Yeah... is he sure that the Mighty Orange One is going to be OK with that? After all of the recent corporate ass kissing, I'd imagine that he's expecting Jensen to be building his new chip plants in the US instead.

I think that it's more like blaming AI for taking your tech job, and then giving it to outsourced foreign labor if/when that doesn't work out.

You can partly blame COVID for this, as we showed that 90% of IT can be done fully remote. Frankly, I'm surprised that it took the IT managers so long to realize that work being done from a living room in Omaha or Boise can done cheaper in Odessa or Bangalore.

I find it odd that Apple is going downmarket with their $699 MacBook Neo, while Microsoft is now pricing their new Surface Pro laptops at prices that rival a MacBook Pro.

So, now I can get all of the flakiness and advertising bundled into Windows 11 AND pay more for the privilege? Wow, where can I sign up!

If it's like other Grok AI products, I would think that the goal would be to promote your vibe coded AI slop project on X.

Then you can hope that Elon Musk or someone from his fanboy army reposts about it, giving your project some publicity.

Something tells me that if you can afford the $48,000 price tag for just one of 40 245TB drives in that insanely dense 2U server, you probably also have the money to build your own power generation.

I honestly thought that Microsoft already tried an automated driver rollback "feature" back in the early Windows Vista days.

I vaguely remember it breaking more issues than it resolved.

Or you'll end up with this situation:

Game XYZ won't run because it says that your video card drivers are out of date
You update them
The game crashes anyway with a different graphic driver error because it's bug ridden launch day garbage
The drivers roll back
And Game XYZ won't run again ...and suddenly you wish that you bought a Playstation 5 instead.

Don't most people just use the router that their ISP provides them? This seems like this is more of a issue for the ISP's to resolve than an issue for your average consumer to resolve. They'll just buy the latest Netgear from Amazon, or from whatever other companies decided to pay the new FCC certification bribes.

I'm sure that Sam Altman is cowering in fear knowing that he just offended some random guy on Slashdot!

Have you ever tried to use Coinbase when the site was busy? It's a disaster. You're not going to be able to convince me that unstable crap was ever properly QA tested or load tested.

It's kind of a lame exploit, as it requires the attacker to already have console access on the box.

In most cases, if someone who doesn't work for your company already has that level of access, you already screwed up somewhere in your security stack.

Yeah, these shouldn't be hard for the IRGC to hunt down. Starlink is basically just a fancy Ku band radio transmitter.

Somehow Barnes and Noble and BAM (Books a Million, what's left of Borders) are still around in the US.

They're probably making more money selling overpriced coffee and toys than books, though.

6% APR for an FDIC backed savings account is actually really good. Most US banks do not currently offer more than the fed funds rate, which is currently 3 1/2%.

His backing bank is probably going to lose a bunch of money by offering rates like this, which makes me think that's going to be a "promotional" rate that goes away quickly.

As anyone who's bought an early Tesla Model 3 with "Full Self Driving" knows, it's that Elon isn't afraid of making big promises and never making good on them.
