The smell, the heat, and several decks down inside that floating tin can with hundreds of other people with absolutely no ventilation whatsoever.

That aerial picture though. Imagine spending your life’s savings into a house in a quiet neighbourhood with direct access to a nice nature waterfront walk and this monstrosity gets built almost in your backyard.

Remember that Stargate SG1 episode where they find themselves into a huge underground facility that is under attack by external forces. Jack O’Neill accepts to pilot one of their drones to help defend the complex from a wave of bombers and is infuriated to learn that the attacker’s bombers were manned while he believed they were unmanned.

That is what the Amazon data center is to me.

Likely dirty/corroded charger connecting points that make the charging contact intermittent.

Clean them, scrape off the layer of crust/corrosion with a jewler’s screwdriver if you have to. Once they’re clean and charge well again, I recommend putting a little dab of dielectric grease to protect them from corroding again.

Mine started doing that a year after I bought them and I was about to throw them away when I tried doing that and it completely fixed it.

“Trust us, says Microsoft”

lol, no.

Never had any to begin with

Since he has infinite power, he could have just made it so capacity constantly increases with population.

As you said, either way, it is a flawed premise.

Thanos could have doubled the amount of space and resouces in the universe just as easily.

For both of them the design features were dictated by an idiot who had free reign over the project and didn’t listen to any of the expert’s input.

And the video’s rating was plainly visible so you could use it to make the decision whether the video was even worth your click.

The shovelware AI slop video channels wouldn’t be such a problem today if we still had that.

“might stop anyone from 3D printing guns”

I can guarantee you that it won’t even do that.

And they want us to feel bad for pirating media

If the company using the AI service doesn’t foot the bill because of how their contract with the AI company was set, it is the AI company that loses money. Either is a win to me.

I’m so glad you asked.

Kitboga, a YouTuber who loves to mess with scam callers, has recently made a video showing what you can do to mess with an AI agent.

In a nutshell, they are designed to do what you ask them to do and be WAY more accommodating than any human would be. The more crazy things you prompt it to do that pulls the conversation towards something that no longer resembles a normal conversation, the more they will tend to ignore their original prompts and be easily talked into putting themselves in infinite loops. They also start to spectacularly glitch out because there is no training data for what you’re making them do.

Tons of fun to be had.

I said fresh tomatoes. You can’t make a salad with frozen tomatoes.

Why do you think I don’t?

I grow tomatoes because they taste infinitely better than what you can buy.

Yes, I end up with more tomatoes than I can consume. For about one month. For about 8 months of the year if I want fresh tomatoes I have to buy them still.

Scalpers are low lifes who don’t necessarily know much about the products they scalp. They must have thought it was going to be the same as the last few generations of gaming console releases.

I also believe that the typical potential customer for a Steam Machine will know better.

Never go to a place where the authorities can arrest and imprison you on a whim for doing something that would have been considered normal anywhere else. No matter how shiny the place is.
