In this economy? I’m sure its worth it but $70 is $70.

Neat! Punishing conspiracy and engineered lying is a good thing!
- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 1 week ago:
Cloud based solutions in selfhosted are a hilarious suggestion.
- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 1 week ago:
I would suggest avoiding anything that is a “community” or “personal use only”. If its not fully open its not worth it.

Ick. No person would be happy within a 20km radius of her.

“Aint nothing but a heartache” “Tell me why” spastic crying
- Comment on Lawsuit claims discrimination by Workday’s hiring tech prevented people over 40 from getting hired 1 week ago:
Its workday. Its a miracle if it works anytime of day. This is not surprising.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 1 week ago:
In my experience the outfits target schools to exploit the children’s relationship and free labor with family. We are talking incredibly low quality junk you cannot find at stores or really even online.
At my school the goal was to sell like $1000 worth a crap to get a limo ride to a local restaurant.
6,7,8 year old etc do not have a value of wealth. “Oh daddy/mommy/grandpa, I really really want the limo ride” etc.
There’s no legitimate reason for such a thing to exist other than pure exploitation. After experiencing that I would demand to opt out for my children.
- Comment on CFPB withdraws proposed rule that would have prevented data brokers from selling or misusing consumers’ sensitive personal data 2 weeks ago:
Too much money in the long end of the stick.
- Comment on Things at Tesla are worse than they appear 2 weeks ago:
Funniest thing about Tesla was the idea they’d make evs more economical and realible after starting in the luxury space. They did exactly the opposite and now shareholders are paying dearly.
- Comment on Can local LLMs be as useful and insightful as those widely available? 3 weeks ago:
100% you don’t have to train a thing ollama uses open availability models. They many are decent, the best use a lot of ram/vram.
- Comment on Data centers will look ridiculous with tiny future servers. 3 weeks ago:
They tend to fill the space. I mean if you drive by a modern data center, so much grid electrical equipment is just right there. Now if hypothetically supermachine uses all that power sure, small data center. Unless they have a nuclear reactor they should (fu felon musk) only rely on grid/solar/renewables.

Its always funny, regardless of nationality.
- Comment on China’s Shandong carrier makes rare show of force as US and Philippines hold joint drills 3 weeks ago:
That too, waste of money when their prime goal is the island next door.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 3 weeks ago:
No, it turns out that lying to the consumer about old tech is profitable.
- Comment on China’s Shandong carrier makes rare show of force as US and Philippines hold joint drills 3 weeks ago:
It has a ramp. Lol.
- Comment on Kansas wants to use AI to spot guns in schools. One major company won’t say how often the system fails 4 weeks ago:
If its >50% (that is it is just randomly works) I wouldn’t want to announce that I am ripping off the government either.
- Comment on Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for the input.
In my opinion, this is definitely copium on uber’s part. Taking on far more debt to try to be a public utility level of too big to fail is laughable. There is always an end stage they need to sell that is bigger and better.
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 5 weeks ago:
Hilariously unprofitable. They even came up with creative accounting to show how, despite never being profitable they may turn a profit if you don’t count their debts and losses.
- Comment on Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners 1 month ago:
Great point!
- Comment on Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners 1 month ago:
TLDR: the marketing lies about full self driving are problematic given the computers of the last few gens are only marginally more capable then a toaster. Some lawsuits have made Tesla pay up, many more might.
Opinion: do not let your car kill you. Do not use full self driving.
- Comment on NVIDIA to Manufacture American-Made AI Supercomputers in US for First Time. 1 month ago:
This is the one tech company I would have laughed at if they said American labor is too expensive.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
I’ve noticed the same thing, including on stuff that should be spell checked like news articles. Its not even rare. I’ve also noticed my phone (current android) it has been making it nearly impossible to overrule errant spelling even if it is not correctly changing it.
Overall I believe its entirely the lack of proof reading. Please god I proof read this let it contain no errors.

- Comment on Markets rise despite China-US tariff clash 1 month ago:
Its beyond dumb to comment on an opening market and speak to the whole day.
Funny enough from A.P. : apnews.com/…/stock-market-economy-tariffs-updates…
“U.S. stocks dropped after a second day of stunning reversals. The S&P 500 fell 1.6% Tuesday after wiping out an early gain of 4.1%, which had it on track for its best day in years. That brought the index nearly 19% below its record set in February.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 320 points after giving up an earlier surge of 1,460, while the Nasdaq composite lost 2.1%. Uncertainty is still high about what will do with his trade war. including a massive 104% levy on Chinese imports, are scheduled to kick in after midnight.”
