except most people don't get home with a flat battery, they get home with 50%+ in the battery and will happily let it drain some before then filling up on the cheap rates overnight.

it isn't so much for blackout. Think of areas with time of day pricing, you can pull from your battery during peek evenbing or morning periods and load the car battery during cheap cycles.

well actually yes most blacksmiths were replaced and yes most farmers were replaced. AI is no different.

yep that is the key to it, Rote Learning. The repeated exposure to the workings helps cement it in your head. We had the same in Uni, many of the Math books the full answers with workings were in the back and we were encouraged to use to correct our own work, even final exams in my post grad degree were open book (double edged sword that though as with open book they expect perfection on the answers)

Many said and thought the same about calculators. you just need to adapt to how you check homework and it should be by them showing an understanding of what they have done, if they understand the workings without a prompt or AI in front of them then what tool they used is irrelevant.

Not into the annual mindless CoD/FIFA/NBA etc myself BUT that mindless interaction with friends is what many people are looking for. If that does it for them why should they expand their horizons? gaming is their to entertain and whether that is a ball on a string game or complex games with indepth stories comes down to whatever fulfills the persons needs.

The original Xbox was sold at a serious loss to gain market share. component cost wise it would have been around $450 or around $850 today. They may still do something similar

It is a good couple of years off and even current gen is not far off these prices. As long as it is not crippled spec wise it will probably be fine, Sony will be releasing in a similar price bracket as well unless something happens like an AI collapse to reduce component costs (unlikely in the timeframe)

retro gaming is little more than a rounding error and that is unlikely to change even with these ridiculous prices.

yeah not likely, even Sony's 6 year old console is at $900 as it is so expensive for components now. These prices are likely at the lower end of their new incoming console costs as well.

PHP has been a running security clusterfuck since inception where security took a backseat to ease of use and adoption. It always astounded me it became so popular despite always being insecure.

If it was a teams decision then it is that teams boss/leader that is responsible or everyone involved in that team decision should be held legally accountable. The bullshit of "no one person made that decision" is just bullshit to try and avoid legal acountabiulity, they have been shown to have known what they were doing was not legal so they have zero defense.

It is not about the federal government. Like all these bans it is an easy way for Trump to block competition from companies that are surpassing US companies, declare them a national security risk and it effectively blocks commercial use in the US.

hi res video requires huge amounts of ram while editing, hence 64 bit comes into play, it also as you say helps with performance too

completely clueless. windows is 64 bit and has been for a long time, it also defaults to IPv6. this same problem exists in linux and mac world, basically NAT means a lot of people didn't need to learn IPv6 so unless the tech is doing it for them by default (like windows or your phone) they are probably defaulting to Ipv4.
