There are still email providers who give only a few hundred MB (or less) of storage space. Rather than doing the slightly difficult task of handing over the new address to providers and making sure the job gets done right, they are relying on POP3 fetching to move the messages into a bigger cloud mailbox. IMAP wouldn't solve the problem that this mail fetching is used for. All it does is give you direct access to a tiny mailbox instead of proxy access.

I'm going to guess this is referring to using salvaged DRAM chips from defective products or something like that. Which is usually not that viable economically and possibly still isn't.

Intel is going to face very low demand for their own CPUs if the DRAM shortage goes for long. I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit and start making DRAM chips with their Intel 7 process?

Isn't that just code for give me H1Bs?

In this case, these are two pathways to slop. Whether it's entry level creative jobs or AI, the end result is still slop. Maybe it's the end product we don't need.

That's lucky. There's a whole Facebook group dedicated to getting repairs and refunds for the models with the major defects. And even after the defect was identified, they continued to sell without any changes.

So you see an encrypted channel going from your device to a US-based CDN. Everything cloud-based these days routes all traffic through the company's own servers rather than locally device to device. You won't know what happens from that point.

You mean like election campaigns? Technically not related, true, but real related actions happen as a result of these elections all the same. Whether those actions are conservative themselves or not, they are part of the process of gaining and keeping power.

Don't forget whichever muslim group du jour. Where what is really going on is that the US is terrified of the Petrodollar going away. It's the only thing keeping our currency even partially stable.

They're going to have a hard time getting Gemini to not explain to consumers why their ice maker isn't working or any of the other widespread Samsung refrigerator problems of the last 15 years.

On the other hand, at least it's not Bixby.

I wonder how much of the total dollar amount is related to fake Microsoft full-screen scam warnings. These things have been going for years. Remember when web sites used to be able to easily open pop-up windows with ads? Remember how quickly that stopped when browsers had better handling? Why has the same not been done for full-screen mode? End users do not know how to get out of these.

You have to wonder if the false positives are intentional. If not for false positives, they would hardly flag anything at all and people would think they aren't working.

My high school didn't even allow doors on the bathroom stalls. You might want or expect privacy but you are unlikely to get it.

Amazon already does a lot with robotics in their warehouses. It's possible they wanted to buy just the brand name. It's also possible that it was worth it for some patent that should have never been granted. They do have a habit of buying up home automation companies and just doing very little with it. They have two brands that both have doorbells and security camera (Blink and Ring) and they don't even work together.

Every law should go under some sort of adversarial review. Even the most beneficial sounding law can have major unintended consequences or well-disguised intended ones. I do think that nationwide cell networks would not have been what they are today (in a good way) without TCA, but that's partly because we wouldn't have done any other regulation to create the roaming cooperation that would be needed.

Anna's Archive was, in fact, a major source of training data for many of the above.
