Technical debt. It's a real thing at most companies, unfortunately. "Yea, we know we need to fix this one thing, but it is a lot of work, let's wait". And the can keeps getting kicked. You'd be surprised how many companies are still running CentOS 7.9 and haven't even considered plans to update...

Well, if it were efficient, that wouldn't be a viable subscription business model, right? Which is the model I see ads supporting. If these companies did it right the first time in the first 30 days, why would people pay for a 2nd month of "service"? But I think we all know that once something...

Please, explain to me how Microsoft screwed up here? Crowdstrike screwed up by not properly validating their update, and doubly guilty for doing a mass push instead of a small subset of customers. They definitely have the lion's share of the blame in the overall outage. Delta appears to have...

They're leaving because (and this is a vague recollection of some articles I read online so might be incorrect here) is Altman seems to have unrealistic goals. Could also be that those heading out don't want to be tied to any copyright suits. Or as the 2nd commenter said, money. Or, they only...

This is the route they should have taken here. I can't imagine the hidden costs of such a service when you factor in support, unit loss, technician overhead, shipping (surely it is more than $50 per unit), and many more factors. At least with a hosted service you have everything in the DC in...

Well, if power consumption rates keep spiraling, there is at least a cap on how quickly AI-focused DCs can even function. So, silver lining? If the power grid can't keep up, maybe there will be a threshold soon where this nonsense has to take a back seat.

Houston votes democrat, FYI.

This was the shocking part to me. The family is going to fight the toxicology report because the other passenger, who tested as high, claimed the driver "didn't seem that intoxicated"? Seems pretty weak. Tesla should fight this (and I say this begrudingly)

As someone currently on a flight to Sydney, with a through connection to Perth, I strongly dislike where your brain jumped. Could be worse though. Raining spiders, anyone? https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/animals/heavy-rains-flood-perth-with-giant-jawed-red-headed-mouse-spiders-c-11410125.amp

And they never have been. Are we completely forgetting how Steve Jobs ran it in the 80s?

This was my hot take too. What crime did he commit? Holy cow, Turkey takes Uni SERIOUSLY. In the USA, the student would be disciplined by the university, either by making them retake the course or expulsion. Jail? For what?

Odd - I used a roku streaming stick in several Holiday Inn Express hotels just last week. Didnt see that setting (or notice the effect) at all. Even on OTA channels.

Yea, but I don't lease my phone. I own it. I do remember that though - shady practices will always abound I suppose.

Because the FDA is a federal entity and these products are technically illegal at the federal level? But states are skirting the federal rules. And this is what happens. Who is going to force or press the manufacturer to issue such a recall? This is the grey area we live in these days. There...

That would be theft. A TOS doesn't cover the physical theft of a device. You can apply that insane, abusive language to IP or software or an EULA (which should also be illegal by the way), but if you physically steal my device, I will physically find a way to re-acquire it.

I chuckled. Wakka wakka wakka ;)

The old school version of the "Chipotle order hack" all over TikTok (and my news feed for some reason)! Back then ('98 or '99) the price difference was maybe 20 cents $USD. $0.79 for a hamburger, $0.99 for a cheeseburger. I don't know if their systems allowed the level of customization present...

To echo others' comments - same, no idea this was even there. I think I saw it but I had no idea what it meant or how it was supposed to function.

We aren't chatgpt. Read the article. Focus on the last few paragraphs. ...well crud, maybe we are chatgpt

When I was a teenager, I dated a girl that worked at McDonald's as a high school job. One day a customer asked for a hamburger with cheese. She rang it up as a cheeseburger. When the burger was handed over, the customer became irate and insisted he wanted a hamburger with cheese, not a...
