AI has already ruined all sorts of other business software, why not the software responsible for stock brokers making billions of dollars?

Why the fuck does my PDF reader need AI?

I always thought Finland was the home of Linux.

What's the point of writing an email from yourself to yourself?

If you actually hit send, it will have all the necessary email headers appended to it, with timestamps as a sort of verifiable evidence that you indeed sent the email at the given date/time.

If you just leave it in the draft folder, it can be modified at any time.

Better also ban E.T. Atari cartridges too.

Temu is a breeding ground for fakes. Amazon would probably refund your money a lot easier.

I rewatched an episode recently, and the credits say that he created the Computer Chronicles, as well as hosted them. He maybe even wrote the scripts, but when interviewing a guest, he would often ask the silliest follow-up questions. Perhaps this was just part of his charm.

Either way, I can agree that the show was informative, and there really wasn't anything else like it on the TV at the time.

Streetcars were popular over 100 years ago, when people used them to get to their factory jobs, so it made sense that they would want to preserve their energy for when they actually got to work. In today's world, we have automation for heavy lifting and tedious repetitive tasks, so preserving personal energy isn't the point.

Try re-watching the 1980's miniseries called "V". It's an allegory for the rise of the Nazi movement. When aliens land on Earth, they are peaceful and are seeking help, but their first move is to defame and discredit the science community who is realizing the truth about the Aliens - That they're really lizard people in disguise, and they want to steal the Earth's resources.

Admittedly, the U.S. is way past that point now - but the parallels are striking.

If you live in a neighborhood that has no crime, then why would you need a security camera?

So you saw Robocop when you were a kid? The movie that was so violent that it initially was given an X rating by the MPAA until it was toned down a little, and then still got an R rating?

You should take Robo's advice and "Stay out of trouble!"

The capital of the United States is moving to Mar-a-Lago due to corruption....

Did you even read the summary? It's IRON. Cheese is mostly made of fat. There is only one word that can describe it....

Cannonball!

What I really liked about the show was the subtle attention to detail. In the interior shots of the research ship, every monitor looks like it's a CRT, because that is the display technology that we had in 1979. The ship was supposedly launched before the Nostromo encountered LV-426. However, the displays in the Prodigy compound were flat panel or holographic. You couldn't buy a CRT monitor today even if you wanted one, at least one that worked well enough to be on camera. At least they made it LOOK like they were CRTs. Any other movie probably wouldn't have bothered.

I thought it was going to be the evolution of building a monster truck, but turned out to be an inchworm with wheels.

If Microsoft wants to let Xbox die, then let it die.
