The ZX81 did not have a copyright on boot.

One thing a lot of companies are moving to is asynchronous service - where you do an online/text chat, but sometimes that’s just as aggravating.

However some companies do it well - recently had to do a warranty exchange with Apple - after I couldn’t find anything useful in their warranty webpage, I hit their Support app with the question (which essentially initiates a chat via Messages)

Within minutes I had a response, where a voice callback was scheduled (within about 10 mins since I was available), then onto an immediate escalation (by them, not me) to further verify/qualify the defect, to eventual resolution, all within 30 mins (which included me fumbling a bit to get pictures while the agent waited).

Overall I was very satisfied with the overall process, as I didn’t have to sit and wait on hold at all to start addressing my issue.

Or else called $OPNAI.

LOL!

>“You’re not thinking in the long run. What if you would have said goodbye to the internet when the bubble exploded back in the 2000s? There would be no Google. Or Meta whatsoever,” she said.

She says that like it would’ve been a bad thing.

Just goes to show how long it’s been going on. SJ was just one of the early “pioneers” of this.

Nah, I like “Meta” since it’s appropriately short for “Metastasize”.

It’s a symptom of the same monetization problem (ie. greed).

>I suspect that sites don't know when CloudFlare is false-positive blocking legitimate visitors and costing them customers

So let them know. Put a value on it too. Then maybe they’ll be more careful in dismissing “false positives” as a business cost (especially for someone like GitLab competing for business).

So it’s staying flat? Cool.

I fully agree with your statements that nobody is owed anything if they give their work/time to a cause. But it doesn’t give a free pass to others to demand work/fixes/time, or have a sense of entitlement, to that work, and become belligerent towards those that are giving their work to them.

NORAD shot it down, not the US.

It’s not the US that shot it down - it was NORAD.

>The meme featured a photo of actor Nicolas Cage smiling and said “Firing 12k people rises the stock by 3%, one rushed AI presentation drops it by 8%.”

I wonder if there was one with Nelson Muntz pointing, with the caption “Ah-ha! Your AI doesn’t even know what telescope took what picture!”

And again!

Thanks once more!

Well said.

>No chance someone who chose to work at Google for half a million is going to work at the NSA for $120k.

Sure there’s a chance, which is equal to the chance the NSA will coerce you into it by blackmailing you based on the info they have on you.

Yes, I’m tired. It’s basically become a buzzword about something whose capabilities are sounding overblown more and more.

Just waiting on that bubble to burst.

LOL “theory”.

All your databases are belong to /dev/null

Did you work at Ford as an executive during the Pinto era?

So, where’s pvg to whine about that? Guess you’ve taken their place?

Imagine someone’s comment being voted down simply because you don’t agree with it, regardless how valid the arguments within are.

“Hey Siri, remind me to not walk into this store when I’m near it” (as the salesrep continues with the pressure tactics)

Shouldn’t that be the point?

If the argument is that tipping keeps their prices low (costs/wages), aren’t you just ending up paying the same price anyways in the end? Like, why all this extra BS?

Just pay decent wages, set fair prices, and make no more tipping “the norm” instead.

The first few paragraphs makes this sound like it’s from an AI fanboy with a vested interest. Difficult to take seriously.

No, this channel is dedicated to documenting tragedies/accidents, their impacts and repercussions, and the safety improvement those events bring about; it’s not about all the gore of the actual events.

It’s a quite interesting channel, worth following IMO.

Sorry to hear about your predicament (best of luck)

This scenario illustrates why “smart” TVs aren’t such a great idea (you think it’s dead and can’t log out, but someone else eventually fixes it or uses its parts)

There are file locking mechanisms you can opt into (compile time options) to have multi-process access to the same database file - it does require either some coordination and/or more error handling, especially when writing to the database.
