SMS is being phased out as quickly as possible.

Are they supporting RCS?

It's not worth buying a new device today without RCS.

I have a 4G flip phone that can be a wifi hotspot which is pretty cool so you can have an Android without a cellular modem.

No RCS though.

The eink is better for your eyes, though.

An anonymous Wikipedian tried to delete Harald Malgram's page as "not notable" when he is credited as being the primary guy who prevented a nuclear WWIII in the 60's.

As well as being a key mover in the government for decades and the youngest member of the NSC ever.

All because he said he handled UFO materials a few weeks before he died.

Jimmy put his foot down but an awful lot of revisionism comes from Langley IP's.

I use my own name there and don't feel a need to hide. It's a source of truth only if the organizers are trustworthy.

Apparently this rouge editor has made 60K edits. Who is he or she (or autonomous agent)?

... we ensure the welfare of working families so they don't have to compete in their power bill with AI for the electricity generated and distributed by the infrastructure systems they and their ancestors built.

Then we can start to think about the machines' feelings.

If they had a design patent it would have expired in 2006.

This seems to be a case of hypocrisy, not criminal infringement.

It's not clear that Apple members have a strong upper limit on what they will spend.

Skipping a model isn't an option for a great many of them and the flagship prices have trippled since introduction.

The "free phone with plan" telcos might be priced out, though.

Apple sharing its revenue with USG under DJT might well be a hard stop, though.

I can't even keep track of whether Apple is an Irish corporation or a Chinese corporation these days but directly paying a tax in these United States seems like something they can't permit.

Aside from the NSA backdoor in their GPU silicon as described by Kaspersky.

> But which drive is it physically?

My high-tech solution is a piece of label tape on the carrier or door with the last four digits of the serial number of the drive.

Hasn't crashed on me for over a decade.

Zorin's focus is that transition from Windows. They have the tightest WINE/Vulkan integration.

I don't know what LM Studio is.

They also ditched Firefox for Brave over privacy concerns.

NSA Whistleblower Tom Drake said the spooks bought up all 10,000 copies of his book and insisted he redact the claim that 9/11 Commission Director Phil Zelikow was briefed on hijackers being on Saudi/CIA payroll (reportedly independently confirmed) before reprinting.

You've got to have north of $14.99 Million to have F-U money in the US.

Corrupt courts understand "the process is the punishment" and cheer on their fellow lawyers.

Software liability (corporate) would be good for domestic careers (corporate).

It might be an overall bad idea but on this narrow aspect they'd stop outsourcing to lowest-bidders in overseas sweatshops.

At the height of AI mania people were selling $AAPL because they had "no clear AI strategy".

At the same time they probably don't want to release something that will be mocked for its errors.

So they preannounced to save their market reputation but now suffer user reputation.

But Tim Apple's job is only to make the users happy to the extent that it makes the shareholders happy.

In his position (which I have assiduously avoided) I would probably do the same thing.

He is being pressed to release technology that doesn't exist yet.

In the 90's Windows and Office needed to be broken up so the DoJ decided that unbunding Internet Explorer was "good enough".

Today Google and YouTube need to not depend on and tie each other so they're making Google spin off Chrome. And this is after the Covid debacle killed millions because YouTube censored origins, prevention, and treatment.

Killed millions.

Don't fall for the same trick twice.

Agreed - I haven't seen the film but I saw the play at the Wintergarden Theater in the 80's.

It was mostly spectacle in the theatrical sense. Not much energy or emotion.

Definitely a 70's vibe. Mama Mia would be in the same category. Discrete songs with little connective tissue.

Les Mis pulled off both spectacle and a good story with a score with a through-line. But that came later and everything evolves including theatre.

Even so ALW scores are very popular, though they bore me to sleep.

I can't imagine spending any mental energy hating a film. What's the value?

Go see a better film with that time. Or go for a walk in nature.

What's worse is the Courts force them to behave sociopathically.

If they don't the Courts will allow "shareholder" lawsuits claiming they didn't maximize profits.

The case that cost Musk his ~$50B pay package was brought by someone with an extremely small number of shares.

What CEO will risk that to help out some folks playing games on older hardware?

It would be better to buy a graphics card from a privately-held company should one exist.

You need cholesterol to build sex hormones and maintain neurons.

Of the LDL 1 of 4 main types can get stuck in inflamed endothelial intima of the blood vessels which are swolen by triglycerides which are caused by rapid simple carbs.

Did InBev fund this study?
