It really is a terrible business. I had a friend who went the United States once, tried it, and then had a psychotic break where he started thinking he was a male sheep.
He ultimately had to be sent to a farm upstate for treatment. Some place called the Ram Ranch.
Would it not make sense for them to? Since they make budget televisions, they have to subsidise the cost somehow.
Either that, or because they're so budget, you'd expect them to cheap out on the electronics and not bother with anything that sophisticated compared to a bare-minimum chip.
It's also pretty important infrastructure. Even before AI, one of the major providers datacentres going down would take out a solid chunk of modern internet.
They were also presented as being cheaper and more ethical. You didn't risk being roped into paying a higher price because the cabbie deliberately took a long route, or be surprised by the price being different in person. You could order an Uber, and you'd pay only what was in the app.
On a related note, I personally hate the AI partner/friend ones as well, where it's clearly preying on the lonely, insecure, or desperate. It's dastardly, dystopian, and frankly, quite sad. How many children's media show rich children as being quite miserable sods whose parents think that not having friendship can be resolved by buying their kids a friend?
You could easily see that being in a cyberpunk story, where you can rent a friend or partner from a megacorporation, but if you don't pay the rent, they'll be repossessed and deleted/destroyed. The data would be collected and used regardless.
I do wish that more games still had cheats. It does feel a bit like a lot of newer games have foregone them entirely. You can't type plane into GTA V, and have a plane materialise, like you could in Vice City, for example.
It doesn't help that a lot of it is simply so out of date now, that it's considered the norm now.
We don't exactly think all that much of Picard being bald, or Janeway being Captain of the Voyager. For us now, they're normal, ordinary things.
Whereas back in the day, it was an unusual choice. There were many jokes about it being natural the Voyager would get into a space accident on its first voyage, because Janeway was in command, for example.
I don't know if it was only a part. The world has moved on from the day, so a lot of what would have been in-your-face bleeding-edge progressivism back then no longer is.
The women could wear miniskirts. No-one was smoking. Uhura (African American) was not a maid or cook, but a well-respected competent peer, along with Chekhov (Soviet Russian), Sulu (Japanese), and McCoy (Caucasian American).
We may not think much of it now, and in the miniskirt case, think poorly of it, but back in the day, they were bleeding-edge social stances.
It might also be groundwork for more complicated things on their GPUs.
The article says nothing about nVidia actually planning to enter the desktop CPU market, only that a bunch of unrelated analysts compared the CPU performance, and said it was about equal to what's on the market.
Quite surprised that they are pushing that, seeing as one of the biggest obstacles for Windows 11 getting adopted was that a lot of the existing hardware didn't support the TPM requirements it put in place.
Doing it again so soon seems like a recipe to make people not want to use 12 at all. After all, Windows 11 works fine for them, why change so soon?
Probably to make mating easier, since they can protrude out on either side, rather than the snake having to reposition, or end up poking straight down into the dirt.
But genital shapes can be pretty weird in general. Just look at humans. Instead of a simple tube, they have a squishy plug thing on one end. They don't even have a baculum to keep it straight, they just use hydraulic pressure.
Right, but the volume was the issue. The cURL team could only work through and verify them so quickly, so the deluge of bug reports just made it impractical for them to dedicate time to sort through it. The idea in getting rid of the bug bounty being that there would be less of an incentive to generate and write a bogus bug report.
If it was just a small handful of fake security reports, they wouldn't have minded nearly as much.
