To be fair, any modern truck built for the US market will kill you on the spot, usually by squishing you like a bug against the grill. A Cybertruck is low enough that it will probably just chop off your legs, so you probably still die, but you can have a half open casket! 🎉

Fair, I was thinking in the context of Stack Overflow.

Why not skip the middle man and ask ChatGPT directly?

You probably mean Comic Chat. It was actually just an IRC client, and I think it’s still usable (but frustratingly ineffective) today. But there is a website where you can convert IRC logs to it, I think.

Russians kept using it, just like Brazilians kept Orkut alive for years.

They were acquired recently.

Mirabilis created ICQ. AOL bought Mirabilis in 1998. Russian investor DST (which soon became Mail.ru and later VK) bought ICQ from AOL in 2010, probably because Russians were among the few nationalities still using it. Russians were over 25% of the hits, and it was the biggest instant messenger in Russia at the time. They also own VKontakte, hence why they’re directing people there.

Yeah, that was my assumption as well. I wonder how they’re going to work around that SO is getting spammed with AI-generated answers, though. You really don’t want your LLM cannibalizing itself.

Eh, tech companies also push out shitty stuff, and sometimes the shitty stuff is hardware.

Yeah, and their latest release was 5 months ago, so they’re probably still a thing.

Debian Edu has existed for over a decade, originally as a Norwegian distro called Skolelinux (“school Linux”). I’m not sure how they differ from regular Debian at this point, but a big part of the original project was high quality translations.

I fully expect this to get backtracked almost immediately. From my experience most government employees can barely handle a browser upgrade with a UI change, and they will 100% throw a collective fit if their Word and/or Outlook goes away.

Washers usually give better estimates than dryers. How long something takes to dry depends on the material used. The washer doesn’t care about anything but weight.

YubiKeys have almost every imaginable form factor these days. Here’s the USB-C version without NFC:

They’re talking about operationally. They don’t want to configure and distribute a bajillion dongles to users.

Pretty sure it’s always been upfront with that it still tracks you? I always thought of it as a “don’t store history and cookies locally” thing and nothing more. Maybe I read that disclaimer with more cynicism than most?

I never claimed you did. I just clarified which plan you were on, and added how their other plan works. This could be nice for others to know. I don’t know why you’d take that as a personal attack, but I certainly didn’t intend it as one.

I can’t be bothered to research every plan to answer this question, but Mint Mobile was dirt cheap while using T-Mobile service. They probably still are, but it arguably doesn’t count anymore since T-Mobile acquired them.

This is the Unlimited Plus plan. Their Simply Unlimited plan throttles you after 5 GB of hotspot usage, but phone data is unlimited.

They absolutely can, several carriers who use other carriers are cheaper than who they lease service from. They won’t be paying consumer prices to use those towers.

It all depends on what margins they have, what extra services they provide, and whether they have other ways of monetizing you. They might even be reselling at a loss to boost their initial market share. In Google’s case, it’s safe to assume they want your data and sacrifice some margins to get it.

Different goals. The goal of Apollo was to make a good app. The goal of the official reddit app is to show you ads and siphon money off you.

I guarantee you a good chunk of that R&D money is for making ads more profitable and other monetization.
