More important than breaking up PGE, we should nationalize the distribution infrastructure. PGE has demonstrated time and again that they lack the necessary responsibility. I refer again to burning down much of Paradise, CA by skipping maintenance, as the fire was caused by a line falling because a hook wore through due to being in service for 99 years. Surely they could have caught that with an inspection any time over several decades as the wear would have been easily visible long before failure, if only they had actually done inspections.

PGE is in fact now complaining that they cannot reasonably maintain some of the primary infrastructure we depend on for literally our entire society to function, so we should reasonably just take them at their word and take it away from them. They have been poor stewards at best.

It can't simulate emotion. It can simulate an emotional response. The difference is critical and every human who gets emotionally involved with AI is making the same mistake.

We know that you don't care about children because you are in favor of child rape.

No one is running away, but you child rapists sure do run at the mouth.

The problem is there are many many different pieces of hardware which would have to be supported and nobody is bothering. Most of the RGB hardware uses its own interface instead of a standard. So instead this generic driver for direct hardware access has been used. The situation on Linux is actually not very different, except on Linux there are udev rules which make it possible to assign permissions to specific devices to users or groups and have more security than you get when doing the same thing on Windows.

You know how you can tell that rapeublicans know they're pieces of shit? They get big mad when you repeat their garbage back to them.

What's needed is rules banning selling disposable lithium-ion batteries at all. Their existence is offensive. There are even rechargeable button cells now.

I got a board with RGB so I decided I'd try it out. It's USB-connected so I figured it would be decent. Nope it's total shit with no direct mode, good work ASRock. But by that time I had some LED peripherals so I bought a Nollie 8ch controller which was very cheap and... I like RGB. It's convenient to see how loaded my CPU and GPU are at a glance. Internal USB hubs are practically free now so connecting them is a breeze. The kids are all right.

Unlike the systemd vote where they deliberately skipped asking a lot of people?

You miss the point completely. The technology is there and unstoppable. Cutting down one company doesn't destroy the technology. Killing Napster didn't kill the technology, it just spread it around, decentralized it, then there were thousands of sites to control, and they never did manage to do that, did they? Killing Flock will do exactly the same.

Killing Flock won't kill the concept or the capability and more than demolishing Napster stopped music copying. I bet within 5 years, this scanning will be common in most dashcams and phone apps will be available.

Lashing out in anger without having a plan or knowing your target is juvenile.

You must be American, you think 100 years is a long time

If this persists China will simply build more fabs, and more quickly than anyone else. So what if it's old-ish tech, at least they will have it.

That was a failure, but the first failure was not recognizing it wasn't ready for a research project either. When they realized it was going to have to be heavy and bulky, they should have stopped and either iterated the design again, or smarter IMO, waited for tech to improve (or push it) and then done another design. OTOH Apple can afford to lose the money...

Glad to hear they are still kicking. I hear there's also some Linux-based stuff now but I haven't seen it yet, I'm afraid I'm not much in the market for new cars.
