I mean, could always cuddle with them.

Where is “here”?

Embarrassed to let it hear you wanking?

That doesn’t answer the question. What determines “$1800 worth of tokens”? Is that value calculated from computer time-infrastructure cost? Is it what they think an equivalent of work would be for the time it takes the query to run? Or is it an entirely arbitrary number?

If the last one, most likely they’re running at a loss and it’s gonna bite them hard when the bill is due for infrastructure.

What determines the value of a token? Is it Standley Nickels calculation, or did they actually attempt to tie it out to infrastructure and operating costs? If the latter, then anyone using these systems needs to be prepared for a serious rug pull as that’s squarely in “the first hit is free” territory.

Oh fuck off with your whitewashing. Majority of these AI installations are LLMs. Look at what Oracle, Grok, OpenAI, Microsoft and more have been trying to build off. It’s all an infrastructure race that is hurting us all (physically too if you look at how they’re being powered).

The sooner it collapses, the better.

I’m fine that people want to do it. I’m fine with the results of it. But man, I fucking hate that smell.

Nah, we’ll adapt. There are already bacteria that can break down and eat plastic. At some point, someone will have a genetic mutation in their gut bacteria that also causes it to breakdown and consume plastic and then the probiotic industry will be tripping all over itself to patent and sell it to us.

Should have made it a new LTSC build.

So I still don’t get where it’s “forced”. I downloaded a 25H2 ISO a couple weeks ago and installed on a VM from scratch. I chose Work computer, and under other options “Domain Join”. It asked me to create a local account…. And that was it.

The only thing I can think is it’s for “Home” editions, which you wouldn’t want to run anyway as that’s where all the testing crap goes.

Maybe their love child with Fern from Frieren.

“Maybe your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others”

That’s the one I got too.

Just note if your company uses Bitwarden enterprise, you’re eligible for a free personal license. (Unless they changed that)

My hate of SystemD is further justified! And you all just called me gray haired and not willing to update with the times!

Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a controller with more than 15 ports anyway. Usually looking through the device manager (or lspci) there are multiple USB controllers on a motherboard (mine has 4 for example) so theoretically you could do 60 ports. Also what can do you about chaining to hubs? Since technically the spec lets you chain up to 127 devices.

But the bigger question is, what in the world are you doing that’s requiring 15 ports.

Got news for you with the Datacenters…

Is that the inverse of shitting dick nipples?

Not voting was still a vote in and of itself. I hold them responsible too.

Good points. A few thoughts in the interest of discourse.

Because that what terms are for…

But even cars and other things have lemon laws, and bait and switch is illegal. Term shouldn’t be the be all, end all

Elections cost taxpayer money

Valid point there, which is why I was suggesting that there should be a higher barrier to it occurring, not the same level as a vote. Basically it has to be egregious

Changing leadership interrupts things…

Don’t agree with this one. This is the same argument that has kept senators in congress for decades with no term limits. Representative democracy was supposed to be rotational in spirit. Career politicians are an oxymoron. Also the new guy being worse is a bit of a “whataboutism”. A higher barrier to recall would help the constant switching.

… brain damage makes people conservative.

Truth.

I mean, I think they were looking for a little more detail that that.
