People keep saying it's hard to get a non-blurry picture of them.

Some have suspected somebody has gravity bubble tech which would bend the light.

This thing just spins but isn't itself a disc, though on average it's s disc while in motion.

Post WWII-Germany/Paperclip there were more visible saucers seen over Washington and such but the Germans were developing solid discs. The blurry ones are more over the past few decades as drone tech has become common.

Curious.

> I don't know why anyone would send one in any other format.

I'm told by attorneys that Office is nonnegotiable in Law.

Microsoft could probably raise the price to $500/mo and they'd get it.

Should a citizen be required to pay a creepy Redmond company to interact with the Courts?

It"s at least Unconstitutional in New Hampshire, likely other states as well.

Not that Courts themselves care about Unconstitutionality very often. Nor do they personally pay anything for Office. Empathy tends to be low.

But if one wants to make a decent argument that is a good one.

Agree, but finals are over and many teens and college kids are the ones running linux.

"Windows is for Boomers" they say.

It's at least plausible that usage dipped as the end-of-year school workload spiked.

You should answer this question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Wrong, it's a slight of hand. This is not about individual cameras, this is about the network that uses all cameras together to follow you no matter what you do, no matter where you go, people shouldn't have a government that follows their every step by using AI and networked devices. If this was about individual cameras you would have a point, it is not, it is unreasonable to allow a government to exist that creates a panopticon of this scale, citizens shouldn't feel like they are inside a prison and the warden is watching.

> How many people does it take to run a data center after taking up all this property and all this land that could have been used for something else?

Some medium number of H1B's?

No, the jobs are not going to the citizens of the county where the citizens are subsidizing for all this for their own enslavement.

Who would ever believe such a thing after the Covid lies?

I know someone who really wants to be an electrician's apprentice but the same three slots that have existed in this metro area for the past decade are the same three slots that exist today.

Ah, well, there are pointless wars to fund and Surveillance Bros to enrich.

> Electrical Workers

Damn, son, good catch.

Some of them do metal stud framing. "Framers" might be more accurate?

> I could have done myself if the government didn't require a licensed install?

Are you going to call the cops on yourself?

Nobody pays attention to cartels where I live.

Their War on Energy has to be about depopulation at this point. They've destroyed 20% of world oil, sulfur, helium, fertilizer, natgas, and now they're going after the building blocks of home solar installs that could help people cope.

At the same time the RFP for Draft Management Software closed today.

Even Alex Jones is calling for impeachment. They've gone totally off the deep end.

Power Inverter means:
A bi-directional power device or system that converts direct current electricity to alternating current electricity, or converts alternating current electricity to direct current electricity, to include microinverters, string inverters, central inverters, and hybrid (battery-based) inverters; and Contains components that enable remote communication, control, sensing, data-collection, or monitoring through Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, or other similar connections.

Everything useful has Bluetooth in it now. That's how you hook it up to Home Assistant. Somebody should tell the FCC that Bluetooth doesn't reach to China.

Imagine all the crime the Bell System was used to perpetrate!

So many Russians use Telegram, including front-line soldiers.

There's more to this story that we don't know.

Exactly. I think this is salty people who desperately want the AI bubble to pop and for it all to be a scam of 'stochastic parrots' and a modern Mechanical Turk. It somehow offends their humanity and they are sure there is a vast capitalist conspiracy to defraud everyone. The fact is some asshats like Altman are indeed overhyping BUT that does not change the fact that my team of programmers got cut by 30% yet we are kicking out bug fixes and new features faster than ever. At higher quality too because now a lazy developer isn't half-assing the testcases.

Agreed 100% about hard to predict. I love this analogy from Geoffrey Hinton: it is like driving in a fog. Your headlights see only a few meters ahead and then there is an impenetrable wall of fog. Anyone who tells you they can see exactly where the road is heading a mile ahead is selling you something.

trick a whole new batch of kids into massive piles of education load debt.

Consider: The internet is, and for YEARS has been, completely awash in so-called influencers. NONE of them got those positions by getting a degree. NO DEGREE EXISTED OR WAS REQUIRED. The dumbest people on Earth were capable of teaching themselves to be influencers. The primary "skill" in many cases seems to have been "willing to do something outrageous that was beneath what others were willing to do, no experience required".

When a college/university starts a degree program for something flashy and current, but which has existed for years with no degree programs or degrees at all, the purpose cannot possibly be that society has a need for people trained in this supposedly new thing. The Professors involved have nothing to profess. The people with all the experience are clearly NOT the ones in academia who plan to expound upon this subject, for a premium price. This is all about making money from a new generation of kids whose families insist they should go to college but who have no deep desire to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc and simply want to be the next Kardashian... it's another trick to get kids to sign-up to be the pipeline of cash where a kid gets a loan of government cash, hands it to a college, and then the kid is on the hood to repay it while the college laughs and the kid is left with a career as a barista or a lifeguard.
