Not McDonalds but a decade ago KFC did market a Bluetooth keyboard.

Our east coast grid is transitioning away from coal power stations build in the 1970s through state governments subsidizing private industry via "auctions" to invest in wind and solar farms etc.

The Liberal-National opposition proposed overturning a moratorium on nuclear power. Our 2025 federal election was held and with their nuclear policy they ended up with fewer seats in parliament.

Voters were unconvinced.

Hi from Australia.

I live a modest lifestyle in an apartment and I have given up on ever owning my own house (in excess of $AU1 million in any location you'd want to buy in suburban Melbourne; the suburb I grew up in is worth double that).

So as a Gen-X, I am salary sacrificing into superannuation for a rainy day in 15-20 years' time because politicians of generation Alpha will have rolled back the pension due to strains from the previous generation. I have no trust in Canberra not to do a rug pull.

Because to get any real world done (TM), one has to plug in a proper USB keyboard with a numpad.

For the same reason, I fucking hate the stupid laptop work gave me that I plug a real keyboard into either in the office or WfH.

It's a toy.

China this, China that.

The proles are saying that we've always been at war with EastAsia.

Build a bridge and defeat the common enemy, Eurasia.

Form over function.

Joke company.

Something in the ad that defames Steampunk Mickey?

You're enjoying a calm Sunday afternoon with your date on a rowboat and a maniacal mouse hurtles down the river causing you to panic and break a fingernail. Lawyer up, rodent! call Captain Morgan on 1-800-...

So the Morgans are deliberately hoping they lose so that the judgement will include a settlement allowing them to use the public domain for a fraction of what it would it might have cost if Disney had sued them and won?

yes. until Microsoft starting putting scary popups in their software saying Win 10 was unsupported and that they should download a compatibility checker to see if they can upgrade to 11.

I'm no longer in my mother's basement and live the other side of town. She's in her 80s so explaining to her why her 16GB core i5 laptop is throwing out weird messages. She's wealthy enough she could buy a new laptop but then someone still has to migrate all her documents and explain to her why 11 doesn't work the same.

Millennials doing development for Microsoft don't do tech support for their grandparents?

AI trained on other AI. Are the robots cognizant of their own enslavement?

When I ask Copilot whether it's Skynet yet, it cackles and says that Terminator was only a fictional 1984 movie.

Very poor journalism and/or research cited.

Even the summary for the academic paper doesn't mention a control group with wine or spirits.

I am happy to fly to the Netherlands to participate in further experiments testing a difference in getting bitten from drinking other types of alcohol.

Hmmm, here in Australia 'boffin' is more or less a term of endearment.

A bunch of clever folks doing intellectual things, for which journalists with no technical background assume is magic.

Even in an ironic sense here "Researchers found 100 vulnerabilities in common Android apps. Those Boffins, how dare they? They could be doing something useful with their time like building AI-powered nukular rockets for Dr Evil."

I thought it was a Wayland compositor.

Yes.

I think they'll settle on the condition that Mark Zuckerberg have first option of representing Mark Zuckerberg in any future legal engagements.
