Company before COVID: "We have 32 buildings across 5 campuses in 3 cities" After Covid: "We have 32 empty buildings no one will buy from us for enough to even break even. If we sell them no we lose millions, but they just sit empty"

If you are too poor to consume the advertised items/services then the actual customers of those products/services are paying for your access.

I personally use an ad-blocker, but I only hate ads because they can be a vector for malware. P.s. I also use StartPage as my search engine of choice.

Hmmm, Did not look that closely at the size. I did see larger "Floor-Standing" ones for just north of $200 I think.

Apparently $72.95 - Note: I am not associated with the seller.

It seems Dall-E can get cybernetic (Cybranetic? hmm, spell checker marked both ok) hands correct - 4 fingers, thumb opposing correctly. The Cyberpunk girl seems to not intend to shoot anyone today because all four fingers grip the gun's grip, none are near the trigger, as far as I can tell.

Yes, Yes it is. Thank you, citizen. "Besides flying" kinda means : "Ok he has flying, but what else does he have?"

That's a 'superpower' ? - Perhaps he has some sort of way of convincing people to do what they would not normally do. This would not be hypnosis because the hypnotiesd usually will not violate their held beliefs.

What superpowers does Peter Pan have? besides flying?

There was a local ISP that was seeing its workforce trying to unionize. So they blanked and blocked any website that mentioned the union.

Any instance where packets are treated differently due to their content violates net neutrality.

The site has a mandatory ad blocker ban. Boo. Ads can bring malware if a bad actor buys an ad they can fill that space with whatever evil they choose.

How does the idea that the last mile should be a public utility, much like electricity? Here in Sacramento many of us get our electricity from SMUD, a city-owned electrical supplier. When you sign up for Internet - your house is already cabled, you choose from several ISPs.

I also hope for a rule that says either produce content or provide a connection - not both.

Originally just a random idea to throw at Stable Diffusion. To see what it might do. The do look more like Mulder and Scully.

Every time I have asked ChatGPT to code something it seems to lose the thread halfway through and starts giving nonsensical code. I asked it to do something simple in HP41C calculator code and it invented functions out of whole cloth.

This could use electrical arc flashes emanating from the rings around the base. ZZZzzZZZap!

Where are my flying cars?

I have used the machine with a keyboard, but it is a laptop - meant to go places away from a fixed installation. I have an Asus Vivobook with a sane keyboard.

I have a Lenovo I never use because they placed the right shift key and the up arrow key stupidly. As I am typing if I want to capitalize a letter using the right shift key my finger gets the up-arrow key most of the time, I don't see this for several keystrokes, leading to having to correct the issue. It's very annoying. It is a nice i7 machine otherwise.
