I buy whatever’s cheapest (and has the specs I want), but unfortunately that’s almost always the “EP1C K1LLERZ XTREAM PRO ULTRA X” brand... Somehow adding LEDs makes it cheaper.

I just want a plain cardboard box with the specs and SKU printed on the side like I have at work.

You can also use AI without lying. For example, by reviewing everything it outputs before submitting.

I’ll just change my web browser’s user agent then; you’re a fucking website, you don’t need to know which OS I’m using.

It’s amazing how many “unsupported” web apps work perfectly fine once you change the UA. It’s often a completely arbitrary limitation so that they can hire less qualified support staff.

Thank you daddy Trump for temporarily slowing down the financial disaster you caused. I barely even remember that the economic wars you started were completely unnecessary and counter-productive.

X's official support channel, which has been dormant since August, has so far remained silent on the outage, but one user asked Grok—X's chatbot that provides AI summaries of news—what was going on, and the chatbot echoed suspicions about the DDOS attack while raising other theories.

That's not how LLMs work... Why is Ars endorsing that brain-rot?

My job title is "Linux System Administrator". I'd quit if they tried to make me drop Linux.

It's a nightmare to search for anything about GUID Partition Tables (GPT) now.

In exchange, FF uses Google search by default. So they're also getting direct value from the deal.

The real problem is the government not protecting consumers from such predatory business practices. It's almost certainly not legal, and if it is then it shouldn't be. After 3-4 companies are absolutely destroyed, companies will stop doing it.

Reminds me of lolcode:

"Vending machines are more deadly than sharks".

While it's true that (at least for some years) more people are killed by vending machine accidents than shark attacks, your personal risk depends on what you do. If you're a vending machine factory worker who never goes into the ocean, you're far more likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark. But if you live in a part of the world that doesn't have vending machines and you swim in the ocean every day, the reverse is true.
