There actually are updates to it as for the last three years Microsoft has continued to patch it under the commercial “Extended Security Update” program - that only ended in January 2023.
You just couldn’t get them as a home user without doing a lot of tweaking on your own.

Nope, and even if there was it would be from Russian sources so you couldn’t really trust it anyway. Kremlin says they had nothing to do with the plane crash either, but, you know.

Countless services exist where you can buy captcha solving, though currently it’s done by actual humans in developing countries for tiny pay. Yet another job that’s going to soon be replaced by AI, though this time it almost certainly will result in some people starving to death.

But there would be no-one to do so. In a copyrightless world George R.R Martin would need to have another job to pay the bills and wouldn’t be able to dedicate his time for writing, and HBO or anyone else pouring massive amounts of money to create shows also wouldn’t be able to exist as they would gain no profit from what they do as their creations would also be in the public domain. Unless you live in an utopia with universal income and replicators that completely eradicate any need for money or ownership of anything, copyright itself as a concept is vital, the issue is just how corrupted the current system has become - which is mostly due to the greed of Disney.

To give an example, if all books were automatically public domain HBO could have created Game of Thrones without paying George R.R. Martin a single cent for it, then publish and sell “Game of Thrones: The Book”, aka the entire Song of Ice and Fire series, again without paying him anything and stealing all of his profit in the process.

Not yet. But mysk has said he wants to make X like WeChat, which has payment and sending money as one of the key features.

In a way they are as there is no “men only” tournaments. There is open for all, and a few women only. You just won’t see any women in the open for all tournaments as they fail to qualify so ending the womens tournaments would just result in having no female competitors at all.

Having the current best female chess player, Hou Yifan, be at rank 55 and be the third woman ever to be in the top 100, while the second best woman, Aleksandra Goryachkina, is at rank 347, doesn’t exactly paint a very gender-balanced playing field.

If the service is decent enough with servers close by, it really isn’t bad at all. In a PCgamer test, the input latency for Metro Exodus and Destiny 2 went from 46ms and 51ms local to 96ms and 75ms from GeForce Now, and 179ms and 129ms from Stadia.

For comparison, back when Tekken 7 was released on the PS4, it had 120ms of input lag.

Youtube knows I have subscribed to 515 channels, I have liked 2364 videos and favourited 685. It already floods the recommended videos with others based on “Users who follow<creator Y> enjoy videos of <creator X>”.
They for sure do not require my watch history to be able to recommend videos to me.

The Java Team posted that they would be leaving and stopping official communications on reddit.

It’s simple really, the thing he owns is x.com, so he’s just gonna… oh bugger, XCOM.

IIRC GTX 700 was the last nVidia generation to have XP driver support so you probably wouldn’t be able to get it working properly anyway.

Changed to X Æ A-XII because numbers weren’t legal, pronounced “X Ash A Twelve”, nicknamed “X”. And the second was Exa Dark Sideræl (pronounced sigh-deer-ee-el), now known just as “Y” or, according do Grimes, “?”, because it’s pronounced “Why”.
So Musk has children called X and Y, two companies called SpaceX and X, and Tesla has Models S, 3 (E), X, Y.
Why Musk? No, not you, I’m asking your dad.

Because it’s doesn’t make enough money.

Model X is called that because he wanted the models to spell SEXY - but Ford still owns “Model E” so he had to go with S3XY instead.

It might in the end. For example the end goal of Uber was self driving car development that would eventually replace all of the drivers, creating a network of inexpensive self driving taxis and shared rides reducing the amount of individual cars on the roads and especially basically completely remove the need for parking, as the car is always in use by someone.

Afaik posts and comments are copied locally to federated instances so if the original went down you could still access what was once there from some other instance.
E.g everything (excluding uploaded images/videos) on https://sopuli.xyz/c/technology@beehaw.org would still be there without beehaw.

Both parties did understand it, as the previous contracts were agreed by him texting back “Looks good”, “Yup” and “Ok”. What the court actually ruled is that “👍” has the same meaning as those - which most people would agree to, no? It ended up in court because the farmer wanted out of it due to the change in flax seed prices and saw a possibility in the argument that this time he didn’t actually mean he agreed to the pre-signed contract, just that he had received it.

In this case the article is missing the crucial information that the farmer had used phrases such as “looks good”, “yup” and “ok” when agreeing to previous contracts. So the thumbs up was seen as a continuation of those, and not as a new agreement.
