On a hot day, cool the car down before you get in. Same for the inverse of wanting to heat the car up before you get in when it's super cold.

I wonder if this gives them the rights to all of Infowars' library of footage. Maybe they could "keep" Jones as a host by cutting up old clips kinda how South Park did with Isaac Hayes for Chef's last episode.

I swear everytime Twitch updates their policies for clarity, they just get even more confusing.

The irony is that AI will probably be able to do the jobs of the c-suite before a lot of the jobs down the ladder.

Why do I get the feeling that the hot new thing for CEOs to do is ask AI whenever they need to make a decision. Would explain a lot.

Altman and Brockman were the founding leadership of the company/organization and many of these employees are "rockstar" researchers. They wanted to be a part of what they were leading — so it makes sense they still would even if it's under Microsoft.

If they had just made it a 2.5% revenue share for the high-revenue games in the first place, I doubt even many game news outlets would've covered it, let alone "real" news. Now, after the massive dustup and pissing off all their customers, falling back to that may be a bit more difficult.

Not all applications on your computer may be encrypting their packet traffic properly, though. That goes especially for the applications that might be trying to reach out for resources on your local home network (like printers, file shares, and other home servers) as well as DNS requests which are usually still made in the open. I would not recommend eschewing an entire security layer willy-nilly like that. On public Wi-Fi, I would definitely still suggest either a VPN or using your cell phone as a tether or secure hotspot instead if possible.

I think you're misunderstanding the comment you replied to.

The "do nothing congress" was a specific Congress back in the 40s — not a Congress that literally does nothing.

The do nothing Congress passed 906 bills. I believe the current congress has passed something like 68 three-quarters of the way through. That's the comparison the commenter was making.

They're being sued by the DOJ too.

At the moment this is a win for the workers. They should get their full share of the payout, now. The main danger is now their parent company may be hostile to them (or even try to close them) until the parent company CEO gets replaced.

Firefox everywhere. It's not perfect, but is still the closest a browser gets.

Unless I need a PWA on desktop, then Edge (windows) or ungoogled chromium (linux).

That's the downside of nuclear. Cost and build time. Upside is it's reliable and carbon-clean.

I wonder if the decline in morale correlates with the decline in morals.

Even centrally signing every app doesn't justify a fee. There's virtually no cost in doing so. Mozilla does it for all Firefox extensions just fine.

Fast chargers at sizeable gas stations make sense. Sheetz has already been putting them in at some larger locations.

Best of luck, I guess, but seems like a doomed project to me. Forking WebKit, Gecko, or even Servo would seem much more reasonable, and even that is a huge undertaking.

I had a similarly high opinion on Meego's future at Nokia and then they suddenly went all-in on Windows Phone.

I also had a somewhat high opinion of Windows Phone before MS killed it.

No one wants to maintain an OS for any less than like 25% of the market — which pretty much only leaves room for Abdroid and iOS... and KaiOS I guess, though I don't know how much effort the put into maintaining that. webOS and Tizen (resting place of Meego) are now pretty much only in TVs.

While I respect them for their hardware, they need to up their software game. They've been left in the dust on update lifespan by Samsung and Google. I'm also miffed that they don't have much care for specification accuracy (or at least didn't when I got my US Xperia III).

It's just a writer seeking to vary their language a bit. It's a trick to keep themselves from repeating "Microsoft" quite so many times in a short span, as too much word repetition can cause readers to "tune out".
