Cuba has got so much money to pay for all of that "help". /sarcasm. More like Cuba is entering into voluntary servitude (like they are so used to doing with Russia and Venuzuela), selling out the country so that China can gain a geo-political advantage on the USA.

It's like wanting to see the fresco painting "'Monkey Christ", when AI decides what you really want is the original painting. Nah bro - I want Monkey Christ - that shit is a modern day masterpiece.

If some help documentation says "hit the 'tab' key" and the key says "tab" then there's no ambiguity. I'm all for text. And if someone can't read, they probably shouldn't be using a computer.

All the AI players are playing a game of chicken. The first one to blink (start charging money with paywalled services) will lose a shedload of users. The remaining AI players then get a huge boost in users. The end-game is to be the last one standing, and then when there is no where else free to turn to, start charging monopoly rents. Google has deeper pockets than OpenAI. That's why the latter is desperate for Microsoft to buy them. Anthropic would be in the same boat.

Every movie seems like some derivation of Wonder Woman, where some "girl boss" unrealistically kicks the shit out of 10 guys or something stupid like that. I mean I know that you have to suspend disbelief in movies but c'mon - it's fucking ridiculous now.

When people confuse computers with the internet. Age-gating a computer is not age-gating the Internet! Believe it or not - you can do a lot with computers without getting online.

Not a good metric. Everyone knows that Linux has a much higher percentage of gooners.

Yes definitely. Just so long as it doesn't have to "phone home" before it gives you access to that music, you're golden.

This has touched a raw nerve. I like nature photography in remote places, and music gets me into the creative flow state. One time I was driving from one New Zealand coast to the other and before I did that, I saved all this music to my phone using Apple Music. But in the middle of NZ, Apple Music wouldn't let me play the music as it wanted to log online to make sure my fucking subscription was still valid before I could play the music already synced to my fucking phone, and i couldn't do that as i had no fucking Internet. I was furuous! (Sorry for the cussing) So then I went to Spotify, and the same thing happened in the middle of an Australian desert. These aholes keep jerking me around so I said SCREW YOU ALL and now I just rip songs from my favorite CDs and load them onto Poweramp. An absolute joy with no issues hiking and photographing through Nepal. Never again will I have a music subscription and rely on the network for my music. NEVER AGAIN. Fool me twice...ya can't get fooled again. I

Goodbye cable. Goodbye ðY'

Damn, you got me to lol

Feed a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he can sustain himself. Or something like that.

Because it's the USA's job and no one else's to do this in perpetuity (possibly for thousands of years) using money it doesn't have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I'm surprised it even requires 3D acceleration.

And if those use cases never materialise, then you are wrong. At some point, new use cases dry up. I think we have already reached that point. Even PCIe 5 SSDs were not necessary. I stopped caring after PCIe 4.
