Nah, literally something that hasn't happened to 99.99% of users in the past 20 years.

Well there's your problem. Stop using Windows ME. It's very clear that if your windows is breaking to the point of needing a reinstall / repair and it's a "frequent occurrence" then my unfortunate sir, *you* are the problem. Not even TFA is talking about that.

OpenAI said they expect to spend $600bn through to 2030 on compute costs. That's $150bn per year in costs. They are projecting to make $25bn in revenue this year.

They try to get closer to making a profit like I try to get closer to winning an Olympic gold medal by doing a couple of pushups every day.

Hey as long as don't got pronouns all good!

While I agree with you in principle (it's a horrendously bad idea to dox your kids online), the concept of asking children for consent is silly. The entire legal framework we have devised is one of authority over children.

A better answer would be just don't do it, and ban them from doing it too (as a good parent should). Their opinion or consent shouldn't come into it.

Someone posted the court order you were looking for on reddit: https://i.redd.it/gln6bwoamx12...

Water use should absolutely be high on the list since much of the world's population is increasingly water starved. Even in places known for endless rain we are experiencing droughts, river level variation not seen previously, and water table droppage.

We can't stop pouring water on farms. That provides food to eat. But we can absolutely mandate the end of the use of evaporative cooling for datacentres which is not only a significant water consumer, but something we do largely only for cost avoidance rather than absolute necessity.

You say this as if this isn't a fucking scary number considering a typical query. Given you can't type something into Google these days without a query being generated, and that a typical conversation with ChatGPT can literally run from the 10s to the 100s of queries comparing it to a shower which you do once a day is just absolutely mind-blowingly silly. On top of that humans don't last long without basic sanitation, but we've somehow made it through the entire rise of civilisation without Gemini giving me an AI generated preview of something I could click on anyway. Showering isn't wasting water. AI is.

There's nothing "wild tangent" when we're discussing the resource requirements of datacentre. It's literally those two, and both are important.

CAPTCHA is a fundamentally broken system these days and is doing little to stop bots.

To be fair, owners of old accounts would barely recognise any of these sites anymore, so maybe ask if you really need someone to speak for you, or you would instead be begging for a convenient excuse to leave a dying spam filled platform behind.

Actually it explicitly isn't, with the exception of channels dedicated to just showing one show TV has historically always contained content to specific hour or half our periods, broken up by advertisements, and often a full week between serialised episodes.

Why? They are unable to use it responsibly. We actively censor children all the time, it's part of the recognition that they are still in fact children.

Spotted the psychopath. Personally I find your post hurt my feelings. An ICBM is enroute to your house for ethical reasons, purely self defense of course, I don't like my feelings hurt.

Depends, are those forums moderated?

If you can name a car that has no door key, you'll have found an edge case in the industry. Virtually all of them have a key hidden in the fob.

I think the label is legit. "Very few" may not be correct in absolute numbers, but in terms of player hours and popularity it really is. If you want to play some less popular games then sure you'll be fine, but looking at the list the red ones seem to also be the who's who of popular online titles.
