Ahhhh...seems like yesterday that people were saying "cut the cord", drop cable and STREAM! It's cheaper! LOL, those days are over!

It has happened under both.

If you were worried about being chased by kill bots, go and watch some videos from drone operators in Ukraine. Robots don't need feet for that job.

Then, all the food was "whole food". Today, everything is pre-processed junk!

They've invested too much into these things. The pushback against the data centers will cause them to be built in China. If you look on Google Earth 3625'27.62"N 9510'39.07"E, 36 3'56.04"N 10026'32.58"E, 3722'42.20"N 9713'20.76"E, That's just the three I've found so far. Couple have a solar mirror generator too. Also, two of the three have a huge reserve of water available. If the pushback continues, you can bet China will welcome the AI Data centers with open arms.

Maybe there is a QR code or something associated with it, but if your license is on your phone, and you hand it to the officer....ummmm

Sadly, we've destroyed ourselves. It's just like with a lot of the former HUGE corporations. Sears, IBM, Xerox, American auto industry etc. They get too big for their britches, don't innovate, and someone else comes along. Of course the BIGGEST problem was what Nixon did in 72 by opening up China to trade, then Carter signed the trade agreement in 1980 "most favored nation" status. The Corporate CEO's LOVED that! Production in the United States slowly died off because everything was moved to CHINA where they had CHEAP labor. Not only that, the workers can't demand higher wages, unions like they did in America. America's glory days are behind it. Once all of the data centers are built in China, it's one more needle in their ever growing haystack. Don't think that is where the data centers will be built? Look up on Google Earth all of the HUGE, and I do mean HUGE solar panel & solar mirror farms along with large lakes to provide water. You can bet they didn't build that for their "people".

To these new air traffic controllers. Congrats on being hired! Just remember one thing. Unlike playing a video game, there is not PAUSE button on the ATC screen, and most important, unlike a video game, if something doesn't go your way, you can toss your headset on the ground, get up and stomp off. LOL /s

Looked on their store, trade in, perfectly good working 9ProXL, $550.00 For my usage, the "telephoto" camera isn't a big deal, as is any of the camera upgrades. I only use my phone camera for snapshots in work related things. For everything else I use my d-slr. The goofy notification light on the back to me is useless. I never lay my phone on its screen anyway. Faster processor? Shoot, I probably never go anywhere near the limit my current phone can do. So, unless their sales don't go where they want and they make an incentive to upgrade, I'll just stick with my perfectly good working 9Pro XL for now.

4. Chrome is bought by a company secretly linked to foreign intel agencies and becomes an embedded spy tool on everyone, everywhere, on every device.

No thank you. I'd rather be targeted by ads than hostile intel agencies.

That this would happen? Oh, I know! Let's put a HUGE touch screen in the vehicle, make it convenient with all the bells and whistles of their phone! It will be great! Pssss and when they get use to it, we'll start INJECTING ADS and there isn't anything they can do because it's the only way to OPERATE THEIR VEHICLE. HA HA HA HA HA HA.

No case here which is why they are whinging in the public square

Not surprised. Sadly, attention span for both adults & students is decreasing as both become addicted to screens.

I posted on the thread crying for money that they were getting pummeled on here and less than an hour later MY post was pulled. Once again proving they only like POSITIVE posts in their favor.
