> Heh, I've never heard that term before.

It's an acronym for "jack of all trades."

How would a US social security number help a UK child bypass age verification checks?

I thought Cursor was just a way to make programming a subscription service.

What, you mean you're not convinced to grab the no-name alpha-release "privacy browser" that cripples yourself if you don't let them MITM you?

It wasn't that hard - Netscape came on floppies, too.

Not quite what I meant, but your point is valid. I was more meaning that discussing repairability without also considering reliability isn't as informative as it could be.

Surely how often repairs are needed should be taken into account? Anecdata time: 26 years without a fault in any of my laptops (they're Apples, but I hear Lenovo and other brands can be quite reliable as well) or either of the desktops. No iPhone (since 3G) or iPad that I've owned has ever gone wrong either.

Previous Dells and other cheaper brands that I owned last century weren't so reliable for me and I would have cared about repairability.

No, "law-abiding". Don't use a pejorative term for what should be regarded as the norm. All administrations should strive to be law-abiding. Not saying that they will always achieve it, but it should be the default.

You've got into the habit of not making any effort to obey any rules, whether your own or international (Guantanamo for example). If you regard following such rules as "legalistic" (ie excessive), then you really are doomed.

And at the same time ensure that everyone becomes more dependent on data centres, the cloud etc. So we don't own our own data, and so they can strip-mine it on the way into the cloud to "teach" their beloved word sausage machines.

Except for governments, rulers, elites etc, I presume. That is, perfect targets for this sort of malware.

Indeed. I've been using `uv` for a year and don't really want to lose it, but this is surely game over.

Also, why didn't OpenAI just get someone to vibe equivalent tools into existence for them? I sure ain't buying their dog food.

Not wrong. Naive. You can be right all day and not get the outcome you imagine being right will get you.

I started lurking in 4K enthusiast groups to see if they were all cracked up to be. The arguments about relative quality of various BD/4K releases isn't even the most interesting part.

It turns out that there are a lot of issues with set top boxes playing particular disks. The disks themselves also seem terribly fussy.

And when you succeed, you will find the illegal immigrants were not the cause of society's problems.
