or prevent us from watching with a VPN enabled.

Man this one chaff’s me the most. I way a paying Netflix customer like 8 years ago. I had IPv6 setup as a 6rd tunnel through HE (Hurricane Electric) because my ISP didn’t offer IPv6. Netflix treated that as a VPN and blocked me as a paying customer… Even though I lived/payed from the same fucking locale. It’s not like I was using a VPN to bypass a Geoblock. I was just making IPv6 available to myself. I cancelled because of that. You do not get to tell me how I access the internet at large, especially when I’m not even being shady about it.

Reach out to youtubers. Someone like LGR might find value in doing an unboxing of it. A video can educate tons of people on it.

So then nothing related to NFTs at all but instead a specific application of a specific blockchain…

Creating the demand still gets you partial credit.

So why does nobody give Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, or any other EV manufacturer credit? Why does Tesla magically get all the credit from everyone when they didn’t really do all that much for quite a long time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_electric_vehicle

Read it carefully… Realize that Tesla didn’t start this. As much as I’m not a fan of “china” BYD started literally the same time as Tesla, and BYD is eating Tesla for lunch this whole time.

Tesla’s entire “credit” to the industry was marketing their shitty electric car to english markets. Which was literally inevitable. as they we’re being out competed for a long time by other manufacturers…

The world’s top-selling all-electric cars in 2014 were the Nissan Leaf (61,507), Tesla Model S (31,655), BMW i3 (16,052), and the Renault Zoe (11,323).

The other credit he deserves is for his raving lunatic filled fan-base.

Regarding rocketry, if it were that easy we’d have done it long ago.

He’s made no progress since what we’ve done long ago is my point. If you want to credit him with no progress and tons of ecological damage. Then fair game I’ll help you along. But to claim he’s done anything worthwhile at all here is absurd.

Edit:

The Tesla Model 3 surpassed the Nissan Leaf in early 2020 to become the world’s best selling electric car ever

And Tesla wasn’t even the majority in electric cars on the road until VERY recently. Unlike what most people say.

Battery technology was also pushed forward by this.

Tesla doesn’t make batteries… Panasonic and other providers do. I wouldn’t claim tesla to be any part of this any more than every other industry that requires batteries and buys them from those same providers.

I do give him credit for spurring advances in re-useable rocketry.

I wouldn’t. He’s shown virtually 0% success.

Does it matter?

Elon sold the vast majority of his stock in tesla before. He’ll do it again. To him it is literally liquid cash and he will treat it like so.

So I’m going to say it again. This will literally kill tesla.

It’s more money than the total amount of profit the company has EVER made across ALL years it’s been operating combined.

The company CANNOT liquidate all that money without literally killing itself. Tesla is walking dead.

Conclusions: Although we are generally concerned that drivers of small vehicles suffer more severe injuries, our results suggest that, for real-world accidents, K-cars provide similar safety for drivers involved in frontal collisions as standard vehicles in low delta V impact conditions.

Nothing. It never happened. This guy is the kind of person that hates every successful YouTuber even to go do far as lie about random shit to further the hate. If you google “Bosch technology connections” nothing comes up. If you watch the videos and check the comments there’s references to manuals… but never any company reaching it directly.

Correct. Which the court set a precedent for during that court case.

You claimed that no precedent was set. That’s incorrect.

The monkey selfie case did not set any kind of precedence.

literally next sentence.

Animals cannot own property, including copyrights.

This sounds like a precedent…

Because “anonymous” isn’t necessarily a person who can answer for copyright. They literally gave you a use case where it could help in the content you’re arguing against…

Buy an old Samsung S7?

Edit: Ah fuck. It’s the note 7 and I fucked up.

Fortunately, apple and google corporate policy != law. If a company buys a device… and let’s an employee use it. There’s no amount of rules or policy that makes it the employee’s property. It’s company property. If you want to claim it’s employee property then you’d at the very least be lying to the IRS as it would be considered a form of payment.

The real unfortunate part is that Apple or Google will never be incentivized to fix it because in this case you as the employee would be on the hook for “theft”/bricking of the device.

Eh, for a while google news was a bake-in app. I’m okay excluding those figures.

How much are you willing to bet this wont happen with Canonical’s Ubuntu?

Doesn’t matter? Just use Debian… Or Mint. Or just uninstall the search bar.

Copilot is creating metadata from images that could be used in “AI” applications. Cortana is just an “assistant” It’s nowhere near “AI” status and Microsoft “AI” (actually LLM) product is not specifically named like Google Bard, or OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but is integrated into Copilot and Bing (not Cortana specifically).

If you want to call an LLM “AI”… cool, none of that is in Cortana anyway. And Cortana is actually been outright killed at this point IIRC… although I don’t follow it that deeply.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortana_(virtual_assistant)
Nothing from 2009 is going to have 2022 technology in it.

On August 11, 2023, Microsoft updated the Cortana app in Windows, announcing it was deprecated and can no longer be used.

Hey it only took til 2024 to get it on the roadmap! Hopefully complete by . . . 202. . . 7?

By end of year outside of a handful of systems that are critical and cannot be replaced (My last count was literally a dozen). I spent a good chunk of last year ripping vmware and windows out of a lot of systems. I got halted this year because of SOC2 audits though… Gotta get back on the kill M$ train.

(Yay proxmox and whatever flavor of linux was easiest to support for a function [typically debian, sometimes alpine])

I work in healthcare IT. EHR clients […] run only on Windows.

OpenEMR doesn’t. I also do some work in healthcare too for a small office. (Though admittedly not a lot at all). Paying a license (for support) to an opensource works for my client. It’s opensource so I know it’s not going away… and openemr is completely browser based as far as client goes.

Getting locked into these bullshit softwares is half the battle though when it comes to corporate shenanigans.

Edit:

I, optimistically, think this is a moot point for businesses. The goal is to get consumer data to sell not lose business purchases.

I dunno… Some of this shit is leaking into the business/server side. More and more stuff appears that nobody asked for.
