China does a lot of good things and a lot of questionable things, but at least they prosecute white-collar criminals.

Walmart doesn’t make the box so more like Google or China.

Buy a $20 Android TV box from.Walmaet and install Smarttube on it.

This is exactly it, Microsoft always makes things about themselves. They change everything, mostly for the worse.

Getting harder to find phones with a headphone jack.

Costco is nice but there are too many people in there. Sams Club is more chill even if they are Walmart.

I’ve just seen a lot of strikes on civilian buildings in Ukraine cities. A lot of apartment buildings with many deaths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_attacks_on_civilians_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_war_(2022–present)

Yes, the sad reality is if you are being continually attacked by a neighboring country and are sending thousands of munitions into their country to try and make them stop, some innocent people will get killed

Russia purposely kills civilians. Ukraine seems to be trying to avoid killing civilians. Russia keeps attacking. They can stop attacking and make all this stop.

Wait until Flock footage or data accidentally helps prove a cop guilty of a crime.

If they don’t put any effort into creating it, why should I make any effort to consume it?

I love driving but hate weird parking situations. So much that I won’t even pull into a fuel station if I have to wait for a pump. In big parking lots I park way out at the end and walk instead of dodging all the cars and people up closer to the buildings.

Dammit can’t I get 20 minutes without more bullshit to deal with?

Between this and local police working with ICE, it feels like a federal government takeover of everything. The sheriff of a neighboring county has his salary paid by ICE/DHS, and that isn’t right. Federalized police departments.

I was with Erie insurance company for 15+ years when they pulled this, except it was closer to a 100% increase. No tickets or accidents but suddenly much higher rate. Switched to Progressive and was back to my old price.

They store, index, and retrieve data. That can be for web sites, search engine queries, or increasingly AI queries. AI queries take a lot of computing power.

To me AI is like a hugely complex and unpredictable gun that is made with illegal materials including a little methamphetamine, a little plutonium, the formula for Coca Cola. So while the databases and software of generative AI aren’t illegal per se, they can contain copyrighted/illegal materials and output the same. If a gun would just as likely stab you in the leg as shoot forwards it probably wouldn’t be legal to own, sell, or operate.

I would argue that self-driving vehicles are a public nuisance because the creators are allowed to release 3,000 pound masses of machinery, sensors, and software on public roads with public drivers and no one seems to take responsibility when it breaks laws that humans have to abide by.

I’m not on the list. But I’m banned from Reddit, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Isn’t it amazing that AI and self-driving vehicles can just break whatever laws they want and it’s just overlooked because progress, because investments, because billionaires, because profits?
