Buy some tactical gear, a mask, and a fake ICE badge and you’re set. You can do whatever you want.

Since wifi and bluetooth use the same frequency it would be great to fire up a jammer for when people walk by carrying those enormous bluetooth speakers.

The first time I was given formal instructions on using a semicolon was in Pascal class. People quit using semicolon in English because it wasn't on the exams. And both US and UK education systems are focused on getting through the tests.

Plus these models are trained on Reddit and substack posts. So even the training data is psychotic.

I remember when my buddy got the original Nomad Jukebox when it first came out (2000?). Ugly as hell but it worked really and beat the iPod by about a year, and I don't think Apple really caught up until a few years after that. But Apple was smarter than Creative because they took control of the music distribution for their proprietary device, while Creative tried to work with standards and with mostly whatever the end-user wanted to use.

Winning the market is rarely about making the best product with the most value.

The laundered crypto will be laundered once again into the presidential shitcoin wallet. Why do you think the birthday parade was sponsored by Binance?

Enjoy your remaining years with people telling you: "I told you so!"

If your average slashdot user had worked in Bell labs in 1947 they'd be bitching about how that lump of Germanium barely amplifies anything compared to the current 6SN7 vacuum tube.

You can store a lot of low bitrate MP3s on a 5 GB hard drive (lowest spec of 1st Gen iPod)

USB to FireWire adapters are around $10-20. They tend to only support a subset of FireWire and don't support chaining multiple devices, but it's kind of what you need in this scenario.

Why, it's almost as if the web was meant to be a many-to-many relationship and we weren't supposed to all be dependent on a single point of failure.

I wonder if the Internet can figure out how to stop putting control of every last goddamn dollar on Earth under the control of a single company full of people who are sexually obsessed with destroying creation? This is what, round three after IBM and Microsoft?

I'm thinking I can save a lot of money if I only get a one way ticket.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” — Santayana, George (1905) Reason in Common Sense

Perhaps NASA would be more competitive if their budget was on par with SpaceX.

Most definitely. He’s been saying Tesla will have fully autonomous driving for years now. He also said the cyber truck would be able to float but they need a special setting just for going through a car wash. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tesla.com%2Fownersma...

You enjoy throwing money away? I find Amazon to be more expensive than most other retailers. They offer convenience but half the shit they peddle is from a third party who buys something for $10 from Walmart and then marks it up to $20.
