Pre AI driven ram/nand increases: < $500 probably. Now, probably >= $1000.

“I can complain about Starlink raising their prices, but it’s the only genuine option we have,” former Nebraska state senator and Republican Julie Slama told the Washington Post last month. “Once they have rural customers on their service with no meaningful alternatives, they’re free to raise prices at will.”

Should we pull up the record and see who voted to allow that to happen in Nebraska while on the subject?

Bathroom water handling fee.

Hey, at least he went to the doctor and told the water industry rep what he was doing.

I agree with the thrust of this, but I have no faith in the resolve of the average consumer to make a difference.

This is a fight retailers lost along time ago, even if they don’t realize it. Even if it upsets some segment of the game buying population digital delivery and store fronts right on the console/PC are many orders of magnitude more convenient. And if the consumer loves one thing above cheap and flexible it is convenient.

It really does amaze me how so many people give him the time of day. I’m not sure his presence in any venture has been a net positive for them at the end of the day.

Every company he has ever touched succeeded at what they were doing despite his constant fuckery.

Probably not. The article says that most of it seems to have come from orphaned stuff in the AUR that the threat actors took ownership of via the legit process, then modified to pull down malicious NPM packages when someone went to install them.

So if your Discord package is well maintained you probably have nothing to worry about.

Good. But I would like to see it go further and have a provision that allows the doctor to pass that blame on to the place they work if using that AI is being forced on them.

Louis taking the financial hit for all of us. One of the few people that are “famous” I would buy a coffee if I were to see him on the street.

I am surprised it is actually a clone of something people have heard of. I was expecting something on the level of what you can get for $50 at Walmart.

Authoritarianism is the more efficient governing model.

It is far more beneficial and productive to society to dump more money and research into countering the negative health outcomes of eating terribly unhealthy food than it is to try and undo entire socioeconomic models and human habits that are geared to consuming the unhealthy things.

Some people are so stupid they should be chemically castrated. Depending on them to raise a future functioning human being will fail and ultimately will be a drain on the over all system.

Some people have done such horrible things beyond a shadow of a doubt that even death is too much of a mercy. They should be kept alive and tortured mentally and physically every day until they die of natural disease processes.

That is crazy talk. There would not be nearly enough shareholder value in such a system.

Well yeah, to them the Pope is a minor political figure whose opinion matters very little.

So you had her grow out the hair, you filmed it, and then decided not to include it in the film? Missed opportunity to start a new very specific fetish.

Takes a special kind of asshole to swat a little old lady for trying to host a wholesome gaming stream for a good cause.

People in general seem to have a hard time grasping the notion of just how much power we all have collectively. It is why so much time and marketing goes into promoting the idea of “the individual” being the most important thing in my opinion. The more people only consider themselves the less power they have to get what they want and need.

Finally, some good news. Now I can stop having to interact with my companies shitty outsourced service desk when I need a Bitlocker key.

You mean to tell me the con man scammed them out of their money? Shocking. /s

Seriously it would be more surprising if they did come out.
