Germany will loft 99 red balloons ... :-)

Macron say the new force will be comprised of "Rangers", formally known as Space Power Rangers, with multi-colored uniforms for the various constituent nations.

RFK, Jr, recently replaced all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) at the CDC with (so far) 8 new members, including Dr. Robert Malone who has said that the COVID-19 vaccine could cause AIDS.

Came to post this. AI will jack up prices to maximize revenue on per-customer basis.

Also known as the Slashdot effect. :-)

(In future ironic? news, Wikipedia slows to a crawl as young Slashdotters look up Slashdot effect.)

I was in a doctor's office a little while ago and there was this (much) older guy watching YouTube videos on his phone with the volume up, while literally sitting across from a sign that asked people not to do things like that. His wife nudged him after a few minutes and he turned it down. It was annoying, but the guy was clearly a little hard of hearing, though don't know why he didn't have ear buds...

Not sure why it's relevant that they're made in China, except to further a political agenda.
I mean, wouldn't signal blockers made anywhere work the same and be just as bad?

Would DHS prefer people use U.S. made signal jammers?
Upside - It would bring that manufacturing back, etc... and they'd be tariff-free!

I think we are fortunate that it takes more than added complexity to arrive to AGI, because what we are seeing right now is complete misalignment. Had these AI entities were capable of reasoning and motivation, we as humanity would be toasted.

SF covered this topic - it is likely we will have to raise, as in human child mentoring in a family-like structure, AGIs in human-like way to get them aligned.

I'd have trouble even seeing Edge from 25 km away. :-)

To be fair, I have Lotus WordPro and 123, from SmartSuite 9.8, on my Windows 10 system now and they both run fine. I've converted all the files that use them, and most of my Office 2010 files, except my Publisher files, to LibreOffice in preparation for moving to my Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon) system (previously Ubuntu - 'cause forced Snap) full-time. My systems are too old for Microsoft's arbitrary Windows 11 hardware requirements, but run Windows 10 and Linux just fine -- not that I'd really want to use Windows 11 anyway...

Which is noted in TFS, TFA, from the original MS blog, so it was reported accurately everywhere.

Because; almost nobody uses them correctly.

Out of curiosity, what does your small business do that requires multiple ESXi and vCenter? I am not defending Broadcom, but that does not sound to me very small.

They will panic when gov't starts abandoning VMWare due to wild swings in the contract costs. MS, Oracle, etc. know that you can't directly extort money by raising the price - it has to be via "optional" support contracts. Rookie move Broadcom.

So you should have no problems exposing it as slander by asking for proof and then critically reviewing provided evidence.
