Conservatives in Canada with Stephen Harper tried that in 2015.

Email and IRC push notifications through The Lounge. The rest is disabled. Even amber alerts, because my government uses them for everything. It’s “illegal” to disable them here but with a few commands on adb its possible to disable the service and never have to hear that end of the world alarm for an elderly person missing 200 km away from me.

Those responsible for the booing will be found and deported to El Salvador.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump’s not undead, AFAIK, but his attempts at concealing his health issues made me think about that pair, trying to hold themselves together with paint.

Sadly, it’s been a good part of IBM’s business model for years. They call it Capacity on Demand.

Inactive processor cores and inactive memory units are resources that are included with your server, but are not available for use until you activate them.

I learned this when I moved into a corporate IT environment with Power servers. I couldn’t believe that some companies would pay a quarter of a million for a server that is intentionally stunted/limited unless you pay even more.

But cars are computers now. “Everything’s computer!”. So they will follow that subscription model.

Why is it a bad thing?

Pretty sure he’s not sweating it.

Just not Bell anymore. I’ve tried enough to know how it will turn out and there’s no need to try again.

Plus, I really hate the fact that they send people knocking on my door, or wait for me and my neighbours by the elevator. As despicable as the others are, they are not doing this shit.

NIE. WIEDER. BELL.

Bell Canada. They have salespeople doing door to door. They also “partner” with landlords to setup little kiosks with salespeople in the hall of big buildings. Like, you’re getting home, pass the RFID lock for tenants only, then there is a Bell representative waiting for you next to the elevator.

But with Bell it’s not just their marketing. Once they sell you something they change the terms and/or charge you a different amount than what was agreed.

If you discuss this with one of their salesperson, they will claim that Bell has changed and promise everything will be fine this time if you take a new contract with them. But spoiler, they don’t change and are always just more aggressive with their marketing.

Sometimes I feel a bit bad for the salespersons because they are often immigrants or young people that have not been fooled by Bell yet. They are enthusiastic but end up getting told to fuck off by people that have experience with Bell. I’m usually polite but very firm with them.

EDIT: Same with Hello Fresh. I have never used them but since some salesperson knocked on my door to try to sell me their services, I will make sure to never buy anything from them.

Why is everyone saying it’s Trump? Isn’t Stephen Miller the one pushing for all this?

Your optimism can only be admired. However the US has already stated multiple times that it doesn’t care about international law and that Americans cannot be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity, or they will invade the Netherlands. The ICC cannot even detain an American. This was during W Bush and his “war on terror”.

And then Trump recently reiterated it with a new executive order, imposing penalties and visa restrictions on people even helping the ICC to investigate Americans.

How many times has he “completely lost it” recently? He’s always been insane. Insanely stupid in fact. Nothing new here.

Yet, when we read the headlines, every few days or weeks, he “completely loses it”.

If he were throwing grass in the air, eat dirt, or speak in tongues, maybe it would be worth the completely lost it title. Otherwise, it gets old after a few times.

That must be why Google’s greenhouse emissions went up 50% in five years. ChatGPT’s legendary efficiency.

Keep defending those power wasting glorified autocomplete. In no way are we doomed as a species.

We can just continue tu pump more and more into the air. “AI” will surely find a solution for that anyway.

I usually do. This was from my google news feed, which opens in Chrome. I could have opened it with FF, which has uBlock origin, but it’s not worth it.

I just got mildly infuriated when this crap appeared.

I though this was the place for this but apparently not. I’ll delete the post and never try posting anything on lemmy again. Have a nice day.

It probably consumes as much energy as a family house for a day just to come up with that program. That’s what happens.

In fact, I did a Google search and didn’t have any choice but to have an “AI” answer, even if I don’t want it. Here’s what it says:

Each ChatGPT query is estimated to use around 10 times more electricity than a traditional Google search, with a single query consuming approximately 3 watt-hours, compared to 0.3 watt-hours for a Google search. This translates to a daily energy consumption of over half a million kilowatts, equivalent to the power used by 180,000 US households.

I’m not a cable expert by any means and can’t answer all the questions, but I can tell you that the protocol used by cable is called DOSCIS. So it might guide you into some of those answers.

And the coax cable itself doesn’t go very far now because it’s connected to a fiber network somewhere in your neighbourhood.

What a nasty question! Very nasty!

AFAIK it’s acceptable if the parent is walking or sitting with the child. It’s only abusive if you tie the leash outside while you go run some errands in a store, or if left attached in the backyard.
