Ah, yes. The old "there's totally evidence to back up my statements, I just can't be bothered to give you enough details to find the evidence" routine.
The only instance that some googling shows up is the same one linked to in the summary of this story -- namely, that 404 Media worked with a "rare bookseller" (who they won't name) to put an airtag inside one of the books (which they won't name) in a shipment of 1000 books.
I mentioned this to the other guy but yeah they were destroying rare books. A rare book seller caught them by sneaking an Apple Air tag into one of his books that he shipped to them.
There's rare and then there's "rare." From what I've seen, the people involved have declined to say what the books involved were. About the only reason I can think of to hide that is because they know that people won't be as outraged when they find out what the "rare" books actually are. However, it was a bulk lot of something like 1,000 books, so it's a pretty safe bet that they weren't exactly valuable.
The 1973 manual for a toaster that I found in my grandfather's attic is certainly rare, but we're not losing anything if Amazon feeds it to their AI machine.
I don't think Windows can read Xbox discs. But you don't necessarily need to "rebuy" it:
> If you already own a digital license for these games on console, that license now carries over to your PC or handheld.
If I got one for free, I'd probably plug it in and mess with it a bit, establish that it doesn't really add anything useful, and shove it in a drawer.
If it was $25, I could see a few niche users buying it.
But $230 is insanity.

AI is too easy to use, when the work is done at home. And I say, good riddance. Homework has for decades been a substitute for learning. AP classes aren't actually "advanced" they just require more homework. If AI kills all those extra hours of busywork, that's a good thing.
The historically-bad results of the final at least suggest that doing out-of-class work themselves actually helps students.
"The economy is shit so we're forced to fire people." - Get a target for a well known orange shitslinging barely ape painted on your back with unknown consequences because rule of law doesn't apply when you have regulatory capture. If you're a Fortune 500 company it's a foregone conclusion what you will do.
"AI is amazing we're leading the way by embracing new tech." - Shareholders jerk each other off, Mangonlini & co doesn't notice or takes credit for how great everything is in their delusional disinfo silo.
I would love it if I could ask the AI a question about the RPC I'm playing and have it give me an answer in a small pop-up. Today, I need to switch to the Xbox Edge browser, which sucks on console.
Starts? This has been ongoing for a long time.
A verb can be "nouned" -- that's called a gerund. But to make a gerund, it has to end in "-ing". So the word he wants is "spending", not "spend". It's already standard English.
The word to use is "spending", which is a gerund (a verb acting as a noun).
Nvidia Shield Pro, with FLauncher as the home screen.
Yes, that is the obvious goal. Mr. Whipple didn't learn shit.
...you realize that pennies don't solve that "problem," right? We already have to round the final total for virtually all purchases after calculating the tax.
private pockets. It's the same as private prisons.
