This is what made me reconsider buying - no touch screen controls for me. I noticed that 2026 Outback has actual buttons, but the exterior design is reminiscent of Pontiac Aztek that I also sitting that one out.

I was considering buying a new Subaru, but with no physical buttons for HVAC controls I decided to hold on to my old car longer. Maybe I can sit out this touch screen craze out.

They could have a) attempted to contact him b) check his twitter where he posted about his plans to create Bluesky account. ZERO effort was spent to verify prior to ban, because this ban was about what he posted (questioning trans orthodoxy). The only reason they unbanned is because this went viral and resulted in tons of bad publicity, any regular user would still be banned.

Not credible. JD account was restored only after it made the news.

Tesla's touchscreen was always pain to use/bad idea, them doing it first does not make it any less of a bad idea.

Posting this got JD banned from Bluesky. After something like that, you can't pretend that it wants any conservative or moderate posters.

Came to post this. AI will jack up prices to maximize revenue on per-customer basis.

I think we are fortunate that it takes more than added complexity to arrive to AGI, because what we are seeing right now is complete misalignment. Had these AI entities were capable of reasoning and motivation, we as humanity would be toasted.

SF covered this topic - it is likely we will have to raise, as in human child mentoring in a family-like structure, AGIs in human-like way to get them aligned.

Because; almost nobody uses them correctly.

Out of curiosity, what does your small business do that requires multiple ESXi and vCenter? I am not defending Broadcom, but that does not sound to me very small.

They will panic when gov't starts abandoning VMWare due to wild swings in the contract costs. MS, Oracle, etc. know that you can't directly extort money by raising the price - it has to be via "optional" support contracts. Rookie move Broadcom.

So you should have no problems exposing it as slander by asking for proof and then critically reviewing provided evidence.

Stop hyperventilating. Higher (and lower) temperatures were observed in both geological record and during human history. Greenland had forests, Sahara was green. If something going to wipe humanity, it is probably going to be nukes or engineered virus, not climate warming.

Our planet is in a warming cycle, there won't be any pole ice in 50 to 100 years. This is inevitable regardless of what humanity does, save some extreme geoengineering. This is OK and happened many times in our planet history. Enjoy Global Greening and stop worrying about Milankovitch cycles.
