I mean, if they are playing most on target hits with a footgun they are winning big time.

He’s going to ruin it anyway.

There might have been regret videos, but I really doubt any that might exist were even near tearful. Unless you count the dude dancing to Bo Burnham’s Joe Biden song. That might count.

No fucking shit. I both do and do not get why it takes “experts” to say this shit. Everything is fucked, what do you expect? Yeah, yeah, having an expert say something notifies people not connected to the affected people, but come fucking on.

This shit makes me so angry because it feels like there are a bunch of people with their heads up their ass that just came out for their once a decade deep breath only to realize something fucking changed while they were napping in their colon. Can’t fucking deal with this shit.

Yeah, I’m not wasting much more than an eyeroll on it. Definitely bigger fish to fry out there.

Google uses GNIS too iirc. Not defending them, I hate them, but I think that’s correct.

That was hardly conspiracy worthy. It’s a bit hyperbolic, but it’s a fairly legit concern. Big tech is not the friend of any consumer. And big tech buying literally anything ends up a net negative for the consumer and freedom of choice. There is evidence that tech oligarchs (openAI/Sam Altman) want to gatekeep even knowledge and charge a subscription to access it.

Huggingface is now absolutely going to become pay to play. Maybe not day one, but it will happen. Just like all the other services out there that are now subscription based that were once free and offer little to justify the move. It’s also likely to drop AMD development or at least deprioritize it so hard they may as well.

There are also movements in the industry that suggest these big tech companies want to push a move to thinclients connected to cloud services instead of local machines. This idea isn’t helped by companies like Sony stripping away physical media. Nor by the RAM manufacturing cartel colluding for overpricing and abandonment of consumer markets.

Conspiracies are only conspiracies until they come to pass, and not all conspiracies are unfounded tripe like flat earthers etc.

Much of that red tape is there for good reason. It protects our natural resources and our citizens. I don’t disagree the US could do better, but things like environmental studies are important to ensure healthy growth, not just rapid. AI data center bullshit happening right now is a perfect example of the impact and destruction of steamrolling these things.

Fuuuuuuck that. That sounds like literal hell

Boring ass dystopia. They also made a “new” one that’s has extra filling etc. It’s basically the original but now they charge out the ass and give you half as many

Used to use it pretty regularly. Especially for automating service tag retrieval. My main qualm with it was inconsistent use between manufacturers. Otherwise it was a nicely handy tool.

As much as he’s a cunt, he’s not all bad.

Lawl nooope. He knew. He just doesn’t like push back.

She’s a fucking idiot. And definitely unqualified to talk on half of the shit her profile says she does.

Not a huge fan of the size of the screen, but it seems nice otherwise. I actually appreciate it being a little thicker because I have big hands and gripping thin things hurts after awhile.

sigh They are fucking with you. They weren’t serious from the start.

Oh geez that’s traumatic

Could it please happen now? Would really like it if it could happen before the world ends.

That’s kinda been Google’s standard operating procedure from the start. Anything they get bored with, they bin. I have refused to adopt any of their tech for a long time because I watched them shutter good products all the time. They are too stochastic and too unreliable to trust with any important data.
