I just typed in Lacie SSD into Amazon and wouldn't you know it the second-top result is a sponsored listing for the SanDisk Extreme 2TB with a $5 coupon, 4.7 stars and 46,000 reviews. Now if those reviews aren't fake I don't know what is.

Even better if you use Experian: give us access to all your spending data or else you'll never see a score increase again (source: been dealing with this for three years while Equifax continues to go up. I feel like they're doing something illegal, but they probably already were and nobody cares.)

Now if the USPS could just figure out a virtual address system we'd be golden.

Never heard of that one, I was telling somebody the other day about IceWeasel. So there definitely are FF clones. Or I guess you could just compile Firefox yourself and remove the denylist portion of the code. Would be extra funny if they compiled a version specific for France (because why block sites for everybody else?) and put it next to the regular one on their website with text that said oh BTW if you're in France definitely only download this version, wink wink.

I'll have more faith once it can reliably switch back and forth between Unicode symbols and their underlying HTML entities. It understands the concept of emojis and can use them appropriately, but I can tell there's still some underlying issues in the token/object model for non-ASCII symbols.

Oh just wait until you learn about all the miscategorizations that are lurking in Google Maps data. Want a nice seafood date for two? Head on down to the fish counter at your local Walmart! They categorized every business very generically and never made discrete tourism categories.

Now they "only" sell for about 50,000. There's still plenty of people who don't get why it's not worth that much.

Either way it's still a software restriction that can be bypassed with other software.

How do I approach a VC firm about losing all their money in a big spectacle? Seems to be all the rage these days.

Same but I never go on anymore because the people I used to follow don't post anymore, it's all been taken over by videos from like 5 accounts.

You mean people aren't hopping on the join the conversation with Crisco and General Mills? Who woulda thunk! I thought for sure that would be the killer application right there.

I just asked GPT to create a disaster recovery plan for a ransomware attack, and actually the information it gave wasn't wrong or bad. But it's also very generic, and it will rarely/never tell you correctly the specifics to your applications or where to click.
