    Four astronauts are now inexorably bound for the Moon

    Where is the section of the article where it discusses NASA injecting a commercial LLM into the computer to aid the astronauts on their mission? I mean the tech is so reliable that everybody including the US Gov't is touting it. What you say? No "AI" in an era where everyone and their mom is...

    A production Ford sets third-fastest time ever at the Nürburgring

    No. in most places in the US, you can rack up tons of speeding tickets and your vehicle will not get impounded. There would have to be cause for arresting the driver and taking that person to a holding facility. That would be when a vehicle the driver was operating would be impounded. Some...

    A production Ford sets third-fastest time ever at the Nürburgring

    To be fair, in most places in the US "street legal" is subjective to the driver when you see golf carts driing on the side walks and e-bikes pretending like they're a part of heavy vehicle traffic, and tractors blocking a lane for 4 miles. Hell even parts of the US still aloow horse and buggies...

    OkCupid, Match pay no fine for sharing user photos with facial recognition firm

    Where have you been? The US is already there. Been there for a long while. NONE OF WHAT the GOP is currently doing is new and has been going on for 40+ years. The difference now is they are blatently acting out in public defying standing laws and NOBODY is holding them accountable! And the DEMs...

    OkCupid, Match pay no fine for sharing user photos with facial recognition firm

    Honestly, stuff like this needs to be refiled and readdressed after Trump leaves Office on the grounds that the FTC mishandled the complaints and ignored standing laws and policies. There are 2.5+ more years of the Trump Administration NOT GIVING A DAMN about citizen complaints. Bonus if the...

    After 16 years and $8 billion, the military’s new GPS software still doesn’t work

    $8 Bil over 16 years is only $500 Mil. And still doesn;t come close to the dumpster fire SLS project that is STILL NEVERENDING. OR the F-35 project that they also STILL have not gotten sorted. I mean hell, Hubble and JWST both cost more than this failed project. At least those were successful...

    Judge irate as defendant joins by Zoom while driving—then lies about it

    ... aaaaand yet before cellphones; and excluding makeup and reading the newspaper and other stupid non actual driving activities in vehicles; while fully focused on driving you can in fact operate most vehicles with one hand and one foot. And in fact ALL automatic vehilces you do only operate...

    Judge irate as defendant joins by Zoom while driving—then lies about it

    If she had had a lawyer with her, the lawyer could have pointed out that a camera feed, especially from a phone, can be reversed. And if so, would appear to have the person on the left side of a car, despite being on the right side; and appear that the seatbelft was in fact crossing from left to...

    Trump convenes “God Squad” to override Endangered Species Act, up oil production

    All I know is Kegseth is probably going to be running for the rest of his life, looking over his shoulder when he leaves DJT's shadow.

    AV1’s open, royalty-free promise in question as Dolby sues Snapchat over codec

    AV1 (one ... the number)? I was thinking this was AVI (eye ... the letter)!! Couldn't figure out why Dolby was suing some alliance over the Microsoft VIDEO CODEC (where apparently the Alliance opted to scam the name of the older VIDEO CODEC) Might have been nice in the article opener to make...

    Hegseth, Trump had no authority to order Anthropic to be blacklisted, judge says

    There are probably also a bunch of mock middle shool student governments taking cues from the Trump Administration. I seriously doubt that number is zero.

    Hegseth, Trump had no authority to order Anthropic to be blacklisted, judge says

    My question is Why is ARS calling it the "Department of War"? Trump signing a piece of paper in Jan 2025 (Presidential Executive Order) does not leaglly change the Department of Defense's name since that takes an Act of Congress, and Congress has not submitted legislation to the US President to...

    Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features

    I didn't know Vizio was bought by Wal-Mart. I guess that's why I don't see them in best Buy anymore. Either way, it was always a crap brand to avoid. This just adds to the list of reasons.

    Apple begins age checks in the UK with latest iOS update

    My Final Though: The US has its share of fucked up shit going on right now; but I am glad I don't live in the UK due to user data collection scams designed as "child protection" laws that dragnet end users where only corporations and lawmakers having their palms greased with kickback money end...

    (1) You do not need a CC to have an Apple Account (2) I have multiple Apple Accounts - only 1 of which is tied to a real identiy (3) You do not need to be an adult to obtain a CC (4) There are numerous methods to get around online age verificaiton (5) Maybe go back and rethink your entire...

    Apple begins age checks in the UK with latest iOS update

    Oh wait, because grown ass adults called PARENTS are incapable of managing their children, they need the Gov't to do it for them. Its not like Apple didn't already have a CSAM mechanism ready in the background to deploy as soon as some world Gov't cried about it because parents don't want to...

    Trump’s MAHA pick for surgeon general flounders amid GOP doubts

    And? Does anyone really think RFKJ is qualified to run the HHS? Beth? Anyone? Is Pete Kegseth qualified to run the DoD? Noem qualified to run DHS? Gabbard qualified to be DNI? At least Pam Bondi is legally a lawyer, as much as that qualifies her to be AG. Trump himself was previously a TV...
