Investing billions
Weren’t the headlines a week or two ago about Microsoft trying to get taxpayer funded aid for reopening 3-mile Island? Companies shouldn’t be asking for taxpayer funded handouts when they are basically printing money at this point.
Isn’t Microsoft Copilot just ChatGPT?
People on the opposite side of that tolerance spectrum look at us avid ad avoiders like we put in too much effort to do that, so I see it as two sides of the same coin. I started blocking/avoiding ads due to the nuisance, long before privacy and security became even more prevalent attack vectors through advertising. That was just a benefit to the time saved by blocking ads, but not it’s a primary use case.
Unlikely all 4 though. Give people 1-2 they can map services two, instead of multiple wasted (branded) buttons.
I’m like 80% sure they were being sarcastic in that comment. I hope so anyways.
If you don’t pay for something, you are not a customer, you are the product. If you pay for Youtube, you don’t see the ads, but you are also still their product. Lose /Lose
Is there really anybody who thinks they would like that?
Auto companies don’t care what people like, only what level of BS people would put up with before going to a different brand.
This is straight up atrocious, but Russia has been using white phosphorus during this war. No side is pristine in this conflict. War is awful, period. One thing it has shown is that Ukraine has become expert in using commodity hardware to rain death on their enemy.
If your business can’t survive without theft, it isn’t a business, it’s a criminal organization.
So if I read that correctly, Apple wants a cut from Patreon’s iOS app, not all Patreon creetors that have iOS apps. People still have the option of contributing to Patreon directly via their website, or even their mobile website.
You’re not wrong, but you can bootstrap that request, too. It makes it more complicated, but I know NextDNS has taken steps to prevent that type of hijack with their mobile apps.
Spent $350 on a single cart of groceries today, nearly lost my mind at how bad it’s gotten.
Cries in USA, paying $230/mWh. At least solar effectively zeroes out my usage via net metering, in the warmer months.
It’s funny. Security folks say how insecure Windows XP is, and how it becomes compromised within seconds/minutes of having an internet connection. It’s like Microsoft took that as a playbook challenge to repeat as an OOTB feature, instead of waiting for malware to do it.
Teams is doing the same thing. I can’t go anywhere close to anything Microsoft without some Copilot I didn’t ask for getting jammed in.
The more popular ad blocking gets, the more I worry about the ad industry lobbying to criminalize blocking ads as “theft of revenue” or some insane concept along that line.
I was referring to services like Apple Pay
“AI” is the new “cloud”
Until you get hit by a card skimmer. Encrypted NFC is safer than a physical card.
The US is the primary military force protecting Taiwan, by treaty. That’s likely why.
