You can not believe them all you want. It doesn’t magically make everyone competent.

Businesses value MONEY first, not security, not happy customers, not competent staff. MONEY.

Which is cheaper? Get a product working enough to sell. Get a product properly developed, secured, and audited.

Pick one. Hint: corporations choose MONEY. Every time.

Your data is not safe, because rich pieces of shit like MONEY more than they like YOU.

Their “constituents” are the corporations paying their bills. When was the last time you bought a politician?

Hacker’s Keyboard can. Because it’s just a condensed full keyboard, ctrl, alt, arrow keys, function keys, and most of the rest included.

Naw, Rogue One was passable, never mind the few dumb fan service quips. Andor is straight up good. Mando was acceptable.

The rest? Yeaaahh… Disney has added little quality to the universe. At least George expanded the universe in ways that felt natural to the universe, even if he did it like a huge dork.

Disney keeps pulling a Hollywood and making things about grand spectacle with the thinnest of stories and actual plot holes everywhere. It’s … genuinely sad to see a multi BILLION dollar company squander and shit on such an expensive IP. You’d think they’d at least understand they paid a shitload for it and shouldn’t devalue it with garbage productions.

If it’s NVMe, it’s already as fast as it needs to be.

Comparing HDD to NVMe, though… Yea, it makes a big difference! I get frequent, near constant stuttering in some open world games like Elden Ring.

Literally not what people are talking about. It’s the “AI” part of the task that doesn’t leave the device (unless it prompts to ask chat gpt). Not that it can magically gleam live info without making any request to the web…

Jeeze, fucking… get your shit straight, making me defend Apple… Fucking do better.

"All of them. Ideally.

… Oh shit, I said that second part oht loud, didn’t I?"

• Every “AI” CEO ever…

It’d definitely increase the chances of your immune system seeing any fragments!

No, that’s NOT begging the question, that’s just being an ass about actually asking a question.

Nah, doesn’t have to be such straight forward tit for tat crap. That’s far less interesting.

For an example, they really dropped the ball in the Obi-Wan show. They could’ve made it a great story about how he basically HAD to become a Grey Jedi. Explore how the “goodie two shoes” aspect of the Jedi clashes with the real world. Put Obi-Wan through a ton of real-world situations where he HAS to go against the Jedi code to get any kind of positive result.

SHOW how the Jedi are naive, don’t just declare it so and throw a supervillain at them.

Maaaaybe, but it’d have to be in a form that’s still recognized through digestion and absorption in the guts.

The most likely result would just be some upset tummies if some gut bacteria likes the pieces(if any even survive digestion) and it’d likely give no extra resistance.

Being hostile to a real question’s answers is also not begging the question.

Begging the question is a logical fallacy where someone is purposefully leaving out info or otherwise twisting things to end at a conclusion that was never properly supported. The point is there is an unsupported conclusion they’re trying to jump to.

Simply asking a question, even one with an obvious or sarcastic answer, is seldom “begging the question”.

Nothing to see here, folks, just experimenting with new vaccine ideas!

Uhhhhh it’s an OPEN question available to people who DO dislike the OS, so no. No just ASKING a question is NOT “begging the question”.

It’s asking a question.

No, I don’t want toddler writing to explore it. I want the show to explore it. Clone Wars barely scratches the surface. Just because it follows Anakin’s adventures of the war they shouldn’t be openly fighting doesn’t make it magically true that it explores the meaning of it. At all.

bahaha yea… a tribe of “peaceful” monks going around fighting a war as a main leading faction was never going to work out without a bit of blatant hypocrisy and war crimes. I guess it was supposed to be part of the point in why the Jedi were still unwise, but the canon never explores that well at all, IMO.

Yea, Obi-Wan would’ve said something effectively the same, but sounding like wisdom. Like, “Anakin, you musn’t rush in to situations so much. Meditate on it and find an answer that doesn’t involve rushing in with your light saber.” or something… I guess that’s still better than stfu, but…

I agree, that’s why I said, “… they simply don’t use the units enough.”

I know imperial VERY well, but that’s because I lift weights listed in lbs and craft things all the time, which takes measuring. I also do 3d printing in metric, so I have a solid feel for millimeters, centimeters, and decimeters, but less so full meters because I seldom work on that scale.

Considering I had an intuition for lbs as a child, though… I don’t really buy that people suck at their native units as adults. If they do, they’re simply not paying attention.

Ehhhhh… measurements aren’t that hard to learn. They’re still measuring the same kinds of things. All measurements are still arbitrary to a human.

Basically the ONLY thing the metric system has over imperial is it matches our number system by being base-10. I know I know, it’s a BIG difference for a lot of calculations to not have to throw in non-matching unit conversions, and the metric system is ultimately based on absolute values pulled from the universe. At least by definition, as meaningless as that fact is to humans just looking at a length and going, “yup, that’s about 1 1/2 meters.”.

Anyone who failed to build an intuition simply didn’t use units enough. A lot of US carpenters like imperial units for a similar reason most like the metric system: The ratios match up to what they work with. Most people work with base-10 numbers A LOT more than base 8, 12, or 16. Though for woodworkers, when boards come in feet, blades are clean fractions of inches in size, and buildings are sized 8’ tall, etc, etc, it all lines up nicely to reduce a worker’s mental load.

I still think metric is superior, but imperial very much is not “senseless”. The biggest reason we’ll never switch is because so many industries have their ratios set for imperial units or interact with other American construction based on those ratios. Not to mention maintenance on things already built. It’d be a huge headache of a transition for many industries.
