This is because dedicated consumer AI hardware is a dumb idea. If it's powerful enough to run a model locally, you should be able to use it for other things (like, say, as a phone or PC) and if it's sending all its API requests to the cloud, then it has no business being anything but a smartphone app or website.

I doubt it. Cryogenic preservation is probably possible, but current methods likely do too much damage to the person's tissue to ever be salvageable, especially since most of them were dead for hours before being frozen. Their brains were unrecoverable before they even entered the pods. Ideally you'd want to be frozen more or less immediately. As in "the process begins while you're still alive and they euthanize you on the table inside the cryogenics facility" immediately.

Plus a lot of these companies experience regular refrigeration failures, which is probably what caused the corpses in the meme to liquify like that.

I mean, the correct answer is just to pirate it, but you could probably fool it into thinking you're on windows by changing the user agent string of your browser to Chrome Windows x86_64

The steam deck library includes the entire switch library via emulation, so Yeah Obviously. (Ik they're not counting emulation, but my point is that the steam deck is a PC, which makes it much more versatile)

We'd probably be fucked, but it'd be interesting to see. The professed ideology of the Chinese state is very different from their actual actions -- for example, they mandate study of texts by Marx and Lenin that advocate for worker-controlled militant labor organizing while at the same time banning any non-state-controlled unions. An actually Marxist AI might turn on them lmao

Do they not still test the blood for HIV regardless of how "high risk" the donor is? You should be tested immediately prior to donation and the donation rejected if you test positive, this is a fuck-up on whoever took the blood. Also, prisoners??? Why in the fuck are we paying prisoners for their blood? Every private prison company should be nationalized and have its leaders tried for their crimes istg.

Just looked up a screenshot out of morbid curiosity, none of it looks loli to me, but there is what seems to be a woman getting mounted by a Literal Horse, so that's something 💀

Honestly, worst case scenario, if YouTube manages to completely eliminate adblockers, maybe by making some kind of cryptographic system where the browser has to provide a token embedded inside the ad video stream in order to access the video, I would still use an extension to mute sound and draw a black bar over the ads while technically playing them in the background, it's not the wait time that bothers me, it's how repetitive and obnoxious the ads are, I just don't want to perceive them.

I mean, the US sucks, but they don't just support settler colonial states for its own sake. They support Israel because it's strategically useful to have a US friendly state in the middle east that's small enough that they will basically do what we say (unlike Saudi Arabia). Also a significant portion of Republicans in congress think that Israel/Palestine being controlled by Jews is a necessary precondition for the Rapture. The US is more indifferent to the genocide of the Palestinians than anything, which imo is just as bad, but it's important to look at the material causes for things instead of just saying "these two countries have similar ideologies so they'll be allies".

There's definitely an element of that, but imo their recent embrace of WSL and linux tooling for development is just to try and expand their market share in the software development space. Very few devs develop on windows unless they're game devs, C# devs or working on something else that requires windows/Microsoft tooling, everyone else is on Linux and macOS because windows is bad for developing software.

It's basically an admission that their tooling is bad, but it's fine because you can just run linux development tools on windows now, so please don't switch to Linux fully

Multi-level marketing is a kind of pyramid scheme, they're only legal because existing anti-pyramid scheme laws only prohibit "businesses" that don't actually sell any products, and make all of their money through recruitment.

MLMs get around this by recruiting people to "sell" products, but recruits must pay for them in advance (almost always at a massive markup) and the products are typically so overpriced and/or poorly made that many of them go unsold.

So, almost all of the profit of those at the top of the pyramid comes from their downstream recruits recruiting more people to "sell" the product, even though product sales are completely unrelated to the success of the scheme as a whole.

I haven't had this happen using ublock origin, but if they do figure out how to block ublock origin, adnausiem (ublock origin fork) might work. It's a fork of ublock origin that tricks the ad providers into thinking you clicked on every ad, which not only bypasses a lot of adblock detectors, it Actively costs them money by polluting their ad data with garbage.
