I never activated Sirius, but twice a year they have a free week or so of music as a promotion. I don't do anything with or about that, but "weather alerts" start popping up. It's naturally windy in my neck of the woods so I get bajillion alerts that require pushing Dismiss while driving, but often cannot turn the alerts completely off because the Weather Alert "Off" feature is only available some of the time, but I cannot tell when without going into the menus, which present music options first. If it's not stealth spamming it's crappy UI coding. Either way, it sucks. I contacted Surius once and they said it cannot be fully deactivated. I may have a mechanic cut the antenna wire to Sirius but am afraid it would break GPS also.

but I can't track it down. Memory usage and disk/SSD look fine. I suspect either GPU or some weird OS stack gets full or confused. Windows 10 has a secret bladder that needs a diaper.

Yes, I know XiWare is likely snoopish, but so is GoogleWare. At least make the jerks compete.

Executives can't resist shoving a new spam channel into your face. Even if they can't use it immediately due to regulations etc., the possibilities make their greedy marketing glands swell with giddiness.

SiriusXM is already spamming my older model vehicle using tricks to get me to poke around in their music menu by pretending to malfunction. Long story, but here is similar behavior.

No evidence was given that math skills are atrophying because of AI, nor was that even claimed in the op-ed, which criticizes slipping testing standards.

It's race between cheaper and stingier. Like the Bungle of Hormuz, too early pick a winner

If the crash takes your job with it, you're still hosed.

that's where all the products & names are gradually converging, like a giant stench-filled black hole.

Anthropic, kill Gemini.

Gemini, kill Copilot.

Copilot, kill Siri...

Could have sworn I've seen a Slashdot story on this a few months ago.

Jelltifa!

...causing movements of weather systems to become more sluggish, producing more persistent heat waves. In Europe, reduced air pollution could be having a similar effect. Industrial emissions can contain particles called aerosols that reflect sunlight. Curbing aerosols has improved air quality, but it may also have altered the way air moves across the continent.

Don't let MAGAs hear this, they are itchin' for an excuse to pollute and deregulate.

STFU will win

...on 5th Ave. and not lose any investors.

anything that includes me without my direct permission at a dinner party... last time I ever speak to them.

I'd turn their spectacles into suppositories, giving them a free colonoscopy that they'll watch over and over clockwork-orange-style.
