The RIAA vs the AI industry... Can they both lose?

This toggle allows you to opt out of having profiling used for future decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

The what now?

This sounds strangely ominous.

It's a shame this isn't working out, I was really hoping it would turn out to be a better way of doing self-checkouts.

The little convenience store on my way to work is nice, but I guess it falls apart in a larger store situation.

I have nothing against advertising in general, but I won't tolerate OS-level advertising and I don't want ad-subsidized hardware.

He's also been regularly compromised by sketchy backdoors placed by the manufacturer in his firmware and remote code execution exploits.

But to be fair, anybody on the bridge who knows how to work the consoles could kill everyone aboard if they wanted.

Democratic Gov Tim Walz, who vetoed a bill last year that would have boosted pay for Uber and Lyft drivers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was concerned because so many depend on those services, including disabled people.

I get the sentiment, but relying on private for-profit companies to provide basic transportation services in a city is stupid. That's how Minneapolis got in this situation.

It's really hard for me to feel sorry for any of the parties involved so the ethics feel weird.

I guess the law firm saved the shareholders from being fleeced and they want their cut. It's obscene, but still a small fraction of what Elon would've walked off with.

I'm pretty sure the Ukrainians will cease firing once the Russians leave their country and stop trying to murder them.

Oh, I very much doubt that he's the only billionaire who's written a letter like this to Google in the past year.

It makes some sense for business & enterprise stuff, but not for household/consumer computers & devices. That's just rent-seeking and forced obsolescence. There is no good reason a home computer from the past fifteen years should have security patches withheld because the manufacturers want people to throw them away and buy and brand new ones.

Honestly, a bit of both. It probably gets more hate than it deserves but there's a lot of pointless change just for the sake of changing things. It's better than Win10 on a Surface, touch screen and pen support have improved. But beyond that, I don't really see a reason to jump to it until they force the issue by ending support for 10.
