How do you get rid of gigawatts of waste heat every day?

Heat up rocks and drop them?

Yeah, I'm sure Morgan & Morgan are just salivating at the thought of companies sending 8 ton death machines out on the highways unsupervised. They are probably training the lawyers right now that will manage whole AI lawyer divisions.

Some people will always want to lord it over a chauffeur, even a time-share one. A self-driving car does not provide that subservient human touch.

Those bonds will help keep the air conditioning and refrigerator on when a hurricane wipes out electricity for weeks in half your state.

Substitute snowmageddon or heat dome as regionally appropriate.

Or, hear me out, we fire 80% of our workforce, degrade quality, and make the remaining 20% work 10 hours a day.
ha ha, only serious

This coming from the company that graciously brought us "Fuck you business daddy!" to the vernacular.
They're right, it's priceless!


.sig does not apply in this case.

What does K'breel, speaker for the council have to say on this dumbfounding revelation from the Earthians?

I think this is the latter case, where the backups are useless to signal or law enforcement, and can only be decrypted by the keys that you hold on your device (or in a backup if you made one). The keys get spread to all the devices you have logged in to signal, so if you have more than one you're reasonably ok to not make an effort to back them up explicitly. If you lost all your logged in devices and had no backup of the keys, their cloud backup would be useless, but it's not super likely I don't think.

It's absolutely the case that you could just use any random cloud backup provider, and that their service is basically an overpriced, limited version of what you can get elsewhere. But even with all those caveats, I think it's a pretty good idea for them to offer this service. Most non-technical people could understand how to back up their chat data to some other cloud provider, but they simply don't want to learn. They'd rather tick a box in the app and pay $24 per year forever.

Personally that's not me, sounds like it's not you, but I'm not offended that the option exists, and I think it's an ok way for them to secure $2 recurring donations in exchange for a token service.

Wake me when I can get tattooed with chloroplasts like some sort of mutant bipedal sea slug.
People's lack of vision is so disappointing.

No worries, Bicycle Repair Man will save us all!

Now. You know. Where. James Tiberius Kirk. Developed his. Speech defect.
