Comment Re:Power failure (Score 2) 171

I also live in Quebec. Power outages lasting more than 24 hours are a yearly occurance where I live. And it used to be much more often. Twenty years ago, we had at least five 24+ hours outages in just one year.

And it's not a matter of power companies, since all of Quebec has the same electricity provider: Hydro-Quebec.

Like some other posters have mentionned, Urban dwellers seem to be unaware of the different reality of rural living.

The only reason people are dying is because Putin is dropping bombs on them. It is not NATO's fault, or the US's fault, or Europes's fault.

The fault lies solely on Putin, his criminal family, and all the fucking shills like you who support him. You have the blood of every dead ukrainian civilian man, woman, and child on your hands.

Whether Russia, Ukraine, NATO, the US, etc, was right or wrong is irrelevant. When conflicts arise, adult, mature, decent human beings sit around a table and negociate. They talk to each other. Mass murdering psychopaths drop bombs on civilians.

I have nothing more to say to you, you mass-murdering piece of shit. Burn in Hell.

90% of posts so far are negatively critical of this. An although some of those posts bring vaguely technical reasons (most of which are either irrelevant of easily worked around), we all know the REAL reason for all the hate is deceptively simple:

Jack Dorsey.

Not onlike all the hate directed towards spacex and tesla; Elon Musk.

Am I the only one fucking sick and tired of human nature ?

Elon Musk is not a conservative. Nor a liberal. He's whatever he needs to be at any given moment.

When federal money was raining on his brand new telsa factory he was all for left-leaning, social governement. And all conservatives hated him, and liberals loved him. But when said governements started annoying him about things like, you know, safety regulations, worker's conditions, etc, then he turned all anti-governement, pro-business, "I'm-going-to-move-everything-to-Texas" right-wing conservative. And sudenly, all conservatives started loving him and liberals started burning teslas.

Trump is the same. He was a card carrying democrat for more than four decades and a good friend of the Clintons... Until he decided to run for president, when he instantly switched to conservative for logistical reasons. And now conservatives think he's the second coming of Christ (literaly).

Musk and Trump are opportunistic sociopaths. They are whatever the fuck they need to be at any given time to court whatever part of the population they need to court in order to accomplish their goals.

Comment A perfect example of disconnect (Score 4, Insightful) 49

When we were thinking about this project, we thought that AI will improve [consumers' willingness to buy] because everyone is promoting AI in their products

This is a great example of the complete disconnect that exists between the intellectual class and the population in general. And you can see similar disconnects with other classes like scientific, business, and most of all, political class. People living in these silos almost exclusively interract with other people in their own silos, and they come to believe that their specific way of thinking, values, etc, are representative of the population at large.

I'm sure that Gursoy guy was genuinely surprised by the results of his study, while for most of the rest of the population these results were entirely predictable and completely obvious.

Looks like a lot of people missed your "nuance". In my case, I'm an autistic nerd and english is not my native language, so that might explain it. But it won't prevent me from offering you my apologies. But you might want to go easy on the "nuance" on this site. Slashdot is not kind to shades of grey that are not black or white.

I already knew nucleartards had questionnable morality and ethics, but conflating those opposed to uranium/plutonium fission reactors with other groups usually despised by right-wingers hits new lows and really shows your true colors: homophobe, racist pieces of shit. You're almost overshadowing trumptards.

I could have used my 15 mod points to downmod all of you all to hell, but unlike you, I have some ethics and I never downmod anyone simply because I disagree with them, although your tone alone, regardless of your content, would have clearly been worth a "flamebait" mod.

Now, go ahead nucleartards, mod me down to hell, because that's what morally corrupts shitstains like you always do. I have karma to spare.

Oh and please, cut the "save the planet" bullshit. You clearly don't give a shit about your children and granchildren since you're willing to leave them to deal with the shit that current nuclear reactors will cause for centuries to come.

Unless they forget what hardware they install in their computers. Over the decades, I've had lots of Apple hardware fail because they removed a driver for hardware they were using in one of their models, especially hardware that wasn't fully PCI compliant.

I'm sorry but I'll have to ask you for specific examples of that. To my knowledge, all macs running the latest version of macos they support have all their internal hardware fully functional. But if I'm worng, please enlighten me.

Audio hardware, in particular, has this problem a lot. Nothing like updating your OS only to find out you have no sound on a "supported" model.

Audio hardware from Apple ? Or external audio hardware from other manufacturers ?

A few years ago, Wacom dropped support for my drawing tablet because it's old.

How is that Apple's fault ?
