Even MS hasn’t dared to release a version of Windows you can’t switch out of “S mode” yet, but the fact that it even exists would be troubling for them.

MS would love a walled garden like Apple have made, but there’s no way in hell it would ever pan out for them, and certainly not before regulation arrives (probably from the EU) that would stamp it out, and that’s before you take into account the business implications. Windows only exists because of all the pre-existing software. Flattening the only reason to stay would be suicide.

Or Paul Rudd, who is nearly 10 years older. Some people just age better than others.

It might be more science-y if he had an identical twin and only one of them was getting the supplements.

All that money, time and effort in order for a 46 year old to look somewhere in his mid 40s.

The one in the photo looks like they cobbled it together from an old cardboard box.

*monkey paw closes*

But it’s just for AI bullshit.

All this time and effort and the only person that came close to stopping this madness was Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Because Bluesky has a marketing budget.

“We need to get away from these billionaire-ran social media sites! Ooh, a new billionaire-ran social media site!”

Same with the people who fled reddit and set their communities up on Discord…

Apple: You don’t need a pen for the iPad.

Artists: We need a pen.

Apple: You don’t need a pen for the iPad.

Artists: We need a pen.

Apple: OK here’s a pen.

Apple: You don’t need a controller for VR.

Gamers: We need a controller.

<---- We are here.

Never really had any issue with Teflon (and Teflon substitute) pans, but I’ve been impressed with the non-stickiness of my dirt cheap “ceramic” wok.

That’s why I was asking which time.

That Taliban rose up because the country was abandoned by the US after helping them see off the Soviet Union (and indeed being one of the catalysts that caused the Soviet Union to collapse). They were left with no infrastructure, and the Taliban stepped in with all the religious crazies in tow. And yeah, a lot of them were the mujahideen who were armed and trained by the US. They’re soldiers after all, and new regimes always need soldiers…

The Russians later gave them some equipment and funding to fight the US when they later invaded, but nowhere near enough to actually fight back. It was going to take more than a couple of rocket launchers for that.

Nobody ever gave a shit about the people there. Not the Taliban, not the US and not the Russians. Nobody is learning from it. You’ve got the exact same shit right now in Syria. They were rebels, then they were ISIS and Al-Qaeda, now they’re rebels again. All based on whether or not they’re attacking the old enemy.

Even if they found it what are the chances they could get any data from it after 11 years exposed to the elements? Wales is not a dry place. It will be fucked.

There’s loads of people lamenting the loss of crypto coins that they spent on a pizza back when they were worth pennies, or lost to a dead HDD. I worked with a guy who claimed he had £2 million of it on a dead drive and he was going to have it recovered, but the fact that he wore the same reeking tobacco covered jumper every day indicated that was a lie.

Who is “you guys” and when did this arming and training happen?

Not because I doubt it happened, but because it’s happened enough times with enough people that you need to be specific…

In fairness it’s the Taliban. They’re not exactly renowned for being interested in intellectual growth.

Or indeed how much it weighs.

Fabric dye? Sometimes I wish we hadn’t done all this testing on animals to make sure this stuff was safe to consume…

Probably something to do with all that ivermectin.

Surely the judge still has a role, and that is to determine the punishment if found guilty.

Does it not have a touchscreen?
