On the other hand, a few well-connected people would miss out on sizeable profits, so who’s to say which option is better?

“A new life awaits you in New Taipei”

It’ll be longer. AI will be there to accelerate the cadence, turning “knowledge workers” from artisans who have the relative luxury of solving problems autonomously at their workstations intro assembly-line labour who hurriedly sling prompts and patch up botshit.

Government blogs and podcast-style data feeds

We need to turn the entire world into paperclips GPUs

If you, consciously or otherwise, got your gun as a penis substitute, that’s probably a plus.

Masturbating their hindbrain to feel something

But can it use Winamp skins?

Well, one’s vital statistics would include things like heart rate and blood pressure, so the name is presumably a reference to his strained demeanour.

Or Xi Jinping about Winnie the Pooh.

I suspect the Frame, with its x86 to ARM recompilation layer, is a trial balloon for higher-performance ARM hardware in more traditional form factors. More concisely, the Steam Deck 2, when it appears, will be a high-performance ARM device, with similar performance/efficiency characteristics to Apple Silicon MacBooks rather than phones/tablets. Of course, this depends on a vendor producing suitable CPUs.

X11 was nifty, but limited by low ambitions. Its client/server model was simple: the application ran entirely on the UNIX host, and the terminal was just a dumb graphical display device: drawing commands went one way, and key/mouse events the other way. If only Sun had seen fit to open up NeWS, we could have ended up with apps’ UI layer running on the terminal, handling events and showing the interface, and the communication down the bottleneck between your terminal and the big UNIX machine running the business logic of the app being more structured (like, say, view-model objects and business-logic events). Of course, you’d have to write your UI code in PostScript, at least until someone invented Lua or something.

The problem is that GPS signals are weak, and generally need a line of sight to the sky. Phones don’t rely on GPS alone, but also get location data by triangulating base stations and/or querying databases of WiFi SSIDs over the internet. And AirTags don’t contain either a GPS receiver or an internet connection: they’re just simple, low-power Bluetooth beacons which send an encrypted ID to any nearby iPhones, which add their locations and forward it to Apple.

Basically, all the smarts are in Apple’s infrastructure (including the numerous privately-owned devices running Apple’s location services). Replicating this without a network of roving receivers is a nonstarter.

“takes a massive hit of ketamine and says”

Her congressional uniform, with sponsors’ patches, will be donated to the Smithsonian to form part of its permanent collection.

So, basically, Romantic Satanism, only for superhero comics?

“Would Madam care for the salmon?” — me to my cat

And do a We Are The World-style charity single, only it’s groovy Ethiopian jazz-funk.

If she accessed Instagram from the same home network (and IP address) as her main phone, the zuckerbots inferred that the two users were probably in the same household and knew each other/had similar interests.

You can have those in the fediverse on Pixelfed and Mastodon. The problem is that then the people you can follow are only middle-aged Linux/Star Trek nerds and the occasional organic farmer.
