They did an attempt at VR

but it was a me-too attempt, almost a copycat of existing hardware… hardly innovative




Google Ads takes no responsibility for any damage that may result from these oversights

…and there it is, the root of the problem. If this kind of thing did any damage to Google’s bottom line, I doubt it would happen frequently




Very exciting stuff.

…NOT!

:)

EDIT: wow, no one got it? OP is named after a joke on Wayne’s World






If Microsoft cares so much about security

they don’t, this is all lip service


This could work, but it would be extremely wasteful. Instead of one cable serving dozens of cars per day you’d have dozens of cables, one for each car, used only once that same day


Andrej Karpathy endorses Apple Intelligence

Who is this guy and why his opinion should mean anything to me?

EDIT: nevermind, searched for it and its some guy who used to work at OpenAI.



I suddenly felt so old. My first computer had 8MB RAM… 486 DX2 66MHz


so much uncritical wishful thinking and optimism in a single article



as it returns 504 at the moment.






if you need to work for someone else, you’re not rich enough to flaunt laws that way and avoid jail


The drug dealer gives you the first baggie for free

Innovation is hard, so copying your proud rivais is the easiest way (sloth, anyone?) to accomplish that…

Wait, Slashdot isn’t dead yet?

it’s been undead for at least a good 12 years






Man we’ve lost something along the way. When did our jobs become purely a means of money and contributing nothing to society.

This mythic past where our jobs meant “more than money” and we “contributed to society” never existed anywhere




I’m sorry but this is something so american to say 🤭

“manifest destiny”, tons of propaganda, consumerism and utter bullshit from their upper classes have been ruining 'muricans brains for decades, that’s why the average joe spout that kind of shitty spiel acritically everywhere they go


And the profits of exporting manufactured goods was used for strategic industries and infrastructure, unlike most colonial and neo-colonial experiences

that’s because most colonial/neo-colonial experiences are about raw resources extrativism

where the profits are just pocketed by a national bourgeoisie.

there quite a few billionaires in China


Pluralistic: Apple fucked us on right to repair (again)
Right to repair has no cannier, more dedicated adversary than Apple, a company whose most innovative work is dreaming up new ways to sneakily sabotage electronics repair while claiming to be a caring environmental steward, a lie that covers up the mountains of e-waste that Apple dooms our descendants to wade through.
