Consider a number of Microsoft products, such as VS Code, have had the AI on by default, leaving people looking for ways to disable it. So, it is not out of line for people to not catch that Microsoft did the opposite first once. And even then, people are going to be suspicious that it won’t “accidentally” become the default in a future update.
The problem I have is they are being shoved stem our throats whether we want them or not. In many cases they work out to an investor jerk-off feature than real value.
The marketing item âoeuses AIâ comes off as more of a bio hazard symbol to me than anything useful. I interpret it as a lot of hand waving instead of real value. If AI is solving something useful then sell me that point, otherwise itâ(TM)s going to signal to me something that is cloud dependent and potentially near future e-waste.
The problem is not the heat from you computer or the heat from the power plant. Simply speaking, that heat would just vanish into space. The problem is the CO2, which causes heat to be reflected back to earth. And the reflected heat is mostly coming from sunlight, your 2000W computer doesn't contribute as much as the sun sends to us. Not even including the heat in the power plant.
True, now I need to look at what research says. Is it CO2 only, or is there a combined effect?
Though at the same time, human heat engines will have some sort of impact on the environment. To claim otherwise is fallacious.
Imagine your house at 10C and you turn your 2000W computer on, then you'll be warming that space to above the initial 10C. If enough human made machines are generating heat, then the environment will heat faster than what the environment will be doing without our influence. In the end, it is the humans and the other living species that will suffer from the resulting climate change. To the Earth we will just be dinosaurs V2, to be replaced with major species V3. At least the dinosaurs could claim they didn't know better.
True. Should be mandating businesses to use metric or dual unit display.
A lot of this is probably still an influence of the US being a trade partner, but given current politics, maybe this is a good time to further push the missing metrification?
Microsoft ruins everything they touch.
Right now GitLab is a potential alternative and you can even host it in your own network.
It'll be interesting to know if people spend more on games over the next year while hardware prices are high.
Possibly. Just consider the impact of RAM prices, to the AI providers .
You must recogniSe and speak the Kingz English. Got It.
The king is still head of state, so I'm okay with that.
he starts using the metric system. Then all hell is gonna break loose!!!!!,
Too late. That was already a thing in 1970.
The Administrator needs to unambiguously tell the EU, stop DSA actions against US tech companies or there will be negative consequences for the NATO umbrella.
You're right we should allow business to abuse monopoly positions, infringe on privacy and not give a damn about the negative social impacts. Oh and funnel money into tax havens.
Cases like this, make me feel that there should be laws against NDAs in the context of customer settlements.
Even when it's true, trying to deflect blame by publicly blaming the victim is usually a very bad idea. Their PR department was either asleep, not consulted, or vetoed.
But it feels proudly like an American way of doing business
Well, they won't be able to calculate how much the USA is giving up to other countries. Then again, given the current administration and hallucinating AI, they can just make stuff up?
It took 18 years of pointless clicking for bureaucrats to finally notice that they chose the worst implementation possible of cookie control.
Getting policy right is hard. Sometimes you need to prepare a mindset change or test out an approach, though certainly there are things that fail miserably due to unintended consequences. See this like developing software, but instead it is policy.
What will be interesting is how long before the W3C comes up with a solution that can work across browsers and websites, and then how long before it gets adopted by browsers and websites.
They probably did their research, for what people would pay, especially taking into account crazy fashion choices and the FOMO factor.
