> What crime did he actually commit?

Fraud

Sounds as if they're drinking a little too much of their own Flavor Aid.

> Do we really expect all the world’s corporations to suddenly up their annual spend by 1,000% on average? Why?

because AI is gonna make them so much more productive of course. /s

On the same day they interduce AI flight controllers? [1]

Press X for doubt.

I absolutely hate that so many sites are begging me to use them.

That sounds like a worse experience to me.

> There are 3 billion users of FB/WhatsApp/Instagram combined

Is there tho? I have Facebook account but don't use it in any meaningful way. I'm certainly not feeding it any new data. I'm curious to know what percentage of that 3 billion are zombie accounts like mine.

> we occasionally have the difficult choice to discontinue features that require disproportionate maintenance resources.

Am I really expected to believe that the billions of dollars the company makes in pure profit can't sustain this feature? Am I really expected to believe the touted productively gains granted by Google's AI can't sustain this feature?

Its important to note that US deficit spending is breaking records. They can't even pretend that they're saving money.

We have $1.2B to prevent wind power but not to feed starving kids [1]?

> From 11 to 3 employees. Doesn't seem that outrageous outside

I hope I never have you as my manager If you think a ~70% reduction in head count isn't outrageous.

Or don't commit fraud worth millions of dollars using your personal Windows machine.

> When Mei was 4, one of her kindergarten teachers pulled Linda aside: Mei didn’t draw or write as well as the other kids and her language skills weren’t developing normally. Her mother might want to get her evaluated, the teacher said. In March 2023, Mei was diagnosed with global developmental delay, a broad label with many causes. Specialists explained that some of Mei’s behaviors—the funny sounds she liked to make, for instance—were associated with autism.

Rough year for the cranky geeks cast.

> Major US ISPs (Comcast, AT&T) should detect clearly suspicious activity coming from customer IPs and warn them to scan their computers, check their TV apps, and find whatever is turning their internet into a proxy. It's very bad for the customers too (slows things down, gets their IP banned, etc)

Does having TLS everywhere make this much harder?

Its time to abolish ICE.

> OR ALREADY HAD AN OLDER LG MONITOR PLUGGED IN, BECAUSE LG APPARENTLY ROLLED THIS OUT FOR MANY OLDER MODELS TOO!!

Just think about how many times hardware manufactures told customers to buy new equipment because they can't be bothered to patch the older models.

Why is a goverments debt only brought up when it comes to feeding starving children but not when subsiding oil companies, football stadiums, data centers, or spacex? We always seem to have enough money to do those things.

Edit: Not to mention billions sent to ICE.

Because feeding starving children is the right thing to do.

I would like to personally thank Elon, "big balls" and the rest of DOGE for causing hundreds of thousands of deaths [1] by shutting down USAID!

Also an honorable for bringing the screwworm to the US. Good job everyone, you guys did it!

If you sleep with dogs you're gonna get fleas. These AI companies have made billions by stealing other peoples content, what makes you think they would be above stealing from Apple?

> which is bullshit because the drip pricing that most people complain about is the X% "service charges" and "lifestyle fees" that restaurants have at the bottom of their menu in small print.

I don't think I go to the same restaurants as everyone else.

> What's the goal of the US/Iran war?

To make certain people money by shorting the oil market. There is a reason why these "peace" deals are always announced on Fridays.

Good thing we have those cookie banners warning us about websites tracking us.

> It lets you treat your employees as a replaceable commodity

This has been the objective of the tech industry for years

The meritocracy strikes again.

I don't understand the push back and all of the excuses about this. Europe's heat waves are deadlier than American gun violence [1]

> what kind of temperature difference can you get inside vs outside?

Enough to prevent death. When I was growing up we used duct tape and cardboard boxes.
