Support for the OS version may only be 5 years, but support for the underlying hardware will last a LOT longer and the new version is free, so you can update to the new version without having to buy new hardware.

Plus Linux distros generally aren't designed to tie you in to other services provided only by the distributor.

Didn't they say some rogue VP set up his laptop to torrent all 72TB of Z-Library to feel o-llama?

I wish my laptop had that many drive bays!

Some people so want to believe that a useful information retrieval system is a superintelligence.

The rest of us aren't surprised that an interesting search engine isn't good at chess.

You think your data is in that disk image? As If!

But seriously, I'll think about trusting it in three OS releases. I remember all the problems with sparse bundles and Time Machine, so that's not an "I'll trust it in three releases," but rather an "I'll start experimenting with it in three releases."

I'm familiar with some organizations that have been feeding their Slack data into a RAG for employee queries.

They're going to be quite pissed if this has been shut down by Slack.

Ugh. That will teach me to use the mobile site. Useless because of Unicode bugs.

If itâ(TM)s #1, thatâ(TM)s a design problem. The controls for the two engines and the temperature readings should be in sufficiently different places to make such a mistake impossible.

You are paying for it, otherwise the ad supported service would be available to everyone.

Long term yes, the economic model has to change or collapse.

This is the case in virtually all developed countries.

Plus the mere existence of this promise means that one of the motivations for having kids (ie someone to support you as you age) goes away.

Then you have improvements in medical treatments which keep increasing the number of elderly.

There are lots of other factors in developed countries discouraging kids too - like high costs of childcare, negative career impact and costs thereof, increased housing costs for a larger family etc.

I implemented portsentry feeding fail2ban on edge servers to deal with the unrelenting scans.

It helps, somewhat.

If you are chinese and want a vpn to bypass chinese censorship then sure one linked to the chinese government is a bad choice...

But if you're an american who wants a VPN to download pirate torrents then a chinese one is actually a good option.

Yup, but now the AI lobby is stronger than the oil lobby.

I guess whichever the military needs more.

There are some videos online with sound.

Do we hear the engines?

Hopefully an airplane enthusiast who is familiar with the expected sound profile can comment.
