In Australia, wheeling out the ‘high speed rail’ proposal means there is an election coming up…

I don’t think the last Mission Impossible movie even made its money back… maybe they should stop humping the AI bandwagon.

is there some secret that he is an arsehole… there was even a movie about it

The news says industrial action and extensive delays, I think it might be pretty accurate

Imagine a successful company like Google that just covered costs rather than looking under every rock for profits

it is always about the grift

The pessimist in me feels Microsoft need people to buy the new devices with the shiny new co-pilot button more than ever… gotta recoup the hundreds of billions sunk into OpenAI

About 18 months ago, there was a big uproar from sheep farmers that the price they were getting for lamb was a fraction of what Coles were selling it for. At that time Coles reduced the price of a leg of lamb to $8 a kilo and this has slowly crept back up to $15 a kilo as of last week. At the end of the day, Coles could have left the price as is and paid the farmers more, but nope, they did a short term price reduction which didn’t help them one bit…

My work has already blocked it, but has no problems using AI hosted by a country whose leader is a convicted criminal with close ties to Russia and North Korea

End of the day, the insurance industry will just evolve and add more restrictions… I can’t see them just going ‘oh well, no-one left to insure, our job is done here’

Logitech had a solar keyboard (K750R) and we used them heavily at work as they were amazing to type on… we had thousands of them. We also had dark rooms and they wouldn’t get enough charge to stay charged forever. They also used a weird rechargeable battery the same as a CR2032 which is incredibly hard to come by

Yeah, a family member of mine was in a cult lead by a person who had everyone believing they were a reincarnated sun god… and there were invisible planets travelling through the solar system on a collision course with earth, and aliens… aliens living under the ocean near Japan, and they were thinking of taking over the world in response to Fukushima… I lost touch with her when she was grabbing shovels and heading to the hills to live in a region that had been calculated as ‘too far for the non-believers to make it following a tsunami’…

Just take the your copy of the original movie DVD and say you already own a license for it and demand to be let in for free

When everyone else is the asshole, maybe you’re the asshole
