Seeing some very negative prices in the mid west (I think that's the right term) states too. Not even free electricity, people are being paid to use it.

Can you get a tariff that pays you to use energy in the US? Here in Europe we have some, and if you play the game right with a home battery your energy can be pretty much free.

Solar panels are actually very good for the environment. They can help over-farmed land recover by providing shade. Livestock and some crops can live under them very happily.

They are good for your house too, they reflect some of the heat away in the summer.

I'm glad that they made the pre-orders fair. I'm not after one, but too often they open in the middle of the night (for Europeans) and by the time we are awake are sold out or all the "early bird" deals are gone. I hate that, I'm not paying more that someone else just because they found out about it first, or I had to be asleep so I could work the next day.

This way where there is a large window and then the queue order is random is much better.

This is just a camera that makes sure the driver is looking forwards out the windscreen, and doesn't have their eyes closed or looking down at their phone for extended periods. The data isn't sent anywhere or recorded, there is no spying.

There is plenty of shit to be angry about, without making up more.

Is this actually true? I watched both Gamer's Nexus videos and while they mention that LG TVs can for nearby wifi networks, probably so they can geo-locate you, they don't actually connect to them or use them. Doing so would be very, very illegal in many countries.

I hate to defend LG, but there is enough to hang on them here without what appear to be unfounded claims.

No but maybe they should.

It should be opt in. So that you are aware from the start what you are potentially getting in to.

My cat just took a dump in front of the litterbox. Somehow that seems slightly more relevant than this news.

Of the big players, I'd say OpenAI is at the biggest risk of not really able to even stumble straight ahead, presuming stumbling/charging straight ahead is in the cards for the companies in general.

Also, our AI doesn't just regurgitate ingested text, code and images, often poorly. It is capable enough to END HUMANITY! (buy our shares pls).

Try disabling IPv6, it reduces that a lot.

Sounds like they don't work, it built a solver. Which is good news because once AI can easily defeat them they will go away and hopefully be replaced by something less annoying.

On a related note, website security is another nail in the coffin of IPv6, because it seems to hate IPv6 addresses. I often get blocked with it, switch to IPv4 only, and get right in.

China's emissions are down: https://www.carbonbrief.org/an...

The irony of all the climate change deniers claiming we would have to destroy our economies to address it, and now Trump is actually trying it. Meanwhile the commies are turning it into an economic boom with massive increases in both manufacturing and cheap energy to power the manufacturing.

Isn't that a good thing?
