I thought it was an air bed, and breakfast!

ROFL.

But in most places in the US, the peak power usage is air conditioning. Solve one problem, make another worse.

Nope. Can't happen. The whole theory is fucking batshit. There is an equal chance of lizard people from Neptune taking over humanity. The provenance of both stories is equally credible.

See if I just said lizard people from Neptune you'd just say that's ridiculous! When I add the take over humanity part, you say of course those fucking lizards would, they want our freedoms or oceans or people meat or some other shit we pretend to care about.

That's why you believe in AI singularity bullshit. You don't have the foggiest beginning of a clue how information theory can even support the concept, but you're afraid. The fear makes it real. Like being afraid of the dark makes whatever isn't out there feel real. It's a weakness, don't know what else to tell you.

The ability to stargaze and an increased probability of burning down my house. How dare they take house burning away from me! It makes me so bad it makes me want to set something one fire... like a house! Wait... OK, so just stargazing.

"usually"? I think you mean post PS3 when they started making x86 based systems. Anyway, designing, testing, and coordinating the construction of millions of these takes time. So sure, "out of date" for children with no grasp of what goes into building hardware, but when the systems are designed, they are cutting edge.

I'm glad you have to pay more for groceries, you were eating too much.

It's "scary month," so we need to throw around the scary words.

VACCINE! mRNA! VACCINE! Medical Establishment! VACCINE! Scientific consensus!

Ooooooooo......

Racists sure get angry when you call them out.

She is unambiguously white, though.

She does have hazel eyes, though. Probably a lizard person. (/s)

She knows nothing about how technology works. THAT is the reason not to quote her about tech.

Then men shouldn't be listened to about abortion since they know nothing about a woman's body.

I did a web search "Zoe Kleinman cookies" and it didn't turn anything up. I guess it isn't a prominent example of her reporting.

Also... she's primarily a television presenter. Not a person who writes the stories.

She's now also "BBC Technology Editor," but note that she is the first person to serve in that role. Longtime readers of BBC content, or listeners, (and I assume watchers, though I don't watch their television programs) know that they do not include "technology" content targeted at programmers or engineers. Their coverage of technology covers two areas: Business, and Consumer Products. There is not, and never has been, coverage of technical aspects of anything. If they're talking about "cookies," they're explaining it to a grandma who thinks it is a segue into a baking program. You have to know the context and audience to weigh the content. If the explanation is silly, it doesn't mean the writer doesn't understand cookies.

Anything that around technology that is actually "news" and isn't a business, culture, or consumer story would be published by their Science reporters and editors.

TLDR; you're too stupid to talk about the BBC.

Apparently you live in a weird cave where you can only access slashdot and right wing social media, maybe faux news, so I'll give you a spoiler:

Most of the BBC editors (who choose the content) are old white men with a history of sexual harassment complaints. It should be your kind of content.

My friend filled up his bathtub with water on Dec 31st.

About a week earlier he found a giant sale on Earth Sugardrink at the discount warehouse and bought a whole pallet. If society collapsed, the water might not be safe to drink for awhile.

Fast forward two years, he had diabetes. I wish I was joking.

You people like to lie, don't you? All covid vaccines underwent trials before given to the public. Those trials are how we know of any potential side effects. The ones you people keep claiming were never known.

You must be one of those who claims there's never been a double-blind study for vaccines even though they've been done. This article, published before covid hit, lays out the lies people like you put out and why they're lies.

And here's the results of a double-blind study on the effectiveness of the MMRV vaccine from 2016. How timely considering Kennedy lies about the measles vaccine.

The reason it seemed that way to me was that it was invented by an idiot who thought programmers were stupid and arrogant and programming could be made "easier" by somebody who just ignored (or didn't learn) traditional algorithms and best practices.

Somebody who thought code architecture was lame and unnecessary.

Of course bad things happen. Again. And again. And again. And are still happening decades later.
