NaibofTabr,

Their track record isn’t safer than a human driver… because their system is a mechanical turk.

but it literally says it will update outside of active hours.

Yeah, but it lies.

And the privacy toggles are set when you install the OS. You can untick all of them the last time I checked.

But a future Windows update will reset them without informing the user.

Microsoft respects user choice about as well as Republicans respect voting rights.

NaibofTabr,

“Authorized” in the sense that even if I set all these options to No, a future Windows update will reset them and not tell me.

Has it been proven to happen on Windows 11? Not that I can point to specifically. 11 hasn’t been in general use long enough to see a real pattern of behavior.

I was a mixed Windows and Linux user through the full life cycle of the Cortana implementation. The number of times they changed or moved Cortana related settings through the years was just ridiculous. It finally came down to having to manually change registry settings to keep it from scanning your files and messing with basic local search, and even if you did that you had to make sure the registry values were still set after version updates because they would get unset without warning.

I have no trust left for Microsoft, only suspicion.

25 Years Later, I Am Now A Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Apologist (kotaku.com)

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is historically significant for many reasons: it was the first Star Wars movie in nearly 16 years, the last Star Wars movie shot on film, and a polarizing, pulpy entry in the storied space fantasy franchise. It debuted on May 19, 1999, 25 years ago almost to the day, and earned over $1...

Can I make an attempt to change your mind?

A Very Brief Analysis: The Phantom Menace

If you’re a Star Wars nerd, it’s completely worth the time. He digs pretty deep on the lore and the film production background.

US says it was 'unable' to provide Iran assistance after helicopter crash (www.reuters.com)

The United States on Monday said it had been unable, due largely to logistical reasons, to accept an Iranian request for assistance following a helicopter crash over the weekend that killed President Ebrahim Raisi, as Washington offered its condolences....

Hmm, the closest US asset would probably be the Black Hawk group stationed at Harir Air Base in Iraq, which is ~450km from the crash area. That should be within the operating range *with wingtip tanks. If they didn’t have the external fuel tanks ready to equip, or if they just didn’t have a crew available (because it’s the weekend) then obviously they couldn’t make it.

It’s also entirely possible that the US military wanted some official assurance that any units crossing the border would be treated as friendlies (especially in current context), and that just didn’t happen fast enough to participate in the search & rescue.

NaibofTabr,

“We believe it is healing part of the damage to the spinal cord injury such that the benefits persist beyond stimulation.”

Holy crap, that seems like a pretty big deal, especially for a noninvasive device.

NaibofTabr, (edited )

*some assembly required

Also everybody knows that only real tin foil works. Aluminum is for posers.

NaibofTabr,

So if we could completely annihilate a mass equivalent to the Moon with an equal mass of antimatter and capture all of the energy with no losses to heat and without ripping the device apart, that would work?

No problem, we’ll have it done next week.

NaibofTabr, (edited )

It’s such a train wreck, and it must have been obvious to a lot of the people working on it that it was going to be a train wreck.

I can really only imagine that this was the product of a corporate yes-man culture, where critical voices get sidelined or eliminated and the solution to every problem is to just throw money at it (but not too much money, just enough to make it look passable).

NaibofTabr,

Compressions force the blood flow. If you can keep some blood flow through the brain, almost everything else is survivable/fixable. Compressions are 100% vital. Brain tissue dies real quick without blood flow.

Also if you’re doing it right it is fucking exhausting manual labor so switch out every minute if you have another person available. And you will probably break some ribs, that’s just how it is.

NaibofTabr,

The shallower your incline is, the more air you have to fight through post-launch to get to orbit, during which you’re losing velocity. And to get into low-earth orbit you have to reach 28000 kph (17000 mph) because it’s not so much about going up as it is about going really fast.

So you need to leave the end of the gun going fast enough to lose speed to air resistance and still reach and maintain orbit. I haven’t attempted the math, but it seems like your vehicle would burst into flame going that speed in the atmosphere.

NaibofTabr,

Hugely tall and extremely rigid, because if it wobbles while the projectile is moving through it, it will tear itself apart.

NaibofTabr,

Have we checked the ground around 5+ story buildings in Moscow yet?

NaibofTabr, (edited )

It’s a hook they can use to drag the Christian voting bloc around with.

NaibofTabr,

Hmm, this made me wonder… does Trump keep toupées in different styles?

NaibofTabr,

Huh, they got this thing in place and operational in two months, that’s impressive. I definitely thought it was going to take longer.

NaibofTabr,

You mean between March and May of 2024? None so far as I can tell, though it’s hard to find specific information. HR 8034 passed the House on 20 Apr 2024, if that’s what you’re referring to, but it hasn’t passed the Senate or been signed into law yet, and in any case it is a funds appropriation bill meaning that all it does is earmark some money from the federal budget for the purpose of military aid - no material has been shipped yet based on this bill, nor will be for awhile.
