The amount of methods used to inject things into a model is pretty high.

Pretty sure this happens outside the US.

It’s weird how I’m taking a day off whenever this stuff happens.
- Comment on How has there not yet been a leak of the Epstein files? Surely there is someone with access to them that could have been subject to worldwide pressure to let something out. 1 week ago:
Not trying to shit on her, but what a terrible name. Why name someone in such a way that it doesn’t even sound like a name to most people? That sucks for everyone.
- Comment on UK | Parent called police over school’s ban on mobile phones 1 week ago:
You mean like learning you don’t need one by your side 24/7? I think such a ban would provide more benefit than the alternative you suggest.
Plus, it’s not like not having your own personal device means they can’t teach you healthy habits or how to use them.

- Comment on UK | Parent called police over school’s ban on mobile phones 1 week ago:
I went to school just before cell phones became normal. Why is a ban of them on school premises stupid? We were fine without them.

Was, not is.
- Comment on Amazon is cracking down on illegal streaming on its Fire TV Stick 1 week ago:
It says you’ll only be able to download stuff from their store.
- Comment on Amazon is cracking down on illegal streaming on its Fire TV Stick 1 week ago:
I don’t stream anything illegal but I have had to sideload a couple of things that weren’t available to download for whatever reason. I’m not going to give up that ability.
It’s one thing if it was never available because they didn’t want to put in the work. I’m talking very generically here, not about Android or the Fire Stick in particular. Like, no one is really going to be upset that something like an MP3 player or a DVD player can’t run whatever software you want. But if your company is intentionally removing such functionality, you can fuck right off. Greed is the only reason to do it.

Any chance you’re good at making guillotines? One can hope they become high demand.
- Comment on YSK: you can stop Microsoft users from sending 'reactions' to your email by adding a "x-ms-reactions: disallow" header 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what you even want then. If an email can’t be delivered you should get a kickback notifications saying it can’t be delivered. Though, that may depend on the email service.
Ans if you’re effectively looking for a read-receipt, I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want to be notified of it. I don’t want to have to manually check anything to see if there is new information to look at. An email may be overkill, but 🤷.

Emails don’t need to work like text messages. Why are reactions even a thing for them?
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 3 weeks ago:
It uses 1% of the energy but is still 1000x faster than our current fastest cards? Yea, I’m calling bullshit. It’s either a one off, bullshit, or the next industrial revolution.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 3 weeks ago:
Uhh, isn’t this just turning them into dumb thermostats? It says you can’t control it via phone. Not that it stops working altogether.

I wish they were under the influence. At least then there’d be a good explanation.

- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 1 month ago:
Greed. Can’t be content with what you got. Always need more.

- Comment on Does the US charge tariffs on handbags from France? 1 month ago:
If any exist, I’d assume so. Do they exist? Who the hell knows. AFAIK, all the ones Trump has tried to implement have been declared unconstitutional, but who can keep up with all his antics.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Compares to a year ago? I’d have to check. I’d say it’s similar though. Compared to pre-pandemic? No. Everything is still like 50% more expensive. It’s only for sure down compared to pandemic levels.

I can’t speak to Korean law, but this seems like a real stupid take. Actors are different from their characters. You can’t damage a character because they aren’t real.
