  • Once upon a time, in the vast land of Internet, there was a magical library called Web. The library had many librarians, but a wise old owl by the name of Google was the most popular one. Everyone in the kingdom of knowledge loved him. People asked him questions, and Google gave them the answers. Life was good.

    However, in the dark corners of the Internet, in the Swamps of Bottomless Greed, there lurked an evil litch queen Seo. She only wanted to watch the world burn, and so she cast an evil curse on Google. The curse of Seo made Google give completely wrong answer. As chaos, ignorance and lies spread cross the land, queen Seo laughed in her castle.

    The end.

    Good night, sweet dreams.

  • Well, now that taking a loan is fast and easy, people tend to spend the money they don’t have and buy the things they can’t afford. Having some sort of a speed bump along the way should make people think a little more and avoid getting into unnecessary debt.

  • The idea is to avoid the expense spiraling out of control due to exponential growth.

    In order to motivate your business partner, you should have a contract that defines the price of the stocks in a favorable way. It’s like buying and selling really. The lender pays 4300 € for the car, and sells it at a higher price, such as 4600 €.

  • UAZ Cabriolet

    It’s clearly the worst car money can buy. Before starting the engine, you need to check which liquids have leaked out and add some accordingly. Pretty much anything and everything can and will leak. Who needs a gym when just turning the wheel is a workout. If you want to listen to hardbass while driving, you need to bring your own stereo with you since this car doesn’t have one. It’s the only car that can be improved by a mechanical failure. When the engine or transmission inevitably dies, you’re finally free from this torment.

    0/10, would not recommend

  • Compound interest.

    Let’s say you need to borrow 5000 € for your first car, but you have only 700 €. First, you’ll need to find a lender who is willing to share the risk with you. Then, you form a joint stock company (Tom’s Volvo C30 2008 incorporated), where you own 7/50 of the car and the other party owns the rest. When you have some more money, you can buy some more stocks. One day, you’ll own the whole car and the lender has all of their money back.

  • But what if you have an AMD APU. Doesn’t that use your normal RAM as VRAM?

  • Where do we draw the line what is or isn’t a religion? If you have definition, try applying it to Pastafarianism, Communism, Budhism and a bunch of other ideas and practices from Asia.

    Personally, I prefer to go with a super simple and completely arbitrary list definition. If it’s on my secret list, it’s a religion. If not, it’s a philosophy.

  • If you’re curious about what do we do with all that carbon, here’s a handy diagram for you. It’s a clearly outdated, but I suspect it’s still roughly valid today. Energy production has since shifted towards renewables and transportation is gently sliding towards EVs, but there’s still a long way to go. Steel, concrete, and many other industries tends to change very slowly, so I suspect those emissions have stayed very similar to what they were back in 2016.

    If you want to speed things up a bit, I suggest voting for the people who change the legislation accordingly. Businesses follow the money, so making polluting more expensive and eco-frienly options cheaper is the way to address this problem.

  • Use it sparingly and with style. More isn’t always better.

  • Optical Character Recognition used to be firmly in the realm of AI until it became so common that even the post office uses it. Nowadays, OCR is so common that instead of being proper AI, it’s just another mundane application of a neural network. I guess, eventually Large Language Models will be outside there scope of AI.

  • Yeah, it’s well known that you can’t listen to heavy metal if you haven’t killed anyone yet.

  • If you watch smaller channels, you’ll find something to map. Even though the video is several days old, you’re the first sponsor block user watching it.

  • GPT loves alliteration, so at least there’s something to support your suspicion.

  • Just found some LG business TVs/displays/signage that actually run Tizen. Remember that cool Linux distro that was supposed to take over the mobile world nearly 15 years ago? Well, turns out, it didn’t, but it didn’t it die completely either.

    Hopefully those panels are a bit more hackable or more privacy oriented.

  • Neither did I until one day I stumbled upon a video that explained the misguided experiments that were behind the saying. Just today I started reading about it on Wikipedia and found that juicy summary.

    There’s a pretty good reason why we have ethical restrictions and peer review with modern science.

  • Alternatively, you could also get a 40+” monitor. Avoid Samsung, because nowadays they are really pushing their spyware everywhere, including displays. Some other brands should be fine though.

  • I wonder if anyone has made a custom rom for TVs, sort like Lineage or Graphene. These panels run Android, so why not?

  • Someone should make a wall of shame for the worst offenders.
