Could it be because among affluent, environmentally conscious consumers, it's no longer cool to be driving a car made by an unhinged right-wing narcissist?
Musk said on the earnings call that his concern would be, given his current shareholding, that he will have "so little influence" in the future that some major shareholder could strip away his control or make a bad decision.
Or could it be a consequence of dumping shares to fund a megalomaniacal need to own a social media platform?
The microblogging platform that once limited posts to 140 characters is now a "video-first" platform?
It's so prone to cracking along the fold, though. You should either get the extended warranty or treat the phone as disposable, because it will likely not last more than a couple of years.
Bernie Madoff cornered the market for Swiss Miss hot chocolate while in prison.
Partly psychopathic manipulation, partly sleeping around for career advancement. It's a tale as old as time.
I see at least four big problems with having drivers that sit around to supervise the AI.
Mozilla is in the process of implementing passkeys in Firefox. This page tracks the status of various implementations of passkeys.
What a pathetic excuse. You know what's at the other end of a USB-A cable? A USB-B connector that didn't have the symmetry problem. Also, Firewire existed around the same time (in fact, slightly earlier) and didn't have the symmetry problem.
The example where an interview of a victim of Hurricane Ciaran, originally in French, was deepfaked to be speaking English, was pretty scary. Some people will think that it's just for convenience, but for me, it's a step too far down the slippery slope. If they were to do the same for a politician, a slight nuance in how a phrase was translated could change everything.
Kids these days. When I was small, I got to play with Lego 377: Shell Service Station.
All the personal information you mentioned should be hashed or encrypted. For any given phone number, see how little information they have: just an account creation timestamp and a last access timestamp.
No, It's called X now. Elon willed it so, and I'm happy to oblige. Posts are called X-cretions (or X-crement, if they are shitposts).
Yes, but you can't inspect quality into a product; you have to build it into the product.
Years ago, some American auto executives toured a Toyota factory to learn from them. After the tour, one of them said, "Those sneaky Japanese, they didn't show us their rework area." What he didn't know was that unlike American factories, there was no rework area. Everything was assembled correctly the first time, and any worker had the right to stop the assembly line at any time to fix a problem. It's far easier than finding and fixing a defect that is buried deep in a finished product.
On modern computers, linked lists are rarely a good option for performance. The overhead of the memory allocator and the non-sequential layout (which results in CPU memory cache misses) means that dynamic arrays are surprisingly faster even for random inserts on very long lists.
What if a compile job takes a long time? Would that be a good reason to context switch?
According to this article, gnome-shell --replace no longer works starting with GNOME Shell 3.30.
In the current Staging implementation, you pick a username (which you can change), and the app picks a two-digit suffix to your username.
What are you complaining about? Those were the glory days of HP.
Standardized by JEDEC earlier this year as JESD323, CUDIMMs tweak the traditional unbuffered DIMM by adding a clock driver (CKD) to the DIMM itself, with the tiny IC responsible for regenerating the clock signal driving the actual memory chips. By generating a clean clock locally on the DIMM (rather than directly using the clock from the CPU, as is the case today), CUDIMMs are designed to offer improved stability and reliability at high memory speeds, combating the electrical issues that would otherwise cause reliability issues at faster memory speeds. In other words, adding a clock driver is the key to keeping DDR5 operating reliably at high clockspeeds.
Sure, unless the username+suffix is already taken.
In aviation, an intentional accident is still an accident. A suicidal pilot can deliberately crash an airplane, and it's still considered an accident.
Electric cars generally have heated seats. Since heat doesn't come as a free byproduct, it's more efficient to keep occupants warm by heating the seats than the air.
Citation please? Apple was part of the USB-C Specification Working Group. Despite their obsession with the Lightning connector, they were also the ones who made USB-C-only laptops.
Once you accept venture capital, you're pretty much down the path to going public, because the investors have an expectation of realizing their gains if the company is successful.
Completely private messaging with accounts that have no ties to real-world identities would open the doors to spam and all kinds of abuse.
No. You still need to use a phone number to create an account. The proposed feature lets you pick a username so that you can have people contact you via the username, and you won't have to tell people what your phone number is. You would be able to change your username at any time, and usernames all have a random two-digit number suffix.
There's zero chance that Google / YouTube don't already know about the Vinegar Safari extension for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
Since Italians take the authenticity of foods so seriously, Prosciutto di Parma and many other foods are already protected by DOP designation.
Be sure to pronounce the "x" as in Chinese pinyin.
How would a kernel that has already crashed handle keypresses?
I wish people would just call it X. If that's what Elon wants, let him reap the consequences of his crazy decisions.
Guess what the EU just did with USB-C?
Interesting that it is legal to withhold mail. In many countries that would be a crime.
