“Lockdown” seems a little extreme as a response to a few protestors walking into a lobby

Unfortunately no one with the power to do anything about this war gives a flying fuck what the UN HRC thinks.

Didn’t expect to see that 3 relatives were involved

Liam Neeson tried eating Trix and got his ass beat.

Stay safe OP!

As long as there are people for whom streaming compression isn’t acceptable, there’ll be a market for Bluray movies/TV shows.

free filing would discriminate against the poor

As opposed to the current system where the richest among us can hire a whole team of accountants to find every deduction possible?

You’re acting like the filing that would come from the government would be the final record and you wouldn’t be allowed to correct it, which is not at all what people are suggesting.

Plus, audits will still be a thing.

Doubt there is one. The hard truth is that most Americans’ taxes are pretty simple and straightforward. We can stop pretending that copying some boxes from a W2 and a 1099 is difficult.

I mean, personally I wish we’d stop pretending that the IRS isn’t already fully aware of what you owe and could just do the filling for you, like in other countries, but until Grover Norquist fucks off forever we’re stuck where we are.

Watching the GN video was insane because I had that exact same experience with ASUS 10 years ago. Back when they made the Nexus 7. I had to RMA 3 of those dam things and each time I had to go through that song and dance with the RMA forms. I think when the 4th one failed I just gave up, recycled it, and moved on from this company as a whole.

Looks like nothing’s changed, which means this way of treating their customers is endemic at this point. They’re a lost cause.

I’d say it’s fine to be an investment for individuals and families. You should be able to at least break even on something you owned for 3 decades that’s still in good shape.

But that’s all. No LLCs or S Corps or any of that shit. People should own homes!

Um… then what is it intended for? ATMs and POS terminals don’t really strike me as IoT devices.

Despite concerns about accuracy and potential misuse, facial recognition technology seems poised for a surge in popularity. California-based restaurant CaliExpress by Flippy now allows customers to pay for their meals with a simple scan of their face, showcasing the potential of facial payment technology.

Oh boy, I can’t wait to be charged for someone else’s meal because they look just enough like me to trigger a payment.

All well and good for Enterprise folks I guess, but what about home users?

Something MS should’ve done decades ago. Why should the user have to clean up and optimize their PC? It only needs that because your OS is dirty and inefficient, so it should be on you to fix it.

Same argument for AVs being built-in. If it’s unsafe to use your OS on the internet that’s a failing on your part and you should see to it that doesn’t happen.

People make up for it by buying merch or going to shows. Margins on those things are much better for the artists.

Yeah most people don’t care to maintain a local music library. It’s a lot of work and compared to streaming services that do it for you this offers no real benefit. If you listen to lots of new/different music all the time, streaming is actually far cheaper.

Don’t you need specific CPUs for these AI features? If so, how is this going to work on the machines that don’t support it?

Yes but also it’s mostly just an install script. It’ll suck if one day it stops working but there are other projects already offering a similar ease-of-use setup

Set up pi-vpn so you can tunnel back into your home network whenever you’re away!

Do you recall any of the names? I’d love to read those papers and see how effective it was. Depending on the city and the route, people might have no choice but to go over a bridge like that regardless of traffic reports.
