On Sunday night, festival-goers filed into a 650-seat theater with their phones locked away, having no idea what they were about to see, told only that it ran nearly three hours, hadn't been shown anywhere, and that its principal creators would be in the audience.
This is what happens right before an MLM pitch.
A Radeon Pro R9700 is much cheaper (around â1500 where I live) and has the same VRAM. ROCm and Vulkan have evolved quite nicely and with room for improvement. I considered buying that, however, ended up choosing a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 128GB (around â2500) so I could experiment with bigger models.
It's not just children. It's every age demographic. Maybe children might be more susceptible, but every single age group is a target.
Back in the late '90's, Bill Gates promised to pay me $1000 if I forwarded all the emails he sent to my inbox for his email tracing program.
I've never seen a penny!
Know why they are implementing this? They want to show the board and shareholders they are using "AI".
If they really wanted to improve the food or overall dining experience, they would take care of their supply chain issues, food quality issues, and cleanliness issues in the stores.
I haven't been to a Burger King in over 6 months and I have no plans on going back. I ordered 2 burgers and the buns were very stale and one of the side items I ordered was unavailable so I just ordered the burgers. I tried a different Burger King about a month after the first one and was appalled by the dirt and garbage along the walls and floor in the dining area. Against my better judgement, I ordered a Bacon King meal and was rewarded with lukewarm meat and stale buns again for the low, low price of $15-$16 dollars.
I can get a burger at my local pub or brewery for that price and the burger comes piping hot with fries or chips and a pint of beer.
Burger King needs to wake up.
"standard"...
Having the middle click paste is incredibly handy and practical. When I started using Linux almost 30 years ago (rocking Afterstep as desktop) I found it strange. Now it's hard to live without it. It improves your productivity a lot.
They do and it's well known, as well as being the beach head to influence freedesktop.org
The N9 is, IMHO, the best phone I've ever had. I miss it dearly. It was destroyed by the Nokia authorized repair center when doing routine maintenance under warranty.
That phone was way ahead of its time in features (twice ahead compared with the iPhone, which only matched its features over five years later). And its performance compared with the flagship Android phones at the time (all with double the cores and double the RAM) was unparalleled.
...total fucking fraud...
In the last couple years, I've had to return items that were definitely not the specs advertised. One was a USB sound card advertised as stereo input but turned out they just duplicated the left channel to the right. One other item was a SATA DVD recorder that claimed certain speeds, but after 3 burning failures, I checked the specs with "wodim -prcap" and found those claims were complete BS.
The one that was truly dangerous though was the burner replacements for my propane grill. The originals were showing their age after 4 years so I made a purchase and accepted the Amazon sponsored choice. Big mistake. They looked OK, but after using twice a month for 4 or 5 months, I noticed the flame pattern looked off on part of the grill and food was flaring up on one spot. I checked the burner in that spot and found a crack in the top of the burner blasting out a solid flame. I ordered replacements again, but this time directly from the grill manufacturer. The burners I got look the same, but I found they weigh at least 50% more. When I took the old replacements off, the cracked burner crumbled the rest of the way in my hand. If I hadn't caught it, the eventual outcome would have been explosion and fire.
Release the Epstein Drive files!
As a former IBMer, let me explain the acquisition process.
Starting in 2026, Red Hat's back-office staff in HR, finance, legal, and accounting will be transferred to IBM, while engineering, product, sales, and marketing teams remain at Red Hat
Those back office teams are what IBM values the 2nd most from the acquisition. They didn't buy Red Hat for the people, they bought it for the Intellectual Property.
Once the IP is inventoried and audited, the layoffs will start for the engineering, product, sales, and marketing teams. Wait for an announcement for a small layoff sometime between March and June of 2026. The sales team will likely see one at the end of the year when IBM wants to find a way to avoid paying bonuses based on meeting sales targets.
If you want a real world illustration, look what IBM did to Lotus after their purchase.
Vidago, Pedras Salgadas, Vitalis and MelgaÃo are all from the same company (Unicer / Super Bock Group - yes, the beer one), different springs around the country (wife's deployef there doing IT work). They're all quite good. Some undergo treatment before bottling to remove excess iron content (MelgaÃo and Pedras at least). Pedras even has some delicious flavoured editions (lemon, tangerine, red fruits, passion fruit and pineapple). But the prices are *nowhere* near the article. A pack of four 0.25L bottles of flavoured Pedras is 2.19â (close to the same on dollars). And Vidago around 1.75 for a pack of the plain carbonated water.
I've used AI for a number of tasks trying to analyze data in datasets. I've also used it to perform searches and found that more than half the time, there is not-valid data. Even after using various prompts to discourage "guessing", I've been validating the responses and finding a large number are just outright fabrication. If you're using AI to do research or find citations and claiming it as your work, you do so at your peril!
without bargaining with the union, despite the estate's approval.
I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
They can keep their data private by licensing it for $350,000 per year or $250,000 per year if they sign up for a 3 year term.
What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman? A used car salesman knows when he's lying.
