We shouldn't downgrade the requirements unless it's a loophole to kill fiber projects to farmland and other rural places. It's completely fine if there is an alternative (aka starlink).

So they are training AI on how to bankrupt a company.

It's clickbait.

To you pull over and offer to siphon some of your gas when you see somebody on the side of the road?

Let's not glaze over the fact that they ran out of fuel in the first place.

Per abcnews quote:
âoeIf Zuckerbergâ(TM)s ship is there and this vessel just ran out of fuel, theyâ(TM)re under no obligation whatsoever to assist them. Zero,â said Davenport, who led rescues in the Bering Sea during his career. âoeIs it that common courtesy to help other mariners out? Yes, because someday youâ(TM)re going to need assistance.â

Picking up a call has been ruined by telemarketers.

If only the US had the balls to stop this as well. Specifically the interconnect crap that makes the call farms overseas cheap.

Actually it is, as most software for schools are web based and the children are just clicking on bookmarks. Even better the kids can login with a chrome browser and hit the ground running with all their saved items.

Copy and paste are a bit different but not worth considering as part of the change.

Exactly, it's been too long where optimization has been ignored due to cheap and plentiful pricing. Apple is the exception as it has tight control over its ram usage and could ship with 8gb prior to AI. That was due to squeezing profit out, regardless of the reason, it can be done.

Is there anything we are learning with the instruments being shutoff other than how far we can communicate back to earth? Pretty cool but what is the bill for the pings back and forth??

Yes, it's ten more problems solved. Now they can be applied towards solving more problems.

At least the display won't suck.
My kids all used Chromebook over the past 9 years. It hurt my eyes, just looking at it.
It will be interesting as most kids are used to touchscreens..

Threw it into Claude to diagnose. The short and sweet version, TLDR

The July 2026 jump to 10.65% in North America is mostly a measurement artifact — StatCounter's "Unknown" category (~9.24% in June) collapsed and that traffic, which skews toward Linux users on privacy-hardened browsers and VPNs, got reclassified as Linux, and the figure is still inside a 45-day revision window from a dataset that already had an acknowledged error in June. Underneath the noise the trend is real but modest: Windows 10's end of support and Proton-enabled gaming are driving genuine switching, though device-based counts like Valve's Steam survey (~3.7% Linux) suggest the true installed base is well under half what the traffic number implies. The bigger structural driver is that StatCounter measures pageviews, not machines — as casual users abandon desktops for phones, the remaining desktop traffic pool gets more power-user-heavy, so Linux's share climbs even without a single new install.

We already have a planet that can currently hold life. Imagine if we just worried about not completely shitting this one up.

Still they didn't protect their IP. Don't send something and assume others will protect it. Unless Netflix specifically requested it be unencrypted it should not be their fault.

They still need to be fixed.

Remove how silly it sounds from the get-go. It's an evolution of marketing and PR. It should be a specialty or certificate; anyone successful won't stick around for 120 credits. New platforms will be created and fall within the 4 years of required classes.

If they really cared it would filter everything based off of verification.
