No, in actual fact it isn't.

Nice typo. In fact, malicious intent is worse than gross incompetence.

Of course they will claim they tried.

Naziyahoo says what for decades? Bullshit every time? Get fucked, Zionazi.

You mean the fictional starship which has screens everywhere with a UI whose name is known to nerds everywhere?

Most US population centers are in places east of the point in their time zones where the sun is overhead (or due south) at noon, and being a bit west is better than being a bit (or very, for New England) east. This means that DST is mostly the right UTC offset for the wrong reason: Boston should be on Atlantic Standard Time year-round, but Eastern Daylight Time is a name for the same clock setting that is already used there sometimes, so that's easier to legislate. Of course, the people who live west of their true noon line don't think permanent DST would be good, but the fact that we should have no DST and a different map is too nuanced for the position that there's got to be a single simple answer as to how to fix everything, regardless of the situation.

That's illegal no matter what tool you use, though, and it's not the tool that makes it illegal unless it was designed to do illegal things intentionally, or if you keep using it when you know it does illegal things. Adding AI isn't the legal problem. It's just a slightly new gimmick to the same old game, pretending you didn't know what you were doing.

Screenless is stupid. Screens are cheap now. By all means make it audio centric but if I just have to get out my phone to get any info that isn't convenient to get via audio, then I might as well just use my phone for the audio stuff too.

MCA was mind boggling. IBM is exactly not known for being cheap, and yet that's exactly what they did with MCA autoconfiguration by using floppies instead of ROM. Meanwhile they used a very expensive card edge connector when there was really no good reason to do so. It's truly insane.

People would believe in the hardware if they put it out, because IBM is not really known for exaggerating specs. But they don't seem to be able to.

I don't want even a new Samsung phone with its crappy nonstandard apps, let alone an old one which also has old Android.

Mega corporation advocates for regulatory capture, this is my surprised face

Sure, but putting storage online is cheaper both initially and ongoing than putting a bunch of GPGPU online, and in both power consumption and dollars. It can take up just as much space but use an order of magnitude less electricity, therefore be quieter, and have no one care

It might actually turn out good for IBM if the bubble pops sooner than later. Then they get to look smart for not participating when all the AI stocks (and the stocks of any other company that bet big) slump.

IBM has been more of a services company than a hardware company for decades, it's true. And yet, they are still a hardware company despite that, and their hardware is supposed to back up their services.

In fact if any politician caused the Internet boom it was Al Gore
