That’s why he “sold” Twitter to xAI. It’s no longer “his”, so he can’t be forced to sell it. Loopholes within loopholes, it’s the billionaire way.

Sadly I cannot, since the source is an ex-Googler I know in person who was there personally. While I fully believe the story, I’m just some rando on the Internet, so you’re welcome to take it with the appropriate pile of salt.

At which point you have to slurp down a few hundred terabytes from the other datacenters when the power turns back on.

This is why Google datacenter managers hesitate to turn off the power even when an employee is in the process of getting electrocuted.

Do you have Google’s Messages app installed? If it actually does what they claim on the tin, maybe it was only installed on phones with the Messages app installed?

This amuses me, since I literally went from Gentoo to Arch because it felt like the same bleeding edge distro without having to wait for the compile time for half of the packages.

That said, I generally don’t recommend Arch (or Gentoo) to newbies. It’s great when it works, but the number of times I’ve had to troubleshoot some random dependency issue because I took more than a week to update my system would scare any newbie away. It’s a bit like the parable of the cobbler’s kids having the worst shoes, or the mechanic always driving a project car - when you have the skills to fix something, you’re willing to put up with a lot of bullshit that a normal person wouldn’t.

The ability to automatically detect commercials (via sound level / machine learning) and skip them would be amazing as well. There’s an app for iOS that does this, but nothing for Android.

I have a small script to toggle the visibility of a window when I press a hotkey. Press once, it launches the app if it’s not running, or unhides and raises the window if it is. Press again, it hides the window.

My distro recently switched KDE to Plasma 6 on Wayland, and of course the script stopped working. Researched how to make a Wayland equivalent. You can’t. It’s literally impossible to hide (or even minimize) windows from the command line.

They only offer that option for some models. For everything else, you have to select the Windows version with no added cost, and just eat the loss of the baked-in Windows tax.

I remember this captcha. I gave up after about the fourth round. The prize just wasn’t worth it, and I wasn’t on a machine where I could try scripting out a solution.
