Why do they need a patent for this? How would this not conflict with just tv remotes? Like it’s not a bad feature, but blocking anyone else from having a rewind button without paying them seems like an overstep for such a basic addition.

I am also in this picture, please get out of my picture

Someone quoting him on the internet like this would go against his whole philosophy

The article says it’s political in the title, but it sounds more like they can’t be bothered to actually do the work if it passes because the world is already on fire… And to be honest, I kinda get that… Imagine all the software that would still be taking it into account that would need updating.

Server farms are the real money maker. Doesn’t matter the fad, they’ll need processing power from somewhere.

Exactly, who would put a rebugged version into production anyway?

Yup, and they’re run on an estimated 8.5 million test machines

“Did you see that ludicrous display last night?”

Ironically this is probably the result of someone using ChatGPT to write their job listing

There’s something nostalgically comforting seeing comcast screwing people over with bundles again…

I kinda agree with it from an ease of printing perspective and easy perception from a distance, but they completely changed the proportions and got rid of the contrasting dark blue/red color-scheme that would catch people’s eyes. Looking at them side by side I’m still not convinced they’re even the same company, and that’s a failure for brand recognition in my mind which is the only reason logos even exist.

I petition to rename ChatGPT to DeepThought based on these results.

That’s the oldest joke in the book. Everybody knows you don’t need to unplug your computer, you can run “sudo reboot” from within vim just fine!

As a Google Workspace user, I recommend going off the grid somewhere streetview can’t find you…

No reason? Don’t squander perfectly good bleach. You know there are kids seeing in Africa?

They’ll write “you’re welcome” on your bathroom mirror when they track that you’re in the shower.

I added the word “reported” because I don’t trust VPN providers to not keep logs, but ideally they should report that they don’t keep logs and have an established history of not providing logs. Tor is really not ideal if you’re trying to download anything large and you’re still vulnerable depending on who controls the exit nodes.

I was trying to give general advice, since it didn’t sound like they had a trusted private tracker already it’s a good idea to have a VPN to mask your IP. I agree, it probably won’t help against malware.

Simple, trust no one. Get a no-reported-logs VPN, don’t download anything that has a strange file size or extension, look at comments, look at the number of seeders if it’s a torrent. If you can, join something like a private tracker where there’s moderation too. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s probably not the movie you were looking for and there might be a Trojan army inside waiting for you to let the duck enter your computer… That metaphor may have fallen apart on me…

I would normally put an if-statement before that to verify if IGNORANCE still equals BLISS
