This is what portable computers should have been.


I understand the "and 10% on everyone else" part of the tariffs.

Do you think the media is too dumb to understand that, or are they just playing games when they point out a 10% tariff in someone who does not export to the US?


If Framework had used a ComExpress type 6 module in their laptops they would have had an upgradable processor.

I wish someone would build a new laptop abound a ComExpress module and all the freely-open parts from a Framework laptop.


My coworkers understand and envy my Lenovo e570, they just wish Apple or Dell sold one like I have new at a reasonable price.

I can not fault them. I wish GM still sold the S10 pickup.


The twin purposes of ToS are (1) to provide jobs for lawyers and (2) to screw the customers.

If the ToS were understandable, neither of those would be accomplished.


Name.com just changed their "privacy policy". I leveraged an LLM to analyze the differences, and to identify which party benefitted from the change.

Surprise, surprise ... The people get 1 change, Name.com getall the rest; including making parts of it more ambiguous.

But it was easy to understand using the LLM analysis and it took longer to read than generate.


If you haven't read it yourself how do you know that the LLM is correct?


> If you haven't read it yourself how do you know...

This vacuous objection can be raised against every single piece of information any human has ever learned from elsewhere, recursively, back to the dawn of communication, regardless of the nature of the third party source of information.

Furthermore, LLM hallucination, particularly of reviewed documents, is not a problem I experience any longer with the models I use. For example, my LLM setup and the query I would use would cause the output to include quotes of the differences, which makes ctrl+f/f3 to spot check easy.


LLMs are not a third party source of information, they're prediction engines with known hallucination behaviors. If they're faced with a difficult or impossible challenge (e.g. if the user fails to provide a diff, or fail to provide anything to compare against), and if there is only one type of answer in its training data (there is very little text on the internet that's positive about a TOS change), the most likely outcome is that it'll just make something up that's similar to that type of answer. Yes sometimes they'll realize and ask for more info or maybe call out to a tool to make a diff, but it all depends on the user's setup and settings and the state of RNG that day


And to protect the service provider from lawsuits.


Those two purposes are one and the same. The biggest reason for corporations to hire lawyers is to figure out the exact amount of consumer screwing they can legally get away with.

Whenever people come across any "terms" document, they are well served by simply ignoring it entirely and assuming it contains the following statements:

> you own nothing

> the company owns everything

> you have no rights

> you promise not to try and exercise any right you think you have

> if you ever convince yourself that you actually have rights, you agree to binding arbitration with the firm we pay

> you cannot do anything the company doesn't like

> the company can do literally anything it wants whether you like it or not

> the company is not responsible for anything, ever

> the company makes absolutely no guarantees about literally anything

> you agree to indemnify us in all possible circumstances


You decide to rot as AI does the work, or you decide to learn from the AI.

The same is true of managers. I have had managers who yelled at me to do things they did not understand. They rotted on the inside. Other managers learned every trick I brought to the company. They grew.


I use NameCheap for domain registration, web hosting, and email.

Unless I pay extra for Premium DNS, my DKIM is set wrong because their Web Hosting DNS does not oet me set it correctly.


> What's the defence against a swarm of drones apart from jamming them?

It's the same as the defense against a large air raid, except the targets are a little different:

+ Size of targets + Speed of targets + Altitude of targets


The web site says the digital copy us free, then links to another web site that says it is no longer free.

Scam?


Even 7th and 8th grades use TI Nspire CX calculators in my area.

As rightbyte said, RPN is an HP thing, so if you want an RPN calculator, ask for an HP. Most test administrators can help you.


>RPN is an HP thing

Not anymore, that's why older engineers pay inflated prices for old ones on ebay.


Or pay extra for https://www.swissmicros.com/products

Sadly my HP 48G is dead dead (water damage and corrosion) and they don't have a replacement for that.
