supply was limited?

Nobody forces you to use this product or pay for it. Actually since it's free, you can even dont use it and dont pay for it and nobody will notice.

Not the developer. Not anyone else.

Don't like who is developing it? Dont like any notes or messages in it?

Dont use it.

Do you know Winrar, 7zip and a bunch of other commonly used software are developed / started by Russians? Or Chinese for that matter.

Again, like I said, nobody forces you to use those software.

Comment Re:These FB bans are insane... (Score 1) 24

Maybe they should set an account as read only (from the owner) instead of banning it totally. So the owner still has access to whatever content was uploaded by them.

Even allow them to put a single msg / auto responder to msgs, so that contacts can be informed where they are migrating to.

And after a year, delete the account, if still banned.
