I've got two teenage kids, and they think AI is stupid. Their friends apparently just like to try and manipulate AI into being racist as a form of entertainment. None of them see it as useful or "cool".

Most artificial boobs don't even look great. They always feel wrong. They can lead to loss of sensation and medical issues.

I had to use phone activation for Windows 7 Pro after a clean reinstallation on a Dell Precision workstation. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's had to use it in some situation.

Yeah, the product names were better - XPS for "prosumer", Alienware for gaming, Latitude for business/academic, and Precision for high performance (e.g. CAD, simulation). The "Premium", "Pro" and "Pro Max" names just sounded bland and generic.

A pap smear detects the presence of HPV (human papilloma virus), among other things. That's where the name comes from - "pap" is short for "papilloma". It doesn't detect the presence of cancerous cells. HPV leads to an elevated risk of cervical cancer, so the pap smear is supposed to give an early warning that you may be at risk of cancer. But the article is correct, a pap smear is not a cancer test.

"A women" is a giveaway that the only sex you get is when you pay wor it.

I recall the Russians already did this on their Mir space station. It's technically interesting in that it's easier to get a completely defect-free silicon crystal in microgravity, but it's too expensive to be practical for volume production. I guess it's nice that we can still reproduce it using technology a few decades newer.

When you install a browser extension that includes its code. It just goes to show that Google, Mozilla, etc. vetting and signing extensions doesn't actually stop malware - it's primarily about controlling what extensions you can use, and your safety as maybe a distant second.

The Dutch government seized a fab. It was a former NXP (i.e Philips spinoff) fab that they sold off as Nexperia when they got out of the discrete and standard logic business after merging with Freescale. They also sold off their RF power component business, which became Ampleon.

A company named after a film considered one of the worst ever made? I hadn't heard of them before today, so evidently not everyone is talking about them.

IBM pioneered out-of-order execution, microcoded CPUs, RISC architectures, hardware-independent bytecode, and all sorts of cool stuff. They're a sad shadow of their former glory now.

Germany is 14, Australia is 16. Last time I looked at a list, I think 16 was pretty common. Not that it matters - teenage girls are annoying. I'm not even interested in sex with women under 30 any more.

There's also a version called the Big Rip.

Sounds like the version Cheech and Chong envisaged after taking a big bong rip.

If Arch isn't supposed to be a turnkey experience, why is it used as the basis for Steam OS? That's supposed to be aimed at people who want more of a console-like or appliance-like experience. That's exactly the kind of people who wouldn't want to be mucking around with this kind of nonsense.

I wasn't suggesting they're laundering the money by donating it to the FSF. It's just that Monero always seems to be linked to shady business, so I'd be worried any substantial sum of Monero is dirty money, or that by dealing in Monero I'd look shady by association. (As for why a criminal would donate to the FSF, maybe it's like when a mafia boss donates to charity to try and soothe their consciences.)
