I don't know anyone else who has this problem, so at the very least it is far from universal.

They way I think of it, anything less than the Pro build is the 'ad supported' version of Windows. Pro isn't very expensive if you get the activation from a reseller, and it isn't heir to most of the junk features we see in Home

They are actually big, but also repetitive since the same parameters build every area of the surface. There aren't different climate zones (except for oceans) or ecology.

With an internal-only CA we manage ourselves

I guess it depends on how stupid they are.

Talking about agreeing to start talks was the start of the talks.

it is unclear whether the engineer meant 'is going to do it' or 'have the capability to do it'. There are lots of ways these things *could* cause a lot of damage if we put them in the right position to manage water and electricity for example. And since the people "running" those systems will no longer know how to do anything since they rely on the AI, well, here comes mass death because we put vibe coders in charge of the water supply.

I am sure there are more, but I heard a company called 'openAI' has been selling this for quite some time already.

Anyone want to suggest an alternative GPS navigation app for Android that just looks for the simplest route that way the old standalone, unconnected devices used to? Google Maps is so prone to routing me to some alternate route through a small back road with a dangerous left hand turn across five lanes of traffic at the end that I can't trust it to navigate anywhere I have not been before.

I thought the other day that with mobile phones and people touching them all the time and leaving them sitting around on various surfaces, the 'telephone sanitizer' isn't as ridiculous as it was when Adams wrote his book.

Sadly the support for an impeachment is not there. Of course, we have had presidents who did things just as abhorrent, like lie to justify starting a war. But today a long term trends is reaching its apex: winning over anything and everything. As long as 'we' win, no other moral consideration applies.

Signing is not required in user space, you can load any DLL you like there and call it whatever you want.

One third of accessible pages, maybe. From my job I see a lot of slop news and fake blogs, various clickbait scams and such. So I might believe that one third of the pages on the network are AI generated. That is not the same as saying one third of the pages a real person ever intentionally looks at are AI generated.

I believe there is or was a court case in progress for a similar monopoly leverage attempt by Amazon, where they get sellers to agree they will never charge a lower price on a different platform.

What about a passenger?
