Your life, physical and then professional were both threatened. The things you mentioned aren’t little oopsies. These are well beyond normal. You describe being assaulted and abused. Those aren’t suck it up and learn situations. That isn’t a regular kind of problem. You should seek trauma counseling.

This experience predates the AI fad.

no and it’s ALL googles fault. It’s not a walled garden problem, It’s a google problem. I’m searching for specific items to buy and look for small shops with online presences. Google will NOT give me results for shops that don’t advertise with them. I can even type the name of the shop into the search. Sometimes Bing, sometimes duck duck go will give the results.

I can have the site open in one window and use another to type the description of an item I am looking at AND the name of the site I am searching on google and it’s like ‘Nope’ never heard of them. i have to type the url in to the search bar then it will return a link.

Now sponsored links pop up a plenty.

We are the product being sold to advertisers. Search is working as intended.

I’m considering it. Will certainly downgrade the service and let them know why. I normally don’t care as much as others but I see the 2024 election as a big thing and I don’t want to support services the directly finance insurrectionist communications.

That seems like an odd thing to state. There are lots of wired headphones and ear buds of all prices and styles. Are you only looking in store or also online?

The article explains the details. Just like you said. Shot in the head.

I mean yeah. She was getting all sorts of attention that they didn’t want. Handing her back would create a version of her side of the story. She was all negatives from the press standpoint so they quietly killed her.

“Am I just in a weird bubble where 95% of the people in my life are politically and philosophically dipshits?”

Yes. You are absolutely in the wrong places talking to the wrong people. It sounds like it is rubbing off on you.

$8 buys a container of instant coffee and a single cappuccino is $6.

I’d love Starbucks everyday.I drink instant coffee, because money.

Sort of like asking with restaurants around everywhere does anyone bother to cook. It’s awesome but cup noodles will hit the spot as well.

Yes.

He paid 44bln and hasn’t even changed twitter.com yet. Don’t expect him to pay up.

No one liked it. But I only watched it because of all the memes.

Like there had to be something at least worth making fun of. Nope. It just kinda sucked till I turned it off.

Morbius It wasn’t bad enough to finish or good enough to enjoy. Never said it was Morbin time. It had Dr. Who so there was that.

Looks like someone found the secret to Coors light

It should be a long while before a whole industry transfer. There isn’t a whole lot of advantage for things like lights to switch over. This will likely happen first in very expensive vehicles where dropping a few hundred for a bulb is just how people roll. It’s also going to be EV only since hybrid and ice cars will carry a 12v system.

I can see that 48v head and tail lights would cause a problem. It makes sense to start that on a vehicle that won’t see high volumes, since there wouldn’t be many needed.

So here is some information on where the 48v standard is coming from. https://www.microcontrollertips.com/what-is-the-ideal-ethernet-choice-for-automotive-applications-faq/

it’s new to Tesla but not automotive.

48v is in automotive as well. Most of the cable manufacturers are using PoE Ethernet. Belden has product lines devoted to this. It vastly simplifies wiring all the systems of a car together.

If you Mace someone you had better take them down. Without distance the mace may be a danger to you as much or more than the attacker.

It’s a total lack of the concept of scale. I’ve moved servers like this, but when decommissioning them. Things are different when running a corporate data center than when moving a home lab. He doesn’t grasp the difference, because he doesn’t understand the scale.

Running and moving one computer is different from 150k of them. Hooking them back up the the network without a plan or documentation must have been a challenge.
