Exactly.

That line is clearly considering the 3.5mm jack as an "input" rather than an output - "...audio coming through the wired connection"

There were various Amazon devices with 3.55mm jacks - some were output only, some were input only, others could have their port either be an input or an output.

How silly - you can carry hundreds, if not thousands of electronic books in a device that weighs a pound or two, how many books can you carry with you onto a plane? Into a coffee shop, etc?

Not by asking Alexa to do it anymore, that's for sure.

You aren't paying for seniors. You are partying the government to replace the money the government stole from seniors.

Why wouldn't I say it may cure cancer? You are obviously painfully unaware of the many benefits AI has already afforded and have no understanding of it at all. This is not to say that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, because nobody knows if that will turn out to be true or not at this point, but if you really think AI is all downside and zero benefits you are woefully ignorant. I personally believe it *might* destroy the human race, but I've been reading a lot of Slashdot comments today so I'm having a hard time deciding if that is a plus or a minus.

That number pales in comparison to the crimes commited by the FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, et. Al. Learn some history bootlicker.

Understanding C well would be a reason to learn and use Rust, not a reason to use C. You clearly don't understand software development very well. The right tool for the right job. In 2026 C is sometimes the right tool for some jobs, but certainly not for this job.

Chrome isn't Open Source, but Chromium is the Open Source code that Chrome is based upon.

I am 100% against flock cameras, but that doesn't mean your statement is true. While I agree that typically people will still steal even with flock cameras, if they catch people doing so and they go to jail they are not able to steal more. So while the a priori effect is negligible, that doesn't mean they can't reduce theft. The problem is that even if they do the loss of freedom from mass surveillance is not compensated for by the few cases where it makes things marginally better in a few select cases, especially given that it is abused already and this is documented fact.

There already *are* such limits, and those of us that didn't have the foresight to know they would be ignored should have figured out by now that "strict limits on access" are meaningless. The *only* solution is to make gathering of the data illegal, because once the data has been gathered it can be abused, which is to say it *will* be abused, and *is* being abused.

Those who are willing to sacrifice everybody's freedom for more convenience parking the car they are lucky enough to be able to afford deserve neither freedom nor convenience.

The real danger of discussing an AI kill switch is that it creates and enables the delusion that such a thing is possible. This is absurd. AI is code and is not a single instance, runtime, or platform. Not only is it true that there is no way to implement it in a single model, or a few select models, the Pandora's box has already been opened. An AI kill switch is technologically impossible to implement, and there is no way to universally legislate or enforce legislation even if it was possible.

Exactly who do you think donated to her (literal) billion-dollar plus campaign? Oh, right, it was the retired teachers and widowers that donated hundreds of times a day they Act Blue, purely grass-roots, bottom-up campaign financing, no billionaires... LOL

No, you don't "keep seeing it". I've never seen it and I suspect neither have you.

I've never seen any kid get "blown away in broad daylight", not "black kids" or any other kids, and it follows I've also never seen anyone "(get) away with it", boomer or other, because it never happens.

I'd appreciate three different examples of small "black kids" that are "blown away" in "broad daylight" for merely trespassing on someone's property, if you can't find at least three examples, can you really claim it happens "all the time"?

Single-payer healthcare will not drive down healthcare costs, no more than federally-backed student loans have made college more affordable.

The last time politicians tried to "fix" (or, if I'm feeling generous, "improve") healthcare in America, they took a blank piece of paper, had the healthcare industry lobbyists craft a solution that required every uninsured American to buy "affordable" healthcare coverage from a private insurer (the folks paying the lobbyists) using federal money, then passed the bill into law without understanding what it was ("we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it", and the bills sponsors got angry when reporters asked them what was in the bill, remember "what good is reading the bill if I don't have lawyers with me to explain it to me"?).

So excuse me, but I'm a little reluctant to look to these folks for a solution to our so-called healthcare crisis...
