Yeah, my question for this was "WHAT Christian values", because if they were going to push the fundamental teachings of Jesus I'd actually be ok with that. What they really mean though, is to hang crosses and Bibles in every school and then watch the government speed run breaking every one of the 10 commandments, never mind the teachings of JC.

They’re no longer in business for a reason,

Fuck that. Bring back Blockbuster and Radio Shack. I'll take rentals over streaming any day, and electronics kits are da boss!

Work laptop: MS Teams is taking 1.2 gigabytes of fucking RAM just to exist. I'm not in a call. I'm not transferring files. Just the basic interface with chats (which still somehow manages to suck more than chat inferences from decades ago).

Not a brick. Infect it so that it seems to work but continually screws up or corrupts data in weird ways. The user will eventually assume the product is a PoS and shelve it, probably without buying another

The LLM will do whatever they tell it to, including making shit up in order to suit the narrative. They're the ultimate "yes-man" that's not even human.

Unfortunately for CEO's, it turns out that yes-men - or yes-machines - aren't particularly good developers or legal strategists

Governments wanting to identify and regulate speech under the guise of protecting children

It took me about 5 seconds to get the joke (about the time to grab and put my glasses on so I could read all the text)

The incel slope does seem to have a lot more members lately, whether due to social media or guys bitter from failed relationships, bit I will note that there's an old adage that still often rings true

"Men will fight each other physically sometimes to the point of bloodshed, but women will tear each other down socially without mercy"

Many will have married already, so choices when I was in my 30's tended to be:

  • Somebody who didn't marry because they really were careful about who they want to date or settle down with. This could be fine, but could also mean unrealistic expectations or some issue that hadn't worked through previously (I was in the latter boat)
  • Somebody who married and divorced, possibly due to a relationship that went bad. They may be the cause of that, the victim of it, or other circumstances. Increased chance of kids and ex issues
  • Married but the spouse passed away (30+ is increased chances for previously unknown medical issues to crop up, it just a car accident)
  • Somebody who didn't have it together enough (in their mind) to even consider relationships. Could have been persuing a career or took a bit to get past the "wild party" stage
  • Immigrants. People who worked to get out of one country and to another and relationships weren't in the cards yet. There can be possible language/cultural miscommunication hurdles (including different social cues)

I wouldn't say it's the dregs. Just that one's choices have changed a lot from "the one a couple houses/lockers down from you".

Yeah, seriously. Nvidia is too busy fucking over the consumer PC market to be interested to produce a CPU that'd sell in that same market. My bet is that any CPU they release would be targeted at cloud/AI as well.

Yup, but those are the cases that make the news. There's always gonna be some stupid/lazy ones

The HMD served as a Bluetooth (or related protocol) hub for the peripherals. Also wondering if the Frame will use lighthouses Pl like Index does or have the tracking from the HMD like Oculus and newer HTC's do. I'm hoping for that with accurate hand/finger tracking
