It could, but it won't.

"is working on the measure to bar imports of new Chinese optical transceivers, which allow data to travel over fiber-optic cables at the speed of light within data centers" Oooh, scary. These are so high tech that they have been used in data centers for 30 years now. Maybe they should ban capacitors from China because these alternating plates of ceramic have the ability to cripple data centers when they fail.

Jeff Bezos says "Hold my beer"

Does your keyboard have a fingers button? Didn't think so.

Didn't someone already try this and have it fail miserably? People don't want an advertising engine disguised as a personal assistant.

Was the author an independent HVAC repairman?

So, a hospital that can't afford to fly in a specialist is going to purchase a multi-million dollar robot to perform their operations (on pigs)? Sure, Jan

$4.4 billion in outstanding debt, as well. Vulture capitalism is going to eat America alive.

Part of what you pay for in a Kindle is the fit & finish. It's highly unlikely that you could build a device that would be as watertight as a Paperwhite.

I understand that the AI fees are low, but how did they get a barrister in court for three hours for £400? Is there actually someone out there that is desperate for courtroom experience such that they will take a £100 an hour fee?

Note that this bill has not passed yet, and certainly could be amended to remove the exemption for open licensed OSes in the senate. That said, this seems like it would be a fairly easy thing to add as a compile-time option in systemd, and have it off by default until 1/1/2027.

Algae has been around for billions of years, and will long outlive this administration, and all humans.

There's no guarantees on bugs, because they should be discouraged in all cases.

I sold a car through Carvana at the end of COVID era. Got KBB excellent price from them, and it took less than 30 minutes for them to inspect it, make sure it drove well, and lock it up. Flatbed came a couple hours later and loaded it up. Easy peasy. The prices they are paying for used cars are not as good as they were 5 years ago.
