It’s a nice thought but they referenced land mines. The idea that an AI shooting a soldier could cause a conflict spiral could happen with a land mine. Not to mention humans make mistakes too. A human soldier could the same (and has). Automated sentry guns have already been around for over 10 years.

These posts make no sense. You don’t need withholding. You tell your employer and that’s it, the employer doesn’t withhold. The IRS doesn’t get involved at all.

You still need to pay taxes. If you owe a lot you may owe a penalty because you weren’t paying a little with every paycheck.

Back when interest rates were high on bank accounts, I never did withholding. It paid to keep your money in the bank earning interest and pay quarterly taxes to avoid the penalty. Years later I had an accountant show me that I shouldn’t even pay federal quarterly because the average money earned in the stock market was higher than the penalty for underpayment.

It’s impossible to specifically target Facebook and Snapchat without also affecting Lemmy and YouTube comments.

They’re all social media with minor UI differences.

That’s not unpopular, it’s wrong. Movies are criticized when the characters are one dimensional and lack moral nuance.

They stopped that years ago. I refused to buy one until it worked without Facebook.

What if my mental problems come from fighting Windows?

Yes but that could be added in a W10 update just like they’ve already done with previous W10 updates.

They’ve been adding spyware and ads into W10 so it’s not the money. They could easily add all W11 ads/spyware into 10 with an update. Older CPUs have several hardware vulnerabilities unrelated to the TPU required by W11.

IMO, they should add a startup message listing the hardware vulnerabilities of the installed CPU and leave it up to the customer.

Doubt. I would expect Apples to have been more like crab apples which are very bitter. Raw potatoes are neutral.

I had a science book as a kids which had sensory experiments. You get a potato slice and apple slice, hold your nose and try both.

They taste the same if you can’t smell.

He specifically mentioned AI videos.

When he said go see real life he didn’t mean YouTube.

No. https://secureyourtrademark.com/can-you-trademark/trademark-a-song/#:~:text=No%2C you cannot trademark a,rather than the material itself.

I’m hardcore atheist and have never thought of Gifted as having any religious connotation. A genetic gift doesn’t imply a creator. Gift means you received something with the connotation that it was unearned.

Yes, they asked, “Supreme Court?” But I clarified that is not what I meant by next level.

I meant escalate the number of people being disconnected starting with the court that made the ruling. Or perhaps the judge wants that so as to force ISPs to be declared as utilities.

ISP’s want it both ways. They want the protection of utilities without the regulations.

I was referring to the courthouse where the ruling took place.

This needs to go to the next level. Do some torrenting off of the public wifi at the courthouse and get the courthouse’s internet terminated.

Google bought YouTube before there were ads. The ads were always Google’s own ads from their own domains so Pihole could never block them.

Then, let’s be very surprised

They’re not the least bit surprised. They did the math. The profit is more than the penalty.

??? Pihole never blocked YouTube ads.
