They got hacked? TWICE? Didn't disclose? If only there were regulations about this and a government entity not fired by DOGGIE BOYZ to enforce.

QUICK, Someone, Anyone, give them Twitter (formerly X).

Can't wait to see the stock market tank (again) because of Orange-Soda-Boy, GambleGate, and DOGGIE.

P.S. "Gate" comes from the hotel name in the Watergate scandal. You don't just get to add "gate" to something and make it a thing.

What does that mean? What are the limitations?

> Setting an end date for checks...

Yeah, make up whatever you want. The UCC has guidelines and generally a year is the maximum.
> ...150 years is not difficullt, even in COBOL.

Good on you for making up stuff reflecting COBOL. Nothing in COBOL issues time limited checks -- not even the US SSA.
But it's ok. You probably meant Microsfot Paint.

Now all of that having been fun for the two of us, ACH/Wire info (the same in north America) lasts forever.
ACH auth is a civil contract not shared with the bank.

So really no.

None of which has to do with E2EE and EuroCRAP and fake law enforcement.

You can test this by asking it to count whether parentheses are balanced. If it can't do that, then it's not using the context window effectively.

For Turing machine level of computation, it will need something like scratch memory where it can go back and modify things it has written in memory.

I spent time complaining that programmers don't write elegant code, then I realized most of us can't even recognize elegant code, which is the root of the problem.

I can personally feel a 2 degree difference, but maybe you're insensitive.

In DC circuits the only power draw is through current. So knowing the current is enough.

The FBI used to investigate interstate crimes in the US. Now they perpetrate fake terrorists. When they walk in the room that "whoosh" sound is them sucking. They've managed since 9/11 to become a joke of their own selves.

And now Europe wants to emulate that, with "Europol." Because Interpol was ALWAYS a joke. Oooh, red card. What is this, soccer for dummies? No black card no yellow card what? And now Europol because if you put "Euro" in front of something you can bet it will be awesome... like the Eurowagon or Eurocopter or Eurotrash.

No thanks. Government can stay out of what software I run on my computer and what math I choose to do. If you don't like E2EE you can move to Africa.

Until. Of course. Afripol.

I've been using exclusively Linux since 1999. I know, I'm "older".

In that time I've spent $0 on Windows 2000, ME, Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10, don't "have to upgrade hardware" to 11, etc.
I've spent $0 on Office anything, haven't had my files HACKED 5 TIMES in 2019 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/10/02/microsoft-office-365-email-hacker-made-millions-heres-how/) or ever, and have switched from OpenOffice to LibreOffice only once. No hardship. no regrets.

I use my 2005 Dell XPS-13 for travel, have a backup one JIC, and my 2020 7540 for everyday use. They EASILY OUTPERFORM my friends and colleagues' brand new Windows 11 laptop and servers.

ROI in 25 years of not using Microsoft products: INFINITE.
Not having to listen to their prattle about how a monthly sub is better than buying their shite - it's still their shite - priceless.

If you don't know Linux or are afraid of Linux or use one of the three Windows-only programs out there (Quickbooks, or a couple of games not on Steam)... I'm sorry. Get a dedicated machine, DO NOT put it on the net, DO NOT download updates, DO NOT use DLC, just freeze it in place, take a snapshot of the hard drive on another hard drive you purchased just for this, and change nothing. It will work forever and your ROI will also be high.)

This is not to evangelize anything. Everyone picks their tool. If you're a Windows person or a Mac person or a Linux person, good for you. If you have a screw to turn, a hammer is a stupid tool. If you have a nail to pound a ratchet is a stupid tool. If you have a bolt to tighten a screwdriver is a stupid tool. So if you make it about a religion like "I get to use my Windows", hey you go, Girl. But your choice not to use the best tool is YOUR choice.

Wear steel-toed boots in case your chainsaw slips while you're turning that bolt with it.

Sure, he got paid near $0 to do near zero so I guess he got paid what he's worth - near zero.

This is like a leed into a book or a movie but all the "feel good" stuff is mixed in with Christian emoticons about "I was driving down the road and I felt I had to do tehe right thing."

This is like Craig Wright claiming to be Satoshi.

Nothing to see here.

Slashdot weekend came early. Sorry, BeauHD.

2025-04-02 (so you know it's not April Fools' Day)

95% of code OR MORE will NOT be coded by non humans b 2030-04-02.
AI is not a thing. LLMs are cute, but like Barbie and TEMU, games and yoyos are not real things.

Microsoft will continue producing nothing new by 2030, and "AI generated code" is one of those nothing new.

Just put it in your google calendar. It will still be around in 2030. And on April 2nd SkyNet will not be here.

What stupid "predictions" and "headlines" companies make just to get VC and PE money.
Quantum? Blockchain? Neuro? AI? No. Just lame.

You have never worked in an office. A single degree F delta is noticed by people who have very strong opinions on appropriate temperature.

The most difficult part by far is figuring out the power draw of your device. Unless you're building the system yourself, it's hard to know.

But beyond that, Watts don't make a lot of sense for DC current, you can know the power draw just by looking at the current. No need to confuse things by including the voltage. Amp-hours are fine. With AC you need to include the reactance, which is why it's useful to include the voltage and use watts instead of amps. (That is my understanding, it might be weak).

Nobody will switch from a massively government baked fiat currency to a "gamblecoin".

Crypto"currency" is a gamblecoin. Buy it today and hope someone wants it tomorrow for more.

All those CyptoBros making up discussions on "deltas" and "high lows" and the other terms they make up daily to "suggest" things will sell for more tomorrow than you buy them today are just plain toilet filler.

- Everything has a value. Crypto is $0.
- Everything has a price. Crypto (choose your coin) fluctuates.
- Everything has a future. Crypto is based on the concept that someone tomorrow will pay more (or less) than what you paid today.

All these are true of any fake commodities (crypto is a fake commodity because ... um... there's nothing there. You buy nothing. You own nothing. You sell nothing. But hey MATH and everyone takes a cut.)

Larry Fink is the CEO of nothing useful, has no useful opinions, and if he blew up right this second no market would react.

Bye Felicia. Oh sorry, Bye Finkecia.

No. Xiaomi is not a state-owned enterprise.
