Calling it now..

"YouTube will now count views only when an ad has been played in full".

Will come sooner than you think.

Ah yes, certainly easier and more convenient to boot into a live OS or hidden OS every time you need to mount a hidden volume (per VeraCrypt's recommended guideline), instead of just using the hardware from OPs post.

What a beautiful Anas platyrhynchos stallion.

Sold out and I can't seem to pre-order a pair for their next batch (maybe the next allotment is already sold out).

Oh well, my wallet wins this round.

she crashed her car and drank excessively as a teen, she says.

She gave both her children smartphones when they turned 11 and let her daughter start using Snapchat at the same age.

Yeah.. that tracks.

The simple fact is that we hairless apes were never meant to have the sum of all human knowledge and endless distractions available to us at all times.

We're inquisitive creatures and it's hard AF to put that phone down when dopamine loop at 1am.

Still reduces the cost drastically to society, the whole exploitative college middle-man charging $150k for a degree is gone because the government says "fuck you, degrees are $40k or you don't get govt places for your course", and lo and behold.. Suddenly the same courses are $40k.

Just like how the US healthcare advocates cry that "free healthcare is socialism that overburdens the taxpayer" - and yet in countries with socialised healthcare they pay 1/4 of what the US pays for the same health outcomes and usually even less for literally the exact same medicine from the same companies.

Collective bargaining.

I read your questions three times but I still can't tell what you're asking.

Tenor was always slow for me and had shit search.

I didn't know it was owned by Google, but now that I do it makes complete sense.

Lee said. "Semiconductors, physical AI, and AI data centres are the triple axis for a great leap forward."

Hmmmmm. I'd encourage a better choice of words for this massive government undertaking targeted at rural communities..

I wonder who will be the first CEO to start applying the "too big to fail" statement openly to their business.

I'm betting on OpenAI as they're the ones with the most to lose. They have already been courting govt in investment heavily, including asking them to back loans up to nearly a trillion earlier this month, and an equity stake.

Literally the "most valuable companies in the world" asking for daddy taxpayer to lend then their credit card.

Yeah guys, this is true for sure and we should all panic buy now. Because prices for computer hardware never come down over time.
