I am revisiting the series Silicon Valley before I go to bed right now. That is such a Gilfoyle comment.

Is BYD and its ilk from China the only quality cars available on the planet and we are being prevented from that?

I can buy Ford, GM, Tesla, Stellantis (LOL), Toyota, Audi, Porsche, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Kia, Hyuandai, Mercedes, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Land Rover. I'll stop there.

This is about China. Is it the right way to handle the issue? I'm not so sure. There should be reciprocity in how much the government gets to be involved in being in the market. Whatever China requires to be reported or involved in our products, we should exact the same standard.

God bless Slashdot for not letting those dirty AI LLMs wrestle their way into this pristine cathedral of tech and individuality.

I do the same. It isn't a critical health device but I learn a lot about what makes the numbers move. OJ spikes it up. Oatmeal spikes but settles faster. Peanut butter or almonds and cashews will mute the spikes.

Does anybody read anything?

From the summary: "The free feature, part of Xfinity Shield, can send activity alerts through the Xfinity app and offers Home, Away, and nighttime monitoring modes"

From the link: "An opt-in feature of WiFi Shield, WiFi Motion is turned off by default. Use the Xfinity app to access the feature, toggle it on, and follow the setup process to configure your WiFi Motion coverage. Once activated, you can adjust settings, view activity, and access a feed of WiFi Motion events from the Xfinity app."

This place really has the Reddit stink lately.

So when will AI take over the world? One of the most recognizable names in tech history, still active. Does anyone who posted or at Slashdot review? Of course not. Could AI fix this problem? Probably so.

I believe that was MAGI. I was making right around that number and didn't have problem getting 7500 (fed), 2000 (state), 3000 (air quality district) as a rebate. It took my Model Y LR down to the mid 30k range.

Such a 2020+ type of paragraph.

I assume you are talking about the real, the OG Dick Pick. The brains behind the Pick database and OS, a visionary of databases ahead of his time.

Or was that just a crass joke?

One thing Roku has done well is make it easy and relatively cheap to get the device going as a streamer. As I went from real cable to streaming including YouTube TV, their devices were easiest to use especially on TVs that weren't "smart" (another topic altogether). In my case they are also good when helping elderly parents downsize and use more basic streaming for TV.

I have had a stick die. Those things get so hot. The streaming speakers are pretty good. Our guest room has the branded TV. For the price, I think $140 for a 40", it's been great, but yeah the prices are going up.

I did go Apple TV streaming device on the family room setup and it's really different and better quality.

At the new price increases, I probably would go quality on Apple next go around.

Do you just say shit without even trying to confirm. Look up the complicated structure of Australia and New Zealand. Or are they honorary Europe. So a bunch of modern countries use it and some don't and some split the difference. How the hell did you get Insightful for 3 remedial, useless sentences.

Where the LLMs shine is they all know that "loosing" is actually "losing." Not only that, but they all know that the 3rd person possessive is "its" and not "it's." They are good for certain things.

Don't short stocks. Period. The loss potential is unlimited and you will get margin called if it keeps going up.

If you really want to short SPCX, buy puts on the options market. Your max loss is the cost of the put.

Also, if an inverse ETF gets created eventually, don't do that as the child thread suggests. Inverse ETFs have a specific purpose, same as the leveraged ETFs. They are intended for day trading and short term hedging. The ETFs have to settle positions daily so there there isn't a perfect correlation the the actual rise and fall of the underlying security.

Enjoy. I bought 10 lousy shares at trading started. I always kick myself for not being more aggressive, not much of a risk taker. That little trade is up 30% so far, still holding.

Interesting and no idea if any of what you say is true. I don't really care. I mod rsilvergun as I see him on a case by case basis and that includes an occasional "I" rating, maybe 5-10%. About 1/2 I don't do anything. If I'm going to mod, there has to be a "there there." The rest is Flame, Troll, and sometimes Funny even if it's not the intent of the post.

Because it's much simpler to just assume everyone eats lunch around Noon and there is daylight before and after lunch.
