One day your Internet search history is going to traumatize a police officer.

I hope they own Jones’ likeness to the point where they can give DJs the rights to remix his shouts into something of value.

What Biden does it doesn’t do is immaterial at this point. American voters have no interest in responsible democracy. Democracies grant extreme power to the people - including the power of suicide. Whether through confusion, deception, or apathy, that is exactly what American voters have chosen.

Reminds me of this ropeway thing that Tom Scott covered that doesn’t require power input either, for similar reasons:

Niche application but still cool.

In this case YouTube can do literally anything they want due to the lack of real alternatives. Hosting videos for free, for anyone (and any number of viewers) to watch, for free, is rather predictably not a very profitable business model. If you want to see what it takes to actually be profitable with such a model, look at the average free porn site. Extremely intrusive ads everywhere. If you don’t want to pay, and ads are the only revenue, advertisers are the customer, not you.

“unrealized gains” that you can somehow live off of indefinitely.

Flour is flammable and light. If the fan makes a bunch of it fly around in your oven the heating element could ignite it. Search YouTube for “flour fire”.

Probably not super dangerous at if you’re just baking a sheet pan of flour, but good to be safe.

If you bake dry flour , remember to NOT use convection.

You can make safe edible cookie dough pretty easily . The eggs aren’t the only issue, it’s the flour itself. If you bake it at like 275F for 30 mins in a sheet pan it’ll sterilize it. For edible cookie dough that won’t be baked you don’t even need eggs.

Having said that, I too have eaten my share of regular cookie dough.

The wise thing is to not offer perpetual licenses in the first place. You can’t predict the state of your business in 10 years let alone beyond that. Why make commitments that? Marketing of course. So if they’re going to raise capital that way (by one-time revenue from sales of perpetual licenses) then they can’t just decide that perpetual doesn’t mean perpetual anymore. All in all this will come down to a legal duel between expensive legal teams.

Because they make it easy and do a few cool things.

“Do you want a mic in your home that can record everything you say and do and send that data off to wherever the company chooses?”

“No of course not.”

“What about of it will also turn your lights on and off and play despacito on demand?”

“You son of a bitch, sign me up”.

The fact that this tweet caused their stock price to dive really shows what a joke the stock market is .

So sausage rolls are like the bearer bonds of Britain?

…is it, though?

Did you have 3 strokes while typing that comment?

It’s highly likely that you had one or more bad-but-not-dead cables (like a weak termination) that was limiting your speed. By swapping everything out you fixed the problem. Cat 5e to 8 definitely shouldn’t have caused that much if a jump (if any).

The power argument is true, but secondary. The primary reasons for this are ultimately financial. The problem was that Windows 7 was too good. Too stable. It did everything most people wanted, without issues. What has been added to windows after windows 7 that was actually beneficial to the user? The answer is nothing, within a small margin of error. That’s why upgrades to W10 and now 11 are as forced as possible. It’s not like those uogrades have anything that people actually need or want. Since they can’t produce anything more for windows that people would actually want to pay for, all that is left is adding in telemetry/spyware and selling your data, likely along side a long term vision to turn Windows into a monthly subscription.

When innovation ends but demand for increasing profits doesn’t, enshittification is all that is left.

The distinction between that and a malicious hack consists entirely of intent .

It’s an argument for decentralization. An argument that won’t be heeded.
