Google quit the "don't be evil" mantra a while ago, but when did they adopt "be aggressively evil?"

"To a programmer, not a user. And the firmware in such devices is rarely user upgradable."

Perhaps you look up to anyone who can press a pushbutton or flip a switch to be a "programmer", but I don't.

I recall our software used in industrial equipment having to be configured for such a situation.

So, it wouldn't have to be replaced, as you claimed.

"The real problem with blankets is how, in the middle of the night, they somehow magically move completely over to the woman's side of the bed without her being responsible for it at all."

Wait for menopause, then they move in the opposite direction.

>Since the 1980s, and possibly earlier, our electronic clocks have been building DST changes into the hardware. Generations of electronics needs to be replaced first.

If that were true (and it isn't), anything made before 2007 would already be obsolete. That's when the most recent change to DST start/end dates was made. I have a couple of clocks which accommodate DST, but it's just a simple on/off switch.

Do you think they sell electronic clocks made specifically for Arizona, or other areas which don't use DST?

Ed, man! !man, ed

>That puts the effort somewhere between direct static decompilation of a game's source code and more complete emulation of the entire PS5 environment.

Decompile source code? Is that like ROT26 encryption?

if McD put near that much effort into their app, I might go there more often. Even as much as once a month! As is, the app is high friction, it's easier to go inside or through the drivethrough.

>Meta Made 43M Misleading Statements,

They're never going to catch up with Trump, no matter how hard they try.

OMG!!! Ponies!!!

"Usury" relates to interest or fees for borrowed money, not high prices.

Thank you. The summary completely failed to support what the headline claimed.

>payments to OpenAI, with the Republican National Committee ranking as the company's largest political spender at roughly $9,700, the analysis found.

For some reason, I don't think $10K is going to be much help in paying for the billions being spent on AI data centers.

So this brings up an interesting case. Fingerprints are physical, they can force you to do a fingerprint unlock, the 5th won't help. But what if one finger was set to wipe the phone? You don't have to tell them which finger unlocks vs which wipes - that does fall under the 5th. So make your right index finger the wipe one, that's probably what they'd try first. And it wasn't wiped due to any action on your part.

>the instructor having to use AI to write backs up the claim that people are forgetting things by using AI.

Where did it say they had to use AI? And is asking an AI to proofread something that much different than MS Word flagging spelling and grammar errors?
