Why at lower pay? I’d ask for more. The original employees already know the job, hiring and training someone new would cost way more.

Apt update and upgrade happen automatically.

Last manned moon landing.

That’s not the only point he is confused about, actually. And not only about the “why”.

That is still the standard way here. Automatic is something we still leave to those for who a gear is too complicated.

And if you look at the real, measurable data, most “normal” systems offer at least equal or even better specs.

HiFi is 110% hype. What they define as “smoother” or “more natural” sound is actually a quality loss.

It’s often based on “that’s how they sounded when I was young and heard my first record, and not as harsh and crude like they sound on a modern amp”. All while forgetting that their sound setup back then was cheap, crappy, and made a massacre of the sound waves on any point between record and speaker.

Obfuscation got more and more useless, as there was a serious pressure that AFAIK even tools popped up to specifically de-obfuscate Minecraft.

I think we are far beyond the point where a soft landing is possible. It will be a hard landing, and all we can do is to prepare for the impact.

Time to go to the farm shop and get a bottle from the vending machine!

Maybe it is time to make parents to understand the dangers of AI. They are worse than the perceived dangers from social media.

That is already a long standing recommendation for China and the US.

Also USA: “Why are no tourists coming any more?”

Yes, society has become that insensitive and dumb.

So the deal violated (admittedly questionable, but still valid) US laws? Make the companies pay dearly for this, so they’ll think not only twice, but a dozen times if ever asked again.

The “counting money” gesture? You still have to ask this?

Russia also has a long history of faking weapons to appear stronger than they are. Many of those either don’t exist or underperform in a massive way.

Run.

The Evangelicals in the US are a rather crazy, radical bunch in comparison to Roman Catholics here in Europe. And while Catholics here are more conservative than Protestants here, they are rather civilized. In many European countries the members of the Catholic are more liberal than the leadership in Rome, and there is a lot of stress between the common people and the leadership, mainly to open up as much as the Protestants already have.

“Short of breaking the law” - you are aware we are talking about Trump here. Adherence to the law is not among his strong points.

So what does this new change do then? Is it just about disclosing the state to the user?
