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.

Hey... I'm cheap. If they give me a lifetime XBox Premium subscription, I'll promise to never badmouth them on Slashdot again!

Now that I work from home, I really have little use for a daily commuter car. When I'm driving now, it's mostly longer road trips to go on vacation or visit relatives.

I've rented EV's to do these trips before, and it's not a fun experience. Finding a fast DC charger still isn't as easy as it should be in rural areas, and they're often broken or derated from their maximum charging speeds. Waiting an hour in the cold for the EV to charge because something in the battery pre-conditioning process didn't work right still a pretty lousy experience.

Dumb question... why doesn't the ESA work with SpaceX directly to launch, instead of adding NASA bureaucrazy to the mix?

Apparently they're ranked 43rd in US data centers. Yeah... I'm sticking with my "trying to fix a problem that doesn't really exist yet" theory.

Sure it can. You're going to be limited to 720p because Netflix has obnoxious DRM limitations for web browsers in Linux, but it will work.

Yeah... Microsoft just made their laptops so expensive that the Apple Macbook Air suddenly looks like a VALUE option in comparison?

Does AWS or any of the big AI companies really want to build a data center in Maine? It's not exactly near any major Internet backbones or major tech hubs. The electricity there is expensive as well, plus you have to worry about blizzards disrupting your diesel deliveries during a power outage.

It seems like someone is trying to score easy political points "protesting" something that probably wasn't going to be built anyway.

Why would someone want to do this? Are they some sort of deranged Sora fan, raging against Sam for shutting down their favorite free AI slop video generation service?

Yeah, I thought that it was odd to use a logo from a defunct hardware company that ceased to exist around 1998 for this story as well.
