And Intel. Intel has been using TSMC fabs for a while.

They used to get a 40% discount, too, but that stopped recently when Pat Gelsinger said people should stop buying from TSMC because there’s a good chance they’ll be invaded.

TSMC’s CEO didn’t like that, and said “ok, no more 40% discount for you. Effective immediately.” (TL;DR’d, obviously).

I mean, in response to the last one, the Federation does allow (and sometimes advocates) for the correction of birth defects.

Julian: DNA resequencing for any reason other than repairing serious birth defects is illegal. Any genetically enhanced human being is barred from serving in Starfleet or practising medicine.

Deep Space Nine, “Doctor Bashir, I presume”

Doctor: Yes. It’s a girl. And aside from the deviated spine, she’s healthy.

Paris: Will she need surgery?

Doctor: Fortunately, we’ve advanced beyond that. Genetic modification is the treatment of choice.

Voyager, “Lineage”

So I imagine plenty of disabilities do end up being erased, it’s just that being disabled is also socially accepted to a much greater extent than today.

AI is 100% being trained using Lemmy.

Yeah what on earth? It’s not a health monitoring ring alternative, and doesn’t try to be. It’s a watch in ring form.

Smart rings/health monitoring rings are not the norm, I don’t see why any other ring would be automatically compared to them.

It’s not like many people have heard of that brand of ring, so it’s not even the kind of clickbait that would attract people, like mentioning an Apple product would be, or when anything about any EV would have to have Tesla in the title (e.g. “Is this EV a Tesla KILLER???”)

I’m not much of a ring wearer, I don’t even wear my own wedding ring, but this one actually looks pretty neat to me. I hope the battery is as easy to replace as they claim it to be.

Khan’s glorious chest not being featured is a disgrace

No shit? It’s run by ex-Twitter people, and Musk has brought a flamethrower to TwitterX.

“You’re serious? He needs a therapist with him to keep his anger under control?”

“That’s what our intelligence suggests, captain. And there’s more… he was once involved in a bar fight with multiple Nausicans. He was stabbed through the heart, then laughed at them. Should I answer his hail?”

“Oh fuck.”

Ok that’s actually pretty funny

Whoopsié

Surely a yard (3ft, ~90cm) is the most equivelant to a metre, not a foot

Heroic Games Launcher has been improving a lot, now having install scripts like Lutris, more platforms available, and a lot less janky than it used to be.

Bottles I don’t have much experience with for games, but it’s a really good program a lot of people use, and if you like Libadwaita apps it’s pretty amazing.

If you only need Lutris as a game launcher (rather than the install scripts, WINE/Proton-GE, and such), Cartridge is a nice little GTK4/Libadwaita launcher too. But it is just that - a launcher, nothing more.

“on the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.”

It takes a bit of mental gymnastics to assert that on the second day of Christmas he did not send two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.

If I said yesterday I gave my friend a pork pie and today I gave my friend some spaghetti and a pork pie, you would not come to the conclusion that my friend did not receive a second pork pie.

That’s what the lyrics say though.

On the X day of Christmas my true love gave to me, X [item], X-1 [item], etc.

The song explicitly states they give this stuff every day.

But it literally did nail it?

It’s giving you a list of the items that were received in the 12 Days of Christmas. And it’s correct.

12*1=12

11*2=22

10*3=30

And so on.

If you wanted the lyrics, that’s a different question.

Oh shit

I set “You’ve got mail” as my default notification sound as a joke less than a week ago. (E: not quite, more like 10 days ago)

RIP, your voice was heard by millions.

Lol

Norris couldn’t have done this even before RB started getting their car back under control. Add Ferrari to the mix and he’s even more cooked.

The only thing that’s went right for them is that Merc took another big step backwards after seemingly sorting their shit out.

For real.

I dislike Copilot with a burning passion, but I can’t deny it’s an amazing name. Because that’s what AI in an OS should be.

A copilot. One that will take over and help me do things, especially tedious things like offline translation, better screen reader functionality for the blind, better speech recognition and synthesis, etc.

Of course that’s not what MS is doing, they’re doing it to shove gimmicks down our throat and to scoop up data en masse.

Windows Intelligence is just… Ugh. Do they not get that Apple Intelligence, while still being a bit of a rubbish name, at least works because it still can be shortened to AI?

Absolutely based. Bringing up the swearing MBS has taken issue with as well as when he was losing his mind over Hamilton’s fucking nose stud, as opposed to serious FIA failings or fucking missiles landing near tracks.

They’re also right in that financial fines are useless.

I wish we had competent and rational people in the FIA.

Why even reply? Of course Jos is going to call everyone a POS whenever anything bad happens to Max or whenever anybody other than Max gets a seemingly lenient penalty.
