Re: a useful feature

The talk to Microsoft and tell them to stop tweaking their shit every time somebody else manages to make a 1:1 compatible version.

Re: Where are the backups?

Backup of their files? Maybe. Backup of your files? Who cares, you already paid to have your files held for ransom... erm, montlhy payment.

Re: It is amazing

Really? Every decision he made made twatter better. People jumped ship, advertisers went away. Give him another year and twatter will shut down. What could be better?

Re: Not sure I get it

Only the program itself should be able to change its setting.

WTF? So now we can't modify .ini/.cfg files in npp or via the command line because nanny knows best?

Of course it doesn't IF your bigger dad hasn't got a bigger gun.

Re: How do they stay in lane anyway?

I think I see the problem. Waymo cars only know the initial road conditions, as they were mapped. Any kind of modification (pedestrians, other moving objects, potholes, etc.) will confuse them.

Re: This is nothing new.

So yes, you don't need AI for shit results.

But if you want guaranteed shit result, there's nothing better than AI.

Do tell more. please.

My wife's a doctor (MD) and she has to use some kind of software to connect to the national health service. Guess what? There are only 5 or 6 companies providing the software and although the 2 best one use a client/server architecture (aka they run in a browser :D), it only runs on Chrom* on Windows.

The government also provides some kind of software but, as every government software, it's freaking buggy and, of course it only runs on Windows.

Re: AI auto-moderation

Nope, we will all be transformed into good little posters who obey the rules and have no fun at all.

Damn it man, you were not supposed to tell.

Re: 110 humans

109 men and 1 women? More like Smut village.

Re: "Our focus is on user privacy"

Customers. It's customers, not victims.

Re: Just one question

Hopefully just their presence will be all that is needed.

Suuure, just like in the rest of the world, where the mere presence of UN troops makes the population behave.

... returned the victim's phone to a BP gas station...

Sure, BP gas stations usually have a list of people and their phone's IMEI. Right?

Re: Don't mock the assisted drawing

Or worse, some maniac is going to connect the AI to the steering!

Didn't Tesla do that?

Re: Someone was bound to say it

<cough/><cough/>Malware? But they already have Windows installed!

Re: If you have money to through at patents...

Are you mad? Think of the poor folks at USPTO and all those patent lawyers. Do you want them to starve?

Double digit percentage, starting at 90%, to be payed in 24 hours after sentencing. From their own funds not from loans.

Re: ...Segoe, the font of the Windows 11 system UI

Sorry, I've skipped THAT fulgy monstrosity.

Re: Hell no

Damn it, you beat me to it. I was going to link to the actual TV screen, but....

Re: I'm sure some will suggest it is her fault for using Facebook Messenger to communicate

It's takes a warrant signed by a judge to get calls tapped

Only if you want to use that as evidence in court. Otherwise...

Re: Someone who has driven one

reversing camera

Here's your problem, Use your Eyeball Mark I and you'll do fine.

Re: Ah yes - the "there aren't enough charging points" defence...

There are vanishingly few people for whom an EV isn't already suitable...

When I will be able to carry electricity in a can and fill my battery from said can... Until then, I'm still waiting for my Corvega Coupe.

Re: Same old Microsoft, same old games

Until fcking Edge updates and starts changing things or pestering you to change them yourself.

No, that's AI for you.

Re: " national security interests"

China bad, US good, that's why.

Re: my solution is...

Mine is uBlock and pihole.

Re: A fitting epitaph

Just because you sign a waiver does not mean you know quite what risk you are taking.

OK, "by signing this waiver you acknowledge that death or permanent loss of limbs will occur." IF you don't know what risk are you taking when signing such waiver you're either an idiot or you just can't read and the people reading the waiver to you lied.

The house is smart. He isn't.

Big ass company with a lot of expensive lawyers on call stealing the ideas of smaller companies ..... nah! That would never happen!

There, much better.

Re: Two words for Microsoft:

He just forgot 'and Die'. Oh, wait, that's 4 words.

Re: So Google builds a profile of me ...

Don't forget googlesyndication.com and googletagmanager.com

Re: Back to the Future

Shirley you mean 2 computers, NSA and MSS, aka MS/ Amazon/Google/Facebook and Baidu/Alibaba/whatever.

Re: Interesting opportunities...

You mean new possibilities for targeted ads, right?

Why does MS (and a lot of other software maker) feel the need to modify the UI every time they bring out a new version?

When you have them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow, that's why.

Re: Point

So, the politicians and their friends. You know, the ones who donate something for the cause or provide oh so cozy jobs when they are voted out of power.
