They have announced a _plan_ to phase out floppy disks within two years. The source article on Engadget, and the FAA project page, list a lot of very aggressive targets to hit by 2028 but they are just that, targets. The phrasing is very misleading.
Given the age of floppy discs, we can imagine how many times that plan got phased right out of the budget.
Shits so damn old we don’t even confuse GenUSB with Save buttons anymore.
Good news ! Who(*) doesn't love a space race ?!
(glances at objects in rear view mirror warning label)
Technically, the race is..well..ah, let’s just say some are still struggling to get it up.
(*) Micheal Bay fans, are quite fired up about it.
You are full of shit.
Meta's datacenter in Prineville, OR uses 86.6 million gallons of water per year. That doesn't sound like they RECYCLE jack shit. And that data center isn't exactly new..
Neither is this problem.
Almonds use approximately 4.9-5.7 million acre-feet of water per year, which is up to 17% of the total agricultural water use in California and 13% of the total developed water supply. Total residential indoor water use in 2020 was 5 million acre-feet. Almonds use roughly the same amount of water as total indoor water use in California.
Odd how those fucking almonds weren’t ever the next water crisis..
Shouldn't this be in a criminal court?
Of course not. Please cite your proof beyond a reasonable doubt..Keep the statute of limitations in mind..
Oh, we keep it in mind alright.
History makes it rather hard forget about the aforementioned loopholes Greed N.Corruption lobbied for, in order to ensure victims are legally compelled to “forget” about their wrongdoings.
Precedent, ensures the answer to criminal court is the same, regardless of the amount of harm.
Also keep in mind this was fire fighting foam. When the choice is die screaming in the fire right now or possibly die from the foams effects in 30 years the risk benefit ratio looks a lot different.
Well, at least we’ll know what the “or else” marketing tactics will smell like when Soylent Green hits the shelves.
”Better than starving, right? Hey, you said Universal Basic Income. You never clarified the currency.”
..without taking direct ocean samples, it's hard to know for sure what's causing the ocean's color to change.
Red 40. Blue 1. Yellow 5. You don’t exactly look at the American food color palette and think ”ooh, organic”.
FDA has been finger-painting food approvals by the numbers for decades now. Perhaps now we can get real about that shit now.
No. Urine isn’t really supposed to be the same color as Mountain Dew sporting the latest Nuclear Zombie Piss flavor-hue.
Being legally compelled to pay out $7.5 billion, with a sticky note on every check that reads "did not admit liability”, is some crazy work.
Imagine if Luigi Mangione got every criminal charge dismissed, because he gave a $100 charitable donation. To the NRA.
So, other than labeling it AI and joining the AI marketing wave, how is this different than the recommendation algorithms from Apple, Amazon, Paramount, Hulu...
Will Netflix be more subtle in recommending its new titles? Or will they be recommended no matter what until we watch it and then less frequently after that?
Netflix lost its marketing subtlety when it started listing obscure movies in their Top 10 mostest watched list.
Did 950 million people roll over on the remote while fucking yesterday to ensure that straight-to-VHS hit from 1985 gets its views dripping with RT integrity?
But if someone with capital really wanted to make a splash in search, they'd give us what Google used to be. There are stll a lot of us who want a search engine instead of a question-answering oracle.
There are 10% of us who want that.
The other 90%, turn into blithering idiots the moment the internet goes down. They don’t merely want Google to tell them the answer..
Ad costs, along with the rest of the Marketeering department cheer squad, sits on the fun side of the books. Always has.
We really going to believe a study on the effectiveness of marketeering done by those holding a death grip on their digital pom pom budget, balanced with this seasons latest fashionable girl math, when even massive losses can be buried under the cost of doing business?
And when they lose their phone? Or it's stolen? Or dropped in the ocean during a vacation?
Make objections which don't equally apply to your bank card.
Unless the vacation is quite remote, I can walk into any bank branch and use many forms of ID to obtain access to my bank resources.
If the bank is purely digital through app only, then I've just listed every option available for recourse. Consumers should understand this going in.
The modern world has taken 'single-point-of-failure' to the extreme. Now it's the same single-point for 80% of the processes in your life.
Fuck 'em.
Whip out the ol' checkbook to pay the dollar amount. Micro-agress the math by hand in the check register. Legibly.
Trigger every warning by giving them the cents in physical coin. Dare them to make sure you gave them the right amount.
As you walk away, lean over and whisper.."EMP, is coming. For you."
PCs should be exclusive to technical people.
I tend to define personal computer as having a mouse and keyboard. USB ports. Decent monitor capable of varied use including entertainment or gaming that doesn't require a jewelers loop.
You know, what Apple anti-advertised back when the kids were questioning TF the Boomers are 'putering on about.
For Gen Touch N' Tell, driving a PC is a technical skill. Don't believe me? Ask them to use a pencil. Take three steps back first, watch the nostrils, and tell them to keep it above the belt. It's OK, the erasers are edible now. At least by FDA standards.
I'd much rather my non-technical family & friends use a tablet or smartphone and a banking app than us a computer and a web browser.
Perhaps, but hard subscribing to the believe that the standard target system for hackers won't merely become tablets and smartphones.
OpenBSD is pretty damn secure. If OpenBSD was the #1 operating system on the planet by endpoint volume, it would likely have a hell of a lot harder time sustaining that track record.
With several grocery chains and now healtchare, without even ransom asked for, it makes think that France has pissed off a State actor.
..until we find out that "state" actor is named Trolly McTrollface, President and CEO of Trolling Trolls, Inc. A subsidiary of FOMO Industries.
"Sic semper tyrannis..? Please. We silly bitches be doin' it for the 'gram, bro. YOLO-gang 4 lyfe."
As in certain cults it is possible to kill a process if you know its true name. -- Ken Thompson and Dennis M. Ritchie
