Yeah everyone uses WhatsApp when I travel to other countries.

Where did you get the name?

No, though it is much more common recently.

Never buy the first model year of any vehicle. And that includes new generations with the same model name. They always have the most problems the first year, so you’re just paying to be a beta tester.

That doesn’t sound like a design that would work in an apartment building. How do neighbouring apartments connect?

Maybe you can draw it out? My guess is that it’s actually just a big rectangle when you figure out where the bathrooms and closets are.

It’s a “bone Billy”

I had no backup, as I always considered my MicroSD as an external storage medium for such data.

I know you’re not looking for advice that would have been great before things went wrong, but… When they say to have a backup up on external storage, they don’t mean make the backup and then delete the original. Then the “backup” is just the original.

Also, I don’t think that microSD life expectancy is that great. I wouldn’t it trust it as a sole keeper of backups.

Good luck.

Cuba might get the short end of this one. If it becomes too embarrassing for our military/government they might cut off relations. And Canadian tourism is a big sustainer of Cuban coffers. Canada could cut off that income by blocking travel there, or even just declaring it as an “avoid all travel” zone, effectively cutting off tourism.

The truth is, we don’t know what’s going on. Maybe this was a deliberate decision to get closer to the Russians without triggering an incident. Maybe the US knew about this and approved it. Maybe it was a blunder, but we can’t just assume it was.

What was the original license that people paid for? Is there anything in there that would protect them?

I foresee the “ramen challenge spicy 3x” coming to your TikTok by the end of the day. (Someone will have to let me know if I’m right, i don’t have these new-fangled tikky tock things the kids are talking about.)

I couldn’t handle the wall of text with no context on what it would be about, so here’s a TLDR from ChatGPT:

The blog post by Michael Roberts critiques the optimistic predictions of AI’s economic benefits, arguing that AI may not significantly boost productivity and could exacerbate inequality. Roberts highlights economist Daron Acemoglu’s skepticism, noting modest productivity gains and potential negative impacts on wages and job quality. The post stresses that AI’s benefits depend on its application and warns about the high energy costs and environmental impact. It calls for AI to be developed for human welfare rather than profit.

They did add audiobooks.

Though the interface for audiobooks sucks, so I hope they improve it.

The cone of silence obvi

That was brought up in the article but they didn’t go into much detail. How was that book received?

I was letting you know. It’s all good dude, the world isn’t going to end if he doesn’t read the full discussion.

Yeah more just commenting on the moderation work :)

Looks like they might be removed (except one). Sorting by new and looking for downvoted posts I just see the one ad and an article about string theory + AI (double whammy).

You might get a number of “free” articles before you start seeing it.
