This is actually less than expected. Low enough that I think this is too optimistic.
Then again, the cost is not so much labor, but energy, raw material, and land use. I wouldn't be surprised if cost of property and energy is actually comparable between Taiwan and Arizona, so there's only the extra shipping and a bit higher salary for a few workers.
This reminds me of the people who are impressed that there are (potentially) asteroids made of gold, and how much that would be worth.
Well, here you are, proof that Mars is worth about twice as much as gold! Just build a railgun on Mars and keep shooting rocks down to earth! We'll all be billionaires!
They've been crying wolf so many times.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
It's pathetic that news outlets just go with it. The headline should have a bunch of questions marks, not full stops.
My inbox is already "decluttered" because I don't randomly subscribe to newsletters I don't want.
Maybe a lot of people still need this, because they can't read what they click on, and that makes me sad.
The only place where a gun would have a valid use for self defense is when people are screaming.
But maybe you just want to ban guns.
Reminds me of the real mechanical turk (not the Amazon crap), which was a 16th century contraption supposedly using advanced mechanical intelligence to play chess.
It was really just a guy in a box.
I hated this bullshit from the first time I saw them popping up, and they've managed to insert themselves into so many retailers here.
"Larger customers like DuckDuckGo told Wired they won't be affected."
... for how long? While it is obviously a little ironic that DuckDuckGo routes the searches through Bing (and I was surprised the first time I read about it), it's still a sound idea and I'm glad DuckDuckGo can do it.
Or does DuckDuckGo pay dearly for the service, enough to compensate Microsoft's actual costs? Follow-up thought: If Microsoft no longer cares about Bing, will that cause DuckDuckGo to get worse over time?
A good start but it always helps to put this in perspective.
They made $350 billion in revenue 2024. Over $100 billion in income.
I assure you they make a profit breaking these laws. $1.4 isn't a small amount though, if it keeps happening.
My pet peeve is people uploading content with obviously incorrect aspect ratio to platforms such as YouTube, and the mass of people who watch it without realizing anything is wrong.
With that in mind, it doesn't surprise me at all that people think that "washed out" colors are normal, or just don't understand what they are looking at.
This is not as much of a problem, since the data recorder is local.
The problem is when they transmit data back to the company, who can be ordered to release it without you knowing about it.
