You'd think that he would want the studio to be successful and make money so he can claim part of it...

It's not really Apple-like. They take the worst part of the Apple naming - the variants of their Phones which everyone agrees is confusing, adding the even sillier "Premium", applying them to laptops instead, but then using "Dell" as the base name!

Apple's laptops are "Macbook Air" and "Macbook Pro". In the past they had plain "Macbook" too.

What Dell is doing is like Apple coming out with laptops named "Apple", "Apple Pro", "Apple Premium", "Apple Pro Max".

So this is in addition to them not being able to read 24h-based time that's common everywhere else and they think only the military uses?

eSIM was never about customers, it was all about control. We obviously don't gain anything as consumers, we only lose. It's the same as the trend for everything to be remotely controlled and revocable. Be it the phone service you pay for, the movie or song or game you buy, even your car at times...

I don't know how to feel about this. I use an Android myself, but the iPhone is certainly not a monopoly. So if we impose non-monopolies to allow 3rd party sources to install software, does that mean that we should also force Nintendo or Sony to allow us to install homebrew games etc? I would think a company should be allowed to develop hardware that only runs their own software as a profit model (with some safeguards, like them not revoking rights to sold software etc), but if we agree that they shouldn't, surely this should apply to all companies? Nintendo/Sony are the direct examples...

It sounds like there is more to this. Satellites don't respect political boundaries. Also, a simple "loss of signal" happens when you park your Porche in a garage - it doesn't even have to be a multi-storey underground one, I bet the satellite signal is blocked easier than that. And yet we've never heard of any issue with this outside Russia, so there's more to the story than Porche being stupid thinking that they should disable cars who lose satellite connection.

Yeah, their Mars figure was correct, but they got the one in Iran wrong by a factor of 30. It's about 10mSv/year on average so 0.027mSv/day.

He should have pivoted to "Ha! This obvious AI-generated paper fooled so many researchers! THAT was my actual research into fake AI-generated papers!".

These were mass registrations by bots that were not used, disabled years ago. I see none of the privacy reasons, legitimate private email would not get into them any more than what already happens accidentally with people mistyping the intended recipient. This is a non issue, definitely not worth a post here. Even on reddit the top comment is release them, but as they are valuable ones (the bots got tons of "nice" ones), release them to paid users - which sounds fair to me...

You speak in riddles old man...

Why is this modded funny? It's sadly insightful.

I assume it is to tease people who do not have a compatible device? Hey look at these nice apps you can get if you buy an iPhone/iPad/Mac?

It's the lupus of the tech world.

I am not sure it's *your* DNA any more. Did you read the fine print?

I wouldn't say Python killed Perl - never mind "rightfully". Perl committed seppuku when they announced Perl 6, had a committee design a whole different language, and work on it for years, so people thought if they learned Perl 5, it would not translate into Perl 6, waited for Perl 6 for a bit but that was not happening, so the language sort of appeared in limbo/dead. It was many years later when Perl 6 was renamed to Raku to make it clear is a whole different language than Perl 5 (which continues to be updated with new yearly releases).
About the "rightfully", for beginners Python seems simpler, but that's just an illusion. Most programmers who have used both extensively will tell you Perl is more expressive. And they would take curly brackets over indentation anytime. Most importantly, you can't compare Python now to Perl, you have to remember that back then when Perl lost its popularity and Python rose, Python was painfully slow. Yes, it was significantly slower than (the slow) Perl in many things if you are old enough to remember. But, at the same time as Perl's self-inflicted wounds, Python also got some great packages in data science, which became quite important, so it got a lot of popularity from that.
I do prefer Python over Javascript, but I'd definitely have preferred for Perl to have remained the more popular of the two (and had grown like Python grew by having a larger developer community).
