NASA got us to the moon in 5 years, crony capitalism has shown all it can do is prolonged spam in a can going about as well as Putin's SMO.

The whole purpose of these built in AI processors it to reduce the friction on their surveillance of you. The AI chip can analyze and summarize large quantities of subservience data on you and then phone home that summary, rather than the time consuming and more costly, sending the whole of the data and using up bandwidth.

The are struggling to show any concrete benefit to the customer, as that is not the goal of the chips.

Under mob rule, NASA will be politicised and nothing more than a rubber stamp for further engorging Trumps cadre of space tech oligarchs. It's the last gasp of oligarchy before mob rule decends into chaos.

Our Tech Bro overlords have been slurping PC surveillance for years, the NPU make life easier for that. The NPU eats that data, analyzes it, and sends the digest report back to the tech bros. This way they can gather more data, but only have to transmit the filtered, categorized and summarized cream back to them.

No doubt the NPU, to function fully for its supposed consumer benefits, will also serve as a conduit front end to assist with making cloud based solutions preferable to native solutions, further bringing all PC use into the cloud where you pay rent and own no software that operates independently on the PC.

Oh boy more imaginary trickle down.

The sh*t is about to hit the fan, all those robots and AI enhanced robots have allready been made, under Biden, but kept in storehouses as rolling them out in mass would cause social upheaval a Democratic admin will take steps to allievate,

Now with a stongman who is extremely anti-labor and his loyalists set to controll all three branches of government, the roll out of robots and AI knowledge workers will become a flood, and any social unrest will be redirected towards the chosen strawman of minorities, immiggrants, and anyone who publicly does not agree with the party line.

so accordin to the incoming administration, some shock and belt tightening is in order as US policy shifts to penalizing efforts on net zero and rewarding energy management soley of cost. Guess who can afford more power than you, and be happy getting priced out of energy, no imposed restrictions, your free to freeze if you can't out bid the oligarchs.

Blah Blah, Centralize

Just another way to say, we learned from introduction of personal computers, renting centralized solutions is way more profitable than selling commodity compute.

Knowing Microsoft, just waiting to see how they shoot themselves in the foot with this. Given that they also want to charge for the full version, methinks what they tack on to Bing will be severely hobbled and munged up.

As if F*ckUBook actually does not know that a good portion of its accounts are fake.

If it is available to the public, its game.

Only a cadre of costly lawyers and ever clue less judicial officials can not see that.

It is only a matter of time before AI systems replace much of what business employees low wage customer service workers with, leading to a new grifter specialization, conning AIs.

The more of Chechnya Putin grabs, while the rest of the world gets hysterical and fails to act, the more likely China will grab Taiwan.

How the headline should read

Crazed luny running irresponsible media venture now hallucinating visions of turning around an all ready sinking ship.

It's like the captain of the Titanic, ordering crew to leave all bulkheads open, while telegraphing the world that nothing is wrong, we will be in port soon.

As Vladimire has shown, in today's world powerful despots have pretty much free reign to grab what ever real estate they like on thier borders, and the rest of the world will just whine, bitch, employ more shunning while generally forsaking the humans lost in the grab.

So, I get your typical crony local government back room deals where the officials at the top get paybacks, but really what has Foxconn gotten out of this even if they never deliver?

I don't get it, does not the TOS trump everything else. If the TOS states the company may copy and preserve your data at any time to cooperate with law enforcement, then that is the end of the conversation.

Some folks don't recognize a shake down when it as plain as day. Guess which CPC official now has multiple new dachas after Tesla and Apple's factories got a pass.

This is not politics, it's organized crime.

All connected, interoperable, never going to happen. The only business plan Zuckzombie and his ilk understand is the walled garden. Online multiplayer platforms and games do everything they can to keep all monetization/value withing that entity. You think Zuckzombie or Activision is going to say yes to third party gold sellers?

F*CK Korporate Welfare

F*ck Korporate Welfare.

Look no further for proof Citizens United turned bribery into how to get massive governent handouts 101.

Nice to see more people are finally grokking that the crime here is not the 30% sale price take, but the vig, owing Apple 30% of every microtransaction made via the app for perpetuity.

The issues are clear with Apple, with Google, it is really android that is the problem and OS issues are too complex for the average lawmaker to grasp.

win 10 Updates - Three days a month my computer is useless

I have a potato computer. Every Win 10 update takes control of it for three days of endless disk thrashing, extremely long start up times, and massive lag when trying to play games or run any memory or cpu intensive software. Usually after 3 days things settle down.

Fortunately they have never broken anything, but why in Gods name does their own anti-virus have to scan every file of their update multiple times?

Thank God, my potato does not qualify for Win 11.

Renting puts you business way out on a limb you cannot easily climb down from.

It puts your business in an environment you have zero control over, for things like security, safety, disasters, and at the whims/greed of who collects the rent.

If those don't matter to your business, then it is cheaper in the short term, but could cost way more in the long run.

We all know Google only values 2 things:

* Acquiring data about individuals

* Using that data to make money, buy selling it, or selling advertising

Clearly the JEDI program did not offer them enough data on people (military and defense dept employees and thier families).

Oops, some Yahoo suit publicly uttered Republic of China.

Corporate Welfare anyone?

The metaverse is a meaningless term, it's the old street con man for mumbling incomprehenibly when a mark asks questions.

F*ckUbook motto really is "we use stupid laws like 230 and technology to invade everyone's privacy and sell the information gained to the highest bidder, and also promoting murder, incest, pedophilia, racism etc if it sells adds."

Metamucil is more like it, get ready to get shit on even more by powerful corporations.

Those terms of service are BS, and any judge should have the sense to see that.

Lawyers and eventually Judges That Get IT

It has taken a generation or so for lawyers and eventually those on the bench to have grown up with technology and have a clue about what big tech is running circles around privacy and fair trade.

This is hopeful, but sadly my just be a high profile shake down. Big tech will just have to "speak" (as in Citizen's United) a little more with the litigants to make this all go away. Compared to the loss if they had to stop these practices, bribes are pin money.

Yes Mr. Bozo Billionaire, we congress folk need a few more dachas and yatchs, just play along and send us some more of your pin money.

As if any billionaire in the post Citizen's United US as anything to worry about legally.

What the F*ck, any fool knows if you have a mostly captive group of humans, whose only choice is to eat in your mess hall, that you totally dispense with cash registers and paying that just slows a line down. You just pile yearly fee on them. Tough tomatoes if they miss a meal, or choose to not eat.

Every school I went to growing up did it this way. If it was a private school it came out of your tuition. If it was pubic they just did not even dick around with any charges, if you were a kid in the cafeteria you got fed, no charge. Compared to the walnut paneling budget for administrators the cost to do that is pin money in most school systems.

The old use you powerful position to shake down as many as you can in practise.

Ever since Steve Jobs learned all he could from a top softdrink salesman, Crapple has been about style and brand before substance.

"Sideloading" is like Gucci warning customers wearing anything other than Gucci is not cool.

The last paragraph is proof why 230 is detrimental to civilization. Promoting filth and hate speech for profit was never the intent of 230.

It was written before anyone had a clue about what the lack of liability would do to throw gasoline on the fires of racism, luddites, and Nazis.

Giving away more of your private information to increase security?

Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

And the world, briefly was a better place.

Imagine if highway toll were like this

Toll to use this stretch of highway: $5.00

Service Fee: After complete search of your vehicle, 80% of the net value of anything found in your car/truck.

We see story after story these days of worker shortages usually proscribed to something other than fewer workers in the population. Maybe that should tell you something.
