The government told social media companies to silence people who were critical of Biden.
When did this happen? Citation, please.
You are aware that Joe Biden, while seemingly a nice enough guy, was wildly unpopular as a leader, including among the left? It was the Democrats, after all, who convinced him not to run for a second term.
Nothing what is being accused of here covers the act of monopolising. Following a common standard approach is not anti-trust, in fact whole bodies exist to standardise how things are done, and whole industry bodies self regulate the way industries operate.
What's being alleged here is closer to price fixing, which is also an antitrust violation. Hypothetically, let's say four major automakers got together and said, "We all know we have access to the latest in brake technology, but we collectively agree not to deploy it until two years from now," presumably for business reasons. That kind of collusion is illegal.
Everybody seems to be complaining
So I ask you (everybody): Is anything good? Cuz we ain't gonna have the Year of the Linux Desktop without a UI. Do we all switch to Enlightenment?
If they would reprocess it, much of that 3.6 million pounds would become either valuable nuclear fuel or totally inert scrap.
The rest would only last 200-500 years before becoming totally inert.
Who wizzed in your wheaties?
And I stand by what I said. Practically no phone that still works at all does it at the low level of a capacitor anymore.
Your comment is pants.
North Korea is using a TRS-80 running Eliza
Surely you know that's an absurdly dismissive opinion? North Korea has the capacity to gain access to anything anyone else does, especially if it comes from China.
Exactly. For example, spreadsheets were often used day to day but the accountants kept the actual books as books and had the final word. That changed over time, only after spreadsheets proved out (and got the bugs out).
Also, humans stayed in the loop. Sure there were occasional funnies like a medical database claiming a few male patients had a history of pregnancy, but humans were in the loop and cited those as obvious errors. There were still backup paper records to fall back on.
But a lot of people when they hear someone say "it's nowhere near ready for prime time" will claim the person is saying "It'll never work".
Back in the day when the "Board of Education" was an actual wooden board.
If they really wanted to serve the user, it would understand "Hey Google, lockdown now" and would power off and require a PIN to restart.
Long press doesn't do anything so low level anymore, it just signals the management processor in the radio that it should force the application processor off. The management processor keeps running.
The power button on the phone really is just a suggestion. To actually power off the whole phone you have to remove the battery (if possible) or let it run down to zero.
This is what happens when you give an AI agency.
You've got questions, we've got cellphones.
We don't know who it was that discovered water, but we're pretty sure that it wasn't a fish. -- Marshall McLuhan
