Comment Re: Expel them... [with extreme prejudice!] (Score 1) 240

I agree with the expel then answer. I see what you are suggesting, but the students weren't using the AI as a tool, but as a way to cheat. This isn't any different then using a camera to take a picture and then claiming it was something you "painted". A tool was used, but not to help, but to completely do.

I'm fine with using the AI to brainstorm, make suggestions, or even help with grammar and spelling. But once you tell it "do the whole thing for me", then you aren't doing any work/learning and are just cheating.

You can buy games for an XBox/Playstation from your local game store, they aren't limited to just the online market place. This makes it considered access to a 3rd party (different stores can and do charge different prices for the same game). Apple doesn't allow this, you can only buy apps/games on the iOS App Store.

It was supposed to fly to the Indian Ocean for a controlled re-entry, half the world away. Instead it exploded shortly after takeoff over Florida. It didn't even get close to what it was supposed to test. Tests are supposed to test certain parameters, not explode randomly at the start. This makes it a failure.

I know, it's hard, but you can learn.

"My battery died"

App doesn't work without power to the phone, and it's not always easy or even possible to charge a phone in the airport. Some just plain don't have charging options, and many that do are just broken because so many others abused the plugs.

And yes, accidents happen and there could be real reasons that the battery is dead by the time they get to the airport/flight (you have to have your ticket scanned before entering the flight.) (I've had a few times that my battery drained very fast because roaming in another EU country had issues connecting to a local network.)

Your iPhone was also available for sale untill 2022, and was dropped from support 2 years after that. I also noticed you said when it was released, not when you got it. I'm guessing you didn't get it then and so had a shorter support window. Too bad Apple didn't copy Google (again) with Google Play Security Updates, otherwise it would still be getting updates.

The real reason Musk wants to shut down USAid is because USAid gave his Starlink millions in support and contracts in regards of the Ukraine war. But then Musk randomly shut down Starlink in Ukraine and other issues with the funds given to them for this, USAid wanted to do an audit to see where the money went and was being used.

Now, suddenly instead of allowing that, Musk wants to them to be shut down. I wonder why he'd want to shut them instead of allowing an audit of how he used their money?

Except Canadians are allowed to use guns in self-defense. They are legally allowed to match threat with threat.

Here is an article that helps explain it better (and also links to the government so you can see it in writing): https://globalnews.ca/news/9503434/self-defence-canada-laws-milton-home-invasion/

And want to buy a folding knife, they are available everywhere, legally. Here are some at the Canadian shop House of Knives:

Comment Re:Termux? (Score 1) 16

Third instruction states to run a X11 server, which is another application (the two suggestions are also in the suggested links in the Termux wiki link I shared). So it's still not just Termux, which is what I was indicating in my original post. More overhead, more complexity, and possibility of more problems if one updates that the other doesn't like.
