If anything in the stupid rumour-mill that is modern mainstream news can be true, can it please be that this AI bubble bursts in spectacular .COM style

It was first released in North America, parts of Europe, Australia, and South America in November 2013

Unfortunately so, welcome to getting old

Not to be facious, but in simply asking this question you’re already beyond the scope of the people most GUI tools are designed for (I.e. novices who either don’t need this tool often enough to learn the CLI, or don’t need the advanced features you’d get from doing so).

I agree on CLI text editors. I get why they exist, but for most users they should be a last resort, not the primary instruction.

Instead of telling people to use Nano, just tell people to edit the .conf in a text editor and let them choose!

Many users won’t understand that what they’re being told to do with Nano is literally just edit a text document with a funky file extension, and that they don’t actually have to that it in CLI (in-fact it might even be easier not to if you’re not familiar with them).

I’d be careful doing that. He might go there thinking its the new place to meet Redacted people

With how redacted the files have been so far they hardly need releasing. Would be more effective and informational to tell people to close their eyes and imagine what the Epstein files look like.

… Unless someone else at the DOJ feels like botching up some digital redactions again. Would be nice.

Honestly, I think consumers allowing manufacturers to start integrating screens into cars was a mistake.

Knobs and dials are way easier to nevigate blind (whilst focusing on the road like we’re meant to), and none of that stops you plugging in your own third party device for other features, or replacing the headboard yourself.

Giant tablets with complex menus are dangerous to drivers, and only serve to milk the consumer for things they already had access to in their car as standard not 10 years ago.

The NHS is chronically underfunded, because every successive UK government is determined to make the NHS do more with less - and at some point something has to give, which is why service declines every winter despite it being the same story every year, because the money isn’t there to prevent it

For now… I fear the day a competent Government tries its hand at the corruption game.

I’m worried how many people answered the odd numbers for an equation where it is only possible to end up with an even numbered answer.

Valve could’ve legitimately done nothing and still be winning in comparison to the big three, but instead they’ve slowly and steadily been helping the gaming community to give Windows the middle finger by making huge contributions to Linux gaming.

Honestly, its downright shameful how many companies have forgotten that a good way to make money from customers is simply to treat them nicely while they’re buying your goods.

Edit: Changed basically the whole comment, as you’re right. I looked at the Blog, and it does state in his FAQ that he had a backup. Which frankly makes a significant part of the article completely BS - as it makes multiple heavy implications that he didn’t have any backup.

This apparently happened with “no explanation and no recourse,” putting “terabytes of family photos” and their entire message history out of reach, as well as preventing the ability to sync work across devices.

He has copies elsewhere, so why would he be worried about losing access to this data.

Also, the end of the article discusses not storing all your data in one place…

If you store your photos and files in a single place, it’s a good idea to back them up to multiple locations to protect against something going wrong. But with how integrated devices are these days, it’s hard to avoid having all your apps, purchases and media within a single ecosystem. In cases like that, there’s not a lot you can do.

So it wouldn’t be wrong of most people to walk away from this article with the assumption that he didn’t have a proper backup strategy.

Everyone always learns the hard way, just the same as I did - one copy is usually as good as no copies at all.

For data you can’t afford to lose, the 3-2-1 rule is king. Original, cold local, and remote.

To be fair to Air Canada here, the compensation is just that, compensation. It isn’t meant to help you replace all your belongings, that’s what your travel insurance is for.

But even if it was meant for that, I struggle to believe that Tannous genuinely brought $3,500 worth of luggage with him that all needed like-for-like replacement with luxury goods.

I’m all for getting your money’s worth, but ripping off a system meant to help people does nothing good for anybody

All I can do is pray that my current RAM survives long enough for this stupid AI bubble to burst, like with the Crypto-Bro GPUs.

But it is kind of horrifying how easily consumers have been priced out of the RAM market - at least for newer stuff anyways

The only reason most non-Boomers I know even have a Facebook account nowadays is using Messenger (though I do wish they’d move to something else)

Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don’t think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.

If one screen or fold point breaks, you’re now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.

Damn. I didn’t realise these AI tech-bros were moon-lighting in necromancy nowadays.

But seriously though, that is ghastly. Let the memory of the dead rest in peace you money-hungry ghouls.

Good grief… You need only look back less than 20 years ago to the 2008 housing bubble, or 25 years ago to the early 2000’s .com bubble to see that AI has all the same hallmarks.

There’s far too much money going in, and not enough money going out.

I just hope that people’s retirement funds don’t end up in the fallout.

This whole screenshot is basically one state’s propaganda machine vs. another.

Just because the Chinese propaganda machine is acting the straight man in this particular interaction, doesn’t mean they don’t have skeletons in their own closet
