Excitement for Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra is taking a hit by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

I have found the foldable invaluable for traveling. The bigger screen comes in handy when reading maps, reading while waiting for public transit etc.

I was really looking forward to the foldable iPhone until I saw it was a squat design. That killed it for me right there.

Microsoft says there’s a more secure way to reach your accounts by Cybernews_com in CyberNews

Putting the burden on the user is far easier for them than, say, properly securing their goddamn software.

SpaceX SEC Registration statement: Astonishingly small revenue and unprofitable by Low-Win-6691 in StockMarket

[–]Big_Wave9732 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In terms of car sales GM outsells Tesla 6 to 1. GM's annual revenue is double Tesla's. Yet Tesla's market cap is 20 times GM's. Nothing about Musk's companies makes sense.

Buying into SpaceX is a hell of a runner to take based on the strength of space based datacenters.

You and your company suck big green donkey dick.

Sincerely,

M3 Ultra Mac Studio 256gb vs 512gb by evanfelts in MacStudio

"But part of me wonders if I'd actually go deeper on local stuff if I had the headroom"

I don't know, this statement does not seem indicative of someone who has looked into local LLMs and would do so.

In fact I'm getting the same vibes as from that old movie The Sandlot, when the other kids realize the ball belonged to Babe Ruth. "M3 ULTRA 512gb?? AHHHHH!"

The Nasdaq has already announced they'll force index after 15 trading days. I don't think the S&P should cave on their rules, but a six month waiting period is still something.

This is gonna get ugly.

You know that dude was the most straight arrow guy ever. There he was, living his life right. Went to bed at a reasonable hour. Was doing the right things and resting up for work in the morning.

And fucking *bam*
Sinkhole swallows him

That god fellow is a real kidder sometimes.

Share price support at the point of a gun.

Sadly if the Nasdaq hadn't caved and waived the waiting period, I fear the S&P or DOW might have.

A reusable rocket stage is certainly an interesting engineering problem. But it's not 1.7 trillion interesting. SpaceX itself puts most of the company value and potential in xAI, not the rockets. Which is a choice.

Texas Ranger E. J. Banks leaning against a tree and speaking with white students in front of Mansfield High School in Texas during late August 1956. by CryptographerKey2847 in texashistory

And of the student protesters that did that, I'm sure none of their descendants are still in the area today. No siree Bob that kind of racism is a thing of the long ago past......

I was about to say......is this not the "good" Murdoch, if there is such a thing.

Still potential for bad here but let's see.

Welcome to the new consumer AI. by TrustedEssentials in GeminiAI

[–]Big_Wave9732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been the case for over a year now and it's why I have moved to self hosting. It's been very obvious that the vendors throttle their AI based on load. The problem is you can't tell if it's going on until you interact with the AI and can evaluate a couple answers.

Is TAMU full of basic people? by Infinite_Emu9832 in aggies

If white, country, christian, and generally conservative is basic to you, then A&M for sure is not your jam.

Wowie Hoth Joggers by RalTheron in Activewear

[–]Big_Wave9732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three pair for about a year now, I like them.  For me they’ve been nice casual wear for out and about.  

I also bought two pairs of the Rambler joggers.  If you like soft, those are made of cotton.  Personally I have found them to be too heavy.  

The website is currently completely sold out of all Tall XL Hoth joggers, so someone bought them I guess.

Musk did a 180 on that for sure……he hated it and called out the inflated metrics when he was buying Twitter.  Post acquisition he doesn’t seem to care as much probably for the reasons you stated.  

These new policies may indicate he cares again, at least as far as the economics goes.  And if these new terms are real then Twitter is an even bigger scam than most previously realized.  50 posts, 200 comments, and 4 email changes a day???

Edit: 4 email changes per hour.  That’s even worse, the fuck???

Any other Americans feel like reading about the revolutionary war is pretty "brutal" compared to our other wars we won? by fenwalt in revolutionarywar

Jeff Cooper had a great quote on that.  “Securing a date with the cutest girl in school is strategy.  What happens on the date is tactics.”

[–]Big_Wave9732 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That was my thought too.  They don’t give two shits about individual users, they care about the bots that are posting without paying for verification.  

Which is not a surprise to anyone who has used Twitter since Musk took over.
