15·11 days agoSycophantic, but also “lawsuit avoidant”.
I was released from the hospital following surgery last month and I had a bleeding “event”. I use the word “event” because it sounds more festive.
Shortly after that, I went to the bathroom, the bleeding seemed to have stopped.
Just for fun, I thought I’d ask ChatGPT what it thought, telling it the nature of the surgery, the bleeding event, the non-bleeding event, and asking it “So… best of three?”
And it went HARD on “this is not a best of three scenario! Call 9-1-1! Do it now! You could pass out! Call 9-1-1!”
I did not call 9-1-1. The bleeding did not resume, I’m fine.
And HAVE been…
Speaking as someone on the inside of this right now… Indian subcontractors + AI. They think it can be done cheaper that way.
Meanwhile our 2026 roadmap is blown up because they let go of everyone who actually knew anything. 🙄
If you’re buying any Apple product on specs, it’s not for you. 😉
As someone who had an iPod Touch and a Gen 1 iPad ganked by OS updates, I have serious doubts about that.
$599 here, but I also live in a state with no sales tax.
But that’s the 256GB version. 512 is $699.
Of course I have 24TB free on my NAS soooo…
Still not spending $600 on an Apple branded Chromebook.

Yeah, yeah, fanboys are going to go “A18 Pro” vs “AMD Ryzen™ 3 7320U with Radeon™ 610M”
But on the other hand, 15.6" display vs. 13", 120hz vs 60hz, 512gb storage standard vs 256. 65w charger vs. 20w.
Goose it to the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7520U with Radeon™ 610M and it’s still $570.
Prediction - eWaste in less than 2 years. It will only live through 1, maybe 2 OS updates.

We’re already on the edge of point to point communication without radio waves so within another 50-100 years nobody will detect us either.

We’re simply asking the wrong questions. Years ago I remember someone postulating the idea that if another civilization wanted to be found by another civilization, what they would do is find some interesting stellar object, and embed a signal in whatever radiation it was emitting.
So, another civilization would have to be a) capable of recognizing that object as interesting, b) have the capability and will to study it, and c) detect and separate a signal from the background.
The “You must be this tall to ride this ride” theory of interstellar communication.
I think what PRS is stating is that Valve needs a license for the music to even display the game in their store, which is utter nonsense.
They aren’t claiming the games are infringing, if that were the case with something like Forza, they would go after the game publisher.
It looks like they are trying to say Valve is infringing by having the games in their store.
One question:
"On your first computer, how did you open a program?
Load “*”,8,1 ✅
program.exe ✅
Double click the icon ✅
“Program? Is that like an app?” ❌
Wasn’t that also the name of a Microsoft Surface device? 🤔
Weird, I recently bought that same phone and did not have that problem. Why?
“Do you want to transfer your files from another device?”
No.
Just no. I don’t need your help, I can do this myself. Previous phone is backed up to my NAS, I can restore what I want from there.
I see a new phone as an opportunity to leave stuff behind. It’s on the NAS if I REALLY need it.
It’s definitely a shitty hardware thing.
“Now updating, please wait!”
I mean, technically not “down” but not exactly usable either. 😉
Fiber gear is a little different and I’d rather deal with this than the bullshit data caps and price hike games with Comcast. 😉
The dodgy WiFi gear from my fiber provider requires a hard re-set at least once a week. I had to do that just today.
And when your Internet goes down, you can’t even work locally.
Genius!
I’m sure CoPilot in the cloud already took that into account though and goes off on all sorts of tangents with the user disconnected.
What could possibly go wrong?
Youtube link so you can get to the transcript and such:
Sega hired a junk removal company to get rid of dev kits and cartridges as eWaste.
Instead, they sold it to the guy who got raided.
Sega accuses him of buying stolen material.
Normal post surgical stuff after, you know, getting gutted like a fish. 😉 Stage 2 colon cancer surgery.
