It will run MacOS, not iOS.

They aren't really. The name was re-used by a NFT company starting in 2022. That's who we are talking about in this article. The original has been dead since 2010 or 2011 after a number of lawsuits from the RIAA (including one seeking $72 Trillion (yes, with a T).

VirtualBox is a type 2 desktop hypervisor, it's not a replacement for a type 1 baremetal hypervisor like VMWare ESXi. Closest thing from VMWare that VirtualBox could replace is VMWare Workstation.

oh yea, they are the ones who bought Evernote and jacked up the price by like 200%. Cancelled my sub when they did that.

That is one risk, however the real danger here is if they create a organism that can photosynthesis. Reverse-chirality bacteria would have a hard time metabolizing anything in their environment, and most likely would not have time to evolve the ability to do so. Photosynthesis doesn't rely on molecular input for energy. If some crackpot created reverse-chirality blue-green algae and it got into the ocean somehow, it would be able to grow almost unchecked. And since nothing consuming it would be able to metabolize it for energy, it would poison the food chain at the very first link. That would cascade pretty fast with devastating results.

Although on the up side it would pretty much solve global warming. They would consume massive amounts of CO2 and push out O2. Bye bye warming, hello ice age.

Big broadcast networks donâ(TM)t use the must carry rule because if they did they wouldnâ(TM)t be able to charge carriage fees. Only religious channels and home shopping networks who would have to pay the cable companies to carry them try to use that rule.

Good to know God approves of my coke habit.

Company adds new feature to old hardware, only requires that you get a new hub that can support the feature if you want to use it, doesn't tie it to a subscription or charge for the upgrade, and a bunch of you on here are complaining about it.

You guys deserve all the enshitification you get.

eh? I have probably a dozen original Hue bulbs plus a handful of newer bulbs and strips. Except for one I dropped and broke, they all still work. I upgraded my hub once, but that was because I got a deal on some bulb+hub kits not because I had to upgrade it. Yes they require a hub but they work perfectly fine offline from the phone app so even if they did shut down the back-end, you would lose remote control outside your home (if you don't VPN back) and some integrations like Alexa but otherwise they would still work.

Not if they want to keep Google services (Google Play store, Google pay, etc) on their phones. Those are not part of the open-source Android OS and come with a ton of strings attached. The side loading change applies to all phone makers who ship Google certified Android devices (which is basically all phone makers shipping Android outside of China domestic market), not just Google branded devices.

Amazon supports passkeys.

That's a lot of work when you could just get a Brita or other carbon filter. It would remove the chlorine easily. Or add a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide (the low concentration kind like you can get in almost any supermarket or pharmacy).

That easy to fix with one act of congress (or with an illegal presidential order) giving them regulatory power over the internet.

I agree. The internet should be treated like the public air waves with the FCC having regulatory control of anything that uses it to communicate. There should be a licensing scheme to control it and they can use the license fees to help boost their budgets. Big tech gets licenses like broadcast networks, businesses get business class licenses, and then issue amateur style licenses to individuals.

Grok 3's "personality" was pretty great, but it didn't really help it when it came to being an actually useful AI (other than dunking on Elon and MAGA all the time). They did tone it down for Grok 4. It's far less sarcastic and playful. They still haven't fixed that looping problem Grok has though.

OpenAI also cooled down GPT 5 compared to 4o to make it more useful for business (sycophantic traits tend to increase errors), and then all the "AI is my SO" folks freaked out. Honestly eye opening how many of them there are.
