Yeah I'd be a super fan of a pixel that I wasn't eventually forced to replace because of a hardware issue.

Let me guess, they'll change their policy from openly encouraging and assisting scalpers to just quietly ignoring them?

IDK why the press continues to just toss him these easy softballs. All it does is give him a chance to make the talking points he was given.

Honestly what kind of answer do they expect? "Well I guest it says the president openly hates a huge portion of the American public."

Come the fuck on.

When it finally gets cold and motorcycle season and garden season both end at the same time:

Yep, this right here.

This will be used to systematically disarm minority populations, to make their campaign of ethnic cleansing easier to carry out.

Strands is dumb and out-of-touch centrists have completely ruined the New York Times.

Do you think this was a pretty savvy move from MS? Seems like they got a fully trained model with the most brand recognition, without a ton of risk because they were (I think) just expanding capacity at existing Azure datacenters.

IDK the full terms of the agreement though, way behind on the pod

Each candidate has to travel cross-country, working minimum wage jobs in cities of different sizes. They get 2 young children they have to care for.

They have to pay their bills, do laundry, cook, clean, help with homework. They get a 2004 Toyota Camry with 220K miles on it.

We had this great idea where elected officials would have to prove they understood the people they were representing. The higher the office, the more rigorous the challenge.

So instead of a presidential campaign we'd just get a months long Road Rules style challenge.

IDK why people hella wig out for modern horror movies.

Weapons: fine. kinda funny, not scary

Midsommar: only thing scary is the music and the runtime

Sinners: From Dusk Till Dawn, American South edition

Get Out is the only thing I've really enjoyed recently.

Ads won't save the industry but they'll definitely try and it's going to get really gross before its over.

"You say you're considering suicide, but maybe you're just hungry. Try a Snickers™!"

Oh and they'll use it to make the grossest ads we've ever seen:

DirecTV screensavers will show AI-generated ads with your face in 2026

Like other companies with streaming businesses, DirecTV is leaning into ads more.

To be fair, there's some really cool stuff happening with AI/ML in the scientific world and GPUs are in high demand.

Wait nevermind we cut the budget for all that

“AI is one thing that, as a commander, it’s been very, very interesting for me.”…

Big assumption that we'll be allowed to keep photos in the company housing.

The same people that came up with ideas like this and pushing ads to the start menu will be sitting around a year from now asking why adoption rates are so low compared to Win10.

Unfortunately they'll probably keep their jobs and shift the blame to some poor engineers that had nothing to do with it

Seems like they went the extremely lazy route of just building a small computer and putting bog standard Windows 11 on it.

kingchochacho.bsky.social @kingchochacho.bsky.social · 4d

It's a perfect vehicle for conservatives because it's so widely hated and publicly visible that it really helps them feed the victim complex that is central to so many of their hateful viewpoints.
