Rigged. They won’t hand it out to some rando.

Terrific. But, I suppose it won’t happen at scale until it’s cheaper than mining.

Because money is everything, and our environment is replaceable. /s

The batteries don’t last forever, eventually, they need to be dealt with somehow.

I feel special, now.

Incontheivable!

I mean, they’re using AI for “polling” now so, why not?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-ion_battery

Sodium-ion battery development took place in the 1970s and early 1980s. However, by the 1990s, lithium-ion batteries had demonstrated more commercial promise, causing interest in sodium-ion batteries to decline.[16][17] In the early 2010s, sodium-ion batteries experienced a resurgence, driven largely by the increasing cost of lithium-ion battery raw materials.[16] Also, the number of patent families reached the number of non-patent publication after ca. 2020, which usually signify the fact that the technology reached the commercialization stage.

They put a blanket over burning car, and any occupants trapped inside because of doors that wouldn’t unlock and laminated side glass, to keep it from igniting things around it. They’ll also pull the burning car onto a flatbed truck to get it off the road, and take it to somewhere safer.

This is opposed to just dousing a gas car with water till it stops burning.

Any suggestions for which Kindle to get off of ebay for jailbreaking purposes, when they start showing up en masse?

Glad I got out when I did.

I’m happy with Linux Mint, and most Windows users would be too, methinks.

No. Not at all.

Who are these people that just go out and buy a car because gas prices went up? Does going into debt and paying interest on a loan make sense just to save a few bucks on gas?

I suppose I should be surprised that people WANT to give up their right to think for themselves. But, I’m not.

To address this gap, researchers ran an experiment during the final week of Japan’s February 8, 2026, general election. The experiment reveals a striking pattern: when asked which party to support in the election, five major AI models from three companies overwhelmingly directed voter profiles with left-leaning policy positions toward the Japanese Communist Party (JCP). The reason, according to the researchers, has to do with the information environment AI systems can access. … Furthermore, left-leaning policy views in voter profiles caused all five AI models to converge overwhelmingly on recommending the Japan Communist Party, even though other parties hold broadly similar positions on the issues tested. The concentration on recommending JCP under left-leaning policy stances is therefore not explained by ideological distinctiveness.

It’s weird how most people don’t seem to GAF about mercury in fish.

I thought Tesla was going to start building robots, instead of cars.

/somewhat sarcastically

It’s not a generational war, it’s a class war.

This has nothing to do with “boomers”.

When I built my current rig a few years back (when I still used Windows and Photoshop), I said, “RAM is cheap enough, and more is better, but don’t go overboard.”

That’s how I ended up with 64GB of RAM.

Looks like Luigi, assuming he did it, was a once in a lifetime. He was driven enough and smart enough to pull it off, and he attacked low-hanging fruit. Billionaires are surrounded by armed guards 24/7.

Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a disgruntled sniper back from Iran, assuming we get boots on the ground, and they’ll be able to pull it off.

Remember this is the BEST he can look. The hair color, the skin ointments and surgery, all of it. This is him at his best.

This guy was never a looker.

Also, the gloves are off for the filthy rich, we should attack them on every level, including calling them ugly. Never defend a monster.
