Just remember that you can regret voting for Trump but still be happy that you didn't vote for the other candidate.

It's not like we've had really good presidential options in the US from either party for the past 10 years or so.

You would think that they would have at least waited for their first F1 season to be be over before jacking up the prices.

It's bad enough that I'm paying extra for something that used to be included in my cable package, but now I have to pay even more?

Yeah, but in 2020 Trump was pretty confident that he was going to win reelection without needing a bunch of shenanigans.

This time, he's going to have come up with a pretty big fake emergency to suspend elections and remain in power IF that's something that he actually wants to do. I don't really think that he does, but man... he sure loves trolling liberals by posting Trump 2028 memes.

Why would cars need DDR5 RAM? It's not like displaying a GPS dashboard or mirroring CarPlay is super intensive. Cheaper DDR4 memory would probably work just fine in most cars.

Yeah, but aren't they filling their AI model with information on how to run a badly managed airline that went bankrupt? I don't see any value in that data, other than knowing what NOT to do in the future.

I don't know... maybe they just want their cheapskate passenger list, so they know who not to bother advertising premium travel services to in the future.

It will certainly ensure that you won't be buying used games at a yard sale for $5 a piece 10 years from now, anyway.

I'm sure that it makes sense to Zuck, who's desperately looking for any social media content with his family he can post that makes him look like a normal person.

Personally, I'd be more interested in seeing what he's filming during his business meetings, where he's probably discussing ways to more effectively replace his workforce with AI agents. He's probably not dumb enough to leave his glasses on for those dinner parties, though.

This is New York we're talking about, though. They don't really want to stop the grift, they just want their cut of the action.

Something tells me that it will only work on phones with the latest version of Android and the correct Bluetooth hardware. That's going to make initial support kinda useless if the tag isn't nearby.

If the reason for the temporary 22% user share is because all the Windows users are still home with their families for holiday break and all of the Linux using DevOps people and greybeard sysadmins are in the office working... that's not exactly a good selling point.

Dave Portnoy (a fellow universally hated rich guy) said this on X about this incident:

"I don’t want to live in a world where Zuck even thinks of slowing down for a stranded dingy."

Dave is an asshole, but he kinda has a point. Zuckerberg has probably made himself enough enemies over his tech career that he has to worry about people trying to kidnap or assassinate him or his family. He has some valid reasons for not wanting to stop and provide aid.

Maybe they should post it on Reddit instead with a new account, where someone who can actually fix the problem might see it?

Although, knowing Reddit, it will detect that he's coming in from the same IP or computer as the banned account and auto ban that one as well. So... maybe use a VPN and a different browser first, assuming that's still allowed.

I was really hoping for something like a Retromod Commodore Amiga 500 with HDMI out and modern I/O ports, that could dual boot Linux and AmigaOS.

I imagine it being able to be run in "Retro Mode" for classic games or distraction free word processing, but then could be flipped to "Modern Mode" for watching YouTube and browsing the web.

Instead, we got a flip phone. Rats.

Wouldn't the Gamestop/eBay combined company end up with a ton of debt if this deal goes through as planned?

We've seen this play out before with private equity buyouts, and it never seems to end well for the combined company.

Once nice thing about S&P 500 Index funds is that your stock has to be profitable for several quarters before it enters that index.

So, you don't have to be worried about your retirement investments being polluted with SpaceX AI slop... yet.
