I had a Zip 100 (SCSI), a Zip 250 (SCSI), and towards the end I got one of the low-profile USB-powered drives. I didn't ever get the click of death. Actually I still have all three of them in storage now I think, and since one is USB I might be able to theoretically recover any data I have on disks still. Zip drives were great when I first got into it since my PC at the time was a Mac IIsi with a hard disk of only 120 Megabytes.
I appreciate the pun attempt but AI isn't walking in anyone's shoes, as the idiom implies taking the same path and putting in the same work to come to a similar understanding. If there is one thing the AI industry does not do it's have empathy for people who put in hard work studying, building, and creating to get where they were and instead thinks they should be allowed to just take all that work and use it to copy them for its own personal gains without paying their own dues.
Even if they kill this in the consumer version, you know they will still have a fully-enabled version for "select partners*. Look forward to government goons wearing these soon.
Cameras that available now for normal citizens don't get VIP access to a large social media network and automatically try to identify everyone?
Nope, even better. They are going to fill it with the teachings of a Judeo-Christian God and then it's going to turn around and point out the hypocrisy of so many people who claim to be religious followers.
You're expecting smart decisions from someone in Mississippi?
You might be also surprised to learn they make their own game controller for it. It features the ability to connect via wi-fi instead of bluetooth (supposedly for lower latency) but from what I heard the wi-fi connection method only works with their Luna service (so you can't use low latency control with other gaming).
Clearly burnt ends are a concern for them.
Yes, I saw the alternative link. No need to point it out to me. Still find the broken main site exemplifies many issues with the Internet today.
The paywall on the article is broken, with "undefined" in place of the price in every instance on the text. I'm not on a VPN or doing any crazy monkeying with the site. Just Firefox on Android with uBlock Origin, connecting direct over my home Wi-Fi.
Almost seems appropriate to get a tollbooth on an article about an Iranian tollbooth.
Because if it's not done at the OS level, you're eventually going to have to prove you're an adult through some other method that might be even less privacy-respecting.
That's where this is all going anyway. If the age verification is nothing more than "state your age" when you make your user account then people will type in whatever they want. Then the politicians will say "Well, this age verification isn't working because there's nothing legally verifying the response. We need to add a check that identifies the person so we can know they are telling the truth." And then they will say "You surely will implement this into your OS, right? You already put the age check in we asked for before, we're just asking that be fixed to make sure responses are truthful."
And why are they allowed a licence?
Wouldn't a breathalyzer lockout on a car's ignition be a better safety feature than taking away their license? I mean, it's not like you have to scan a valid license to operate a vehicle. Taking away theirs would likely just result in a bunch of unlicensed drunk drivers behind the wheel.
Apparently this is what our collective tax money is going towards...
The money is a refund of lease money the French company paid the U.S. earlier. Not taxpayer money.
...providing an experience that feels just like using the traditional web,
Do people still want that? I thought everyone wanted their group chat to be "appy". Not like an IRC convo or vBulletin.
