The very very few things I care to watch any more (and those almost entirely SBS and ABC) I can watch online. The other channels put together would be lucky to show anything I care about a few times a year. If they won’t stream it online I just don’t bother. If they won’t put on any stuff I care to watch, that’s their problem. My TV isn’t even plugged into an aerial any more, it’s only there to maybe use with the old games machines or maybe watch an old DVD

33 arty, wow. Still hitting logistics hard too, by the look.

Just need to get AI on that.

Among other issues that’s going to make it harder for them to do other stuff.

goes down with distance by an exponential factor
(1/x^3)

Umm… those two things are not equivalent. b^(-x) would be exponential, x^(-k) is inverse-power for whatever k

Its showing for me

It has been a pretty short trip from “Don’t be evil” to “The cutting edge of late stage capitalism”

took me a minute. Still waking up. The Bilbo Frodo age diff is 111-33, though so if this is Frodo at 50, Bilbo is older than 111 at the time of writing

Then delete and start over, or don’t use data you don’t have explicit permission to use. in the first place.

It’s like a thief saying “well, I already fenced most of the stuff so it’s too hard to give any of it back. So let’s just call it quits, eh?”

or bloody universal healthcare

I guess it depends on where you live. It’s not true of the whole world.

Waiting for 100% oral exams to make a comeback.

The headline’s confusing. If a losing bet is backfiring, does that mean it’s now a winning bet?

Well, I guess that’s another reason to be glad I neither have a facebook account nor any interest in yet another chatbot, especially not one from google.

heh, all of them (plus several others) were on my list of “never buy from them” list a decade ago. Never had any reason to reconsider

Well, that’s something I hadn’t seen before.

It’s not the word “lighter” that’s the issue, it’s the word “less”. If I say something weighs 80% less, … you know how much that is. 100% less, it weighs even less – nothing at all. 500% less (i.e. 5 times less), suddenly it weighs more?

I’ve been saying for about 15 years now – you’d have to be a masochist to buy HP printers. Why do people keep enabling these shits? You just encourage them to be even worse. Don’t stand for even a little of their bullshit and they will change or die. You make a noose for your own neck.
