The date is still readable. If they are too young to read then it isn’t a matter of perspective, they just don’t know anything.

No. Everyone always focuses on the flashy stuff like datacenters but the truth is that the most vulnerable, overtaxed, and underfunded weak-spot for the United States is the electric grid.

Dad’s know a boy’s intentions AND how real the struggle is to fulfill said intentions.

Nintendo…not even pirated. I refuse to even contribute to their popularity given their litigiousness and patent bullshittery.

“I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren’t afraid to 💀💀”

Sarcasm and plausible deniability are your friends homies.

“It would be terrible and so very awful if ICE agent in Dallas came across 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts), and who aren’t afraid to 💀💀”

I probably wouldn’t put that out there either, but at least he could argue that he was being sincere in his concern.

You assume that it isn’t correct.

For those that don’t know, the US armed forces have moved back into an abandoned military base (Roosevelt Roads) in Puerto Rico. Apparently they have been moving a lot of equipment there. Expect an American escalation in the Carribean.

I liked their studio album, I am just noting that they are very good live. Better than studio.

They also quantized both John and George’s recordings with AI. Not as bad as actual generative AI but also contrary to what made the old recordings great.

I just did. They sound much better live.

Based on my listening history, YouTube has been nagging me to watch their KEXP live set all week even though I’d never heard of them. I guess it is time.

The last Beatles song is heavily touched by AI, long since the death of John and George.

Some “bootlegs” are licensed and sold in Amazon. Note the manufacturer.

“Bootleg”

And yet, nobody is talking about the ever expanding cultural influence of Larry Ellison.

Just look at the list of assets he currently owns. Add to that his recent purchase of TikTok and very likely purchase of Warner Bothers Discovery, and you have a sizeable chunk of the world’s media under the control of a singularly dangerous man.

I guess you do understand what the M chip is, which makes your comparison even more surprising. First, comparing a SoC to a GPU is wildly unfair. Second, you are severely underselling exactly how much more energy efficient an M chip is versus a CPU/GPU combo. My PC laptop with an i7 and a 4070 built in will run for about 20 minutes, maybe 30, under a full workload, all the while being hot enough to fry an egg and noisier than a jet engine. Even then, the performance will be trash and get worse as the temps rise. My MBP M3 Max will run a DAW sessions my PC could never dream of, with multiple plugins, on battery, silent, no heat, for a couple of hours without even the hint of a stutter.

All of that said, when it comes to price, Apple’s gonna Apple.

PS: I’m typing this on my phone while the idle i7/4070 laptop is fanning (again, fully idle) because it runs so hot. I might need to start traveling for work again and, if I do, I might need to switch to a MacBook Air for work on the road unless I can find an ultra-slim, powerful yet efficient, high resolution screen, Linux supported laptop. Simply because of the chip. We need an equivalent on the PC side.

I don’t think you quite grasp what an M chip is if you are comparing it to a 4070 Ti.

That’s so much! That should totally be enough to last you through Monday.

This is exactly the message messing with Greta was meant to convey. Look what we did and nobody will punish us for it. We will do much worse to you and nobody will care. They are behaving like 1930’s Nazis. Untouchable and unaccountable.
