Why would two people as high ranking in their respective “companies” need to talk to discuss something as technical as avoiding LEO collisions? Like how much does either really know about their current constellation configuration? Those are operational level concerns, not CEO/Country Leader level conversations.
While i don’t disagree, large corporations have been large Linux contributors for quite a while now. FOSS means some oversight, but i worry some “control” could slip in there in ways people don’t notice.
I have had to purchase or aid in purchasing laptops for my family and extended family (being the tech go to) for years. For at least the last 15, even entry level laptops have had touchscreens. I feel like they throw it in as a cheap-ish “feature” to make it seem more premium.
I definitely am a fan of NOT having a touchscreen. It was one of the pluses of the Macs, IMHO. When my parents or kids accidentally tap the screen pointing something on their touchscreen ThinkPad, it tends to screw things up and cause me to have to fix things for them.
I am also really worried they’re going to start making things “touch friendly” now… And we’re going to end up with the MacOS equivalent of Windows 8.
As a kid that grew up on Koolaid and Sweet Tea and pixie sticks and rarely drank just ice water and now rarely has any of those sugar drinks and all water all the time… I really don’t think so. But I also don’t know how I don’t have diabetes at this point.
First it was RTO, then AI. Wonder what cool way we’ll have next to not call them firings.
Username does NOT check out.
You’re right, but no one’s going to run those servers forever. If Nintendo goes under, all that’s for naught. If they decide the Wii or 3DS is no longer supported, we’re all SOL. Meanwhile, Cartridges still work. Games that don’t need to trigger a license check and have everything they need on the disc, will continue to work forever. That is the future we all want.
I got a physical copy of Skyrim at launch. Plunked it in my PC and the first thing I had to do was sign up for Steam, attach it there and download the game. I didn’t have a Steam account at that point… not sure what the disc is acutely for.
Thankfully I’ve had my cootie shot.
I’m sorry, you’re going to have to narrow down which Billionaire you’re referring to…
I’m not optimistic under the current administration.
That is what I like to call “a gross understatement”.
Right-wing political group Americans for Prosperity, backed by oil and gas billionaire Charles Koch, sees data centers as part of a larger pro-fossil fuel agenda.
Just what we need!
And the money goes to the states … not the people whose data was sold illegally. As per usual.
