The requirement is that the money has to be spent on content production, not just buying existing content.

Australia USED to make some REALLY good scripted dramas and other shows. These days the good shows are few and far between with our screens being infested with increasing amounts of reality garbage.

Will these driverless cabs go to the Las Vegas airport (and in a way that's actually useful for people flying in and out and at a reasonable price) or will the Vegas taxi Mafia stop that from happening?

Other than my phone, my windows PC, my router and my FTTC box, I don't own anything that connects to the Internet at all. I will keep using my 32" Samsung dumb tv until it dies or Australia gets new OTA tv standards that require a new device.

Thee are organisations that are both lobbying governments to stop using these cameras and challenging their constitutionality in court. (I believe the Institute for Justice is one such organisation). Spreading the word about their campaigns is one way to help.

There probably isn't a padlock on the planet that can withstand being cut by a high powered angle grinder with the right cutting wheel.

Most people don't care. You could stand in Home Depot or the like and show someone in the lock aisle how easy it is to pick a Master Lock (or other cheap crap) and most people wouldn't care and would buy the cheap crap anyway.

If there was a way to produce these products in a way that uses less energy and costs less money, I guarantee you companies like Linde, Air Liquide and others would absolutely be using it.

Does this leak give GraphineOS any information it can use to make its system more secure against theses cellphone hacking tools?

How many games will never run on Linux because the publishers are too scared of piracy and/or cheating to enable Linux support? (even though the DRM and/or anti-cheat solutions absolutely have full linux support and there would be basically no work required to enable it)

Why would I need to have someone else deliver food to my house when I am perfectly capable of walking to any number of local establishments and buying it myself?

Why not use peer-to-peer encrypted messaging solutions that don't need central severs?

https://jami.net/ is one such system (I have no connection to it, I just think its a good system)

How many people are actually choosing Intel for AI chips over its competitors?

Compare that to Intel's continued lead in laptops and in mass-market desktops (e.g. the Dell and HP and Lenovo machines bought in bulk by businesses). Or for that matter, their Arc GPU business where the Battlemage cards are flying off the shelves last I heard.

I find building with LEGO to be a great way to avoid the temptation to doom-scroll on Twitter or watch endless YouTube videos or otherwise waste lots of time online.

Nothing I own requires any kind of server to actually function and the only things I own that even have a network connection are a low-end Android phone, a Windows PC and my router and FTTC modem.

I don't need fancy crap like an internet connected fridge or mattress or TV set (my TV is a 32" Samsung dumb TV that I only use for watching OTA TV)
