Defrosting happens at any temperature above freezing. 50F is a perfectly reasonable max temp for a refrigerator. 50C is not.

First, they are refrigerators. They do not need to be connected to the internet and should not be, period. You want to remotely manage them? Use anything but the internet.

Second, why would you make them remotely accessible FROM ANY IP ADDRESS? Do you not know what a firewall is? A whitelist? Conditional access?

Third, why the fuck would a REFRIGERATOR need the ability to COOK anything? Did someone forget the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius and give them a max temp of 50C when it should've been 50F?

Fourth, vendors should be held liable for this shit. Manufacturers who provide always in fully connected devices should not get a "get out of liability free" card by saying "you should always upgrade to the latest firmware" and should be held accountable for producing REFRIGERATION units that can be turned into OVENS.

Fifth, and finally, as per the norm, I did not RTFA so maybe it mentioned this, but I'm willing to bet there were default passwords still in use. Yet another thing manufacturers should be held liable for. It shouldn't be possible to hook it up and start using it without configuration that requires setting reasonably secure credentials.

For roughly $60 you can buy a RPi 3 model B+ with a power supply, heat sinks, case, and SD card. Load it up with pi-hole & unbound and you needn't worry about any of the big players like cloudflare blocking DNS you want and you can block as much DNS you don't want as Quad9 or more on your own. You don't even need the RPi. If you have an old laptop or PC laying around you can probably run it on that. Just remember to use BOTH pi-hole AND unbound and don't point pi-hole at Google or cloudflare or quad9 resolvers.

And? Hypertext isn't 'the internet.' It's a logical extension to the concept of a page reference.

The complaining is rote at this point in the stages of grieving: "that's was never considered 'intelligence' anyways!' The thing we now care (and always did) care about is whatever AI is currently NOT doing because we have souls, just not quite all those dummies at Church used to say!!"

How do you see the future of gaming? Interacting with AI agents with per-programmed personalities and responses to everything? Pick you dialog from a list of 4 choices still? It's not going to be like that any more.

Depends entirely on the numbers and whether those resources are scarce in that place. If the datacenter ends up funding the expansions, and then the community make a profit every month forerever on supplying those utilities, it's a win.

It was very much built upon an existing code base. If not, what was the AI trained on then?

"Past performance is no guarantee of future returns" applies to any recorded dataset.

Not to recorded datasets, particularly. For example, that's the reason to think the sun will rise tomorrow morning - it always has.

When I think about AM radio now, I think about how Alex Jones was successfully sued for $99 bazillion for saying AM radio stuff. Where I grew up, Rush was always to be found on a channel or two.

Depends on "your idea" - was it exclusively yours, does it even constitute an "idea" by that point? I took a tour of Motorola and made a pre-service-launch phone call on Iridium in 1998. SatComms hasn't been an "idea" for many decades, it's a big area that advances with thousands of new ideas every year.

Any reason to disbelieve it or the benefits? Or just emotionally-centered anti-AI-sentiment?

Well if people are successfully blocking data center construction, their objections are a 'factual' problem for big tech. But people are just going to switch to complaining about blocking out the stars.
