I remember when an entire Big Mac Extra Value Meal was $4.99 :-(

I would think dynamic pricing would be super-obvious to the customer unless they are limiting it to specific price points. Market-based pricing has been a thing for a long time for other products. I already suspect it's used in retail even in my own town when I can go to Wal-Mart on one end of town and find deals different than the one on the other side of town. This just means the end of nation-wide ad campaigns for Mc.D's I guess.

Probably because "Who is waste is it?" doesn't make any sense.

That's like a chef saying he's not responsible for poisoning people when he used spoiled food, because he didn't raise the animals or grow the crops. He still made the choice to cook using them with their questionable quality. The diner isn't always able to see all issues before they consume the dish.

The summary says they were testing OLEDs, so you need multiply that price by ten. ;-)

Likely had them all ready at the same time, but are staggering the releases to keep the Google name fresh in the news in relation to AI.

Well if we're talking about a game streaming service, yeah. They're paying a monthly fee for a service they essentially aren't using. Clearly getting paid for less service delivered will be more profitable than getting the same fee for someone using it out the wazoo and being demanding about things like frame rates and latency.

just wait till you see the upcoming Dyson bidet.

Ah, a new strategy. "If you don't support data centers you're Unamerican and clearly a Chinese asset."

I'm arguing against a narrative that uses bigotry and fear for political gain, and you're turning that into me being the racist one? Fascinating.

Yeah -- because you can't connect your shiny new AI data center to the grid if there's no hardware to do that.
Interesting the people most in need of this stuff right now, and the most desperate to get their projects up and running fast, also happen to have very deep pockets, too.

How often do political dissidents disappear? Something tells me they don't make records for that public, unlike all the crimes they like to blame "illegals" for (ignoring the majority of arrests for these crimes are of Caucasians).

Still plenty of time to utilize in a manhunt for diss^H^H^H^H escaped convicts.

He'll launch an investigation into a rich tech company and become a "c" in what is an a-b conversation between OpenAI and Hugging Face in hopes of extracting a large punitive fine from the former to shore up their financial situation.

It makes a great test target before a larger, more coordinated attack happens, though.

Not so much, no. Modern cars have single infotainment systems that include the air conditioning, navigation, etc, all tied into one unit. An aftermarket system isn't going to be able to interface with the climate control system on different makes/models. My car is a 2004 -- over 20 years old -- and even though the stereo and the climate controls are technically separate components, they are together in the same (proprietary) section of the dash (no DIN or Double-DIN slot). Replacing the stereo means getting third-party controls for the A/C. The alternative is removing a lower storage pocket to add a installation bracket for the new stereo and having a "dead" (non-functional) factory stereo remain above.
