I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

> The article mentions seatbelts jammed in doors. Personally I think Tesla should make clear instructions to the passenger to ensure the door is fully closed before leaving.

You mean Waymo, not Tesla there, but they absolutely do yell at you to close it if you leave one open for even a minute or so. I know because we used one and got yelled at, though we were just unloading stuff at the time and closed it afterward.

> If your debt is denominated in dollars how does depreciation in the dollar make it harder to pay back?

It doesn't, it just leaves the general public holding sacks of worthless paper money or pointless numbers in a bank's database when they want actual stuff, like food.

Inflation as long been used as a stealthy way to tax the public, they see their quality of life going to crap as each new generation comes along, but nobody wants to admit the problem lies with government spending The US had the advantage of pushing a lot of the inflation tax onto the rest of the world, but that's going away as so many other countries want to get free of the dollar.

If tomorrow the government hands out a trillion dollars to everyone, we won't all suddenly have a lot more stuff. We'll have a lot more paper and all the resources that were scarce yesterday will still be just as scarce. Probably even more so as there's a rush to consume more before prices can fully react to such a change.

> We have been hearing these same predictions about the national debt for almost 100 years ... the argument is fundamentally flawed. Mostly because it ignores things like economic growth, inflation and the value created by whatever the debt buys.

The fiat system has collapsed a few times, do you know anything about Brazil or Zimbabwe?

I don't think gold is a magic solution here, or returning to that standard would fix everything, but you do need some level of balance between the amount of currency and the things there are to buy with it and we damn near broke it during Covid with the mass inflation there. So I wouldn't be too cavalier that this could never happen, even as I don't think it's in any immediate danger.

But remember: there won't be a US dollar to peg the US dollar to if we screw it up and that's the only way Brazil got out of its mess in the 1990s.

Meanwhile, you can get $100 trillion Zimbabwe dollars for $3 USD.

> It's a useless technology anyway

I hope this quote someday goes on to be as infamous as "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." but Slashdot probably isn't relevant enough for that any longer.

Yeah, because the customers don't want anything else. Itch.io is great ... if you want random indie stuff. GOG seems to have no idea what to recommend and you either get games from 1992 or hentai VNs with a porn patch so they're not technically selling the porn, with little that's actually interesting.

If they ever want to do that, they should hire Kitboga. He made a digital maze where a bunch of scammers are still looking for some bitcoin that doesn't exist by solving captchas, waiting on hold in ridiculous phone trees, etc.

I see a lot of grumbling about hypothetical bug fixes. Personal experience - my Tesla has been bug free, what does happen is the software gets better and better.

Since I purchased my car two years ago, it's gained several features I love and use:

1. Instant live video feed from the car to my phone if the alarm goes off
2. Navigation now has an "avoid highways" option and "search along route"
3. Navigation tells you the weather forecast at your destination for longer drives
4. An easy "low power mode" that turns off all optional features (like security cameras) when parked
5. Added support for Audible and a couple of other entertainment streams
6. Option to automatically reduce AC fan speeds when on calls

There are things I'd like to give the designers a hard time about - more physical controls, door controls that don't confuse guests, but the software and update system is outstanding. Like my phone, and unlike any car I've owned before, the car keeps getting incrementally better.

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.

OpenSSH is the best known OpenBSD project, but they also makes pf (used in pfSense, OPNSense, etc.), OpenBGP, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, OpenIKED, LibreSSL, etc.

Came for this comment.

This is what I did. They're basically indestructible and once I learned how they worked, I haven't needed anything else. They also seem to be easier to clean than the old nonstick pans. Oh, and they give you a little extra iron in your food.
