What did you do?

What did you expect?

What did you observe?

It’s an old desktop PC

One (or more) of the electrolytic capacitors in your PSU has died.

Remove the power cord, wait for 2 hours, open the PSU and look carefully for the candidate(s) with the domed head. Healthy ones are perfectly flat on the head.

Order a new one and replace it.

Everything that Elon designs is made for ONE purpose ONLY: for him being able to sell it.

If you are asking isn’t that the same with all products?

Well, most normal products are made to be useful. Regarding sale, they are meant to sell themselves because they are useful.

Then there are some kinds of products that need professional sellers (industrial machines, ‘special’ brands of kitchenware…). But here it is restricted to the person Elon, yes, he himself. If he believes in it, he makes it, and everything else does not count.

Oh, come on… it’s everywhere in the news for several months now, because all of the Big Techs suddenly (!) want to do that.

This guy does a great service to humanity.

If there’s too much power the car will start driving you.

I have learned this from my mother.

When she was young and already married, it was the time when women could not drive cars very good. At least not as good as all the men. At least that was what the tradition and every man said, and they had many such stories to tell.

So my dad got a BMW 5 series then.

People in the village started to warn my mother, for serious! Be careful. Maybe better don’t drive it at all. This thing could easily run away with you.

My mother stayed super cool and told them nothing is going to happen, it needs me first to press down the pedal. And although she really did not drive it as often as my dad did, she was a good and safe driver.

they have insane amounts of horsepower and instant torque

No, no. The car is not driving you. You are driving the car. It must do what you want.

If you let the car drive you, then no wonder you are dead quite soon. So, maybe these numbers are indeed telling something about Tesla drivers…?

I can find only computer monitors there.

Surely they did NOT want this to happen.

Surely they do NOT want to win their case.

…

I want a TV with NO OS.

Soldiers didn’t murder that unarmed civilian, AI did.

Soldier did the (rough) aiming.
Soldier pulled the trigger.

Still hard to blame AI for it, don’t you think?

Oh but I don’t need to think too much through it. It is pretty much the legal situation in Germany (and probably several other European countries). There may be some edge cases that I don’t know.

Of course, if you send stuff to me, then you are the first of the evil ones :) and if I can convince the judge that I did not know and did not want (!) the stuff (and by the way, how did they even know about it? Even before I had the chance to delete it?), there will be room for a reasonable decision.

Ireally don’t want to give my personal information to apple if I can avoid it…

The bad news is… drums rolling…

You can’t become an Apple developer that way.

You will give them your true personal information, as well as your beliefs and your immortal soul… 😉

researchers concluded that “outlawing all deepfakes is unrealistic and unfeasible”—especially since all the harmful AI-generated images that are already out there are likely to “remain online indefinitely.”

Just think a little bigger:

It must be a crime to have the harmful material.

Have it on your PC or phone —> goto jail.
Have it in your online account —> goto jail.
Be a service provider and have it on your server —> goto jail.

This will reduce the stuff.

the claims against Meta expire at the end of this year, so users would have to act quickly — by filing a lawsuit and proving they were victims of the incident

This is somewhat misleading.

They have to file their claim before the end of the year. But then they can add the proof later.

They usually request data that can be obtained from their business data, bookkeeping etc. Doing such a survey work shouldn’t be neccessary for answering the EU’s questions.

IMHO it smells.

Google is doing this to provide data on the impact this will make for these publishers

Read: trying to threaten them.

You should understand that Chinese people or companies have no choice there. It is not exactly a free world. As soon as they are asked by their authorities, they can only say yes.

(But it’s not quite different in Usa with their so called national security letters)

Can I go to my public sites

I would not recommend. Remember, wherever you step, your feet are leaving traces. Your public sites may be a little too publicly well-known afterwards.

and/or VPN into my servers?

VPN’s might not work from there, or the use may be considered a crime.
