And the new PS5 Pro is $900. Fucking ridiculous, but not just XBox.

Right now it’s only being done in a very limited number of places. I know the big one is some small suburb of Austin.

There's a million things wrong with this idea, but to me the two most obvious are, why would anyone use a social media app nobody else uses? And who would have control over this app?

I don't know what's normal for retail, but surely a lot of the business is drawn by the novelty of an AI operated store.

That was about their opinion shows, not their news shows. That case was specifically about Tucker Carlson.

Those kinds of arguments weren't saving Fox from the Dominion lawsuit, though. If they seemed like to have worked, Fox wouldn't have settled for almost $800 million right before trial.

Hastert doesn't have a law named after him. There's the Hastert Rule, which is an informal rule that no bill should be brought before the House to vote on it unless it already has the support of the majority of the majority party.

Hastert was convicted of structuring withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements and making false statements. The charges themselves were not inherently about homosexuality, though it came about from him covering up his same-sex abuse of a minor, and the indictment didn't mention the sexual abuse, and his allocution under the plea deal didn't initially mention it. He did admit it under pressure from the judge, who seemed to start to lean against accepting his plea without him admitting to the molestation, for which he could not be charged because the statute of limitations had expired decades prior.

Hastert has never come out as gay. Most child molesters, even those who molest the same sex, never identify as homosexual.

Right, whites and blacks kissing on TV! Heavy handed messages about race - like, one race is white on the left half, the other race is white on the right half, and they think it's so important! Women as bridge officers, Jews actors playing the biggest roles, constant anti-war themes, capitalism depicted as a primitive relic of Earth's past...the list goes on. Just disgusting.

Do you seriously thing Slashdot is getting marketing from obscure movie studios? Are they trying to corner up the "poor & old IT closet cleaner" demographic? Are they chasing the 27 replies this story will get?

A whole floor dedicated to Banksy, a meme artist from 2018! Sorry, I'm open to new or whimsical architecture, but at least from the outside, the building looks stupid.

This museum is basically "Star Wars exhibit with some other stuff for some reason." After the initial rush of Star Wars fans, who wants to go? And in 30 years when the last kid who saw star wars in the theater is dead, will anybody care at all?

Number 7 according to Car & Driver, which I think is much more trustworthy than whatever "Wealthy Driver" is. The Car & Driver list is also applies to 2025 rather than 2023.

The point is that the price of computers (and computing devices) has gone up substantially. Everybody knows this, not addressing common knowledge is making an argument in bad faith.

But yeah you can get an underpowered mini PC for $300 if that's all you need or can afford.

So is $80 for an echo dot but here we are.

808s and Heartbreak is the best album since Bing Crosby.

And DARPA has a whole program for it:

There is not going to be $2,000 worth of RAM in a new computer, get real. Tesla Y has 16GB RAM in the FSD/Autopilot and 8GB RAM in the infotainment computer.

This is just an excuse for people to whine about how all they want is a car without automatic window openers.
