We still quote this video nearly daily at work. Luckily I don’t have to deal with mongodb anymore.

Hopefully this is true because I’ve heard from people trying to do just that with other “Smart TVs” that won’t work at all without an internet connection and account at least for initial setup.

July 2024, just barely outside of 10yrs ago.

The kind of issues you run into “running the Internet” are not the same as the average desktop user. Most of those systems don’t even have a monitor attached, let alone a whole desktop environment or GUI.

That’s an interesting take I don’t see the line of thought on. If he’s trying to say “Biden wanted this but Trump already started it” that tells me BOTH parties requested it. Hence, if you don’t like Biden because of this, you don’t want Trump either. And of course, vice versa. In short, this policy is not unique to either party or administration.

Your last paragraph seems to be, therefore backwards. I get a lot of “if you think the democrats are oppressive, you don’t know the republicans… they’re the ones who actually started this request first.

Honestly, I don’t really see this as able to sway anyone politically anyway. The real reason for all of this extra that Zuck brought it up, is simply to SEEM like he’s being transparent and open to win favor with the people and coming administration.

And while the AnandTech staff is riding off into the sunset, I am happy to report that the site itself won’t be going anywhere for a while. Our publisher, Future PLC, will be keeping the AnandTech website and its many articles live indefinitely. So that all of the content we’ve created over the years remains accessible and citable.

This is such a big thing. Losing access to content is something we’re seeing en masse and future historians and hobbyists greatly appreciate having historical articles accessible and not lost to the sands of time. I think it would be even better if we could all torrent and archive as well, but accessibility and continued access is appreciated.

I was thinking RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.

Sure, we could go to four blades next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three… Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we’re a business, that’s why!

I thought this was fake or a bad result or something, but totally just duplicated it. Wow.

If you read the block of text…. It doesn’t make sense either.

My bookmarks are competing with my unplayed steam library.

Or that they have better benefits, deeper pockets, more of a challenge, will actually listen to him, etc. people change jobs all the time.

Elon could have spun off Tesla’s AI (FSD) into a separate company or created a new AI company that Tesla uses for their FSD. Instead, he’s pivoting Tesla, a fairly successful, if troubled car company that uses AI, away from producing cars. Why? I mean, this is consistent with his firings and division layoffs, but it seems like a dumb decision from the board’s/investors point of view.

This is actually a really cool idea. I feel like this would even be good for adults!

I’ve sent in ~50 letters to my reps and none have had even a canned response. They really don’t care.

I have mice that I bought 35 years ago that still work. I had to replace the buttons on one I got 20yrs ago, but it’s a daily driver and the switches are hella cheap and like a 5min solder job. Make them socketed and it’s now a forever mouse. Done.

… and they’re passing a bill to revoke car companies access to data and make collecting and sharing data illegal and add steep fines if any are found to collect it in the first place, right? Right?

Come on, these are the people at can do something about it, but they’re just going to be paid off and nothing will change.

Honestly the percentage of Reddit posts that Google returns which still actually retain their info is dropping substantially for me. Last few times it pulled up a Reddit post that should have my answer instead had either the question or the answers I needed deleted.

Any data transit costs money. Both in the data transit itself and in the increased server resources to respond to the web queries in the first place.

Add another one to killedbygoogle.com!

That’s why you download it. Luckily iTunes m4a files are high quality and unlocked so I can instantly play them in anything, even my Synology apps.

Video isn’t the same though. That’s all still encrypted.
