>Which, if you think about it, makes the "you're selfish to have kids" a sort of species-wide suicidal ideation. But then, non-suicidal people are sort of selfish, wanting to continue to keep living. You do know that…
Yeah, but those guys want to get rid of those greedy artists, so they're all for AI they can leverage. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2023/08/google-record-labels-work...

More than 50 billion animals (land and sea) are killed each year for food in the United States, alone. Farmed animals must be fed to bring them to slaughter. If there was a reduction in farmed animals being eaten for…
Not to mention the terrible conditions that animals are forced to live in and injuries caused by processing (from birth to death) [1] as well as abuse by low-paid workers who are, themselves, working in poor conditions.…
There would be far less suffering if we all lived on a plant-based diet. As well it would help in the fight against climate change, reducing environmental impacts.
Sorry, what? Citation please. The speed lost moving a DIMM from a 3cm path-to-CPU to a removable DIMM slot 6cm away is infinitesimal. You would not notice it.
>> soldered-to-the-motherboard, everything-utterly-encrypted approach is that it's almost impossible to do data recovery >Well, that's kind of the point. Not that I don't appreciate a security-minded platform, it just…
The same game is still played today with LED bulbs (whether there's a cartel behind it or not, I do not pretend to know). See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klaJqofCsu4
As there has been community transmission and aren't actively testing symptomatic people (unless in known direct contact with someone who has traveled to an affected area, or traveled there themselves), it's questionable…
I do the same when I am on my bicycle as long as there are no cars approaching. Particularly if I'm crossing a moderate speed highway. It's safer for me to clear the intersection when there are no cars moving in the…
Sure, after spending hundreds of dollars on a device, it only seems fair that the vendor exploit your personal information so that credit companies and anyone willing and able to buy the data can compile a dossier on…
When I was 8 and all I had were half a dozen cartridges for my Atari, I would have loved this. Now, this might be interesting to try on a game or two, but I can afford any game I want and there are so many good games to…
That is indeed fictional, but the real world Ford Pinto that was based on is real [1]. 1. https://www.tortmuseum.org/ford-pinto/
Yes, people foolishly gravitate toward trucks and SUVs, fattening the wallets of the car manufacturers and fueling the insanely stupid 7 year auto loan industry [1]. Of course, this is also disastrous for mitigating…
It should have been a free launch title with the Index to spur sales. This is not going to do that now as a separate sale. The buzz (what little there was for an expensive VR rig) is over. It may well be good for VR…
That would be a much better link than the one provided. Wasting energy on the "IQ" issue is not productive to the problem presented: that air pollution does, indeed, cause (hopefully only temporary) cognitive decline.…

I have a 2015 Macbook Pro. I use it at my desk with an external mechanical keyboard. I carry my 2010 Macbook Pro whenever I'm out of my office. Apple's butterfly keyboard is horrible.
Other than still selling the Touch Bar as something we want, I'm somewhat pleased, myself. But I am still unhappy about the keyboard. Perhaps it may be better (a mote of dust won't immediately clog it?), but a 1mm…
Good luck proving it doesn't discriminate against minorities in court, you mean.
They should be required to display a "premises under 24 hour surveillance and recording" at their front door when they have any of these sorts of devices.
I'm a (depressed) realist, not a pessimist. I think the world CAN be better, though I realize that is incredibly unlikely unless enough people WANT to make it a better place and WORK to make it so. I would much rather…

Wow, Project "Veritas" really blew the lid off checks notes a news organization doing news? A CEO directing the news org to focus on a particular leading story? People having their own internal biases? I mean, what…
