What about if we silently upload your files from your documents folder to OneDrive and replace them with links to the OneDrive copy, so that they stop working if you ever delete OneDrive?

My favourite new term for those people is 'meat proxy'.

It's the other way around - they're talking about building a lot more data centers than they're actually building, to convince investors that AI is actually going to make 10x the revenue in three years.

Where is that revenue going to come from? Which companies are looking to quadruple their IT budget? Where are all the consumers with a ton of disposable income? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like a Gentoo install. Set the hard disk up ready for use, put some Gentoo files on it, switch to running from the hard disk instead of the install CD or USB stick, download more Gentoo stuff, compile and install a Linux kernel.

Assuming you're not talking about the one with three languages and a continue button, if you don't get that one I can't really help you.

That was my point. He's living in poverty and the schools are shockingly underfunded if they need donations of crayons and it's presented as a feelgood story.

Crayons... aren't expensive. That's like $250 worth of crayons.

Why can't the schools afford crayons, and why did it take him two years to buy that many?

I'd argue that most people would see the pop-up, dismiss it and then be unable to tell you what it said. People have had a lot of practice at ignoring things trying to get their attention, because you need that skill to get through modern life where your attention is considered someone else's property to be sold to advertisers.

It isn't enough to show people ads, the manufacturer needs to be able to bill people for the ads. They need telemetry and updated ads. Built in ads aren't going to fly, especially for the manufacturer's own stuff which they could sell more effectively by not being shit to use.

You'd think so, but getting people to connect their monitor to wifi is going to be a hard sell.

There has to be some useful function to sell people on, otherwise they'll join the ranks of wifi-equipped fridges and microwaves which almost never actually get connected to wifi.

They work customer service, they're all dead inside.

He's worse than that: Trump doesn't give a damn about anyone who isn't Trump.

Mostly that the malware has a much higher chance of escaping containment on a Windows install, because it's designed to attack Windows.

I would have loved glasses that could detect advertising with a camera and block it out so I don't see it, but instead we got AI nudes and stalking.

This. Adblock glasses were never going to come from a company that gets a lot of it's revenue from ads.

There's a good chance they had information on him, but they got it illegally and needed to 'accidentally' discover the same information during a 'random' search and now they're butthurt because it didn't work.

He's in the looking for someone else to leave holding the bag phase, that's why he merged his AI business with SpaceX, took it public and had the rules changed to force index funds to buy in.

4k is better for web browsing and normal desktop use than gaming, IMO. 4k text is beautiful, you actually have enough pixels for fine details to not turn into a blurry mess.

Thankfully its looking like it won't last much longer. There just isn't enough money in the system to grow the bubble much further. Nobody has another trillion dollars to throw on the fire.

Your distro is crap, mine is awesome.

What distro do I use? I don't see how that's relevant. No, I don't need to know what you use either.

Edit: we all secretly know that Hannah Montana Linux is the best.

I realise it's a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it's running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it's a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

Income tax when you aren't receiving an income is a weird idea.

It sounds like the author wants a land tax, but hasn't ever heard the term.
